ok suddenly i have a lot i have to do before like. Thursday but it is ok i can manage bc theres a Lot of time in a day. arguably too much to even notice.
i am leaving for vacation thursday midday. long road trip (part of which i will be driving!). so before then i need to pack. and finish like three assignments. It ok. i have to write and perform a speech on whatever topic i want which is hard because i struggle a lot in open ended assignments. im a fish out of water... flailing around... but i am trying my best!

hihiii its been a while! this weekend i am crazy sick. like i genuinely dont think ive had a stream of consciousness before sitting down to type this... im extremely lethargic and i cant really Do anything without wanting to lay down.. ough.
meanwhile: been thinking about persona 5 a lot. all the phantom thieves... akechi goro... also thinking about persona 4. atlus registered the domain for p4re.jp a couple days ago. before p3reload was announced, they registered the domain p3re.jp about 3 months earlier. when people were saying we'd get persona 4 remake before persona 6 i genuinely thought they were joking. not so funny now is it.. i need to finish p4g Actually. i miss it. ive been told im very similar to yosuke. plus hes orange!!!!!!!! like the one video game character whose thematic color is orange!!!! my favorite!!!!! and he has Headphones. epic....

am trying to go to sleep earlier today...
yesterday was quite uneventful. i really only left the house to get food. my hair was greasy, so i threw on a baseball cap to hide it. when i left the house i got scared bc like.. what if it isnt baseball cap weather yet and i look like an Idiot. on the drive there tho i counted 11 other people wearing caps, so that calmed me down. this is going to sound very stupid when i write it down, but ive recently noticed that i have a bad habit of looking at my feet while walking. i attempted to remedy this somewhat at the store - practicing looking people in the eye while walking. slow steps, but at least theyre in the right direction!

while a home yesterday i finally had the chance to play synthesis, a p5r fangame. it was really good! the entire time i was really just awed at the amount of love put into it. ive long been someone who never really contributes anything to fandoms - not 2 be a debbie downer or anything, but im not particularly creative, nor do i have the brains for theories or headcanons and the like! but maybe i dont really have to have those things... maybe the love for the media is enough to spur me to creation...

i am feeling better!

this morning i decided to wake up early. i made a breakfast bagel to take with me, and drove up to this mountain pavilion. i drive past it almost everyday on my way to school. i got there as the sun was barely rising, and ate breakfast. it was a little chilly. lots of birds flitting about. saw lots of american robins, which made me happy. i honestly expected there to be way less people, but there were about 15 cars parked?? and at 7 in the morning?? once i finished my breakfast i discovered that theres actually a five mile trail that starts from there and circles back around. i hiked it for maybe 30 minutes before coming back to my car. it was pretty steep! the air was so nice though...
since i was already feeling pretty good about myself, i decided to check out the other trailhead just down the road. its up the other side of the mountain. i decided against hiking up this one, and instead had a very awkward conversation with the lady at the park center desk in which i was just saying words. but all in all, very nice. driving back i saw lots of cows and horses.

i decided last night that i wanted today to be without my phone. so far im succeeding in this task. i feel way better. ive gotten some drawing done, which ill upload soon.

yesterday i continued my p5r ng+ game.. its been a while since i played, so while i remember the bigger plotlines, finer details are foggy. it really feels like rediscovering my love for the game again. all the characters suddenly have an added depth to them... i forgot how mean sojiro is to akiren at the start lolol. i also never Truly realized how selfless ryuji is! at the very very start, when he doesnt even know akiren, he literally runs at and shoves all the guards just so akiren can escape? memorizing all the volleyball players faces - even though he knows fully well that these exact people have probably shunned him after the track accident? i love ryuji im so glad i share a birthday with him. also. morgana is not that bad.

i always forget how real seasonal depression is. its been 25 degrees (celsius) for a couple days now and suddenly theres light in my life again. thank god its already wednesday. the daffodils in our front yard are blooming again. birds are singing!!! i didnt realize how much i missed them..

monday and tuesday were a little hectic so i didnt have time to write about my weekend. it was really nice! visited a local store that sells jp products and they had takoyaki!! it was my first time trying it and i didnt expect to like it so much. the same place also had a couple gachapons and ofc i did the bird one. got my fav pick first try :3 you'll see it in the cheesecake pic. vv cute sparrow!!! bringing it with me on test days for good luck.


on sunday i went to a friends birthday party... we did an escape room and were Horribly bad at it. the lady monitoring our room was super nice and kept giving us discreet hints lol. there was a gundam store next to the escape room place with a life size model. [i didnt buy anything (sadly). i think the spirit of buddhism is coming after me because ive been lacking in my worldly desires. i havent spent money on anything miscelleanous since christmas.. and that was for gifts... ough.] then we went to a pho place that was super good.. pho tai my love. i managed to almost finish the bowl! for dessert, we ordered a green tea cheesecake with matcha ice cream... it was so good you cant even imagine... the cheesecake was a little thicker than usual and you could really taste the green tea. eating a slice with a little whipped cream and icecream in combo... wow...

i cannot believe it is march... three months into the year already. only two more months until this school year ends. crazy scary. i'll have to figure out what to do with my time in the summer. i'm thinking of volunteering for this horse camp i used to go to when i was younger. i work well enough with kids, and being outside all day with the horses is not as bad as younger me thought it was. i miss it a lot during the year. thinking of the barn and stable, of walking the horses back to their pastures.. splendid.
other than that, i might apply for this criminal investigations program at a local college, but i'm not sure if i'll get in. i hope i do! it'll be nice to feel as if i'm actually doing somethings Important and Proper and Contributing to my education.

today was nice. very light in terms of schoolwork. have started wearing my glasses again recently. did Not realize how bad my left eye was getting in terms of eyesight.. ough
