My bag with my laptop and brand new phone got stolen last Tuesday. It's been a week and I still don't want to write about it. And I dont have my own laptop to use for writing it :(.
Anyway, I was biking home from work late in the evening when three young arab guys came and just took the whole bag from my bike basket while I was biking and then ran away with it. I got the bag back later but not the laptop or the phone.
Now I guess, need to stop dreaming about new winter boots and running pants and stop partying and all other sorts of expensive entertainment, work hard and get myself new ones.
It's sad that all my notes from the university were in the computer. I have copies of assignments and exams I've written but not of all the notes.
Poor mum, who this week has to eat what I ate last week. In psychology, there's an emotional hypothesis suggested by Herman and Polivy, who basically say that people lose motivation to focus on their eating patterns whenever something emotionally disturbing happens just because a more urgent focus arises. I have to say that I completely agree.
I've noticed, whenever something big happens to me, I completely lose interest in what I eat. First, usually, I hardly eat anything cause I just feel bad and sad and sick, and then from somepoint on I start eating and just eat and eat.
A good tip about what to do in situations like that, is to try to take emotions out of the eating situation. That can be done by plans. It's good to have ready made plans for eating and exercising. So it's not necessary to think about them much - just trust the plan and do what it says - that way you can feel however but still be in line with those other goals that at that moment might not see so important, but probably will matter again after the 'more urgent' problem has solved.
This week I have it better, though, as Im eating what mum ate last week. That feels almost like home and is definitely healthy. Hopefully my more urgent worries will also go away soon.
Another crazy thing about being a student - In July two Estonians coming to Aarhus contacted me, that they need a place to stay in Aarhus until they find their own place. So now, in my little 2-room apartment, there's four people living. Im not complaining, as all the people are fun and fine, but huuuuuh, this lack of privacy and quietness. Especially when I get a bad mood and want to be alone. Then again, I can always take a walk and thats healthier anyway. And if someone doesn't steal my things, I usually dont get bad mood or wanna be alone. I just think that living like that as a student is a great motivation to grow up :D
At least going to school is still exciting and cool and makes me happy. Im glad about that. And go to work now :).
Keep an eye on what you own and have diet and training plans ;)
