Today, I had one of the days of all time.
I've decided to start writing with more structure, on paper. I write a lot, but I don't often write with much structure, choosing to write whatever comes to mind at any given time without much order or thought for positioning or, well, structure. It ends up being mostly a word salad or random lists of things.
Mind you, I find this very enjoyable, but I do feel that it lacks a certain... Feel to it. I'm not sure.
I decided to go and write things in a more structured way, today.
I wrote a list of what I did today, roughly, and I came to the realization that I didn't do much! Now, I did know that, beforehand, as I did live this day first-hand, but it still hit me a little.
OK, so, I ate today. I don't even want to write what I ate, but let it be known it wasn't healthy. Calorie-wise, I think it was fine, but it was not what I was supposed to eat, I'll tell you that much.
I played Hearthstone, a little bit, Battlegrounds, specifically. It was actually lots of fun. Just 5 games, I think, maybe 6, but I did reach 7000+ rating! For the first time ever! My brother and I actually spoke about this not so long ago. He said that, despite me being the more avid played of the two, he actually held the higher all-time rating between the both of us. Now, I did when we spoke and still do consider myself the better player, but he had that over me. Now, he doesn't! HAHA! Take that, punk! I love my brother very much, and he congratulated me for achieving this goal.
8000+ next?! Who knows. I intend to keep playing, see where I can get.
I also did a little bit of Japanese, today. I haven't done Japanese in a while, actually, but I felt somewhat inspired, one could say. Watched a couple of videos about mechanical pencils from a Japanese channel, and then read a few paragraphs of a webnovel on Syosetu. That... Doesn't sound like much, I know, but I do also intend to listen to a podcast episode, as well. Then again, that's still not much. I don't think I need to do anything, so I'm fine doing very little. I'm glad I managed to do something, though. I learned a few words, which I think is nice: 白々しい and 豪奢. I doubt I'd actually be able to recognize the second one, but I actually have a mnemonic for it! Over here, there's a famous TV presenter and host called Goucha and he's known to be magnificent. Well, at least that's my mental image of the man. It works! I've been thinking about him a little, these past couple of days, no idea why. Maybe I saw him somewhere and his name stuck in my brain, for some reason.
I also wrote in my notes that I want a lock for my backpack. My backpack has those little holes in the zippers that you can put locks through, but I don't actually have locks to put in them. Not a big deal, I'd say, but it is one of those things that I should probably just have, in case I ever want to use them.
I'll have to go to the University, tomorrow. I said I quit my PhD, which I did, but I didn't, actually. I told my supervisors that I wanted to, but things haven't been moving forward. Stuff needs to get signed, and whatnot, and it seems it's going to take a while... Tomorrow, I'll have to go do some stuff in the lab. It's really annoying. I'm not sure they're taking advantage of me, in this situation, I do feel a bit bad about the circumstances in which I announced my forfeit, so I don't really mind doing it, but... I won't let this go on much longer. I do have a meeting "scheduled" for Thursday, where hopefully I can get this sorted out. Hopefully. I need this done ASAP so I can get on with my damn life, damn it! We'll see, I guess.
About my writing. I wrote in pencil, mostly, but I did also use my pen a little bit. I did not enjoy it. I don't mind writing in pen that much, but this pen is way too thick, especially coming from the pencil. My pencil uses 0.5 mm lead, and I have no clue what the pen is, it's a BIC Cristal, so I assume it's 1.0. Too thick! Needs to be thinner. Am I using these words right? Thick, thin... I feel like they don't fit the context, but I hope I'm getting my meaning across.
I feel like my capital letters are a little iffy. I'm happy with how they look, for the most part, but I'm a little conflicted about whether I want them to connect to the rest of the word or not. On one hand, I don't want them to connect because not connecting allows them to be more flourished and cute. I like that. On the other hand, connecting makes sense. However, a big issue with connecting is that, if one of them connects, all of them should connect. I don't want only a few letters to connect to the rest of the word, while others are over there dangling at the start of their sentences. Some letters are really easy to connect, like L or M, but others, like B or D are much harder. I feel like connecting makes some letters look really weird, but like not connecting makes the words in general look a little disjointed - admittedly, because they are disjointed...
Decisions, decisions. As they say.
