Weekly diary #100: waiting for my thesis result

Posted on August 29, 2019January 24, 2023

Hi there! Welcome back into my weekly diary, number 100! I can’t believe I’ve been doing this for one-hundred weeks! I enjoy it (and I hope you do too) and so I’m planning to continue this for a while! In this weekly diary I want to show you what an eco-positive lifestyle looks like on a daily basis. The past week I got back to the gym, mended some clothes and waited for my thesis result. Want to read along? Here’s weekly diary #100.

Thursday

Today I woke up quite early since my boyfriend left for work and that wakes me up too. I decided to go to the gym and start the day off well. This was the first time I exercised after my holiday and so it had been about three weeks. I’m quite done with the gym. I would love to do more team-sports (like handball) and be outside. But for now I don’t really have the budget to do that every day. For now, this is fine because it makes me feel energetic. After that I worked at my part-time job and after work I had one delivery for the pick-up point from Loose. Getting some package free orders out the door!

Friday

Today I had a day off from my part-time job. I laid in bed as long as I wanted and went to the gym afterwards again, that feels good! Also, I am still working out the whole meditation thing, some days I do it but I forget to meditate on most days. I just can’t get it into my habits just yet. Also, I made a good smoothie for myself again today, let’s get those vitamins in! I also went to the library to lend some books. I love to be in the library, it makes me feel so comfy (I sound like such a nerd haha!). And I mended a pair of leggings which had a whole in there. I am very proud of that haha. Repairing old clothes is so important. Instead of just buying something new (which is not sustainable at all) I mend the old things and it works just fine. I save the earth and my wallet.

Saturday

Today I worked at my part-time job the entire day. Once back home my family decided to barbecue! The weather is great and I love barbecues. Lovely vegan burgers, a good salad, bread with humous, it’s all there! A lovely dinner and then it was time for me to get to the train-station. I was going to spend the rest of my weekend with my boyfriend. And even though I own a drivers license now, I try to use public transportation as much as I can. It’s the most sustainable way to get to my boyfriend traveling alone. Once there he was also barbecuing with a friend and we had a lovely night.

Sunday

Sunday, funday! Even though I got my drivers license I still need to practice sometimes to keep up, so today I drove when we getting ice-cream in another town. The weather was lovely and the vegan ice-cream was amazing. Did you know they have vegan ice-cream in almost every ice-cream shop? That is always great. It does make me sad seeing other people eat so much dairy, but I am hoping that will change sometime soon! We decided to also go to a birthday party we were invited to and we had a really good time, it was fun!

Monday

Today I am free from my part-time job. This week I only have to work in the weekend. I did a lot of things which were on my to-do list. I made some phone-calls, worked on my webshop, worked on my blog, published a Youtube video. It was a good day! At night, my boyfriend, a friend and I wanted to go play tennis but all the courts were already takes. That was a bummer. But one of our friends has a pool and so we went over there to swim instead!

Tuesday

Today was content day. And so, I spend almost the entire day on a Youtube video I am planning to publish anytime soon. I edited that same video for a bit and another video too. Honestly, I love making Youtube videos! I hope to inspire some people and get the eco-positive message out! For the rest of the day I watched Are You The One Season 7. I realized I hadn’t seen that season yet haha and so I binged watched it. I love that show. Today I also got a lot of responds to my Instagram story about the fact that I am against equestrian sport (horse riding). I had a lot of interesting conversations about it and I feel like I made people think. I think equestrian sport is wrong because we use horses as an instrument and I am against using animals. Especially because it’s to pleasure us. I feel like horses shouldn’t be used by humans, period.

Wednesday

I’ve handed in my thesis about two weeks ago. I didn’t sleep very well and all of today I’ve been nervous because I expected school to call today. My future depends on it and so I need to know. If I pass I will be at the University of Amsterdam (VU) next week and if I fail I need to wait for a whole year. I just need to know. They said they’d check my thesis before the 29th of August because the new semester in Amsterdam is starting next and I need to get approval to start. But it’s almost 4 pm and I still haven’t received a call. I think I am calling my teacher myself tonight to see what’s happening because I need to know. This is just nerve-racking. In the end I did end up contacting my teacher and she says she’ll tell me tomorrow. We ended uo getting dinner at an Indian restaurant and it was lovely. I had a delicious vegan meal. At night I went home to Enschede using public transportation again!

Hi! My name is Romee Hoeksma and I am on a journey to an eco-positive life. An eco-positive lifestyle is a lifestyle in which I have a more positive than negative impact on the beautiful planet earth. On this blog you can follow my journey to a life with only positive impact. At this blog you can find all sorts of things, from tips to recipes to personal experiences, but most of all fun (I hope!). I write about how I want to change the world, but don’t look at it as if I’m judging you.

Eén van mijn favoriete vegan snacks, bij de Lidl tijdens de Griekse week 🇬🇷. Op dit moment is plantaardig eten nog niet de norm in Nederland, helaas. Daarom hebben veel mensen dan ook geen idee wat veganisten eten. Om die reden heb ik de afgelopen week weer eens een eetdagboek bijgehouden, want wat eet ik nou als veganist gedurende de week? Je leest het nu in mijn vegan food diary via de link in mijn bio 🥭. #plantaardig #veganfood #dagboek Verpakkingsvrij wasmiddel kopen, dat hoeft niet moeilijk te zijn! In deze reel laat ik je zien hoe ik dat doe 🧺. Volg mijn account voor meer duurzame tips. Elke maand doneer ik ongeveer 7% van mijn inkomen aan goede doelen, omdat ik dat zie als enorm belangrijk en het juiste ding om te doen 💸. Maar daarmee komt de vraag op: geloof ik dat goede doelen het antwoord zijn op alle grote problemen van onze tijd? Oftewel: is geld doneren de oplossing? Over die vraag én het antwoord schreef ik een uitgebreid artikel die vandaag online staat, de link vind je in mijn bio. #goeddoel #doneren #blog Vegan pizza tonno, hmmmm. Dacht je dat vegans geen tonijnpizza kunnen eten? Think again! 🐟 Een hele tijd geleden schreef ik een artikel over e-mail activisme: een vorm van activisme die je thuis op de bank kan doen. Vandaag deel ik graag een geslaagd voorbeeld daarvan met jullie ✨. Vandaag staat er een documentaire-tip op mijn blog. Disclosure, een documentaire over de representatie van transgender personen in de media 📽. Echt een must-see, want wat wij hebben als cis-gender personen nog een hoop te leren. Lees meer over de documentaire via de link in mijn bio. #disclosure #documentaire #transgender Vandaag deel 2 van de vegan hotspots in Londen 🧆. Wat heb ik lekker gegeten daar, niet te doen! Bubala was mijn absolute favoriet, dus als je iets moet kiezen, kies Bubala. Vorige week verscheen er een artikel over treinreizen naar Londen op mijn blog. Aanvullend daarop verscheen er vandaag een artikel over een ander aspect van duurzaam reizen: het eten. Lees nu het artikel met mijn favoriete veganistische restaurants in Londen nu via de link in mijn bio 🌮. #veganfood #veganlondon #veganrestaurants
