What have you learned this week?

Post Reply New Topic

You can't please everyone, so you've got to please yourself.

I learned how to bake another type of bread.
I also learned that I have PTSD but I kind of already knew this.
I also learned that I want be a certified pastry chef instead of a certified chef.
I learned that being a chef can be stressful.
I learned that most people are kind and my negative view of humans is incorrect.
I learned that I feel uncomfortable when I get attention.
I learned that my ritualistic counting is probably OCD
I learned that chefs are the most interesting and understanding people.
I learned that my feet hurt after standing for 8 hours.
I learned that I have 3 exams this week and need to get off of the internet and study.
Was a pretty productive week. Don't you think?

I learned that my mom used to be a sitcom actress.

I learned:
- I have Aspergers
- that applying for Australian residency is a painfully complicated process
- that I need to contact immigration to find out IF I need to spend the next several months getting an RCMP police check of the CPIC database for my visa, or if my clean record from last year is valid for it (I got a records check in October of 2010 for college, and June 2011 for my flight to Aus but instead accidentally brought my October police check -- I found this out two days ago and bawled hysterically)
- That a friend in Alberta is more pregnant than we thought
- that my boyfriend's family had NEVER seen "Oliver and Company", which is one of my favorite childhood movies xD (right up there with Aristocats)

yeah, I've had a stressful week x_x

I learned that when I was younger, I used to avoid talking to my mom about my imagination and drawing pictures of my favorite fictional characters for fear of the police coming to get me for "copyright infringement".

So I guess I also learned that I have been paranoid from a young age.

I've learned to appreciate what I have and to pay more attention to my budget.

Multiple things actually.

1. We are all broken, 'tis part of the human condition.
2. I need to stand up for myself
3. I am tired of being ignored
4. I'm not going to worry about being social anymore
5. The current education system (as well as many other systems in society) are more broken and archaic than I initially realized.
6. Plato has some of the most convoluted philosophical theories known to man. (I'm in a philosophy class)
7. Very few things are inherently evil. (if anything)
8. My philosophy teacher scares me when he is mad.

There is more, but that's the big stuff =D

That if things get to be too much for me, all I have to do is take a little break and than come back feeling happy, again.

That "blaming the victim" is a over used phrase and apparently telling someone how to be safe or to be safe is blaming the victim, same as when you explain what may have happened that caused something to happen.

That people can still surprise me in a good as well as the bad way.
