It looks like a very interesting course.

We will be learning about the cbt, person centred models of therapy.
 
I feel bad for my tutor. He seemed quite anxious at the picnic towards me.

Now I found out it was because I didn't do so well in my extended project and I think he was worried it would ruin my university offer. It won't I don't think.
It is okay, I am desensitized to merits now and it's not that bad. But the poor guy was worried and had some beers probably to calm the nerves.
I wrote him a long nice message in his card. He is a great tutor and really made the lessons fun. I wish him the best.
 
I'm getting the hang of going to the gym regularly.

I've built up more strength making dancing easier.
 
Harmony is driving me nuts today. Not nearly as cute with all her hair cut off now. Harder for her to get away with being annoying now. Shes soooo bossy. Typical youngest!

I hope I haven't overfed them because they ended up with a lot of treats, on top of all the roo and bunny poo they ate on walkies! Plus an early dinner with a worming tablet tonight. I wasn't planning to feed them until 7, but harmony was bugging me about it, big time.

Its definitely school holidays here. There was a kid standing on the BBQ at the park, burning rubbish and wood chips on the hotplate. Couldnt have been older than 5. Tiny kid, no one else to be seen anywhere. Yelled out "F*** off white dog c*** " maybe he was talking to Harmony. Who knows.

How mean
Make sure it's not "The Mystery in the Meat". That one did not go well with food!
 
Toby the dog went in for his annual checkup and since he is a 14 year old Border Collie, I had the complete panel done. We left the place $815.89 poorer and after a slightly larger bill for car repairs last month, I am sort of just treading water on finances. But in our neighbourhood, your dog is your identity. I am Toby's father to everyone around here. I have no other name. Nor do I need one.

That's why they offer dog insurance.

Thats about how much the dogs insurance costs. It doesn't cover routine things. Once the dog is over 8 years old, its considered senior and insurance costs go into the thousands. Its just not worth it after that.

It is worth it for harmonys leg surgery. I just got quoted $4500 for the surgery. Insurance covers up to $5000. Today shes been SO naughty, I am about ready to sell her! Shes on a diet in preparation for surgery, I found her ON the table eating everything she wasnt supposed to be, and then she peed on the couch. Im furious at her. I might go out this morning just because its fairer for both of us. Shes lost her privileges inside now. Back on lead until she learns some indoor manners.

Lilah is sweet as can be, being the best and most well behaved dog haha. They are just the most opposite of each other!
 
Ever since my birthday its hit me that I've never had a true friend except @Bop but shes my sister so without counting family I've never had a true friend.

Going to university should help with that. I was/am very introverted, but I had a larger friends group then than any other time in my life.

Quite lonely and bored. People keep ghosting me and I'm not sure why.

Don't let it bother you, sweetie. You just need to find people who appreciate your individualism. 🥳

As I am scrolling through the Buffy episodes looking for one to watch, I am just thinking about how grateful I am for the show and the immense impact Buffy has had on my life.

When I first started watching the show, I was too young to understand as I was 8. My first memory of understanding the lines was when I recited a Spike line that he said to Buffy to a classmate who asked if she could talk to my male friend privately. When I was 15 years old that was the moment I understood the show, I was immature for my age so I still didnt understand most of it.

The first and arguably most important concept Buffy taught me was inner strength. Especially in season 6 when she is battling mental health, she struck a cord with me. When I have bad days I used to think of her going into the double meat palace with the same look on her face as I had and it gave me the courage and strength to face the day.

Secondly, I learnt how to channel my negative energy through the Buffy characters. Seeing the action and the fights Buffy and the gang face was cathartic to me. Also the little quips during arguments inspired me to come up with my own, which empowered me to not let the negativity effect me. Buffy inspired me to follow the beat of my heart and not let others opinions get to me or control my view of myself.

Thirdly, I am more empathic to other people's problems and I have become a better listener. Buffy has taught me about the struggles that different people go through and how it effects them emotionally. How it changes them. The character of Faith has a complex background of trauma and abuse, which I relate to and so do many of my past aquaitances. I've learnt to be patient and understanding. To always offer an ear.

Upon my Sarah Michelle Gellar worship era I also found Cruel Intentions which helped me navigate my friendship with my male classmate. He is a lot like the character of Sebastian in cruel intentions and has similar traits. With this information I have learnt how to get my voice heard to him and how to understand my place with him and get into his head. I've opened up a softer side to him and learnt about myself along the way.

Buffy has inspired my love for film and literature because the show is so well written. I won't forget the lessons and the skills the show has given me. I have been enlightened to the depths of human nature and sensitivity.

Buffy has given me strength.
Willow has given me nerd power.
Giles has given me knowledge.
Xander has given me a good laugh.
Faith has given me baddie power, sultry dark lipstick and a leather jacket.
Dawn has given me childlike wonder.
Spike has given me a love for poetry and quips.
Angel has given the right to expressing emotions and sensitivity.
Joyce has given me a cup of hot chocolate with mini marshmellows.
Cordelia has given me the power of a good outfit.
Tara has given me the right to accept my introversion.

I wouldn't be who I am without these characters and this show. I am eternally grateful ❤❤❤❤

I keep getting freaked out by my hair! So my hair is roughly waist length now, and when I have it down, occasionally my top rides up a little, and I will feel my hair on my lower back, which then freaks me out as I always forget that it's just my hair!
I still get jealous of people with long pretty hair though, mine might be long but I don't see it as pretty.
