The Unintentional Hiatus

For the past month (give a few days) I was gradually building up the parts in what is now a published Winter 2016 Final Thoughts anime post and I have to say, it took a surprising amount out of me. There was never a solid half hour session of me sitting down and giving it my all, but instead sneaking in the paragraph or two between queue times for League of Legends or during lunch. It was an interesting feeling, to not exhaust myself by writing for two hours, but as we can all see from the unintentional hiatus, not the best method of writing a long post.

Updates updates updates. After reading the latest post before the anime post, I realize that I never made the announcement here. During the spring break I had braces done, or well, the top brackets done. Maybe the thought slipped my mind or I was unconsciously trying to stash it away, but it happened. It's fitting that I tell you this now because this Saturday I'll be going in to get the bottom brackets in. The braces aren't particularly flattering and they've made the previously simple task of eating a chore, but I hope that things will get better as time passes (i.e. I won't feel pain when I eat).

Stopped trying to climb after a huge losing streak in League of Legends. I've been sitting at Gold II since and haven't been spending nearly as much time on the game as I used to, so I have deteriorated in the mechanical aspect (bittersweet).

Our school ultimate team has played a few games now and we're getting into the grove of things, but far from being any good. I think I have a decent grasp and overhead of the game, but now I need to focus on my personal skills (especially my atrocious flick). I would like to become a handler sometime between now and next year, however there's a lot I need to learn before getting even close to that.

AP exams are creeping up on me (holy there's already less than a month) and I need to start studying for my exams. This year I've made the choice to take the chemistry and psychology exam, so we'll see how that turns out in a matter of a few weeks.

I think that about does it for most of what has been happening in my life. Somewhere along this year I need to go out and get my L, but for now the single thing that I'll be fueling my efforts into are the AP exams. Thanks for reading, and I'll try to post soon.
