i'm officially hired! this will be my first retail job, and i start tomorrow. onboarding was today and all of my managers seemed really nice so i think it will be okay. luckily, i'm starting before the summer rush so i should have a slow environment to learn in.

i've been going back into my techy yt rabbit hole and god i wish i knew everything rn. i really hope i can learn javascript by the end of the summer, i'd like to have at least one scripting language under my belt. i wanna make videogames!!! and i wanna write random scripts to make stuff easier for me... aughhhh i wanna know Everything right Now

i reeeeeally wanna buy this re-imagined ipod thing also... augfh....

this website's birthday is next week! idk if i'll do anything but i'm thinking about it :3

feeling: untethered

as of a few days ago, i'm officially a high-school graduate! it's quite nice to be moved out of my dorm and back around all of my stuff. though i didn't realize that people give you money so now i have more money than i know what to do with???? this isn't counting the money i saved up from my job last year. maybe i can build a pc but honestly i should probably focus on a stronger laptop. people keep asking me how i feel about graduating, but honestly there isn't much to say. i feel the same as i do all the time, just like on my birthday. i'll be starting college in the fall so... new things are on the way?

as for my high school performance, i graduated with a pretty good act score and gpa and some ap classes under my belt. i think i did well but i can say that i didn't waste all of my teen years for perfect grades which is what i really wanted.

i have a job interview set up for this week! hopefully i get a job... that way i can save all of the graduation money and last year money. i'll use whatever i get now for fleshing out my console collection and fixing/setting up various things around the house (ex: craft center, broken consoles, ethernet)

about the craft center, since joann fabrics is going out of buisness i went to buy some things on sale. i got some scrapbook paper and clothing patterns! i remembered i have a sewing machine, so i'm gonna try to make a swimsuit. i hate buying them from stores cause they're always either expensive, ugly, or both. this way i can choose my fabric and pattern and make something i actually like!!! if this goes well, i may make a fashion page to document more clothes i make. we'll see...

now that i'm home, i have a few things i want to do. i really want to learn soldering to homebrew the rest of my consoles, and begin setting up a homelab. once i get more progress on that i'll probably make a page about it too. at the very least, i want to get my plex server working correctly and rip all of my dvds/blurays. maybe i'll get a nas...?

BACK?
