Is the New Year off to a good start?
It was at first. I got a bunch of stuff done that I've been meaning to do but have merely been postponing for about half a year or so. For one thing, I managed to successfully dual-boot my computer, I started working on my website project (for fun), wrote a research plan for my master's thesis, finished a book (mere 170 pages long, but still), I'm still holding on to my promise of doing an alcohol-free January, and generally speaking I've held my good mood/ positive attitude for about two weeks now. In addition to all of these, I have had troubles with establising a stable sleeping pattern for months now, but the last week went pretty smoothly, which brings me to the downsides...

First of all, I trashed the spree which I held in having a stable sleeping pattern, so I'm now back to square one with that. Secondly, I'm back to the old cycle of "bad thoughts" and negative attitude, because a) some nigger stole my rusty, age-old (made in the 50's) bicycle (just today wandered around the city for three hours trying to find it and another two hours scrolling through online stores to see if it were there for sale) and b) my thesis writing instructor is proving to be a handful one to deal with, so I'm mentally exhausted every time I have to sit in the seminars with him. And to top it all off, I have financial issues to deal with, so I probably have to ask for extra hours at work...

And it was all going so well... :<
