I quit my job!! It wasn’t a terrible job for any one reason but there were numerous reasons why I didn’t want to stay there forever. I don’t really know what I’m gonna do moving forward but worse case scenario I just end up working in fast food again for a while. If it’s possible I wanna go freelance though, I’d rather work my ass off on my own time than work my ass off for someone else.
I have a small chunk of savings so I think I’ll go on a trip sometime soon. (I still have 2 weeks left until I actually leave my job.) Just for a few days or maybe a week. I need rest and a change of scenery. I want to actually do more stuff in my free time, not just watch TV or waste time on the Internet. I have become stagnant again.
Taking a couple weeks off will also give me some time to study. I’m studying a couple things rn but the big thing is Spanish. I kinda fell into a rut of doing the minimum these last few weeks or months so I’m not progressing super quickly. I’m thinking of taking a couple weeks and just trying to immerse myself in it as much as possible, and maybe that’ll help me get over this bump in the road.
I have been reading Milagro en los Andes by Nando Parrado, it’s an autobiography written by one of the guys who survived that plane crash in the Andes in the 70s. I believe this will be my first (adult, non-learner) book I’ve finished that was originally written in Spanish. I’ve also read the first Harry Potter (pirated, ofc). That was last fall I think and it was about as difficult then as Milagros en los Andes is now. There are A LOT of words that I don’t know but I can generally follow it pretty well without spending too much time looking stuff up. So I guess I am making progress, it just doesn’t feel like it.
