State of the blog

Doesn't the week between Christmas and New Year just feel weird? Because it's between two holidays, you just don't feel like doing anything? You end up lying around the house, wasting time. Exhausted from Christmas, regaining the strength to do it all again come New Year's Eve. Plus whenever you get the energy to do something, everyone already has plans. It's just a pain. Anyway, enough of my poor social skills. I wanted to get something small out today, think of it as a state of the blog. I'll be covering the new Mac I bought, K-On! Mondays, and current/future posts I'm working on. Let's get into it.

First off, I got a Mac! The base Mac mini to be precise. I decided it would be a good idea to get a computer just for University. Having thought and read about it for a while. I figured Macs are probably the best option for school, they're always bragging about it. I had always heard about how quick the Arm Macs were, but they really are something else. I've never seen a computer, in this price range, be so quick. It's incredible, programs, websites, and the computer itself open so quickly. Especially since it's so cheap, who woulda thought huh? Hopefully, it'll improve my workflow next year. I'm also hoping it will help this blog out. Having the ability to post from a desktop in my room should give me more motivation to post. Plus the added speed and convenience from my laptop too. About those new posts.

Starting with K-On! Monday, I think they have been a resounding success! Not in the views department, but for my own sake. I actually look forward to Mondays now. I've already posted three, which is more consistent than I've ever been, with many more to come. I'm looking forward to writing more. Since it's New Year's on Monday, I'll post another episode review. I'll be talking about the Season 1 OVA, Live House. Like on Christmas, it'll again be split into two parts. On part essay type, next part smaller dot points. After that, I'll probably go back to posting other K-On! related stuff. We'll see how long I can keep this up. 

To keep this blog from becoming just K-On! Monday, Here's an update on everything else I'm working on. Either later tonight or more likely tomorrow. I'll be posting an essay about Autism. It won't be about my experience with it, but instead my thoughts on the "Autistic community" and the recent boom on social media. I've got some very strong opinions about that. After that will be a New Year's post, either on the 31st or the 1st, just reviewing the year. It's been a busy and life-changing year for me. Don't know what I'll say just yet, but I think I'll just give an overview of the major events from the year. Speaking of major events, the long-promised Japan recap should be out by the first week of the new year. To be fair, I've already tried writing it twice, but I don't like how it sounds. I'm still not too sure how I'll write it. I think I'll split it down to all the places I visited, we'll see. 

Moving into the new year. I've got two more posts planned, one about why I quit University. This one will detail my first attempt at higher education, and go into my worries about the second attempt. The second essay will be about my beloved K-On! Currently on the K-On! subreddit, we're rewatching the series; For every episode, I've been writing down my thoughts. At the end of this rewatch, I'll be compiling them into a large. And I mean, a LARGE retrospective of the series. Hopefully, this will be out by the end of the month. It should be a good ending for this period of my life.

I just want to add that I'll also be putting out more of these short posts. I enjoy writing them. They won't be as focused as the larger posts, they just be posts about random thoughts from throughout the day. Like this one, they won't have much planning or structure in them. Just a way to express my thoughts, plus get stuff off my chest. 

Wrapping this up now. I've got a new Mac that's gonna help me with Uni and this blog, K-On! Monday's is going strong, and I got loads of new posts on the way. Looking forward to posting it, even though I'm the only one here. Well, who cares anyway,

See ya.

If you've ever seen this episode, this is exactly how I feel right now
