I’ve taken a little bit of a break. It wasn’t an intentional break, but it was a break from this writing just the same. I don’t really need to excuse that, but if some reader is annoyed, I do apologize (that even means you, future-self).
Things around here have been really busy. I just got done working an awful break with bosses who loved to make little children cry. Money is good though, and I’ve been treating myself to little presents ever since. It’s nice. Then there was school. After five weeks of vacation, it’s hard to get back into the groove. The classes are fine (especially since I’m not taking anything math-related), but it’s still work. School will always be work, work that you don’t really want to do. Before anyone argues with me, there really is some work that I want to do. There are a few things that really worry me, too. Can I really handle these two majors that I’m considering? Is it a problem that I’m not taking any Computer Science classes this semester? Which Linguistic class should I take next? And then there’s the matter of my job, I have to find a new one that I can use to earn that valuable green stuff while I’m here, so that I might buy myself something else.
Speaking of something else, I have a lot of nice things. I got a lot of more nice things this past winter, mostly in the way of books and movies. Movies are my secret vice. If I could watch them all day, I probably would. I really love the idea of books, but in practice, I find they’re nicer to look at. I’m taking the 52 challenge this year, though. I’m hoping to make a sizable dent in my bookshelf– that is, the books on it. I just finished two, so those will make good things to write about!
Finally, there’s this site itself. I’ve done a little bit of work with it, and as you can see, I’ve reverted back to one of my favorite templates. I’ve added a recent photo section and I will do my best to actually populate that. The backend has received optimization, upgrades, and all that jazz. It’s pretty much like starting new, which is exciting because its the new year. I’m a little late, but I’m back for new beginnings.
