Summer is a busy time of the year for me. Somehow the whole summer gets planned out before May even starts and it already seems like we don't have enough time to do everything that we want to do. Summer is when too much life gets in the way of my New Year's resolution, and I neglect to update my site for a few months. Well, things are getting back to normal, so it's time for me to be a productive person again.
I needed a place to keep myself organized and keep track of my goals. I guess I could have used an actual journal, but then I'd have to buy a journal, and one of my goals is to save money. I don't intend on this blog ever being useful to anyone other than myself. We'll see how long I can keep up with this.
Oh, yeah I'll get back to learning more Chinese and updating the site eventually.
Yeah. Just like the title says.
My life has been really good. I love going to work. I can't believe how much I actually enjoy going to work everyday. And I've been so focused on just doing work and then blobbing around afterwards. But blobbing is over. I've got to focus on saving money, cooking, learning, all that jazz.
I'm trying to decide what fun thing to add to this site next. I get a little overwhelmed looking at the ridiculous code that's somehow made this site, and I wonder why I decided to put a website together using C. Since I sort of have a login feature in place, I think I'll try and add a page for me to make blog posts using a web interface instead of this silly little bash script I wrote up.
I'm sick :/
I have to go back to work tomorrow and I have all these emails to read and all this work to do. I need a vacation after my vacation.
My one new year's resolution: sleep earlier!!! Last night I went to sleep at 12:30am. That's a good enough start, right?
This past month I've been SUPER lazy. I've spent so much money and haven't cooked and barely exercised. Work has been super busy as well. But now the school year is starting again (for those people who still go to school) and work is slowing down, so I think it's time for me to get back on track.
I did a huge restructuring of the code and also fixed a couple of bugs that I noticed. There is now a login feature. It's pretty useless at the moment.
My SO bought me Guardian's Crusade. It's this awesome RPG game for PlayStation. It was probably made for little kids, but I don't care, it's fun (: Taking my time on it though. Currently at Level 30 (ish) and I need to rescue some dude from Trisken.
I reread Peter and the Starcatchers and then read Peter and the Shadow Thieves. Now I'm on to book three: Peter and the Secret of Rundoon. I'm not as engrossed by the stories as I used to be, but they're still fantastic books.
I'm trying to get back into learning things, and right now I'm going through an introductory circuits textbook. I probably already learned all of this stuff at one point, but I need a refresher because I feel like my knowledge of circuits is very limited right now.
I will run today. With Pokemon Go on.
I feel like I'm working too much. Last Sunday, I had to work for five hours because of something I screwed up earlier in the week. I decided to leave early on Friday to compensate for that, but I still ended up staying at work an hour later then I planned, and I was thinking about work the whole time on the bus ride home. I've been thinking about work so much that it's seeping into my dreams at night. And I hate my dreams.
I've been thinking about the fact that work eats up so much time in my day, and I really do want to start working remotely at some point this year. I just have some goals I want to achieve before that point.
On another note, I filed my taxes! So early this year. Eagerly awaiting my refund.
I really do want to get back to adding more things to this site as well. I've just been really busy with work and by the time I've showered, had dinner, and cleaned everything, I realize it's 9pm already. And I don't like to have too much mental stimulation after 9.
