Holy crap, this still exists
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.

Happy New Year
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?

Getting Back to the Swing of Things
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.

Work, work, work
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.
- Go to sleep by 10pm
- Get to work at 7am
- Leave work at 4pm
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.

Happy New Year

Yeah, I know. I'm almost a month late.
So the blog was down for a bit, and because my status updates are linked to the blog those ended up being down as well. I've finally put them back up again! And maybe I've fixed the problem. Not sure though. Anyway, a new year means new resolutions.
- Go to sleep by 10
- Wake up at 6
- Get to work by 7
- Exercise at least twice a week
- Keep food spending under $150 a month
- Work at person pace at work (currently going between snail and turtle)
- Read 12 books this year
- Learn something...tech-y
- Get more comfortable with Teochew
- Go to meetups every month
- Keep my apartment clean and organized
- Stop wasting time on the internet
I realized I make a lot of these lists. I tried to quantify as much as I could this time though. I guess using the term 'person' or 'people' pace is a bit vague, but I've always thought that I moved really slowly at work, and I could do better to not waste too much time. I'm still not exactly sure what I want to learn that's tech-related. Perhaps some type of assembly or something reverse engineering related.
As always, I can't seem to get enough sleep. I did wake up before 8am today all on my own though!
