Day 2) Book Club and Gym Class

Today I woke up and went back asleep and woke up and went back asleep. I felt OK actually. I made breakfast and watched an episode of the Mindy Project. Just started it. Then I went to the MSB to meet with two guys running to be next year's Undergrad Society Executive. It was a mistake. I thought I was meeting with the current Executive. Not a huge waste of time - we did discuss a 50% money back for the students I represent. Not super productive either though - since that only works if they are elected.

Afterwards I met my friend Ali for a coffee at an art gallery coffee place. We caught up until his friend Sanjay - who has become my friend - joined us an hour later. He's super cute, soft-spoken and sweet. It was our first book club meeting! We discussed the Great Gatsby for around 2 hours. We had such a fruitful and thought-provoking discussion. I got super super excited at points. It was really great, and I left feeling satisfied and grateful. We picked Room for our next book club book.

I got home. Heated up lunch/dinner. Watched another episode. Felt OK.

I was supposed to meet a Bumble guy in an hour, but I cancelled. It was a date I had previously agreed to. I would only be going if I could make it a non-date, like just a coffee to meet a new person, but truthfully I don't even want to go.

For the rest of the night, I'm planning on going to Ali and Sanjay's gym class at 8 pm, studying and maybe watching some more TV/reading some more of the new book.

Overall, I feel hopeful that I'm working towards some form of empowerment.
