honestly, not too great. I'm on a four-week internship at a practise I don't like the vibe of on a personal level. talking to the owner of the practise about being overworked or struggling with the workload from a knowledge-standpoint only led to asking for "medical reasons" for why I'd need to have a lighter workload. ff to this week, I called in sick yesterday after leaving earlier on Tuesday and not coming in tomorrow. part because I actually feel sick, part because I just don't want be here. this is the fifth and last internship throughout my apprenticeship and I've never felt this way before about any of them.

only one more week left, fortunately, and I can't wait to get this over with. two weeks of break after until it's back to school and another kind of stress kicks in for the finals

Somehow got sick again this week. Suspected to be stress-related and I think I know the cause... Earlier this week ex-coworker came back in town, & spilled some beans on some beef between a few ex-colleagues and bossman had a while back (which led to half of the team quitting a month or two ago). It doesn't directly affect me but definitely made me a bit uneasy. This was followed by a hectic day with a bunch of meetings so... not fun

But hey I got better at the video game I play, had a tour on the weekend at a UNESCO heritage site in the city, & had a massive pizza at an Italian-coworker-approved restaurant the other day. So life is good :D

Solved an sneaky issue with a database but used up most of my mental energy for a few days doing so.

Looking forward to some boardgames and the Hail Mary Project movie this weekend.
