sapphicfairyoracleI'm still here, I promise.
Spring semester of college kicked my ass. Rental hunting was exhausting. But I survived. And in just a few weeks, summer is here. And it is the eve of Beltane. A lovely sabbath to journal and reflect on for us witches.
Let's cut up the TL;DR.
I was rental hunting since November. Landed an apartment in March! It feels great to have my own space. It does suck that I have a limit on pets and they ask for an expensive pet fee. The audacity of pet fees when kids that ruin stuff are right there!
I wanted to dabble into roleplaying. But it seems college will occupy my time and I just want to unwind with books or my games after work and studies. Was a little bummed out that I was unfriended on plurk by a potential rp partner. But to be fair, I was inactive the entire Winter and Spring season; just coming out of my hibernation. And I have no guarantee if I will keep being busy with classes. So. It's totally understandable. Can always write fanfiction and draw my favorite couples, right? Might even delete plurk again since eh. who genuinely uses it outside of roleplaying?
Update on the vet med program. I dropped out. In hindsight, I should've done it at the college and not through something all-online like Penn Foster, a program that's already known for vet clinics turning away students (for externship) to not have to deal with Penn Foster. I regret the fact that I could've took the year to get my lab cores to start the vet program later. Hell, I would've been able to take vet med classes last year if I just took the required lab cores in the fall of 2024. Probably would've been graduating THIS year had I gone through the college's program. I was just impatient and didn't want to wait a year. But there's no sense in regretting and stressing about the what I could've done, right?
So I scrambled for a program I can start right away in the college. One that I think might help me on my hunt for moving abroad. I went into Business with a focus on Administration. Hoping something in Europe will hire me after I receive this degree. Hoping to finish it by end of next year or early 2028. I'm even taking summer classes to help graduate sooner. I'll be taking my other two finals over the weekend or next week (depends on how soon I wanna take them.) Taking advantage of the slight break before going into Summer classes.
Really into playing Tomodachi Life that came out a day before my birthday. It was a nice present that cheered me up from a lonely birthday of mostly taking myself out. But it is ok. I got to see sweeet kitties at a cat cafe and got cute clothes at a mall. There was cinnamon sugar soft pretzels, too. I might even dedicate some posts to my screenshots of what's going on in my Tomodachi Life island. It's been so fun making my favorite characters, OCs and randomly putting in people like Caseoh. (a streamer I personally enjoy.) I encourage my viewers to share their islands, too. Making all these miis are making me rekindle with old interests like Pokemon and Black Butler. However, my interpretations on the characters will be different than when I was between 17-21. I am itching to write some fanfiction. Might even write them as Tomodachi Life AUs where they have no memory of canon or something. We will see where that imagination goes.
As the evening approaches, I am reflecting on how productive this part of the year was. I'm proud that it's been coming along. I think under the Flower Moon (which will be tomorrow.), I will see that I've been feeding what I need to feed. I am releasing the stresses and going to recalibrate and re-focus on what I spiritually need. I'm sure my spirit team/spirit guides would want me to rest and have some fun or do something pleasant. On Beltane eve, I will rest, clean my altar, reflect and journal. Maybe even treat myself to a Chili's triple dipper. And on Beltane, I will light a candle, make offerings to my spirit team and the Fae, release and manifest, and make a comfort food I always wanted to make. I will share that joy on Beltane with my spirit team.
So. I shall enjoy my triple dippers, let it feed my soul with simple joys, focus on what I have accomplished this far, be hopeful for what I will accomplish next, be grateful I am here for another year (as my birthday came and passed this month), and just Live. Just Feel. Do what I can even as I am tired.
I am grateful to meet everyone I met to this point. I look forward to who I will meet the rest of the year.
