1.04.2023 — First chapter and vocabulary quiz due on Monday, so I’ll be cooped up in my room, watching lectures, reading, and studying, this entire weekend. I have to record an introduction video tomorrow for a discussion, so that’ll be… fun. During winter break, I bought a big ring light tripod thing, so maybe I’ll get fancy with it. We’ll see.

april 2nd, 2024.

today was supposed to be way more productive than it actually was, but from the get go I realized I had gotten up on the wrong side of the bed - i was so stressed out and irritated at anything and everything. still tried though: i did the dishes, cleaned up the house and got a bit of citations logged from Secchi’s Public Policies book. not enough productivity, not by far, but something is still better than nothing!

🎧 listening to: careful - paramore

📖 reading: Politicas Públicas (Secchi, Coelho & Pires)

💭 feeling: anxious & stressed out

I never posted about this but the company I worked for the past almost two years pulled the plug (it was a seven year old startup) and so everyone was laid off 2 weeks ago. I am very lucky that they provided a good severance packet and I am in a good financial place to be unemployed for a while if that ends up happening, but man... I loved that company. Not so much the job itself, I'd happily never be an office manager again but the people there were some freaking special people. I met my best friend there (she left the company last year, but that's where we met), it was the most supportive and caring environment I think I have ever been in... and to know that is gone is just very sad.

I got placed at that job through a recruiter a few years ago, so I reached back out to him and he connected me with a potential job that I just had my first interview with today. It is a contract job (May-the end of August) which isn't ideal at all.. but it's a cool sounding company, it is in the realm of social justice/social sciences (versus last job was a tech job) and my dream job would involve research and writing which this company could be a segue into. While it is a contract role the recruiter I spoke to today said there is possibilities of it this role leading to a full time role potentially but it's not guaranteed.

Alsooo, tech pays a lot. Even for HR/people ops roles.. social justice/nonprofits, not so much. And I while what I do is very important to me, so is pay. And so I'm a bit worried the pay won't align with my hopes. But that's a bit far off. Just did the first interview today, and got the word from the recruiter I am working through that I did great and am going to the next round. There will be 3 phone interviews (first one done) and then a final in person interview.

Oh how I did not miss job hunting/interviewing etc lol

But glad to at least be getting interviews at the moment!

back from a week away from the lab for family reasons, not really feeling up to rigorous work…last week made me really want to quit my job and find something closer to home and focus on family but i need to remind myself that that feeling is temporary and heavily influenced by my current circumstances. i need to remember to make time for myself too :(

anyways i went to lab to take care of some managerial stuff this morning but i finished basically all of it within an hour so i walked down the street to get a nice coffee and enjoy the ~coffee shop vibes~

the regulations set out by the graduate council guarantee all full-time graduate students at McMaster a minimum of just $13,500 per year (the current "floor") above whatever their rate of tuition is.

"It's time to raise the floor; full-time graduate students deserve better," the students wrote in the letter.

The graduate students pointed to Statistics Canada data, which highlights that the low-income cut-off for single-person households in a city the size of Hamilton in 2019 was $21,899.

Taking active steps to get over people pleasing is so difficult and the craziest part is everytime you take a small step towards being yourself and not trying to please someone, it feels like you are doing something wrong. Changing your thought pattern, feeling safe in making decisions that make YOU happy are surprisingly not easy. At the end, all of this hardwork also has no reward if you don't prioritize your inner happiness. Over the last couple months I've lost a lot of friendships. Two friends who I was especially very close to and cared about a lot despite knowing that they a) took me for granted or b) kept expecting so much from me that nothing was ever enough. When I chose to consciously step away from these friendships rather than reflecting on what they might have done wrong I was blamed for not speaking up about my discomforts sooner. When things are coming to an end and extreme decisions are being made, people will question you why you haven't taken the preventative measures earlier, why did you not confront, is it really worth to lose a friendship, aren't you being too harsh, where is this coming from, nothing really happened so why now suddenly? And all I can say is that it took me a while to realize that my mere feelings of discontent are enough to step away from people and it doesn't have to make sense to anyone else as long as it makes sense to me. Time is precious but so is my energy. After realizing that life isn't supposed to be so hard and friendships don't have to be so demanding and just being yourself is enough, you will realize how much low quality shit you are putting up with because you called yourself "dramatic" instead of honoring your emotions. Society tells us to adapt and be positive, stop dwelling on the negative so much. But the real truth is, negativity is as important as positivity. I'm grateful for these people that have come into my life and showed me that my self-worth was so low that I couldn't step away from people that didn't support me. So now I've decided to start over, build trust with myself, stopped dismissing my emotions and start creating those boundaries. At the end of the day, YOU are the prize and the value of it will remain high when you start valuing yourself and keep those around that also value you. No one outside of yourself will determine who you are except for your behaviors. So what & who are you willing to put up with?

I'm starting a one-year post grad writing problem.

Met my writing mentor at orientation yesterday and she told our cohort that we're going to have to work everyday for the next year to hit our goals and it's going to be intense and personalized and that this is a program that focuses on doing the work and making progress and I think I love her already. She's exactly what I need.

I'm sure there's going to be a lot of crying and anxiety but I'm weirdly looking forward to it.
