what did you give me to make my heart beat out my chest


Hi! Yesterday and today was a bit of a busy day, I guess. After "praksis" yesterday, I met up with the kilo-gang at our usual cafe, and we spoke for a few hours, and I'm sure we could have continued for hours more. Sugar and I shared some worried looks over at Kiwi and my belieber friend at times, as they seemed a bit more crazy than usual. It was lovely, however, and so nice to catch up. When we do these catch ups, we speak about nearly everything, and people who walk past us must think we're slightly loco. I probably would, if I was a stranger. I got home at 8:00 pm yesterday, after a nice trip on the train with Sugar. Friends are a big source to happiness. It's not the first time I've said it, and probably not the last. The first thing I did when I got home, was to eat before I jumped into the shower. And before I knew it, it was 9:50 pm, so I had to blow dry my hair, and go straight to bed. Today I woke up a lot earlier than I would have needed to, but it was nice nevertheless. I always do treasure the minutes I have for myself in the mornings. We didn't have an ordinary day at "praksis" today, as there was a lecture of sorts-- about trauma and dissociation, as we have a lot of patients with those. There were cake and tea, so I got myself a piece of chocolate cake and a cup of tea in addition to my own breakfast this morning. Was quite nice, I ought to say. During the lectures, Sally kept using things from my pencil case without asking for permission, and she basically has been doing it the last week. I didn't mind of course, found it rather amusing that she used my pencil case more than I did myself. And I don't know, but it strangely feels like it's a progress in the "getting to know each other" period. Like, if she feels comfortable enough to do that, then, it's nice. And I'm just so happy both Sally and the other student (who I'll call Allie from now on) are so kind and they both have very positive attitudes, which I find really important. Especially since I spend a lot of time with them, and it sucks spending time with people if they're only going to be negative. Because it'll affect you, no matter how many positive things you've experienced a day, your mood will be brought down if you spend time with someone who is plain negative throughout the whole day. And it's mentally exhausting, I find. Anyway, Sally, Allie and I had to leave early, as we had school at 1:30 pm. But before that we had our lunches in the canteen, and I sat beside this lady, who herself had experienced quite a trauma, and it was very inspiring to hear her talk. So much that when Allie and Sally started packing up and notifying me that we had to leave, I was reluctant to go. She was a very friendly lady, and I appreciated that she shared her story with us, as I can imagine it's a hard thing to tell. It's one of those kind of things that reminds you to be grateful for things in your life. And it really does give you another perspective in your life. Also, it is amazing how strong a human being can be, if it's needed. Anyway, Allie drove Sally and I to school. However, we had to walk quite a long way to her car, so I was freezing my ears off. The pictures are old, just so you know-- we didn't walk that way. Jeez, that would be horrible. School was nice, I think we've got quite a relaxed "praksis" group, and our teacher is quite nice. However, we had about half an hour to prepare a little presentation of sorts. And we were four people in my group with one book. So we were scrambling to write notes. Don't think anyone had time to even read through the bloody thing. The guy in my group said with a sigh after he'd written his script: "I don't know how she thinks we'll learn from this". It was quite stressful, and stress doesn't go that well along learning. We ended up staying a bit over the supposed time, and then Kiwi and I went to the library. Speaking of Kiwi. I ordered something for her birthday just after Christmas Eve, 29th to be exact. And it's yet to come. Previously when I've ordered from this certain company, it's taken two days from the order and to the delivery, which is amazing. In my eyes, at least. But now it's gone 24 days, and it's yet to be sent, which kind of pisses me off. But that's that, and I can't really do much about it. Kiwi also sent me a very nice and reassuring message yesterday, I think. Didn't see it until now, but it was in line with the blogpost I wrote yesterday about Scott. So thanks, Kiwi. That was very nice of you, and very needed. I think I'm quite happy these days. Overall, I guess. Maybe it's the sleep I've been getting. Albeit I am very tired today, and would like to go to bed now. I have tomorrow off-- well, not exactly, as it's meant to do school work. And I am going to do that. But today, tonight, I might just enjoy myself and catch up on some Youtube videos. And if I end up doing some school work in addition, that would be great. But I feel like I really need some time to relax now. I think I'll do some stretching and relaxing yoga. Especially since I was standing for half an hour, waiting for the train that was delayed. And I do always get quite tired of a stuffed train. Ha, I was actually dozing off on the train, and each time I blinked my eyes open, I caught this woman's eyes. Each bloody time. Oh well, have a nice Wednesday evening. Be happy and stuff, count your blessings xx.
