the rest of winter break

 maybe not super surprising but the days since getting home have been very very chill. Somewhat literally lol as the apartment continues to be very cold. It's not as cold as I thought it was, though -- it IS a little chilly in here but I was also very sleep deprived and sleep deprivation makes me feel chilly. Now that I've gotten more sleep and also exercised more, it's bearable.

 it's not even that cold outside, either. as long as I put all my stuff on and keep moving it's again, very bearable! I walked to the grocery store a few days ago and that was nice. 

mostly though I've been decompressing, working on art stuff. Even wrote a thing, which never happens. steam sale meant I was able to buy a lot of fancy new games for less than $5 which was great. I won't be playing most of them right now but it's good that I have them so that I don't have to pay up like $50 or whatever when I get bored in summer.

it's weird, though - I've been doing lots of *hand-wavy* things, like answering prompts and figuring out character details and stuff. but it's been a while since I've gotten any new story or anything which is a bit disappointing. It's hard to keep doing creative things when I haven't had new plot in a while. And there are a lot of people doing swtor-ish things in my online social circles which is cool, but I don't have any more stories I really want to do? 

It was fun putting Galen through the Sith Warrior story, for example, but now I've been through that story and it's not new anymore. And the stories I have left to do - smuggler and trooper - aren't very good, or they're otherwise not to my taste. I've done the stories I like, lol. so now all that's left are the less good ones that I don't like.

Or i could switch universe. Find a new game and make characters for that.. but frankly I'm not really a fan of that, either. All the people and characters I like are already in the swtor universe, I don't want to leave!

Anywho. classes start in a few days. In the meantime, I chill. or sleep. or walk around campus. (just occured to me: I haven't been to a doctor or dentist in a while. how... does one get an appointment with that when one's parents aren't around to do it??)
