I accomplished something today: I closed the store by myself for the first time! Nothing blew up. I was proud of myself. I now know that I can open and close the store with no extra guidance. My boss has been without an assistant manager for months, and I immediately come in and lock the job down. I'm really happy with myself. ^_^

After three hours of standing in 80-people long queue (from 7am to now), avoiding two instances of fisticuffs and without much vulgar insults exchange with the elderly, I've managed to secure my sister a laser therapy on 19th May.

I feel proud of myself. This truly proves I can fight with administrative machine of Poland without losing hope and sanity

>Got ready for work earlier than usual, had extra time to read.
>Was totally in control of 1st/2nd grade classes, maybe for the first time all year.
>Found a way to keep drama club mostly quiet for an entire half hour.
>Actually had energy left over after work.
>Finally went to bio store and got the good soy milk powder.
>Nearly home, from inside the tram I saw a massive thunderstorm beginning. I jumped out 2 stops early to walk home through the park in the rain. It became an incredible downpour within seconds and I was soaked as though I had jumped into a lake. The park was abandoned. I jogged as far as I could without collapsing (I'm in really terrible cardiovascular shape), then fast-walked the rest of the way. Mid-way through, it turned to hail. Big pieces of hail that actually stung when they hit me. Just as I was nearing home, the storm mostly let up, reduced to a light rain. Despite my discomfort I felt just amazing and couldn't stop laughing.
>Despite incredible exhaustion, managed to get over 1000 words written for novel.

Finally compiled the first version of my dwarf fortress utility.
I still need to debug and test it.

Tweaked a script for ripping music from SoundCloud, to get around their security changes.

I approve of the thread, Sappho! I can be a rather dolorous person, and I know I would feel better if I kept a gratitude journal. That should go on my todo list.


Today is more productive than yesterday. I’ve already spent two hours programming, and I still have this whole afternoon.

>Taught 3rd and 4th grade lessons based on Adventure Time. Yes. That happened.
>Holy crap awesome weather.
>Private lesson asked for a Skype lesson today (got to go straight home after work and chill for a while before it started, then we talked about April Fool's Day pranks and Charlie and the Chocolate Factor for an hour).
>Manged to get over 1000 words done for novel before the Skype lesson started (did that shit in 45 minutes, YES).
>Realized how close to completion my first draft finally is.
>Came up with several promising short story ideas and actually thought to write them down.

Writing quickly is easy for me. Figuring out what to actually write... That's the difficult part! (Sometimes it takes me 4-5 hours to write that much... But yesterday was a great writing day!)

And I thought I had an accomplishment by writing up to 13 pages in MS word in an hour ._.
^{Could I ask for tips, Sappho? That's be amazing}
On fantasy world building as the first and final outline...
^{Yeah I edit while I type >_<}

> Finished recreating worldbuilding document ever since I lost it all in a USB
Yay! \o/

Ha, well it doesn't sound like you need any tips. 1000 words is only about a page and a half A4, so if you wrote 13 pages in an hour, that was something like 8250 words!!!

EDIT: Today's List!

>Got last-minute notification that my Czech-speaking aide for my first and second grade beginners English classes wouldn't be there today and I was completely on my own. Totally managed to run the classes well without any Czech translation whatsoever and had a good time doing it, acting like a lunatic to teach the kids important words and explain things, everyone laughing and joining in like the best game of charades ever.
>The moment when kid K in first grade finally understood what I was trying to say (that the other teacher was out because her son was sick), the look on her face, awesome victory face, so great.
>Had a paper hat dance party with first grade in the last ten minutes of class.
>Actually got an English-speaking tech support rep on the phone after nearly a year of trying.
>Had enough energy left after work to go buy some new warm-weather socks and a brand new USB keyboard.
>My new keyboard has a number pad. A NUMBER PAD!!! And now I can even write on my new computer with its shitty keyboard, which means I can use game making software that won't run on my old machine.
>Even after this exhausting day, managed to write nearly 700 words for the novel.

Holy shit. I was just feeling kind of blah, but this is one of those days where writing down everything awesome that happened makes me realize what a great day it really was...
