LAST SEMESTER WEEK

[19th Jan - 25th Jan]

a quick summary!

[long ass post alert but so much happened that week I'm probably forgetting stuff too 😭]

THE LAST WEEK WAS SO PACKED IT WAS READY TO TRAVEL ROUND THE WORLD curse my uni it put every single test and exam last minute T_T [since this is from the future the marks I got in every test are in the square brackets next to the test lol]

ACED a certification exam on html!! 929 out 1000!!! even though I only started studying for it in the week's Sunday by just going through the w3schools website. still so proud of myself!!!

every single test I gave this week I studied for the night before and the fact that all of my results are so good even with that disadvantage is probably why I have a procrastination problem

despite my love for it, I can't drink monsters that often because of parental restriction lol BUT this week required it so I got one! it probably saved my ass honestly

still couldn't - and still can't - believe my first semester's already over, it feels like yesterday I was aimless and lost in entrance exam hell but life is progressing and its heading upwards :D

idk if anyone was wondering - probably not lol - but unlike most of the students I see online, because of my social anxiety I don't usually study at libraries T_T

even though they've sucked for me before, I still tried it out on Monday this week and lasted. 20 minutes? I think I could've actually studied if I had friends accompanying but even then I would focus more on what people were thinking of me rather than what I was studying so I don't think I'll do it again lol. It might've been stress? but social anxiety is a bitch lol.

I prefer sitting in cozier video/voice calls with friends [shoutout @a-fox-studies, our calls show up in my dreams sometimes with how often we're in them lol <3] or people in a studyblr server. it honestly might be because I have more control with what they see but is this just a me thing or are there other people who just can't fuck with libraries 👁 ?

👟 total step count of the week 👟

47,514 steps! The most I've ever gotten!!

[reached my step goal 5 days that week and they were the 5 days I spent walking across my uni to lectures lol]

#CalmWriMo Final Weeks (Wrap-up 19-31)

Hello it's been a while, hasn't it? So this is the final actualization of this month event, and as you can see for the date is December already... my bad.

In this case there was supposed to be an actualization the past Sunday 26th and another one marking the finish line on Friday 1st. That didn't happened however, I got a lot of things keeping me busy this past weeks and at the same time I didn't have quite the energy or the motivation so in the case of progress I didn't have a lot to show you...

But after all that I did wanted to do this post, marking the progress of this month dedicated to build and reach certain goals but, in spirit of the same tag #CalmWriMo, doing those at my own pace and with as much calm as I wanted.

So here's my late and final actualization of this journey into this month writing and selfcare goals. First blog here for reference.

Writing Goals.

I did have some notorious progress into the writing of the Eternal Throne, I wasn't able to write everyday as I was looking forward to do but I did manage to write 11 out of the 30 days.

Tracking this progress in my spreadsheet I manage to have a final word count of: 18,362 marking the progress of this month alone to 2,240 words

I didn't catch up with all the request and tag games I had in my backlog because of having to be too much hyperfixated in certain scenes I wanted to edit and a particular scene I wanted to finish before releasing.

I did reorganize the archives, and they're feeling quite cozy lately. It's great to see the new organization, and that I no longer need to scroll down to find certain things as well as how the Archives thematic feels just as I intended since the beginning.

Second blog planning has been rough but I still have hope into it's development.

Gaster ☝✌💧❄☜☼

Self-care goals.

Now with the progress of the Archivist trying to be kind to themselves.

The sleep schedule recovery mission had their ups and downs but I would say now is more stable that it was a month ago which is great.

I did go back to running each week successfully (yay!) out of the 5ish weeks of the duration of this event I did go for this exercise 4 out of 5. Mixed results with each but the habit is back on track, after so many months without being able to be consistent so that's great.

My health was 'good?'. As the sleep schedule it has been a bumpy ride, but at least I'm better now. I would not get into details but before this month started I was really concerned about that regard, now finally I can say that at minimum it doesn't concerned me that much anymore.

So that's all I have to say. Thank you to the ones who keep up with this journey and for those in the future who just pick their interest. This archivist is very grateful for your visit and they hope to see you soon, take care and don't forget: Memento Mori.

the moment I heard elphaba's delivery of "there's a girl i know..." in i'm not that girl i knew i had to draw this comic, i strongly recommend listening to it while you read for the full experience!

this comic is a companion to this piece (which was inspired by glinda's delivery of the same line in the i'm not that girl reprise).

pages 1-4 are from elphie's pov, pages 5-8 are from glinda's.

What a busy week! There wasn't a day were I didn't have to work overtime and I can only hope the upcoming week will be easier to handle at work.

I went to a museum with a friend on Saturday and I think I never had this much fun going to a museum! I hope we can do something like that sometime again.

Also fun update, I started ADHD meds again! It's been like 10 years since I've last taken some and I was really worried about trying them but it went well! I'm interested to see how they'll get me though work and not just through a lazy Sunday.

if there's anything i've learned from the current state of social media it's that this is one of the worst possible notifications you can receive upon opening an app

[egophiliac]

idia was an absolute treasure this update. you agree.

Idia really went "time for me to be a hero! but in, like, a super meta way" and if that isn't incredibly in-character then what is.

and of course we can't forget

I kinda hope he and Riddle get to do another game jam again sometime! it's nice to see them get along! and now they have, inexplicably...shared skills and interests???

LAB PREP + PRACTICALS WEEK [1st Jan - 9th Jan]

a quick summary!

happy belated new YEARRRR (we're six weeks into the new year time is so slippery and for what T_T)

I finished like 10 pens writing assignments and record books this week and didn't study at all so I failed an html mock assessment thing lol but its cool

the events of each lab: math: it was python, but they taught us jack-shit so I ended up memorizing the programs 2 hours before the lab, and passed with flying colours 👍 there was no viva thank god c lang: they gave us 10 programs to study and I'd actually pre-prepared for this because our professor tricked us into thinking it was a week before. I spent like 20 hours straight learning these programs a week ago and it didn't even happen T_T it went fking amazing though, and so did viva!! I got full marks!! :D physics: studied the experiment write-ups the night before and kind of forgot some of it because the experiment I ended up getting had some heavy content - there were so many tables and so many graphs T_T - I persevered though and breezed through the actual experiment conduction because I'd been teaching it to my lab-mates the past week! I thought my viva went disastrously BUT I passed with a 0.4 deduction only!!

my uni's tea is the best tea 👍

I’m still writing. Just questioning if I need to make chapter 14 of Love Over Matter longer or if on Enchanted, Lizzy Munson gets the spotlight. Hopefully I will post something beginning of April. My birthday is in 4 days.

(Hint: Lizzy Munson shows readers that she’s definitely the daughter of Edward Munson. 😝😝😝)

#CalmWriMo Week 2 (13-19)

Hello, once again. Another week of steady progress into the goals for the Archives and the archivist themselves. It was a pretty busy week but regardless there were a ton of work that has been done since.

Here's is now the log on this week Archives writing goals.

Writing goals.

Just like the past week I try my best to write everyday into the progress of The Eternal Throne, but like last week progress had some mixed results.

Current Word Count: 14080

The majority of this progress has been made because I participated in a really cool Write-In event held in the @writeblrcafe discord server (which was pretty awesome to be part of ^^)

Translating has also been stayed into a halt for some personal reasons but nothing to worry about.

As some of you might have seen, there's already some books being thrown around in the halls of the Archives but no need to worry they're just being categorize, rearrange and organize for the future. You can find everything in this Masterlist for you to explore and for the archivist to not been so lost in their own archives.

Self-care goals.

It has been a slow but steady progress into going back to running each week. But progress has been made, despite having a pretty busy week that made me feel so tired, I'm already looking forward to next week run.

Taking care of my health has also been pretty chill since last week 'bad start' so that's an improvement already.

Sleep schedule has been a mess honestly but hoping next week could be a little bit better.

In general the week didn't feel that strong at the start but the planning of last week, combine with my sudden participation of this event really helped a lot in regards to the progress made on the goals this week. Not a lot of planning for next week but we'll see how everything works out. So that was it for this actualization, see you next week! There's some scattered notes in need to be sorted out, take care and remember: Memento Mori.

It's just guys night talk! Don't worry about it!
