Thank you June

End of another month
This is getting scary
Being let go by my SV for a month and had been procrastinating for the past two weeks
Havent been progressing much since then
Bad, really bad

But otherwise things are moving pretty well I guess

Finally settled down with the job
And feeling more comfortable working in a fast food place
I am still moving slow but at least I can move smoothly over the counter
I'd count that as an achievement for a sloth like me
I can't tell how lucky I am to get a job that actually pays minimum wage with casual loading
Love the opportunity to widen my social circle and get to know more people too
Though I haven't really mingle with my colleagues or build up relationship with customers
But at least the circle is there
And now I am not too worried about money in the near future

Another good thing is
I had been reading extensively recently
Finishing 2-3 books in a week
I really love a place with a good library
UQ don't have the best library and it is hard for me to get books for my bookclub but it is good enough
Finally read my Michael Sanders, knowing David Foster Wallace is most definitely not my read, and being creep out by Alicia Walkers's savage but believable sad stories.
And I had been going back to Coursera and EdX too
Even though I'm scrolling instagram most of the time
But I did really learn something from the courses
This is indeed my renaissance like I finally have time to read freely and widely
I am really happy about this

Lately had been working on an Instagram project
Too late to catch the insta money generating tide
10k followers seem very unattainable for me (according to online source that's the amount needed for sponsored post)
But maybe I just like to share with people my idea and my creations
Spent quite a lot of time giving likes (the only thing I can do for free and definitely not buying followers) to build up the profile
It is a bad thing cause now I have one more addiction and a really bad time consuming habit
But I am pretty happy to see the growing trend of my humble account lol

I think I like this city now
With all the festivals every weekend and meetups and book club and the friendly people
Mostly the interesting events and just how welcoming the people are
Everyone is just so nice!
Of course nothing can cure my social awkwardness---I am a socially awkward penguin
But I feel comfortable walking into a meetup I know no one over here
Really comfortable. Maybe even more comfortable than going with my acquaintance lol
I sort of like the newbie from exotic country kinda attention
The uninvited curious intruder lol

So after all these sparkling moments
It is time for July
Mummy's birthday
Little brother is coming
I need to get going, read more, write more and work more
I miss busy uni life and maybe I am just trying to extend it over here lol

Thank you June, you had been kind and wonderful
