bookworm16's shout trail with elysium - Help.com

Hi bookworm,

I haven’t spoken to you in a while and I just wanted to ask how you are? I’ve seen your most recent post. Have things changed at all over the past few weeks? How are you feeling now?

I was thinking that as well :D

I’m feeling well, thanks. I need to start preparing for my final year and it’s rather overwhelming on the size of the project that I’ve got to complete. I should be fine though.

How is college/school going for you at the moment?

Hi, feels like I haven’t spoken to you in ages!
How am I? I guess eventually I’ll be ok. How are you?

Hi bookworm,

I just wanted to say hey and ask how you are. How have things been for you over the past few weeks?

I like games consoles, but I don’t have much time to go on the ones I have anymore so there’s no point me buying any new ones.

Yeah, that sounds like a good idea :)

They aren’t that bad. I aren’t really a big fan of games consoles; lost interest in them several years ago. However, I quite like the games that are available.

I’m hoping to organise something. I know it’s my friends birthday during February, so I want to see if I can get something sorted.

Haha, my sister got a Nintendo DS. She’s angry now though because all the games she has are rubbish. My dad and I are the only ones in the house that don’t have a DS.

That’s sad … maybe you should try and organise something with them and catch up?

I got a Nintendo DS. I’ve been wanting one for quite a while and it’s rather good. The only problem is trying to find the time to play on it.

Last year for Christmas, I went out with a few friends for a night and it was really good. Unfortunately most have followed different roads (career wise) so we don’t really keep in touch as much.

I went out with friends a couple of times and got nice presents :) Did you get anything nice?

It has helped me understand my job better. Instead of always asking for help, I just try to figure it out for myself.

I think you may be right about him trusting me. Some of the task he has given me are somewhat important, so I must be doing something right.

Did you do anything special over Christmas or get anything nice?

Good that it wasn’t anything too serious :)

Maybe your supervisor is just seeing how good you are. Or maybe he thinks you’re good enough that he can trust you enough to use your won initative. I guess that giving you scope to do your own thing is a way of showing that he trusts your judgement and opinion.

Oh no it isn’t anything too serious; I’ve got the serious job out of the way with. I was having major problems with it and ending up having to take it apart. It’s all fixed now. Just a load of little things that need to be done now.

Work is pretty well at the moment apart from my supervisor who is being really vague when assigning me jobs. Therefore, I have try and use a bit of initiative to figure out what I need to do.

Ah, ok, hope it wasn’t anything too serious.

Bummer about your Uncle, but glad Christmas was ok for you anyway. Yeah, New Years would have felt like that too if I hadn’t been invited to a party.

School’s going well thanks. How’s your work going?

I’ve been ok; I’ve just had a lot of little things going on the past few weeks.

I’m glad you enjoyed the holidays. For me, Christmas was pretty good apart from the fact that my Uncle couldn’t visit because he wasn’t feeling too good. I didn’t particularly enjoy New Years. There was no spark and I just wanted to get it over and done with.

Everything is going well at the moment though. How is college going?

Ok at the moment? Have you not been ok?

Relaxing is good!

I’m kind of ok thanks.

I had a really nice Christmas and New Year thanks. How about you?

Hi bookworm,

I’m ok at the moment. Had a busy day so I’m just relaxing for the night. How are you and did you have a nice Christmas and New Year?

Hi, how are you? xx

Thanks ely :)

You have a good christmas and new year too :)

I don’t know.

…and why are you stopping yourself from reaching your goals?

I am the only one stopping me.

But you are comparing yourself to others and aren’t even trying to get better. You need to think about what you want and try to reach them goals. What is stopping you from reaching them goals or even trying to reach them?

There must be people in the world that have a talent that nobody else has. If I don’t compare myself to others I’ll never get better.

Ask yourself this question. Do you really think there is anyone in the world with a talent that nobody else has? I know it’s hard to break out of the habit, but you shouldn’t compare yourself to others.

Forget about how good others are and start looking at how good you really are.

I’m not saying that I don’t have any talents, I do, just that there are others with the same talents too.

Well, for one I would care if you weren’t here any more and I’m sure many other people on this site think the same.

You need to get rid of this negative attitude. If you really think that you haven’t got any talents, then maybe trying learning a skill or something that you think that you may enjoy.

I’m not talented. The things that I can do, there are people who can do it exactly as I do and some that can do it better. No one would care if I wasn’t here anymore. I’d just be replaced.

I think that about myself sometimes. You’ll be surprised on how talented you are when you start looking at other people. I’m not just saying that to make you feel better; it’s the truth.

Because I am. Everything I have done, am doing and will do could easily have been done my someone else. I’m not special, I just happened to be there at the time.

But you’re not worthless. Why would you think that?

Just feel completely and utterly … worthless? Probably the word I’m looking for. Can’t even be bothered to think right now.

That’s not good. What’s wrong?

Worse than awful. Woop de woop

Hey bookworm, I’m ok at the moment. How are you?

Hey, are you ok?

Lol, that’s a really good idea! :D

It’s hard getting out of bed when it’s cold at any time of the day :D. I used to always put my alarm clock in a position so that I had to get out of bed to turn it off. That gave me the get up and go (kinda).

Yeah, work starts at 8am on Saturday, and it is hell to get up that early, especially in the autumn/winter when it’s dark and cold!

I think the earliest shift that I ever had to do on Saturdays used to be 7AM. I hated it because I usually wake up between 7:00 and 7:15. I lost count on the number of times I arrived late for work. Lucky for me, I was good worker so my manager wasn’t that bothered.

Yeah, I work early Saturday morning so I can’t have a long sleep Friday night :(

For me it’s usually Friday night. However when I used to work part time (which was at evenings and weekends), I’d be lucky to get even that.

Yeah, my one good nights sleep is always Saturday night. It’s the only night I can ever get a decent sleep!

There are never enough hours in the day. I always try to make sure I have at least 1 good nights sleep a week. That usually keeps me energised for the week.

A good nights sleep is great … but not when you have homework to do.

That is bad. Lucky for me, birthdays don’t start until late January, so I’ve got some time.

I always find a good nights sleep helps cure a headache. However, I usually get headaches from caffeine deficiency, so I cure it by drinking coffee. I’m pretty sure it isn’t good for me. :D

I know! I always have loads of people to buy for and I struggle to come up with anything inventive. And I have 3 birthdays a week before to buy for too!

Yeah, I’ve taken something, just isn’t flipping working.

I’ve been struggling to decide what to get for people. I order some presents online, so I need to start now so they are delivered on time.

I always hate having headaches; they always seem to slow me down. Have you taken anything for it?

I haven’t even started my Christmas shopping. Thinking I should probably start!

I have a thumping headache and feel worse than normal, but apart from that I’m fine.

Stressed!!! A combination of family problems and Christmas shopping. However, I’m trying to keep a cool head on; emphasis on the word, trying. :D

How are you? :)
