Word of the Day: 未練
miren - lingering attachment, regret, reluctance to let go
I feel the caffeine working on me. I am almost too buzzed right now. It is only 8am and I am just feeling like going full throttle. I technically don't have to rush as much as I am but, I feel like I can't waste the hours I am given.
I think it is also because instead of listening to calm lofi or instrumental stuff, I am listening to Asian pop and hyper things like that.
It also might be the timer. Knowing I have to complete tasks to add time to it makes you value the little bit you got. Like some kind of time vampire.
I figured out that I can save time in the week by just wearing 2 outfits. I alternate between two campuses for my classes so, I can wear the same outfit twice, one to the first campus and again at the other.
Not that I lost interest in Tarot but, I feel like it is becoming less relevant to me: I don't have a love life, I am not as connected to ether anymore, or at least not in the way I was before, and I just point blank don't have the time.
I think I am going to cook a big batch of spaghetti noodles so I can just nuke some for Mentaitko pasta for a few days.

Sorry, I am just thinking of all the ways to save time this week.
I also realized, I should've put a lot more pictures in my stories. I will try to do that more from now on. I am sort of a visual person so it helps to have pictures to maintain attention and also understanding.
I am slightly considering going back to other stories and inputting pictures where I know they'll fit.
I just took a shower because one thing on my todo list was shaving my armpits. I love taking a shower. It is one of the luxuries I have living in this apartment because, I don't pay for water. I do however, have to pay for electricity which is due right now.
I went and paid my two credit cards and the electric bill so, that's nice. Yay internet payments.
That 6 shots of espresso is making me too hyper, I need to drink some water.
My next time-specific task is to buy weed but I have to wait until the shop opens. It is still early in the morning so, I had to occupy my time until then.
I decided to make some Migas because I am just too hyper right now and I feel like if I metabolize something I'll calm down a bit.
My mom is always on about saving money but, I have just enough to get by even with some of my impulse buying. I am actually pretty good at budgeting so, I don't know why she is worried.
I just noticed that my knees are actually very dry to the point of flaking so, later this evening I might need to actually sit down and do a beauty regiment sort of thing. I need to do that anyway for school tomorrow, I look like crud if I am honest.
I forgot that this website has challenges. I know it is a nice idea to participate since it might get you extra funds but, I sort of write more for therapeutic reasons and getting any money at all is just a bonus.
I am actually a pretty good writer when I try, but these stories aren't really me trying, just getting out whatever is in my head so I can function during the day.
