I want to put more focus on my extracurricular activities, and try and get my mysterious illness sorted out. Been having really severe but irregular abdominal pain since I was young, but previous doctors haven't diagnosed me even though I was sent to the hospital. Going to register with a new doc and see what's really up.

Well I went to the doc and had two blood tests and another ultrasound scan, but they still weren't sure what's up. I had high levels of bilirubin which the doc said could be due to Gilbert's syndrome, but my symptoms are very indicative of gallstones. They didn't find any traces for the time being, but I have to go to the hospital next time I get any pains. Apparently I am underweight also. As for my extracurricular activities, I have a few things going on but haven't really changed much. What about you?

[scottish]

Lets see...

- Be a lot more social (meet new people, generally actually have a social life for the first time since I was 11)
idk how I'm doing on this one I speak to more people and have groups for certain stuff but still nowhere near as social as I want to be, I want to be in a situation where I'm out every day (whether it's fitness, sports, etc) but who knows if I'll ever be in that position... definitely a lot harder to make friends when you're older and broke communication with all school friends and don't work in a big organisation
- Do Tough Mudder (hopefully with cerys gina and tom)
don't speak to any of them anymore so I'll probably do it next year with other friends along with other racing events
- Be more serious about fitness (already joined a fitness thing by ex military, might join some running events too, and eventually join gym with a personal trainer for strength training but need to get into a routine of the first 2 first)
still waiting to start running, still need to wait on someone finishing College first then it'll be a summer of 5k's (hopefully....), but this ones kinda been stalled all this year lego_nervous
- Have a better diet (actually eat varied food instead of chicken every single night lmfao)
it started off well... then it was easier to eat chicken all the time so I've been eating chicken all the time although the past month or so I've been eating ice cream every night too... not great lego_facepalm eat your feelings!1!1!1!
- Swim
yeah this isn't happening any time soon, when I've done the above I'll look into it again.

I also want to go on Holiday at some point, but I need to find someone to go on Holiday with first.
Maybe next year...

I feel that. Making actual true friends who you're going to hang out with just doesn't seem as simple once you finish school/college/uni. I work for a fairly large organisation, but like 95% of the people there are older than me.

not resolutions as such but:
exercise more
learn a language to a reasonable degree
dont get fired
make more money
do more new things (should probably set some kind of target)
visit 3 new countries (preferably more but 3 seems doable)

Exercise tanked but should pick up in the next week
slowly learning a language
didn't get fired, but did quit and I'm sure I wasn't far off
Got a pay increase and lesser travel costs so more money
Haven't really done anything new I guess
1 country down, hopefully arrange something for later in the year even if its just me hopefully italy

Kind of need a resolution to keep in contact with people as I really suck
I dint know if its just me but I can go weeks without speaking yo someone but it does not feel that long
strange the direction my life seems to have taken in the past year or so not really what I expected or hoped I guess but I guess only I can change where it goes from here

what did you do to nearly get fired ;l

what did you do to nearly get fired ;l

I worked for a v small marketing company which did a small bit of software on the side. Long story short a restructure of sorts meant development work was really cut and it was getting to the point of either me doing marketing work, which I did not want to do, or I assume they would let me go. I wasn't really given this dilemma as they knew I didn't want to do marketing work but they wanted me there but I mostly left because I was so **** bored and I just didn't get much free time. With my new job I can do a solid hour in the gym at least whereas before I was lucky to get half that unless I wanted to miss trains and buses plus fewer impromptu trips to asda buying food I didn't need because it was Cheap

Definitely not something I'd do again but it was an experience. I'm looking forward to more free time in this new job which hopefully means I can get a bit of a life going again, particularly as some uni pals are moving to my area for work

Bit of a rant but I really needed to vent some frustration

Things look like they're going well for you along the lines of what you said a while back shit was that last year

[-:Undertaker:-]

I'm good, I am currently applying for teaching positions in Spain now so should be over there for late summer/autumn!

Also, my informal resolution was to be more selfish - in work and with everything, I usually always give way over non-really important stuff even if it disadvantages me... but I realised nobody gives away for me, ever. So a few times now with friends/work I have been more selfish (as they would have) and got the best for me. From tip sharing to who gets the double bed when away with friends.

And long term goal to see most of the world, 3 countries down this year so far. Not bad! 2018 has been excellent so far x

2016, 2017, 2018 have been the beez kneez.
