The way new life makes you feel
I think the delirium of sitting in the same place at the same tiny table since 930am is starting to kick in….hence, the increase in posts and decrease in productivity lol.
Anyway, I’ve made Eon Cafe my home all day for two days straight…and staring at my work gets tiring, so I often find myself gazing outside to see the gorgeous sunny weather tease me or people watching. If you...
WatchI miss YM and those little punks haha (JK of course..they’re amazing kids)!!!! I haven’t quite figured out how to incorporate it into my new schedule this spring…but hopefully, I can make a comeback sometime soon when things settle down.
Sigh…I really do have a love/hate relationship with school. Miserable with it. Miserable without it T___T lol.
(P.S. N2S…I...
