Diary
2025/05/15
Wow, it's been nearly a year since I've written a public diary entry...
Needless to say, I have been busy, but not with anything interesting enough to write a diary entry about!
Since we spoke last I completed my 2024 summer internship that I wrote about in my previous journal entry, did two semesters of school, and took on part-time work at the same office where I worked last summer while studying. Now my life just feels like work-study, work-study-chores, eat, sleep, shit, do laundry, cook, repeat. Not to mention the fact that I'm getting ready to move house in a little under a month.
Last summer, both my cats passed away. They were both pretty old dudes; one was 19 and the other was 21. They were around for most of my life so it's weird and sad not having cats anymore. I miss them a lot. I have been considering making a webpage with their photos so I have something on here to remember them by.
I just finished my third year of my degree and am at the end of the second week of this year's spring-summer internship. This is at a company that I have had my eye on for awhile; they will pay for some of my courses and certifications in the industry I'm going into, so I want to get hired by them once I graduate. The job itself is fine so far, even though I feel like I don't know how to do anything yet. Most of my coworkers seem generally nice or at least civil, but there's that high-school-like vibe of judgement that seems typical of office culture. We'll see how it goes, and if I end up hating it, well, it's only for the summer.
Enough of the depressing stuff! It's spring! I am starting to see a higher number of cool bugs when I go outside! There is colour in the world again and I feel somewhat alive!
Desires for summer: I wanna revamp the original characters section of my website and give all my guys detailed profile pages. I also want to write more in here because it makes me feel happy or at least like I've accomplished something. I want to swim and go for a lot of walks and maybe ride my bike for once. I want to draw some personal art pieces and sell the rest of the characters I designed for my gacha. I want to stop giving a shit about what people think about me because the majority of them don't think much in general anyway. This ties into the fact that I want to stop having external validation be a factor when I make art. I no longer care if my stuff is good!! If I die before I write a comic or a book what is the point of any of this shit!!
So I guess an unoriginal, rough, derivative work might be coming down the pipeline. Maybe something will finally show up on my "writing" webpage after 2 years of having it.
I also want to show even more of my art on here. Even old and bad stuff. So the site will continue to expand and become more full, and I will keep trying to improve at coding and hopefully finally lock in and learn javascript in a way that matters...
Until next time.
