@Glisten I always live with a few hours of guilt if I'm not out of bed by 10am at the latest. I have my alarm set for 8.30 each morning but part of feeling so blah lately I haven't had the energy or desire to get up.
That I'm wanting to get up at 8.30 is proof I'm feeling better so I need to keep the momentum going.
I'm trying to get into the habit of doing some bible study in the morning so that is good incentive to get up early.
I envy you your sauna. My shoulders have been giving me so much pain lately I would love some sauna time.
That's hilarious about Google. I'm going to try speaking Finnish at it, see what it comes back with! 🤣

Thanks @Dreamy I particularly like the last one about muddling through and "good enough". 😊
@ENKELI @Glisten i book appointments for 9am or 10am on non-work days sometimes as a way to get myself out of bed. 😉 because I very strongly dislike cancelling or rescheduling appointments! So I will always make sure I am on time and there lol. Sometimes I dislike my past self for it lol. But I know its good for me. Otherwise the dogs would be getting me up anyway.

@AlwaysMyself @Glisten there's nothing like just muddling through but if that's what it takes to get through then that is indeed good enough ☺️

Hi @Dreamy I just heard back and now I can now book an appointment to have a session with a social worker!! Lucky I was told that they can help me with the application!! 😊
I think I’m on the verge of transferring the degree, now I just need to think about what certain units/subjects I need or want to pick for next trimester that fits the social science degree whilst I’m still on my current one.
I just realised that someone mentioned that during your 3rd year in uni (especially in the 3rd year major/core units) lecturers tend to be more harsh in marking assessments? I think this goes for every degree sadly but I hope in social science, the units will be easier for me than the ones in psychology are and will be.

@ENKELI doing your Bible study in the morning is a WONDERFUL way to start your day!
Can you feel that? I’m poking you with a stick of love and encouragement 🥰
With your Health Care card, it costs less than $10 for a sauna. Get your shoulder in there woman❣️
It’s the only reason my muscle tear mended so quickly.
Avoid the middle of the day Population Peak Period.
Google voice to text 😂 I wish I was there when you speak Finnish 🇫🇮

@AlwaysMyself @ENKELI Pets are like that.
Also they need to check that they don’t have to resort to eating your corpse.
The nightmare of every pet.

Hi 👋🏼 @Blackcloud I was just passing and saw your post about changing your Degree.
Good for you for taking the initiative and using the support systems available to you.
Lecturer’s should never mark a paper to the detriment of the student, but for the student’s edification.
Researching my lecturer’s background and PhD thesis was an advantage, when communicating with them.
Lecturer’s get nervous too 🙃

@Glisten I came across some posts that mention about this lecturer who is very rude and when students asked/requested her for their assessments to be reassessed? (as in, for their original marks to be changed) the lecturer herself responded to them rudely saying what grounds they have to stand on the reassessment, and she was/is just overall a very blunt person. Lucky I haven’t had her yet since this is just my very first trimester but I would definitely avoid choosing her in that case (lucky you can choose which lecturers you want because it’s online).
Sadly I think shes the unit coordinator and also one of the lecturers in the research methods unit/subject, and since research methods is a core unit in social science as well I am gonna make sure that I definitely don’t choose her as my lecturer.
