It's been a bit sense I wrote to this journal! This summer has been hectic as hell for me, as a lot of personal shit decided to crop up and cause an undue amount of stress. It's mostly been dealt with now though, so I'll be alright.

Today I got to do some training for my new job as a student tutor, which I'm looking forward to! Everyone seems very nice so far too, so that's always a plus. Monday also marks the start of the fall semester for me. I don't really have much else to add, but I expect posts to slow down considerably once school starts again.

End of Semester and Dracula Daily

Yesterday was officially the end of the spring semester for me! I managed to finish my projects quite a bit earlier than I thought I would! Thus I am FREE and waiting quite impatiently for Tears of the Kingdom to release lol. Unfortunately will have to get the game digitally, but that's fine.

I've also decided to do Dracula Daily this year, as I missed out on it last year. I've never read the book before, nor do I know much about the original story, so it's been interesting to read it so far. The old(ish) English is dense but actually amusing to read, albeit because I'm immature as fuck and giggle whenever they call a rooster a cock. It has been enjoyable in its own way, though, and getting it "live" in small chunks certainly helps ease the denseness of the prose.

Minor Site Update

After a bit of tinkering, I've updated my personal site (https://your-local-grubdog.neocities.org/). It now has tabs on the hoard page as to be more condensed. It also has the option to toggle to a lighter color palate, though you have to manually set it each time you go to a different page. As of now I'm not interested in fixing this or otherwise tinkering with the layout, as I instead want to start planning my own layouts and stop relying so much on templates. Templates are WONDERFUL, do not get me wrong, but being able to code it myself will (A) let me make it the exact way I want it and (B) let me always know exactly what various functions do.

Idk when I'll be able to do that, however.

For the past few weeks I've been working on a neocities site. Today, I finally feel as if it is far enough along to share! It is not done, and never will be "done", as I intend to keep adding to it over time. It includes things like some writings, a collection of cool links, web shrines, and more! You can find it at your-local-grubdog.neocities.org

In other news, I was playing Pikmin Bloom today and...!

An image from pikmin bloom stating that I had hit 10,040 steps on April the 13th 2023

I hit 10k steps :D Nothing huge, just fun. Glad this game is getting me to exercise more too lol

I'll end this off with a pikmin reading a book upside down because it's so cute how dumb pikmin can be.

Tech Scare

My new laptop got some water damage :( it rained this morning, and my "water resistant" backpack got SOAKED. Laptop was damaged along with several books. Thankfully my friend was able to help me repair it, and will sell me a back-up laptop for cheap as well. Unfortunately, my old laptop's speakers no longer work and I'm supposed to immediately turn it off if the battery starts to get hot. Right now I plan to use this one mostly for school for as long as I can get away with it, and the new one will stay safe at home for the foreseeable future.

I should be asleep but uh shhhh it's fine. Anyways, I finished and submitted my two pieces for the Inky Paws Zine :D I'm very happy with how they came out, given how hard it is for me to properly describe the experiences I tried to write about. So yeah, go me! ^^

Grandma's New Laptop

Got a new laptop around a week ago, and it's been great! Sense I don't need my old one any more, I decided to give it to my grandmother. She hasn't used a computer in eight years, so I'm sitting here helping her as I type this up. Hopefully the way that I set it up for her will work for her. I also wrote her up a little document she can reference in the future if she forgets anything.

Here's hoping that it all goes well! :D
