October 15

 Lots of stuff today. Went to bed at 1 pm yesterday and midnight the day before. Clean check meant that I skipped half of one class to make sure I did my job right. Most of my roommates did not do their jobs, so we failed. I hope that does not mean that I will be fined.

Tablet and new phone arrived yesterday, set them up today. After setting up several devices prior to college, the process is starting to feel pretty familiar. Bit of a hairy moment when I thought I wasn't going to be able to transfer old phone data to the new phone but... it all worked out. I'm typing up this post on my laptop right now.

Rainy and cold out. Unlike several weeks before when I was trying to get out of the house as much as possible, after classes today I was just inside the whole day. Setting stuff up, but also occasionally getting distracted and scrolling. I estimate a pretty big portion of the day actually got eaten by Tumblr today. But it wasn't AS bad as it could have been. Most of what I was doing was checking up on mutuals (Tumblr friends/followers) and seeing some genuinely interesting OCs and stuff. There was less meaningless scrolling for the sake of scrolling than there could have been.

My tablet is going to replace my laptop which I dropped last week. It runs Windows and I can do everything on it that I did on my laptop. Hopefully, I will also be able to use it for art. And it has a pretty chunky case, which should hopefully protect it from inevitable drops.

Winter is approaching. I need to make sure I don't spend too much time indoors. Having a car is going to be very helpful, because I think there will be days when I am unwilling to walk but driving is ok. Also, I can camp out in my car and it's more comfy to sit there than my desk chair is. Maybe should get an exercise ball or something because the chair that comes with the room is MEGA uncomfortable for my back end.

Think everyone's kind of having a rough time right now. The people I know, I mean. I'm not doing great but I'm much better than I've been at other times in my life. That is useful for perspective.

  1. Yeah, my Oct 15 wasn't great either. Today's going better though. I finished this week's Star Wars prompt story--always very satisfying. :)

    Have you considered *sparkles* talking to your roommates about the not doing their jobs thing *sparkles*
    Also congrats on figuring out technology
