Truly has been a while. Predictions: future wait times will definitely be longer. Alright, first of all, let me explain why the rate of blogs has suddenly dropped to the ground. You see, apparently the number of COVID cases has increased again lately, and so my mom asked me to stay at home for a while, so that's what I did. It's a bit of a shame though, I was actually liking going in presence. Socialising isn't that bad after all, you know. In any case, I write most of my blogs when I have nothing else to do and allow my thoughts to run wild, and these circumstances occur mostly when I'm away from home, because here I very often find myself listening to music or whatnot.
Anyway, that was the long answer to why I haven't been writing any blogs.
Hmm, there were a few things I wanted to talk about too... Right, like why I'm here now.
You see, I'm not exactly a model student. This is my second week in a row staying at home, and while it has the advantage of allowing me to sleep longer and thus not transform into a panda, it has the drawback of allowing me to sleep longer and thus not transform into a panda. I wouldn't have minded being a panda, pandas are cute, especially cubs. The other problem is that, well, I'm here right now while I should have been following a lecture. I got used to sleeping 8+ hours every night, which is quite the improvement on the days I went to Uni, but, umm, I like sleeping a little too much? Yeah, I overslept tonight, so I missed the first hour. Then because it is necessary for the professor to manually allow me in the meeting and he was probably too busy to do that, I missed all three hours of today's Probability lecture. Dammit.
Whatever, this won't be the first lecture I'm skipping out on, and I certainly don't plan to make it the last.
I'll probably regret this decision at some point, but hey, that's a problem future me has to deal with, not current me. Hehe.
There were a few other things I wanted to talk about, and I remember only one of them right now, but I'd like to save that for last.
My pillows are uncomfortable (é_è)... I feel like my neck actually hates them... Also, my nights are taking a turn for the restless. Well, they've mostly been restless for about a year now, but it's like they're changing directions. Things are more oriented towards social situations now. I'm not gonna explain it 'cause this isn't the place for that (in fact I'm probably not gonna explain it anywhere and simply forget about it at some point), but basically while the standard "nightmares" are continuing, more stuff is added on top of it, different stuff. Stuff based on social concerns. Alright, that's it for that.
WOW, I just discovered that by right-clicking, we have access to a lot of emojis ╰(*°▽°*)╯YAYYYYYY
Well, since it's 11:00 and the next lecture starts in about 15 minutes, I'm gonna wrap things up.
Now then, the last thing I wanted to talk about: TCTW. I finished the first falling leaf around about a week ago. So, my thoughts on it? Frankly, the last strophe was kinda rushed, since I had decided on it a while ago. In fact, I liked it so much on the very first version of the poem that I didn't modify it. It feels off though, because basically every last verse has been thought of for hours upon hours on end, so just writing these last two verses without going through the same process felt wrong. I hope it isn't. Also, I won't be posting the poem here, as I decided that I wouldn't look at it for a month, so that I'll be able to look at it more objectively once I do. Why am I not just copy-pasting it without looking then?
Simply, because I can't. I think it's good to use the computer to write, it's much easier and faster, I mean that's why typing machines were invented in the first place, but I think that's only true for regular stories. If it's for poems, I definitely like writing it by hand on paper more. Not only do I fully see the road that has been taken, the changes that have been made, but it just feels better. The process of writing a poem takes place in my mind anyway, not on paper. I spend all my time just sitting there, thinking of rhymes, of verses, trying them out through an elimination process. Only when I feel thy're good enough do I write them down, but even then they're not final. Ah, classes will start soon so I'll go.
Well then, that was one really long blog, see ya
