February did not march

the weather has improved and so has my mood. Luckily spring break in coming up next week so ive put in vacation days. I refuse to be in the office when the faculty are not.

ive been working on my blog design all last month. I have an unpublished archive page, uses page, and other stuff. I learned all the basics of CSS and HTML in febuary. Is that an achievement to be celebrated? I dunno. I have no reason to learn this stuff, I'm not in tech and not into tech beyond the shit we learned in computing class in 5th grade.

I need to actually start losing weight. I say that every month, and usually some event (often just my period) derails it. i could lose 20-30lbs this month if i try. I'm just so tired after work. maybe the sun will improve my energy. I had a vitamin D deficiency because of this office job.

what else?

I tried to blog everyday since i have a hard time making a habit of things. I have many abandoned projects. they(?) say that it takes 21 days to form a habit. I think i only have 18 February entries and I skipped many days. Maybe I'll try again? these will be much more about my day-to-day life rather than my thoughts. makes it easier.

I've been aggressively saving money for the past year. it will actually be my 1 year work anniversary for this current job on the 31st! I'll see how much ive saved in a year. I want to save all my paycheck this month. I've been living off $1500 for the past two months after a trip i planned in december got canceled. i received refunds for everything and decided to use that money as my main spending account for as long as possible. the savings goal is mainly for moving to Taiwan. apparently I only need like $3000 to get started if i were to be a teacher. i've saved 4x that, just in case. If i go to language school without a scholarship, I think i'd need like $6000 for three months. Then a buffer in case i end up stranded for whatever reason.

I need to mail in my language school scholarship application this month as well. very nervous.

I know I'll look back at this and see if a succeeded in anything so i'll just summarize my goals.
