well would you look at that! it's time once again to check in on my blog. and my, what a busy time it's been!

aside from pouring hours and hours into updating this site (including a masonry implementation on the projects page that took me genuinely forever), i've spent a grand amount of time on both work and schoolwork, and honestly, i don't feel like i've had much of a break aside from a board game date night i had with my partner yesterday. it feels like i'm flying through my to-do list, except that it just keeps refilling with more to do, and my grasp on time keeps slipping away.

and if i even stop to let myself think about all the things i still need to do (including the things i'm not even bothering to put on my to-do list), i'll end up overwhelming and shaming myself past the point of being able to get any of it done. so i just keep moving.

at the very least, i'm keeping myself afloat! i'm still about 7-14 days ahead on my schoolwork, and i'm about on top of my work, though i could probably work ahead if i really wanted to. (i don't really want to.)

i just really need to make sure that i keep taking care of myself. i don't want to get lost in the sauce and lose track of time so much that i'm not sleeping or eating or showering or any of the other things i need to do to be okay. i really should set time aside where i do nothing but rest and play games and be silly. but who has time for that?
