my dad just lent me his copy of All Quiet On The Western Front- can’t wait to be absolutely devastated by the book
"What could he do, should've been a father but he never made it to his twenties. What a waste, army dreamers. Ooh, what a waste of army dreamers" I've recently been watching some war films for research purposes for a short film project I'm hoping to complete by the end of the year, of course, All Quiet on the Western Front is my favorite movie, I've seen the 1930s one before but never gotten around to the 2022 one.It's possibly one of my favorite films ever and I've never sobbed as much, I've brought the book as well and will be reading it over the week. Volker Bertelmann will pay for my therapy bills because this movie's score is hauntingly beautiful and fills me with such grief. If you haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend it <3

I had a few things planned but got assassinated by cramps while doing the dishes in the morning. So I took it easy instead, ran some errands, ate some things, played Sims.
I also watched All Quiet on the Western Front and I have a lot of thoughts and feelings about this movie. I think I'll make a post talking about my feelings towards the movie as well as the book at some point next week.
Positive Things I did today:
ran errands

Hours slept: ~6hrs 40mins Screentime: ~2hrs 40mins Steps taken: ~16.700
I just finished reading All Quiet on the Western Front and I have so many thoughts and feelings, I don't know where to put them, what to do with them, how to deal with them.

10% done with the challange!
I finally got to analyzing the poem I wanna write my essay on. I had a blast! I love writing essays and enjoy pretty much every step of the process, but working with primary texts still is my favourite. It reminds me why I decided to study English literature.
I also continued reading All Quiet on the Western Front. I really love this book and should manage to finish it by the end of the week. Maybe I'll check out some of Remarque's other books!
Positive things I did today:
kept the duolingo Spanish streak going
studied at the library
went for a walk
read outside
went to a café to relax after studying
Hours slept: ~9hrs 3mins Screentime: 3hrs 30mins Steps taken: ~6.600

This has turned from a getting my life together challenge into a 'How can I fuel my Cillian Murphy obsession most efficiently?' challenge. Needless to say, I continued watching Peaky Blinders with my friend (daily Tommy Time, as we like to call it). But that's okay, because this Tuesday was rest day and now I am rested and shall try to get back into the groove.
I also recently found out about the Magical Readathon hosted by Book Roast over on YouTube. I doubt I'll actualy finish it, but I'll at least try to make use of the reading motivation I got from it. So far I've read the first 60 or so pages if Im Westen nichts neues (All Quiet on the Western Front in English). I really like it so far. It's sad (obviously) but I like that in books. And once I've finished it I can also finally watch the movie.
