December 31st, 2024

Final entry of 2024! Wow! I will now have been running this website over 3 seperate years (2023-now), although it hasn't actually been running for 3 years hehe. Right now I'm at my partners house. My new years plans didn't go as planned and I'm semi-upset about it, but I'm fine. I wanted to be at my house for New Years Eve, with my siblings, and we were going to have a party. Then I realized my partner was hosting an event on the 31st (I thought it was the 30th!) and I almost started crying. But then, I was informed that my sister was sent to the psychward literally 5 minutes after. And it was like, well the party isn't happening anyways so it doesn't matter I guess.

I have outlined my new years goals. I did a good job completing them this last year, so I figured I'd make a little outline of how I want next year to go. I wrote out a specific studyplan for Swahili to help me get to A2 in time for my trip to Tanzania. I want to maximize my productivity even more by having an even better sleep schedule & completing my homework the day its assigned. I've started journalling/scrapbooking (I am combining things into one) and have set up my planner. I'd like to listen to more full albums so I set up this page to write about each album I listen to. I'd also like to have a page like this for books, but I haven't finished anything to start a page yet.

I am aiming to use social media less and opt for messaging people individually/on servers more. I have mixed feelings on this one, I may change it. I like social media for the ability to update the 30-ish people who care about me at once. Its not pheasible to message every single person. Although most of my friends joined my discord server, obviously not everyone is going to stay active. so instead I'm just going to shrink my social media usage instead of cutting it out entirely. I'm making a new twitter account to follow only my friends so that theres no one else on my timeline (I'll mute their retweets and such so its ONLY them).

I've been at Magna's since the 27th, having a really fun nice time. I did also add to this after New Years, so I can confidently say we had a good new years. They hosted an event on a dead shooter from 2009, neotokyo, and like 10 of their friends joined. I have never played a shooter before but it seemed pretty simple so I joined too, and I actually kinda enjoyed it. I don't really enjoy the competetive nature of shooters so I doubt I'll get into them after this, but I had fun in this low-pressure setting.

I reaallllyy like Magna. So much. a lot has happened the last few days that has affirmed my decision to date them. They really are perfect to me.
