Woohoooooo

So, I know I posted about this fairly recently, but I'll repeat it again:
I recently transferred to a different online school and switched my major to American History.

Second day of history class, and I have already crammed more information into my brain than I think I learned throughout the entirety of middle school and high school. So, yay me?

The courses I'm taking are accelerated, which means I'm essentially taking an entire class in the span of 2 months, so needless to say there is a lot of information being thrown at me at once.

I'm rather exhausted and my brain hurts, but I'm not having a bad time. Currently learning about post-Civil War, and more specifically working on reading through a gigantic chapter on Westward Expansion.

Had to pick a final project topic from a list of about 6, and ended up selecting the Women's Liberation Movement, which will be quite interesting to learn about because I don't actually know all that much about it.

Honestly, I'm still really excited, which is good because I'm not usually very excited about much. I can't wait until I get to take a class on early America / American Revolution, since that's my favorite. I'm from New England and I grew up taking trips to Boston to walk the Freedom Trail.
Sadly, since my major is American History I probably won't get to learn as much about the French Revolution and early Icelandic history as I might like (my other favorites), but oh well. I'm enjoying what I am learning about, which is more than what I can say for when my major was programming or hospitality...And yay, no art requirement.

FFXIV again!

Playing FFXIV again!

I soloed Dzemael Darkhold and Autumn Vale on my Scholar today so I could get access to apartments, and I am now the proud owner of one.

I don't have it open to the public (yet), but I am so happy to be the owner of Apartment 12 in Lavender Beds, Ward 3, Adamantoise!

Woohoo, now I need furniture...I feel like I'm playing Animal Crossing. I have like three pieces of furniture.

Not really feeling up to healing just yet, but I have been leveling my Machinist a bit. Level 40.


I quit raiding in WoW. I found it was causing me too much anxiety during the week, and I don't feel like I was keeping up on my artifact weapon very well. Ultimately, my mental health is more important than a game, and I was unable to focus well due to the anxiety it was causing me.

So, I've swapped to FFXIV for a bit in order to distance myself from it for a bit.
