I may have left this site to rot. Anyway, SPM is coming up, and I might be doomed but whatever. Nothing has been going on lately, perhaps I'm relaxing too much despite the impending doom that's about to dawn on me. I've been trying to regulate my emotions better and keep things at a pace to not burden myself and cause me more problems than I already do. Honestly, I’m glad I’ve made friends who don’t bring negative influences into my life, and I’m really grateful for that.

A lovely friend of mine (Livia) gave me a book titled Surrounded by Idiots, and I'd say it's definitely an interesting book that gave me a deeper understanding of people. It opened my eyes to why certain people are the way they are and why they continue to act that way. The book’s explanation of personality types, rooted in behavioural science, made me reflect on my interactions with others and how our differences sometimes cause misunderstandings. I even started noticing stuff about them that I never thought about before, which is kind of cool. It’s not just a fun book, it’s actually really helpful for understanding people better.

Next, I recently talked with Kuumin about an idea for an electrocution device to help students stop procrastinating (this mostly stems for the fact that my dumb butt just can't seem to get off my butt and study), I thought it was a pretty cool idea, but Kuumin pointed out a lot of the potential issues with it. He definitely had valid points, unfortunately. Still, I mean, come on, a device that zaps you into being productive sounds kind of awesome, right? Anyway, it’s an interesting concept I’d love to work on, even if I feel like I might not be cognitively equipped to pull it off.

I’d like to talk more, but I think I should head to bed now. Maybe I’ll talk more about my friends or a game I’m still obsessed with another time.

Making some pretty good progress on this site, and I’m quite happy. I won’t have this freedom for much longer, though.

I realize I should've done this sooner and experimented more when I had the chance, but alas, you can't rewind time.

Finally got my butt up to experiment with something on this site. I'd say it's quite fun, although infuriating at times—just like life.
