diary (may 2021)

Can't sleep, woke up around 4:45 a.m. Couldn't stop thinking about the movie "Lilo and Stitch" so I'm watching it right now while trying to work on my last assignment of the semester.

Had split pea soup last night in a half-packed up apartment with E. and K. Saying goodbye didn't feel definite, I think we all know that at some point will meet up again.

I might have to head back to my parents' house soon to clean out my room before they move most of their stuff to the house they just bought in Florida. That's been a fucking trip, imagining my parents moving to Florida for retirement. They still have one more year to go but they are in the process of selling their house and getting an apartment for that in-between time. I'm dreading the trip but it has to be done.

Had to cancel session 0 with the group because S. and I are hanging out with E. and K. one more time before they move back to NYC.

I am re-playing BOTW, on Master Mode now which is a bit scary. It honestly does add quite a bit of challenge. I don't think it takes away from the chill attitude I approach the game with but it just means I have to be more strategic.

This weekend will be focused on writing my info org and access paper. The end of the semester is so close that I can't help but almost shrug my responsibilities...

Last time I was on here I was very excited about a new D&D campaign, but two sessions in the DM had to step away so we couldn't continue the story. I went through a grieving process as I realized I wouldn't get to play my character Rexes Sola anytime soon but the other players in that campaign got together to start a new one. We're having session 0 tomorrow-- back to high fantasy, I'm going to play a dragonborn druid. I'm still working out backstory details but excited to get started!

Been listening to the Unprepared Casters podcast, which I'll start suggesting to people who want an easy D&D play podcast because the arcs are short and pretty rules-light.

I've got two more papers to finish before the end of the semester: one for info org and access, the other for my reference class. The reference one will be pretty easy to do so I'm focusing on info org and access first since it's due on Sunday. Got a doctor's appointment today so that'll be fun... talking about the mood stabilizers I've been on. Overall I think they've helped take the edge off so we'll see what happens.

Been gone for a while. The semester picked up, I'm a couple of days away from the end. Mental health is doing alright.
