  1. Recovered very well from oversleeping.
  2. Did my best at school.
  3. Told my mentor about my behind in homework. (Can someone tell me how to word that correctly?)
  4. Kept my cool when I thought my mentor implied that my mental issues are an illegitimate reason in front of my class(not with the intention to shame me). After the class I talked to her and she told me that was her attempt at motivating me.
  5. Made a good deal that can make me up to €50. Found a used beautiful lego set for way underneath the average asking price for that set. If this works out the way I want it to, I can repeat this process and I could have a very lucrative side-gig.
  6. Listened to advice.
  7. Didn’t crave alone.
  8. Opened up to someone about my issues.
  9. Actively socialized during my first break.
  10. Did not really criticise myself today I think.
