My school extended the deadline by one day 'cause of network issues, and I am quite thankful that it did because one of the two projects I needed to do took...way too long.
I'm not blaming my teacher, but tbh if a project needs a student to take notes on and compile/cite 30 sources within 14 hours for a project because it's all content that we haven't learned, then maybe the project might be a lil too big of a scope, idk.
Anyways, I'm done, and now it's just the finals left, which means I'm here again lol.

As usual, I forgot most of the things I wanted to say (thankfully lol), but here's something I found funny.
That (timed) FRQ I mentioned? I hated it with every shred of my being, I really did. If it were just a personal draft I definitely would've burned it as soon as possible.
But my AP Lit teacher gave it a 6/6 (which means I somehow got the sophistication point, which I don't think I ever got last year) and gave the essay extensive praise. And this was right after I felt so much shame about my work that I spent an hour or so just painstakingly correcting everything for my own sanity.
I am still in pain over this, lol. What.

Also another thing, I was basically 100% sure I'd summoned Nightingale again, but when I logged in she was just?? Gone??? Now I'm not sure if I dreamt it or hallucinated it or if it actually happened. I am extremely disoriented by this lol.

Oh yeah, also for that volunteering thing, I found that somehow I have lost my ability to scare little kids, which was a bummer.
Like yes, they looked at me with their lil suspicious eyes, but that was probably because I was wearing a mask and have like dark beady eyes or whatever
The teacher (not from my school) who was at the station with me was super nice, though he kept forgetting that I couldn't phase food/water through my mask lol

There was also a guy who I thought was my math teacher from last year until I realized he was too short (my Calc teacher is like some kind of giant)
Being online is great because my teachers normally will not be able to recognize me at all, even if I occasionally open my camera.
I have a sneaking suspicion that they think I'm super short lol
Or maybe I'm just ignorable? Not that I mind if so, I actually like blending in lol

Untagged F/GO JP Servants spoilers btw
Chinese Servants! Who I don't know much about! With cool designs!
I'm not gonna lie, I was extremely happy when the guy's (Huang Feihu) NP came out and there were children lol. I think maybe I'm used to people like William Tell who can only remember their children, while Huang Feihu's kids (sons) were there just kinda rowing along.
My personal interpretation of his NP (off of first impression) is that they're not actually there as manifestations but rather as a symbol of his memories, fighting alongside him and being some of his most dear, but I'm not too familiar with his lore so I'm not sure (I just know that the Anti-Daji Club is growing, which is absolutely great, I hate Daji with all my soul)
The girl (who looks like Asclepius with the mask on imo) is also cool. Her NP gives me Xiang Yu vibes.
Why on earth is she an Assassin though lol (btw she's genderbent I think)? Is it to tone down Chinese Servants? I don't think our culture's heroes are too OP xD
Btw this is really Chinese Halloween ig xD, I think the welfare is some Chinese Divine Spirit too but I didn't actually look into her. She seems to have a special class and is a little girl xD cute

Also! Finished LB4 and will start LB5 at...some point, I guess. I'm not sure when.
I'm excited. Also trying to stay away from spoilers. Tbh the entire arc has gone by really fast for some reason and I'm not sure if that's just me or if I'm forgetting something along the way

Oh yeah, I'm also trying out Nightingale! Funnily enough, I need more Berserker embers, but that's fine. She's my only un-maxed Berserker, so yeah, no problem. (a book reference btw)
I need to use her more but her fragility definitely seems to be an issue. I was thinking maybe Asclepius could help (with Guts and healing) but I'm not too sure if their niches would overlap? That would also mean that I'd have two healer supports (one being semi-offensive both in terms of support and actual attack) and then one main attacker, which isn't necessarily what I like to run when I run a DPS
All of this also reminds me that I really loved her animations/sprite back when I hadn't summoned her, so maybe I should also level up Jing Ke for that reason lol. Maybe. (I don't have Assassin embers to spare atm but at one point......?)

Oh I just remembered a 3 A.M. thought, which was "Gordon Ramsey but he critiques art"
He just goes ham on your line confidence, composition, and color theory knowledgeokay "donut" is a good insult though xD
It also works for writing

Somehow I knew the term mental block before actually knowing the term exists
Which I think is a testament to the term being good, since that means people can relate to it and find it without having to do extensive research
Anyways I blocked off a lot of my childhood intentionally all those years ago and now forms and stuff are specifically targeting those things I intentionally "forgot" lol. I am in pain
Rn I'm just thinking "Well if I get this over with this year I'll be able to stuff it under a pile and never look at it again," but if I do get into college the next financial aid year will probably make me do it again so :') should I just keep it this time?? Or??
'Cause let me assure you, Galaxian with these memories turned on is somehow even worse than usual Galaxian (extremely passive aggressive, filled with targeted loathing and ill will, etc.)
Though it does remind me if all the memories I've been currently dealing with anyway can be just stuffed under a pile, since I don't think I'll need them again. Saving a direct confrontation of some sort, of course. Which would suck.

Sometimes I legitimately forget that 15-year-olds can be psychopaths, and then I remember some of my 9th grade classmates and then recall again

Was waiting at a (iffy) bus stop when I noticed a guy about 5 meters away approaching us with a weird look in his eyes and a hand in his pocket. I focused on his pocket first though (due to a bulge in it) and found myself looking at the hilt of a knife.
Another guy (also iffy, I'm sorry) who was closer to him (and who was staring at me and following my line of sight) also saw it a moment later and started freaking out. Started shouting stuff like, "What are you gonna do with that thing?! Are you gonna stab me with that knife, you (beep)??!" while weirdly remaining in place. And the guy with the knife kinda just sloooowly veered away from his beeline path while keeping his gaze fixed on me.

On a lighter note, I saw some very cute prairie dogs! They were (offensively) not afraid of me at all and just kinda stared or went about their business. One of them let me get real close to take a picture. So cute xD missed a bus to take that pic btw but it was so worth it lol

Thanks for the goodwill, you two! I definitely appreciate not getting stabbed as well lol.
Here are two pictures! The first one legit stayed in that pose (more or less) for 5 minutes after I told him/her to stay in place for a picture and then fumbled with the phone for 4 minutes due to zipper issues. Coincidence? Maybe, but lemme have my fun xD.
