10/11/22 - another day, another dollar, another war, another tower

I haven't blogged since early August. So much has happened since then. Where do I even start?

Well, work has slowed down. My job went from being open every day to just being open on weekends, so I only work three days a week. My former ride is also now closed for the season, so I'm in a completely new environment. It felt really weird at first watching all the people I knew over the summer leave, whether being local people going back to school or international people going back home. There was such a radical change seemingly overnight and it really felt weird seeing my peers become a completely different group of people within just a few weeks. But now, I'm pretty happy in my new ride. Everybody is so nice and it turns out a few people are a lot more like me than I realized before. The only problem now is the weather. God damn, it's getting cold.

College has also started back up. I'm a month into the semester now, which feels weird to say. Time has both flown by and slowed to a crawl. I can't believe that summer was already a month ago, but on the other hand it feels like I've been in school forever again. I'm making a lot of new friends and it's so exciting to be able to be around new people. Especially since, and this might be mean, but I like them a lot more than my older friends. It's been a good semester so far.

Tonight was pretty cool because I got to spend a good amount of time with friends, and then I got to escape to the campus zen room and watch anime. I love it in this room, and I'm actually writing this blog from the zen room right now. I watched new episodes of My Hero Academia, Bocchi the Rock, and Spy x Family. Bocchi the Rock I'm especially stoked on right now, that's a new series and the first episode is incredible. This is going to be a fun blog to look back on in a few months when that show is done. I have some old private diary entries written when I was watching Wonder Egg Priority for the first time, and they are *so* much fun to read back on now.

I'm also watching another show so far, called Do it Yourself. That one is super fun and charming. Other shows coming up that I want to watch are Chainsaw Man, To Your Eternity, and Urusei Yatsura. We'll see how it goes though. This past season I watched Call of the Night and Lycoris Recoil, both of which have become some of my favorite anime shows. Alongside those shows came second seasons of Shadows House (which was incredible) and Classroom of the Elite (pretty good too but I fell back halfway through and have yet to catch up). That's been my anime habits recently I guess.

In terms of music, I've been listening to The Beach Boys an absurd amount still. Other new artists I've checked out in recent times have been The White Stripes and The Beatles. Yes, it took me this long to listen to The Beatles. I'm also listening to Jewel a lot recently, who I actually was listening to at this time a year ago but fell out of in favor of The Beach Boys taking over my listening habits. My song of the day is Jewel's Sometimes it Be that Way. A song she recorded live and put on her album This Way as a bonus track, but honestly it's one of the best songs on the album. I really love it.

I want to blog more. I hope I keep this up. I just peeked at some of the older blogs I have on here and it really is crazy to see just where I was and what I was doing just a year and a half ago, since that was so recent but feels so long ago. That's something I really want my Spacehey blog to be. Somewhat of a time capsule of my life, where I can peek in one, five, ten, fifty years into the future and see exactly what I was doing back then and how good or bad I was doing. I hope it brings back good memories. I hope I'm happy with what I'm doing now when I grow up.

Love and Mercy,
