Today I Had free time to get in extra time at the Gym. I got the usual hour in at 6 and was able to get another hour in after Lunch so I got a really good burn today. Work was slow so I basically had the time to myself to go upstairs and use the bench press and a few machines to push harder than the morning training and listen to music. When I was done everyone was still kind of hanging out, which is good because it means nothings broken atm or in need of adjustment.

I also got the last of my finacial paperwork tha I've been trying to get turned in done and sent out! Been stressing this one since february so its a big deal. Granted, I still need to wait for approval but just having it pending makes me feel like I'm getting more done than just being stuck in the mud. I appreciate all my co-workers at the office have done to help me through the process. Fingers crossed but im fairly comfident that it going to be accepted.

I brought a bag of candy to work for my co-worker who always leaves a bowl out with candy in it. I don't take much from the dish myself but I appreciate what she does for workplace morale by putting of decorations and candy for everyone. I wanted to contribute to what I feel is a healthy work environment and take part in the financial burden!

These are three positives from my day that I figured I'd write down for late, leaving a record on my battle against the negative bias and reenforcing the positive moments!

Today was longer than most. I woke up extra early today for PT today, and to be honest I'm not sure why. For some reason I felt I needed to inorder to be ready or something, it was weird hehe. Anyway I was standing outside like 15 minutes before the prior 15 and just hanging out like a goof, but other than that it was a great morning. School was the same old, but I really enjoyed the lesson. We worked on building networks in packet tracer, adding wireless connections. Afterwards was just hanging out.
I was fine most of the day, even really motivated. It's just that after I got out of the school house and on my way home I felt really drained of energy. I ate and just sat in my room scrolling through tiktok. I wanted to do other, more productive, hobbies or even just enjoy a game but I just couldn't. I called my partner and it helped but I felt really isolated and sad even after talking to her. Just a feeling of sinking into despair I guess lol. It didn't help that someone posted the Christmas message to Kirito from Sachi from SAO either. Though by the time I started writing this I'm feeling much better and things have for the most part leveled out. Now I'm looking forward to tomorrow, gonna get a few miles done in the morning and kick the day off right! It's comforting to have such a loving partner I can share these feelings with, it's really a blessing in itself. I'll get to see her this weekend and hopefully we can spend some quality time together and I can see my lil jiji and Riley. Anyway, I have to go to sleep a bit early to make up for the lack of sleep I'm getting recently plus I gotta get up early to get ready. Thanks and good nite!

My day started around the usual 4 this morning, a little later than I would have approve of to be honest. I've started to notice a difference in the way I act since I got here, slowing down and growing complacent. Most of the others already bring their phones to the school house but I still leave mine back. I really don't see a reason to take it, it's just more of a chance to catch the smoke with little payoff. Plus, with the current lessons it's important to pay attention while in class.
Class has been flying by, to be honest, with the current lessons on sub-netting and networking in general. It has peaked my interest being one of the several lessons I chose this for. Unfortunately, final form and bus form are still just as tedious as ever. Most of them honestly feel pointless, but I just remind myself of the importance of drill and ceremony. From there my free time was mostly doom scrolling after I knocked out a quick hr CQ . Got a little pissed, because my CQ partner chose to go to mail call instead of his CQ duty but that wasn't nearly as bad as I figured it would be . I imagined he'd have us doing pushups until bed checks, but he was super cool and just had us clean the van.
When my shift was over I linked up with some friends and got some pizza off them, We hung out for a bit before heading back up to our barracks. I worked a bit on some story points for a SWTOR character I'm writing about and browsed FA. I've also about finished the descriptive paper for a fursona I wanna commission a ref sheet for. I'm holding off till I find an artist I really like and I have a bit more cash before I actual commission the art. Things seem to be coming together to be honest. Now if I could just put myself to bed earlier I could probly increase my work ethics. Good nite!!!

Today was relatively uneventful. Started bright and early as usual and I hit the ground running! me and a bud knocked out breakfast and after a quick shower we were on our way to the dentist for my appointment. I had needed a filling and was glad I could finally take care of my last medical issue. The rest was class for a better part of the day, learning and reviewing Subnet IP addresses. The food was good and the standing around was minimal.

After class a couple of us decided to go check out the gym, we worked out for about an hour before getting back to really relax for awhile. Back in my room, I decided to play on my buddies minecraft before finally dusting off some of my stories to pick up where I left off. I think I'll expand on my favorite SWTOR character story and post it here, but regardless I'll have something to post by this Friday. As for this particular Journal entry I'm falling asleep rn so I'll make it short.
