 Hey guys, I'm still trying to stick to the challenge but I really think its pointless for me. But maybe it can help other people, so I'll continue to report. Day 5 : Don't complain the whole day This was the most difficult for me. You've probably noticed I can be quite negative. I didn't manage to excel at this but compared to other days I think I did okay. I started complaining in the evening so I count that as a win. Day 6 : Create a space for relaxation My bedroom. But I've already decorated it the way I want (minimalistic) and other than placing a candle on the night stand I didn't really see what else I could do. Day 7 : Turn off all notifications I couldn't really do that because I use Viber for work but I didn't check every little thing. Day 8 : Clear out your make-up collection and/or your skincare collection I got rid of 2 lipsticks. I honestly don't have much. My skincare is growing rapidly as I have a monthly subscription to Kibrit bu...

 Hey guys, I haven't forgotten to update you on the challenge, however, I've decided that it's better if I combine several days in one post as there isn't anything thaat interesting to report. Day 2: Sort out the sock drawer I've got lots of socks. I mean a lot a lot. But! But! I keep my winter and summer socks in the same place, so in a way, it's normal for my drawer to be overflowing. On top of that my aunt-in-law (can I say that if I'm not married?) loves giving socks as presents, and she is the reason why I've got so many. I haven't bought myself a pair in... maybe never? Or once or twice in my life (before that my mom did that for me). So, I really can't throw away much as they're like new. I got rid of two pairs. I call that a win. Day 3: Gift/donate 3 books Not happening.  In our apartment, I've got one-fourth of all of my books and the others are at my parents' place. I've taken my favorite so I don't feel like gifting...

 

 Hello everyone, this is going to be a short one. I need to vent a little, so you can skip this. Since the first lockdown I've been teaching online - give or take a year. At first I was too nervous about how it would go, as I had only first, second and third graders. And, as expected it was a nightmare. Constant giggling, pets screeching, crying siblings, screaming parents (LISTEN. MISS SAID YOUR NAME!!! WHY ARE YOU NOT SPEAKING???), children  muting and unmuting each other, me barely holding it together (but what? Tears, laughter? I'm still not sure). I've seen more parents in their underwear than I care to admit.  Visual representation: Despite this rocky start we managed to finish the year. I even started liking it. At the end of our last lesson I asked all of my students which was the funniest thing that happened during the year - one class were unanimous 'when D and V started fighting'. Yeah, it was pretty funny. But not when they announce it online for all of ...
