I submitted my thesis.

[27M] Chemistry, UK

Just venting how I feel. Hoping for advice / others who relate!

I just submitted my thesis after a very very long 4 years.

I feel no different to when I was working on it. Actually I feel a bit sick even.

I still have my oral examination to go so maybe that’s it? The feeling of more to do?

I still feel the pain in my jaw from the stress of grinding my right side.

I still have the feeling of it not being enough.

Despite working so hard and compromising on things I thought I would never compromise on.

Anyone else share the same feeling after submission?

Is unfriending the only way to go from here?

Before I get Into it. Yes I have messaged them on campfire (no response)

I have been having to decline their remote trade requests for over a month now. They originally were only requesting the Uxie but now Mesprit and a BG articuno (which I care less about).

But they keep doing this, I messaged them on campfire kindly asking if they could consider adding regional Pokemon.

I would be willing to trade something as rare as Uxie / Mespeit for something that's so common over there but impossible to get here (UK).

It's a shame to delete this person since I've had them for a while but is that my only option now? I could just give them the background articuno to get them off my back but I fear this will happen in 90 more days 😂😂

Am I being unreasonable?

My first TCG Event

TLDR : First event was super nervous but ended up enjoying myself and pulled the Greninja SIR!

Go to your locals!!

First ever TCG event that me and my partner decided to finally to go to after skipping several (we were worried we’d frustrate people or be too slow)

We initially told we would be split up which made us super nervous because we planned to go to the event together and face each other (not burden anyone else). But the play place paired us with more experienced players to help us learn. I cannot express how fun it was! My partner seemed to have a blast too.

I had the Ampharos deck and I faced 3 games against Delphox. Won 2 of 3 out of sheer luck honestly but my opponent was very patient and helped me understand the mechanics .

My first four packs netted me the Chespin IR and a Pyroar EX. Pretty happy at this point.

Then the owner said everyone that plays 3 games gets 3 booster packs… I was really surprised. For what I paid the build and battle box and the event was more than enough.

I then pulled the Greninja SIR. I was shaking.
