New job: Self-entertainer

At this critical time when most of us can't go to work, I've come to realize that self-entertaining is a full-time job and that I do not pay myself enough.

Since I became evidently aware that I wouldn't be going anywhere or getting anywhere in life with this then epidemic now pandemic going on, I have

🤟learned python (acquired certificates from IBM via coursera),

👌read a few books,

🖖tried and failed to publish an article on coronavirus,

👊took on various writing assignments (a sad part-time job that I still do because even though I'm currently living at my parents house, I still need to pay rent for my own apartment),

✌️explored every possible corner of my district to search for coffee shops that I can now mentally map out,

🖐and went hiking by the sulphur creeks.

I constantly feel unproductive and drained of motivation, but damn look at that list, I need to give myself a pat on the back. You're okay Shisha, you're okay.

I might not be studying, I might not be taking on night shifts, I might not be scrubbing in on surgeries, and don't remind me of the dissertation for my masters degree that I haven't started on, but I am working full time to keep myself happy and sane.
