updates

been a while since i posted anything other than exchange letters. kinda got caught up in school and whatnot, i guess.

i’m taking two classes (9 credit hrs total; one of them is a 6 hr japanese course that meets every weekday, which is the first "every weekday" class i've taken since middle school, wild), but recently i got stuck on a major assignment and haven't turned it in and just OTL. sitting around doing nothing (like i was last fall) feels bad, but i can't muster as much enthusiasm for learning as i'd like either.

i got a packer last month. sometimes i’m neutral about it, other times (like now) it provides gender euphoria.

exchanges-wise, i've really been enjoying ficinabox! the "can split your assignment into pieces" was quite cool, as well as the "can partially default" and "can pick up part of a pinch hit" aspects. assuming all the current pinch hits get written in time, reveals will be november 8th. i'm excited!

also tempted by highadrenalineexchange, which is currently in nominations; basically with that one, you have 2 weeks to write 10k words, and 1 week to edit. "don't die." considering how long it took me to write my 10k for Fic In A Box, i'm not sure if i should sign up for this one; might be better to just treat. might depend on how i'm feeling when signups are open.

'course the elephant in the room right now is the election. i voted early, like two weeks ago. not gonna hold my breath for texas to flip blue, but like, it'd be real sweet if it did, yknow? here's hoping.
