Exhausting week, this course I applied to started and it's super intensive, also interesting and hopefully helps with employment, but not very accessible in terms of sensory stuff and practical arrangements. Thankfully there aren't too many days we spend in the classroom as it's mostly online/practical training so I guess I'll manage. Also there's this older woman in the class who is openly reluctant of being in there, carries neonazi symbols and fantasizes about beating people up and shit like that, and I had to do some exercises with this idiot and listen to her rambling. I don't understand why she's there, the course is voluntary... If she keeps going I'm gonna ask the teachers to do something about it, no reason we have to tolerate such fascist crap.

Today we cleaned the flat, baked banana cupcakes and made pasta with carrot-tomato sauce. Friends came over with their kid for dinner. I'm socially empty right now. Food was good though!
