I’m thinking of tweaking my approach to these posts. There’s certain days that I take tons of photos. I can’t really fit them all into one post. I don’t want to just upload all the photos. I like having them amid the writing.
I don’t know what to do. Where do I post all the photos. Can I post them to multiple blog posts?
I went walking up the hill the other day. I took tons of photos. Should I post some of them across different blog posts? Other wise I’d have to write like five pages. I want them to exist among the writing. I prefer the way that looks.
But it doesn’t really make sense to post them across multiple posts. That kind of defeats the purpose of having the posts dated. Maybe it doesn’t matter.
It’s almost like a fake day. An imaginary day. That could be kind of cool, maybe. A bit surreal. A bit meta.
I don’t know. Maybe not. Maybe I should just get over it and write like 5 pages, if that’s what’s required. Maybe not, though.
This post is dated as May 28, but I’m writing it on May 30th. The hill photos are from the 27th. The first two photos are from the 28th.
So I don’t even know what’s going on. I guess it doesn’t matter that much. As long as the photos are somewhat close to the date they were taken.
So yah, I went for a walk up the Port Hills. I had the day off on Monday. I never have days off. That’s alright. I like working with Jayne and Mark. It’s the other job that I’m excited to be done with. My last day at the restaurant is June 16th. I can’t wait.
I’m really grateful they hired me, though. I applied to so many places. They’re the only ones that called me back.
There were so many times that I’d had enough. I nearly quit countless times.
Working with Dimitri is just too much for me. I’m grateful he went on holiday. That’s the only reason I continued to work there. I timed it so that I would finish when he returns.
It’s not stressful now that he’s gone, but it is boring. I also just don’t connect with the staff. I don’t really feel there’s much opportunity to chat.
Even when I chat with Despina I feel as though she just wants me to stop talking. I feel really empty when I’m there.
Working there was the reason I started applying to University. I just felt as though I didn’t want to do that type of work for the rest of my life. I wanted to better myself, somehow.
Anyways, walking up the hill was really cool. I could see all the huge mountains off in the distance. You can’t see them when you’re down at street level.
I ended up getting near to the top of the hill. It was pretty quick. I’d like to do another trail before I leave.
I went with Mark and Jayne to their Alpha course. The food was amazing. It was more interesting than the first time. I felt more comfortable. I still find it all a bit awkward. I really don’t feel a spiritual connection when I’m there.
There was one point where the guy on TV had us say a prayer. I liked that. It was about allowing Jesus into your heart.
I like that stuff. The esoteric, spiritual stuff. I don’t like the dogma. Like when they talk about the history. When they say ‘this happened, then this happened, and we know because we know.’
