It’s Monday! That means it’s time for you to tell me about your week. ((how last week turned out, what you’re doing this week, either one)). @ me anything!

Remember how short my update was last week? This week it’s even shorter because I have been doing exactly one thing this past week: playing The Secret World. It’s Golden Week in-game, so there are nonstop world bosses and double AP boosts, so I’ve been running my secondary toon into the ground trying to get her fully leveled. Whoops.

This is what a responsible adult looks like, ya’ll. I guess life’ll return to normal after the event ends tomorrow.

Responsible adulthood is overrated. For example, I spent most of the day today not studying for uni and trying to catch up on the writing goal I set for myself this year I’m insanely behind but oh well and rereading Les Misérables in English, which I have not done, since I only owned the French version until now. It turns out everyone dies in French or in English, which is depressing.

And, in lieu of wasting more of my life on this blue hellsite, I spent too much time writing creatively instead of academically. That said, writing creatively is a great way, it turns out, to start off strong and peter out pretty quickly into hating everything. I did have some good ideas, however, which is good since I’m almost in rewrites of the first draft. (The goal was originally to finish by the end of the year, which I think should be pretty doable.)

Novels are fun, except when they’re not.

Additionally, America is weird. I’m visiting family and studying abroad lol I’m not studying for a year, and it is not at all how I expected. The most notable difference, I must say, is that in Europe a 20-min drive will take you out of the country, and in America it takes you to the next town over. Is it always like this? Surely not. My experiences are limited, however, to New York and the rural, rural south, so I might not be the best judge of this country. The food is not as good, I will say. (Once one has had Belgium chocolate, normal chocolate is ruined pretty much forever.) 

And, since this my first time doing this, and this seems to be in order: you’re awesome and this fandom is the nicest, most welcoming place on this aforementioned blue hellsite that I have ever joined, and I am so glad that I read those books and found these people. Which is all your fault, honestly. I blame you for all of it.

“Responsible adulthood is overrated” YES, THANK YOU

I’ve never read Les Mis, but anything where tons of people die is A-OK in my book. :D

Congrats on getting writing done! And yes, hating everything seems to be a necessary step in the process, good luck with that. Push through & everything will be okay again.

“Weird” feels like an understatement for America. Everything’s too big here, from the states to the cities to the homes to the portions. Ha! But yeah, it can take hours on the road just to get out of the state. I know we have some Texans around here who could probably put a better number to it. Study abroad is such an amazing experience, though!

Whaaat, you don’t like Hershey’s chocolate? ((Kidding, that stuff is sweet plastic.)) I don’t think I’ve ever tried Belgium chocolate. I really liked the chocolate we ate in Kuwait, probably because it had more flavor to it? But I can’t remember where Kuwait brought it in from. Hm.

Thanks for taking a chance on the books! We’re glad you’re here with us :D
