w11: sunday review

delete Reddit account and block the domain;
check the contents of the go bags;
some admin for another person that was useful to them and took HOURS but uninteresting to you;
attend second course tutorial (see 'things I did not enjoy');
cut my hair;
ordered prints of a fraction of the photos I exported from my IG.

being woken by sunlight most days;
queueing up a bunch of essay-style youtube videos from people with calm voices talking about things that aren't my problem (fast fashion, trends and style, fandom drama);
putting my phone on greyscale again (on Android: accessibility, colour correction) and removing the quick shortcut to turn it back this time.
Readwise and Reader, especially when the helpdesk applied the 50% student discount to my account;
my haircut, honestly;
seeing the full moon;
getting the decent camera out because I wanted to upload a photo and the decent camera is blessedly free of location data;
library book Cahokia Jazz - reminded me strongly of The Gone-Away World, but I haven't unpicked that;
pulling text posts and duplicates out of my old tumblr, identifying its essence;
the first half of my sunny walk on Saturday.

'tutorial' - she read the slides to us. The slides were on screen. The slides (.ppt) had already been sent to us, and I had already recognised the content as pasted directly from the course books. Also, this is the third time I've asked a question and instead of answering she tells me that that isn't on the assignment. I will not be 'attending' (opening the link) for the other five tutorials.
the second half of my walk on Saturday. I need new insoles in my boots. No actual injury, but not as peaceful as the first half.
being back on Duolingo, honestly. It was worth a shot, but it's still not for me. Too peppy? Too 'lol we're so random'? Instead I have added the Slow German news podcast into my rotation, where it can startle me awake after I've fallen asleep to In Our Time.
