Entry 8: REVAMP + School!!!!
Posted on: January 17th, 2026
I redesigned the website! I thought that it needed a new look, but I didn't want to stray too far away from the original design. I haven't updated the rest of the site to fit the new look yet, the other pages should be transitioned to this new design soon. Give me some feedback! The main thing I can't decide on, is how long I want the header to be. Is it too short now? I'm considering changing how posts look too. Or, should I leave it alone and keep it like this? Let me know! Also, the FL-Chan's are placeholders for now, so don't expect them to stay there.
Hi! I hope you guys haven't missed me too much!
It's been a while since I've posted here... I've been busy with getting ready for school. The new semester started on Wednesday for me, and I've adjusted back into the college life and not being a lazy bum like I was over winter break. Winter break suckeddddddddddd... so I'm glad to be going outside more and doing productive things, instead of being stuck home dealing with whatever BS goes on with my family. I wish I got a job over winter break or I did anything that I was supposed to do like getting my drivers license, but alas, I did not. All I did was go to New York a million times, hang out with my friends once, and play Half-Life and the expansions it has. Livin' like a chud loser...
I had five classes signed up for this semester! They were, American History II, Microeconomics, African-American History, Intro to Computer Science, and Criminal Law & Procedure. I had to take Intro to CS because I need a techology credit for the general education part of my degree. Well, I have to do that class in the summer time now because apparently I actually CAN'T take five classes. Something about my financial aid not covering all five, and I don't really want to waste hundreds of dollars on a class I can take for free over the summer. Bummer! I also had to drop African-American History, because there was a grand total of four people registered for that class. There isn't even an instructor registered for that class either. I went to that class on Thursday, and I was the only person who was in that room. I waited like twenty minutes for another soul to arrive, but I gave up, left, and dropped the class. I need to take a 200-level history course for my history degree, which was the reason I chose African-American History. There are only a handful of 200-level history courses, and the only ones left that I could take were either Women in History, or History of World War II. I ended up taking Women in History because that one has less seats and was at less of a risk of getting cancelled. I am so glad that class is an online one, because I do not want to be the only dude taking that class. I'd look like those guys who drink matcha and wear wired earbuds and all that other performative shit just so that they could look cooler even though it's all a performance for them.
My schedule, after all those changes, looks like this. On Mondays and Wednesdays, I have Microeconomics from 10:10 AM to 11:15 AM. I know I know.. it's really stupid that I have to go in for an one hour class, and only that! It's a total waste of gas and a waste of my time to be honest. It takes longer to get there and come back, then the class in total. LOL! On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I have American History II from 9:35 AM to 11:00 AM. I have an hour or so until my second class starts, which is AWESOME! After my hour break, I have Criminal Law & Procedure from 12:10 PM to 2:15 PM! If I was able to take five classes, I would have had another class on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. However, because I dropped those classes, I now have the day of Friday completely off and free! Pretty rad.
My classes this week were fine for the most part. It was just introductions, so I can't really judge them properly yet. I'll let you guys know what I think of them when some time has passed in the semester. I do have one comment about my Microecon class. It feels spiritually evil. Like, the first thing my professor told me when I entered the room was that, to succeed in this class, you need to abandon all your morals, and have the mindset of maximizing profits no matter the cost. He said it was just for this class, and he said that he knows that might be a hard way to think since humans are like you know empathetic for the most part and that ideal goes against human nature. That's a conversation for another time though! Also, in my American History II class, there was this girl who sat next to me who left an impression in my mind. No one else in my classes were really that interesting so far. I was trying my hardest not to giggle at her because she kept falling asleep and waking up. She reminded me of the sleepy cat gif! I think that was funny to me because I had like 3 hours of sleep going into that class and I was doing better than her. That class was boring as shit I can't blame her because I myself was also trying not to fall asleep. I'm gonna try and talk to her on Tuesday because I think it's good to have at least one or two people that you know in each of your classes incase you need help, or others need your help. My Piccolo-Lover advice for the day is, when you're helping others learn the material better, you're also learning and helping yourself, you know! Just don't let yourself be taken advantage of! And like.. actually try and teach them.. instead of like giving them the answers.. cuz then they aren't actually learning.
I do have more to say, but I think I'll end the blog entry here for the day. If I say everything I want to say now, then how can I come up with an entry tomorrow, right? I'm not going to make longer entries like Entry 7, and I hope this one wasn't that long. Entry 7 itself was actually supposed to be way longer, if you can believe that. I split it up into two or three entries, but I decided that the second part to Entry 7 was overly personal and kind of unnecessary to share, but I do intend to share that stuff one day. My school has a counseling department (not to be confused with a school counsleor, the "people" who like help your educational career and such. People in quotation marks because half of those counselors are lowkey demons sent straight from hell to fuck your day up and make the most bullshit schedules ever.) and I had gone there a few times in November and December, and even though that can't be a proper replacement for an actual therapist, and even though I won't really be attending any future sessions, it did help me a lot. I learned that I have to be more transparent with my thoughts and feelings, which is part of why I decided to make this blog! So, expect more entries.. and more personal shit #soon! Bye for now!
