Hey there, everybody,
How’s it going? It’s Xmas soon, which means… already… almost half of the semester (étape 2) is over, and I’ve been stressing myself out trying to finish my corrections. Here’s today’s journal entry:

Monday, October 30th, 2023

Hey there everybody,
I trust everybody is doing well! Ever since the school year started, I’ve been meaning to get SOME positivy journal entries going, but I somehow never got the time to? And now that I’m very close to the end of the first semester – when I have tons of things to do, here I am, sitting down and trying to write something.

Today, even though I didn’t feel like going to work, I did it. I also received a message from one of my hoodlums from regular classes last year that made my day.
