You’re going on a cross-country trip. Airplane, train, bus, car, or bike?
Definitely have done this and gone by bus, car, and train. I went from Boston to Albany by bus, then train to Buffalo. Friend picked me up and we went to Ontario where she lived. From there we drove to Ohio. From Ohio we went to Detroit,Michigan. Then I took the train to Chicago. Stayed with my friend for a week and then took the train back to Boston. It was wonderful and I loved it.

I was able to sleep until 6am. I tried going back to sleep a few times but wasn’t really successful. My sister kept coming into my room to ask me questions. Then she came in when I got up and I was on my laptop telling me to go downstairs as my other sister needed to go out and some guy was coming. I went downstairs, not even brushing my teeth or having a cup of coffee. She told me what she wanted to have done. She said the guy would be here in like two hours so she went to do what she needed to do and I went back upstairs. I brushed my teeth and then had coffee.
I thought about going to Starbucks to do my psych work but it was like 1pm and I knew the chances of getting a seat on a Saturday that late were slim to none from past experience. I worked on my Anthro paper and then decided to go grocery shopping. I didn’t save it. When I came home after shopping, I had trouble opening my laptop. It wouldn’t bring me to the log in screen. I waited and waited for like 10 mins and then did a reboot. The reboot took like 20 mins and I thought my laptop was dead because after I logged in, I just got a blank screen instead of my desktop screen. I was in panic mode because if I lost what I wrote for this fucking paper, I would lose my shit. I patiently waited and then I saw my desktop pic. Everything loaded. I breathed a sigh of relief. I immediately loaded Word to see if it autosaved my document and it did. I was saved.
My editor sent me a message yesterday. It was about my remaining balance, which she said I could pay anytime. I sent a reply today asking her for guidance on summarizing my book for the back page. I just have one line. One meansley sentence. I am so bad at it. I think my first book had like two sentences.
I am pretty tired after being up all day. I am going to try and type up my notes for the observation assignment for Anthro. I hate this class. I watch a documentary about pigs last night for this class. I still don’t know where to look up these vocab words for the exam. I am totally lost. I’m still waiting for exam 1 results. Hopefully he will put them in next week.
I watched the ERAS tour last night and then I couldn’t sleep until 630/7 this morning. I slept on and off until 4pm. I got up and brushed my teeth. Made coffee and a PB&J. My niece was making potato skins so I decided to make smiley fries.
I’m going to try and do my anthro readings. Sox are playing at 6 so I will listen to the game. I am tired and despite having two cups of coffee, feel like I can go back to sleep.
My editor gave me an invoice on the remaining payment I owe her. I don’t get paid for another two weeks or so. I haven’t looked at the edits. I know if I do, my schoolwork isn’t going to get done. I emailed one of the TAs to get some help in understanding some of the concepts in chap 5 in psych. Tomorrow will be psych day. I’m going to go to Starbucks and just spend a couple hours reading and taking notes.
What strategies do you use to cope with negative feelings?
What strategies do you use to cope with negative feelings?
I have been trying to work on this for the past year or more. I do different things to cope with negative feelings. My top one is distraction. I will go on my phone, make a playlist, listen to music. The music will depend on the feelings. I also stop if I notice I am downspiraling. But I am not good at catching it lately. I will also try to chat with a friend. I am lucky I have friends in different time zones to talk to if I am up in the middle of the night.
