Zen Crib Notes

Late 2018 facts:
- Got the giant letter from my school that I passed my course and will graduate on January 22, 2019
- Got told the harsh news from a bigwig publishing recruitment and hiring consultant that the UK actively denies visas for people outside of the EU applying for Entry-, Mid-, and Senior level positions in the UK, and that if I wanted to work here, I should just work in a US company and transfer. 
- MICE. IN THE HOUSE. ACTIVELY RUNNING IN MY ROOM AND WARDROBE.
- The tasks I’m doing in the internship I’m in keeps getting vaguer and vaguer. Feeling a little bit like I’m out of the loop on some things, but know how to catch up. 
- Saw “Spider-man: Into the Spider-Verse” and it is really. The best movie I’ve ever seen in recent memory, animated and otherwise, in 2019. It is fulfilling in many ways that just complements other films in that year, from Black Panther to The Last Jedi and so on. 
- Been reading a lot more; going through my To-Read pile of free books and ARCs I accumulated from Book Expo and London Book Fair. Also books I’ve bought. Milkman by Anna Burns is phenomenal and very worthy of its Man Booker Prize. Crazy Rich Asians was the funniest book I’ve read in 2018. Also read the “Check, Please!” Graphic novel from Book Expo, and loved it, and so happy the author got signed. 
- Leveled up my housekeeping and cooking skills a bit, so been feeling a little more adult in that regard.
- Started bullet journaling. 

Things for me to do in 2019: 
- Learn how to be a freelance proofreader and editor so I can make the money that I won’t be making under a Tier 5 internship visa scheme I signed onto for London, thinking foolishly at the time that if I stayed on longer, I will eventually get someone to sponsor me.
- Get a blog?? 
- Bullet Journaling to the max? 
- Get a good instagram and twitter presence. 
- JOB????
