happy after christmas! here's the post santa day update from me. most
importantly, i got a new ipad and apple pencil!!! unfortunately
they're not compatible... (10th gen and pro pencil) but my mom says we
can go and trade the 10th gen for an air. it'll lose half the storage but
be more powerful... my current ipad (6th gen) is kicking the bucket
despite my great care of it for years. it often crashes in the middle of
me drawing, and i can't have too many apps open at once without serious
lag.
even procreate and spotify at the same time is a no-go!
consequently, i'm super hyped for a new ipad. i'll be turning off
icloud photo sync (fuck that thing) and most other apple stuff. on that
note, i've exported all of my art as .procreate to the files app. yippee!
but i cant get it onto dropbox or something smh. done yapping cause i
actually wanna code now lol byebye!

haiiiiii
guess who's finished their capstone project! o(≧∇≦o) my group has
submitted our final things and are awaiting our grading, changes that
need to be made, etc...
the capstone project is basically an assignment that's the last thing i
have to do (academic work wise) for my entire high school career.
i'm done!!!!! yippee!!!!!!!!! okay not technically, we still have some
presentations to do and such. but fabrication and documentation are done.
my project was basically an excuse to make
a pc and fightstick controllers lol,
it's pretty dope. it also runs way better than my laptop which is kinda
jank cause its in this dumbass wood case but whatever...
now that i do not have classes i have to decide what i'm gonna do. i
still have commitments w the school but my afternoons are free. i picked
to get dismissed early, and i think i'll get a job and work on the site
and learning blender in my off days.
the fishabilities are endfish!
christmas break is in a week, so i'll be doing a shark tank pitch to my
parents when i get home. i'm finally ready to get back into art! i
have some ideas for small things like stickers and keychains, and i'm
excited to start on that for a side project.
i'm tired now expect me to do things... later. i need recharge time lol

so here's a pro tip from the cyberspace angel. you probably should take
ur antidepressants regularly... lol. do not be like me and periodically
miss a day o-O i've been finding recently i'm heavily dependent on
my schedules. when i'm at school, everything happens at the same time so
it's much easier for me to do everything at the same time. when i'm at
home, static stuff like me waking up and going to sleep becomes much more
variable. it throws everything off, and i end up missing stuff like
brushing teeth, showering, and eating a loooot more than i should. also i
forget to take my meds. but those are a relatively new addition to my
routine. -_-
all in all, mental health is weird. it feels like everyday i'm either
feeling crazy good or crazy bad. i hate when my mood is so variable, bc
it messes up my plans on what to do every day TwT. but we're working on
it bit by bit o7

hello! time for the end-of-year life update! （˶′◡‵˶）i had a nice
birthday and thanksgiving, i spent the former with a friend and the
latter with family. i do not get to see my extended family often, so i
was very happy to see my cousins, aunts, and uncles!
thanksgiving is my favorite holiday because of the food!! despite
it not liking me very much, U~U i love my mom's cooking and
happily await the turkey and special punch headed my way. this year i
didn't get any though, because my family organized an event where
everyone contributed a dish. my mom made a red velvet cake (which i
didn't eat because i don't like buttercream? icing). i was really exited
for turkey, and put some on my plate along with mac n cheese and corn on
the cob. i sat with some of my cousins, and excitedly took a bite... only
to finally realize why many of my friends did not like turkey.
this tasted terrible. legitimately. the turkey was
super dry and it coated my mouth like chalk.
i was so dissapointed! ╥﹏╥ everything else was decent though. i
certainly missed my mom's cooking in that moment, but i was happy to
spend some time with family.
one of the highlights of my thanksgiving trip was the market i went to!
my aunt took me to this store tucked away in a shopping center that
advertised anime figures. i had like
$2.38 to my name
and wasn't planning on buying anything (unless i saw rei ayanami or an
eva build kit ofc). but once we walked inside and wandered a bit, i found
the best thing ever. retro video game stores!!!!! i won't
bore you with the details, but i ended up purchasing a handful of games! i got
my first dreamcast game, and 3 nes titles. i've been keeping an
eye out for specific dc games, and i was super lucky to find
space channel 5 while sorting through bins ( ✧Д✧). for the nes, i
got kirby's adventure for myself, paperboy for my mom, and the legend of
zelda for my dad. i'm excited to go home and test them out!
