I was right in saying I wouldn't get much done. Between fatigue from the vaccination, needing to drive around a cat, and work, I didn't have time.

Anyway, this week I reccomend the completed Podcast The Message.. Note that this podcast is called "life after" in the title, that's the sequel to "The Message", but while I liked The Message a lot, I found Life After... tedious.

A warning: The Message contains some elements of "The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You" early on in the story.

This week was disorganised, with art, reading a texbook and anki being the most stable, and the other two slots being misc. including shopping, taxes, calling the bank and... sleep. On friday, I decided to add korean immersion back into the mix, with me starting up a game of Stardew Valley in Korean. I am not ready.

I had more time to work on classes because it was raining, but it didn't cool down much.

I'll try to be more organised next week.

This week's thing I listen to is: Creepypastas Read by The Dark Somnium. And a bonus, I've really been enjoying Ghost Stories of Canada but it's only got 13 episodes.

With me having finished the Sunshine Challenge for this year, I found myself with a little time to make a quick art, and I returned to a classic for this year: Blaseball Fanart.
And just in time for... the end of the current era of Blaseball, and as far as I know, no date of return.
It was my birthday yesterday. Blaseball ended on my birthday. My team went into a black hole.
I also did Anki, and things will be returning to normal for next month. I haven't signed up for any challenges.
Doing the translations for Sunshine challenge was... helpful, and difficult.

This week I realised I wasn't going to get my art for the Sunshine Challenge done fast enough for me, so I incorporated my korean studies into it! I'm amateurishly translating korean songs and korean versions of songs into english and you can see the ones I've done here.
I also did art and Anki. I still don't have my car back.

This week was better, but with all my work and things such as trying to get my car booked into the garage for fixing, and needing to rest when I could because it's been getting hot here, I found it really difficult to do my classes. As such, I wound up only doing Art, Anki and Gardening.

Writing this as the Blaseball Season 20 election results come in. I am trying not to look at them before getting done, I hope my team gets a blessing for once. (And then due to outside circumstances I DID look before finishing it. We did get a blessing, but due to a wills wimdy and shenanigans it's useless to us. I actually kinda love this. Pase lo que pase.)

The year is half gone and I am still going. Even though the weather got suddenly very boiling.
This week I changed things up!
Anki and art as Usual, but the others were Korean immersion, Music and Gardening.
I finished working on a track I've been working on a while and am now working on art for posting it to youtube. For Immersion, I am watching a K Drama... not something I usually do.
The Kdrama I'm watching is "Secret Mother". It's quite Dramatic (heh). Immersion is something I've been lacking, so I'm hoping this will help my brain make things click.

This week I managed! With some modifications.
See, back in my high school days classes were 53 minutes long, including travelling between them, so we probably actually got like 45minutes of schooling per period.
And I had been doing one hour per "class" and that... built up.
So now I've started going for 50 minutes per "class", and while that's less OVERALL (literally, one hour less because of six hours per day), it's a lot more manageable. And more manageable means I am more likely to actually get it done, rather than burn it out. Though, when it comes to actual WORK I'm keeping it to one hour is equivalent to one "class" because I charge by the hour and I don't want to, like, work 3 hours and then only have 20 minutes of a class. Work is kinda very easy on my brain, so those extra minutes working shouldn't contribute to the mental burnout I've been getting lately.

One thing I didn't mention in my last post was on tumblr, that week, I kept on seeing posts along the lines of "when you are tired, resting is the most productive thing you can do." It seemed like a sign.

Now that I'm very clearly past the point where it's excitement keeping me going, hopefully the reduced time will keep me going. It's already giving me more time to play the games I've been meaning to.
I've also pretty much given up on Duolingo for now. I can focus on what Lingodeer has to teach me. And maybe when I'm done with that I can use another resource.

This week's classes were Art, Writing, Gardening, Lingodeer, Anki. One of the things I did for art was This Fanart of Burke Gonzales as I saw him in a dream..

And it is MAY. Wow. I've been keeping this going.
This week was Duolingo, Anki, Art, Writing and... well a slightly flexible slot that I intended as deep cleaning but wound up also being used for work related matters. Such as getting a new customer sorted and seeing what work I'd have to do for another. The deep cleaning did have an effect, but clearly the 80/20 rule applies. The cleaning I'd done in one hour a while back had way more effect, and more junk to throw out, than the handfull of hours I had done this week.

Having a bit of a hard time getting back into Duolingo. I'd managed to lose my streak of over 600 days. The Writing I did was a bit of my long term project but also Blaseball fanfic. Blaseball's latest siesta is ending on monday, and the most recent season was absolutely BRUTAL for my team, the Mexico City Wild Wings. I was feeling kinda burnt out on the fandom at the end of it, and I wonder... like I have never been in a truely sports related fandom like this and surely IRL sports are less intense and all the time all the time?

For art one of the things I did was this art of my character who is part of the aforementioned long term project. Also my first published art this year that wasn't related to numenera or blaseball! Wow I got it bad.

Ooops this is late.

Ironically, for someone who said that I can't do three to four hours of korean I wound up alternating lingodeer and korean again and... signing up for an online korean course. I got it free thanks to a post on Reddit.

So this week Anki, Lingodeer and an online korean course, and for art I made this art of my Numenera Character Reidh as a Blaseball Player and did more anatomy learning, and for writing I worked on my script for a webcomic again.
