I haven't been updating the site, mostly because I got side tracked and partialy because I am lazy, BUT I have some great life updates!
I went in for my first color match (for my tooth), and have the final color match appointment set for this Friday, after that I just need to get the tooth installed and I'm done until next year (regular cleaning and the likes). I'm excited to finally be done with this and to be able to focus on everything else again.
In unrelated news, I've been going to aquariums with my sister recently! We only went to two, since they were near by, but I have some opinions.
- The Lager Aquarium we went to was nice, was well taken care of, and I enjoyed it a lot, HOWEVER it kinda felt like walking around a mall (it even had a Starbucks, wich was nice. I got a iced lemon bread and apple juice and I loved it!), it didn't have a lot of the personality that I think an aquarium should have until the second half of the tour (somewhere around the jelly fish). They did, however, have my favorite fish (arapaima), so they get a 8/10 from me.
- The Smaller Aquarium was the best! We went during the Animal Crossing event, which happened to overlap with the Halloween season, so the place had addition decoration everywere! They had Gulliver washed up on the rocks, and skelletons in the tanks, they even had special items in the gift shop both for the event and for the hollidays. While the fish in the first Aquarium were lively, they were so much more active and sociable here. They seemed happier to me. They also had a lot of their own personality, in the decoration of the aquarium, and felt like they wanted people to stay for a while. At the larger Aquarium they spoke to you and answered question if you asked, but you didn't realy talk to any staff there unless they were announcing stuff over the mic. The staff here just kinda walk up and were like hello! Time for animal facts! I'm autistic as heck, but talking with them actually felt great! They knew their stuff and were just as excited to work there as I was to be there, it felt a lot more personal (not the best experiance if you have social anxiety and don't do too well with people). I didn't mean to compair it to the other Aquarium so much, but my rating, over all, is 9/10. Bonus, dispite actually being insite a mall (the other was next to a market) it didn't feel like being in a mall!
As far as all my video games have been going, IT"S GOTTEN WORSE! I have so many games to play, and so many that I want to play, that I'm loosing track! For now, my sister has gotten me to play Genshin Impact agian (I originally played during the og release, I unistalled it for a while and when I went back everything I had was gone so I gave up until now!) A lot has been added to it since I last played, so I am perpetually lost, but I'm having fun so who cares.
No Updates on studying, I am more worried about my scored though. I guess since nothing interesting has happened here it feels almost like progress has stalled and its messing me up? IDK I don't like it.

I got my temporary crown (tooth) a few days ago, gums still hurt a little and it still feel weird to eat. I'll be going in to the lab for color matching the new permanent tooth this Friday, hopefully the permanent tooth doesn't feel as weird.
I've been kinda sick but not really sick for the past couple of days. It's kinda like when your whole body feel bad and like your sick, but you have nothing else that "goes" with being sick? And it sucks because it's annoying, and bad, and you feel tired but you can't realy do anything about it. Because your not sick.
It sucks.
On another more positive note, I keep bouncing around different activities that I'm doing so I'm at the very least occupied! My sister has been playing a lot of Rune Factory 5 and I remembered I still has the card for Rune Factory 4 (3ds version) so I started playing it. I never really got as into it as I wanted to when I had first got it (it had just been released) but I'm liking it a lot more now. I'm still early in the story but it's fun. Haven't made too much progress in any of the other games I'm playing either. I think I'm playing too many of them at once to see any fast progress.
I think I'm going to pick out all the ones that are finite, finished in a couple hours, games I'm playing and just play those until I'm done. This way I'm only playing like one or two long or day by day games and I can enjoy them more.
Plans for my own first game are coming along very nicely! I'm still in the pre-planning phase, Writing down all my ideas and wishes before I do any research on how things actually work, how I'm going to start, and what's going to actually be possible for me to code (at my current skill level and with my current computer). I'm hoping I'm going to be able to do as much as I want, because the ideas that I have will only really be fun if I can get all the big pieces in.
Currently my idea is a sort of ghost and spooky themes farm simulator, where the player character is cursed to remain on the farm to be tormented by a necromancer every night. Since it's so dangerous your business partner only comes up to collect your goods for sale, and to bring you the supplies you ordered before, once a week. Towns people will also visit, mostly to check out the ghosts and skeletons, but they will also talk with you and some times even sell you things. The main end goal would be to defeat the necromancer and gain access to the town once again! After that it will be a prety normal farming sim but monsters will still show up on your farm at night sometimes. I was thinking that in the first half of the story, while the necromancer still lives, you could make lanterns filled with magic that could ward off monsters from small areas of your farm. You know so you could actually do all your farming or sleep at night with out sacrificing your carrots.
I want this to be a farmig sim that's the exact opposite of cozy. Fight for your lives! Grow your farm if you don't wanna die!
I also want to try and make like a rivals system, so not only can you make the town people like you and be your friend (or more!), you can also make them hate you. And specific items and event will only be possible to get if specific people dislike you enough and others the opposite.
This game will take forever to make!
As far as studying goes, not much to update. Prety much the same as it was before only I'm moving a little slower now. Not for any important reason, I'm just easily distracted.

Not much happened today, but it was pleasant. I've been day dreaming a lot, not about much in particular, though I have been making remixes of the same stories sometimes. IDK, it's nice.

Next week is the week I get my new tooth! I'm very excited, being as I'll only have one more dentist appointment after so I'll be able to focus all my time on studying again!
Speaking of studying, I'm still having trouble getting into and staying in the swing of things, so I'm still only actually studying speraticly. Better then nothing, I know, but it does make my progress feel so much slower and a lot less satisfying... Slow learning though is supposed to stick with you for longer, so I suppose it's still a good thing. Just doesn't feel as nice.

Nothing too interesting has been happening for me. I just felt like typing something up! I don't know, just thought it would be nice. It kinda is.
I feel like I've been doing a lot, but also nothing at all. It's odd but at the same time it feels like I say this a lot and like it's something I should be used to by now... It's still been rather nice for me overall though.
Dentist tomorrow. I'm kinda dreading it but also kinda looking forward to it.
