stop overeating when I am with my family, stop overeating fullstop! (read all 10 entries…)
Untitled 13 hours ago

Well, generally I have been eating too much in the last couple of months. Luckily, I haven’t gained a lot of weight and I am still more on my “good-light-weight-side” than on the other (I should give myself credit for that). So, no biggy…well, not exactly…I have been an emotional eater and that is not good.
So, this basically means that on some way or another I haven’t been doing my job in taking care of myself. I shouldn’t let this be my only way to comfort myself and I definitely should find a way to live with my insecurities and problems without trying to fix them or being frustrated. Just beeing ok with them for the moment.

further inquiries... 4 days ago

Through using an informant I have found out that my paper is being read by my advisor and that she, so far, thinks it is ok!

For all of the people who are confused about this entry, here are some explanations: I sent my advisor my hopefully soon to be finished paper. She can be pretty moody which means that her grading basically depends on her being in right mood. So, since I haven’t heard anything from her since approximately 4 weeks, I started to wonder if she didn’t get it. Instead of inquiring directly I chose to ask one of my former colleagues and advisors, who is through work in constant contact with her. This way she won’t feel like I am trying to stress her and I can go back to sitting, waiting, wishing….

an update 6 days ago

For anyone who has been following me, here is the update: Unfortunately, it is not a happy one. The guy actually did write me back and his answer was very nice and positive. He said that he had thought that I wasn’t interested in getting to know him better and that he thought that before, I just wrote him to be polite. He also invited me to be his friend on this internet platform (...it’s like facebook).
I was so happy and I answered him again that night. Since I had to get up really early the next morning, my message was short but very nice. I wrote him that I was relieved and that it was partly my fault that he had misunderstood me before because my communication is not always very direct. I didn’t write him any special questions or something like that but I expected him to continue the conversation further…. but he didn’t :(.
That was a week ago. I don’t get it. His message sounded so like “let’s do it, let’s get to know each other”. Who would first write like that and then act like this???
...oh well, at least I tried…
