Still in uni, got a snow day. It was a nice change of pace since this month is gonna drive me crazy. I had to pull back from a couple activities because the graphic design portfolio admission deadline is in the beginning of March. (One activity was a part time job I really like— which is an ouch. But I'll hopefully be able to pick it up again once this is all over, based on my supervisor...) The other one is my vice president position at a community service club, but the term is ending in a month, so it's perfect timing.

Speaking of clubs, I've been trying to revive the AIGA club at my school, and we voted on board today. I became president through a unanimous vote. (☍◡⁰) it was not my intention at first, but no one was raising their hand to take the role... And even the faculty advisor said she was gonna call out my name if I didn't raise my hand lol. I think I maybe, just maybe made a good impression since I've been creating the building blocks. And I was too dumb to realize that ppl would want me to lead since I was... already leading, I guess. 🫠 Haha whoops.

But I'm sure it'll pay off. I'm a little nervous but also excited! Life is crazy right now but I hope everything ends well! (Because it would be even more awkward to not get into the design program when I'm the president of the design club ._.)

I finally have a chance to breathe from my chaotic semester. At the same time, I worry that I won't have enough time to recover because certain responsibilities are time sensitive. And my family environment isn't the best...

There's one task that really bugs me: future roommates want to move out of the dorms before the next semester starts, and this was 'decided' on around finals week. Plus we apartment hunted for like... less than a week, around finals week.

The old plan was to move around the end of the school year, which would've given us time to research everything we need to know, search for places, and plan move in. (And the old idea was that I only had one roommate, not two.)

This rushing is all due to a shitty dorm situation my second roommate is in, but... It's so rushed that I don't even know what to say. I don't want to risk something worse happening. I feel like there are so many unknown variables. We're planning a discussion with each other and each other's parents at some point this break, so I'm honestly hoping we don't move out soon unless we're mostly sure things will work out.

...Overall though, I'm just trying not to think. My body is exhausted; my brain is drained. I just wanna relax, and I haven't registered that Christmas is soon. I'm not in the holiday mood at all.

At least I get to pet my dog. He's so fluffy and floofy.

It's been a long time since I've commented on these weekly check ups. I'm so sleepy... But for the first time in over a month, I feel caught up in a good chunk of my schoolwork. Can't wait for break!

I accomplished a lot this semester but I just can't process it yet. I'm too much in the thick of things, blinded by stress and exhaustion lol. Overall though, pretty hopeful. Things look bright.

Hope everyone is doing well, and/or things get better soon!

I went out with friends and realized the eclipse was happening lol. So we hung out with a random group of people for a bit and got some photos.

Other than that, I've been burning out. Somehow the past weekend helped me recover in spite of it being busy then too. So I dunno. Life's weird with it's random issues and solutions. I'm definitely tired though. As much as I like being at uni, I want a break. I'm worried I'll burn out again... But we'll see.

In other news, I'm hungry. I'm craving desserts. And I miss my dog.

I'm a busy bee. Last week was my club's welcome week, so I'm behind on some of my assignments. I also have a midterm and a test this week. I lost track of those dates because I've been busy planning for my club this month and for next month... My club schedule is more organized than my school schedule. Kinda awkward.

Also working my part-time job. It's been fun, but now that one person is leaving, I know that I'll have more responsibilities given to me. We only have five people on the team— two seniors, one intern, and two student workers— so it can be rough. I'm still learning how to navigate the CMS with my fellow student worker, so it'll be interesting to see what new duties I'll have.

Overall, not a bad week? I just know it'll be an exhausting one. (Like last week.) ._. Hope the workload gets lighter, but I think I'll have to wait for a holiday break for that to happen.

Haven't degoogled. If I want to degoogle, I need to sort through a lot just to get started. I've never been much of a social media person, though. My only issue is that a lot of people around me get their conversational topics from social media, which is sometimes enlightening but mostly kinda bleh to me.

I used to lurk through Reddit. Now I pop on Lemmy occasionally. When it comes to communication I prefer texting, email, or in-person.

Social media is more of a last resort for me for communication. Hate Snapchat— uninstalled it and never looked back. I want to uninstall Instagram, but it's one of the ways I contact people. I had to install Facebook for Facebook Messenger based on some policy my club has for board members... Hate that. Once I graduate from university I'd love to uninstall both, but I'll probably keep instagram for the sake up keeping up with old friends.

And no to TikTok. So many people have it but I don't want to join in. Overall, it does make me a lil sad that I'm into privacy because I feel like I'm missing out on connecting with people. Other times, I don't think I'm missing out on much at all.

I forgot about this thread because of how busy the week has been. It feels like this week has been a month. I had to guide eight new students around campus while keeping up with the new changes in a tight schedule. They were a chaotic bunch, but fortunately pretty responsible. I felt sorry for some others because their mentees were troublemakers or just dramatic.

I'm never doing this again lol. It's a nice experience to have once, but I don't like how I get a random group of people that are possibly good or bad. Yesterday I was recuperating from the madness. Today, I think I'll need to face some issues I put aside for this job. But man, I'm so sleepy.

Usually it's late August/early September for me. I'm going back early because I got into a program to help mentor the first years. Basically they get to start a week earlier to get accustomed to uni and I get to start a week before they do for my in-person training.

Taking as many naps as possible before going back to university.

I'll have to go back soon and I have mixed feelings about it. I am excited, I'm just also doing my best not to let my worries get to me.

This weekend I gotta plan my goals for this year. I'm contemplating studying abroad, getting an internship, or both. I'll also be hanging out with my siblings before I leave. And packing.

Bouldering sounds fun! I'd love to try that at some point. But first, I'm gonna try to rope some of my friends into starting off with indoor climbing.

My hobbies are drawing, reading, and learning a language! Haven't done a lot lately though. My main 'hobby' right now is studying. For school. (☍◡⁰)

I love drawing since it's relaxing. I might doodle whatever comes to mind or accidentally create something pretty lol. I read webcomics as a replacement to bingeing shows. Not always a good thing but it can serve as a good distraction. Then there's learning languages... I was studying German a while back and fell off. But opening yourself to a whole new culture is thrilling, especially once you get past basic level. Definitely hoping to travel abroad to Germany someday.

One more thing. Maybe volunteering? You meet different types of people and they all tend to be friendly and laid-back. I joined a volunteer club last year and it's been pretty fun, even when I had some depressing or anxious days. Plus it can be a nice way to socialize.

I say you have a point. The moustache look makes it more friendly. You can also see the butt/stinger as a bandana!

Pokemon. It ended up being my morning show that would end right before I had to leave for school. But what really put anime on my radar was the old YouTube algorithm, constantly showing me pirated episodes of obscure anime lol. Good times. Thank god I never ran into anything traumatic, cuz I just winged it for a while.

I still love the anime as a childhood experience, but I don't consider it great. Probably one of the only childhood shows I'd be willing to watch today would be Avatar The Last Airbender, but I know it doesn't exactly count as anime.

It's a play on words for my name and generic. If anyone I know sees my username, they won't know it's me lol.
