Today is a day of kindness. I got called "sweetheart" twice today by two different people. I also got some assistance from the county in helping me look for affordable transportation through carpooling or vanpooling.

The level of customer service in America is ok but it is not up to par with what we are conditioned to feel like we need in our overly fast paced society

I've been taking food stamps to pay for food because I want to focus on self education for a career switch and because I'm afraid of my mother threatening me for eating more at home. I am going to endure emotional abuse for being caught eating to try to lose weight and time

I wonder if being fat as a female means being dehumanized in a way that is comparable to being a brown person. Especially since misogynoir factors a lot into fatphobia even if I am mostly white and definitely pass as 100% white.

I've decided to save money for the Harvard Extension Masters in Sustainability. I won't apply though until I achieve higher practical research skills by learning more math and programming.

I need to start adjusting to working about a 60 hour week which is what I should be doing to enjoy having more structure and to enjoy productivity when I don't have the excuse of being a mom for working less.

It is really unnecessary to pursue a PhD to live the most vibrantly intellectual and purposeful life that you can when the professor job market is so unstable. After researching pros and cons of getting a PhD and how impractical it is from a career standpoint, it seems crazy.

I was thinking that Trump's suggestion that Veteran's Day be renamed to just commemorate how we won WWI just doesn't seem as patriotic and also seems like historical revisionism.

I finally started working on improving math skills yesterday on Khan Academy and it was fun. Khan Academy

After looking at the research regarding how more than 35 hours of free time is unnecessary for optimum joy weekly I think I should never fully retire.

I've decided to start building qualifications for being a solid candidate to Yale or Princeton since those universities offer the only two fully funded masters degrees for my advancement in the country for everyone admitted with financial need.

I'm really intrigued by the Columbia University
program encouraging social entrepreneurship of sustainable development NGOs but I'm concerned that might not be a practical path since there's limited funding available for that field.

Feeling less overwhelmed by math requirements for a career change now that I see higher levels of college math are unnecessary for entry level work and that I at least have elementary school level math down.

I was watching an EdX lecture discuss how the US lags behind other high income countries in socioeconomic mobility. But I was pleasantly surprised to see that the US offers enough opportunity to count as another high income country by not lagging more.
