230: I have to be on a zoom call in 6.5 hours.

Today was freaking awesome, but I don't have any pictures. I really need to get a little (but still GOOD) camera that I can carry around with me. I got up at like 11:30, showered, ate breakfast, and then took my board for a spin. I went

229: PROGRESS!!!

Today was pretty good, all things considered. The main draw (obviously) is that I got my board finally done! It was only like another 15 minutes of work, and then I put on all of my protective gear (wrist braces, elbow pads, knee pads, and I always wear my helmet)

228: Not Progress!!

Je vais bientot crashout! I managed to miss the spacing of the center hole line on my longboard by about half a millimeter per hole (they're like 39.5mm instead of 40mm), which means that the electronics don't really fit. The current setup is a mess.

227: Progress!

The title is about things that happened today, but it's also one of my "unskippable cutscenes", as I call them. There are a number of phrases and sayings that trigger lines from songs to play in my head, many of them from famous things (lots of

226: ABSOLUTE WIN

I absolutely SLAYED bowling this morning, it was amazing. I didn't catch the screen with all of my squares, but I think there were only two frames where I left any pins standing, and I ended up with a 200. Apparently 200 is high enough that it gives

225: Bueller!

Today was a day off. Or, yesterday was a day off. I've had like 3 days off in a row, I did fully zero schoolwork Saturday and Sunday, and I did very little today, but I did do some! I was woken up by my normal Monday alarm

224: Manual labor at 2 in the morning

I just had the latest version of my rear fenders come off the printer, so I had to give it a quick test-fit before I printed one for the other side, and there were a couple adjustments I made. The new version, currently on the printer, is the one represented

223: Zzzzz

I didn't have Wind Power today, because we took the week off while we were waiting for our parts to be delivered, so I took the opportunity to sleep in laaaaate. I slept until 2:30, which is ~12 hours of sleep, and then did very little today.

222: Simply cannot be bothered

I got more than 8 hours of sleep for the first time in genuinely like two weeks today, and it was nice, but it was the kind of forced nice, I fully couldn't get myself out of bed for my 10AM class, so I just slept until like

221: Slaying Out

"Slaying Out", as I use it, is a term for when someone performs at their best. It is based in the drag-queen term "slay", something that many women will say to each other as a sort of nondescript compliment, but I also imagine "slaying out&

220: Tore myself a new one

The crustiest road in San Luis Obispo tried to kill me today; not a very good time. I think I hit a rock or something, because I wasn't going significantly faster than I normally do, and one of my front fenders is cracked, consistent with some kind of

219: RAIN

It's raining. And will be for a while. I like it. Today was pretty good; Lab today was super chill, and we were completely done within time (report and everything), it was great. I bowled like shit, but that's okay; it was kind of just a

218: Some light gaming

I'm writing this one at 12:12 AM, because Cody and I have been playing Terraria again (only since 10 PM, so not that long), but it's getting late, and he's still out and about in the caves, so I'm writing this

217: SUPER BOOOOOWL

Today felt really long, I suppose because it actually was. I'm writing this at 11:55, and I woke up this morning at 7:30 AM, so it has technically been a very long day. I had to wake up this morning for an Italian cultural/language exchange

216: Money 😭

We ordered everything for Wind Power today, which is awesome, I'm really looking forwards to those boards coming in, but damn if it wasn't more expensive than I thought. To be fair, it isn't my money, we have a substantial club budget, and the

215: A little carried away

Cody and I started a new Terraria world today, and it's great, but we played for like 5 hours, which I was not intending. It's alright, but I really didn't mean to be doing that. It's 1:43 as I write this,

214: Through the fire and the flames

We've made it! Into the easy (er) part. I had my Stats midterm and a lab today, which both went pretty well. We got the lab done very early, which allowed me to get lunch and do the wordle and the mini (and chill out) before my midterm.

213: Je Vais Bientot CRASHOUT

The following was written yesterday, the 3rd. Today's is after. It's 12:20 AM right now. I have too much shit to do. I don't have a photo either. I did everything required of me tonight, but it's too many freaking things,

212: A Citation!

Remember how I was warned that CPPD is stopping people on skateboards? It happened to me today. The cop was nice about it when I asked him, apparently it's an order from the top. He told me he though it was "fuckin stupid", exact words, so

211: Craft night!!

Ohhhh BROTHER. It's 12:21 AM, but it's really not supposed to be. I got like 5 hours of sleep last night, I should have been asleep two hours ago, but here we are. I went to Craft Night tonight, which was a ton of fun.

210: I have to be awake in like five hours.

Today was pretty good, honestly. I got up at like 11, showered, grabbed breakfast, and then went to Wind Power. The power team meeting went well, and a good number of the boards are now actually ready to be ordered (like drag-and-drop and then pay), so we're on

209: "They're out for us"

Apparently CPPD (that's Cal Poly Police Department) has started to enforce their anti-skateboard rules. Some of my residents were in the common room when I got home, and told me they were stopped and told to stop skating by the (c)ops. This was at like 10PM on

208: BACK AT IT AGAIN with the TECHNOLOGICAL TROUBLESHOOTING

Today has been a mess and a half, honestly. I got a whole one thing done, and that thing is a 28-page guide to exporting PCB designs in Wind Power, which is definitely super useful, but I wanted to do so much more. Part of the reason I was unable

207: "I don't have anything I need to do tonight"

Famous last words. I went into tonight not needing to do anything, and then I was blindsided by a pre-lab for tomorrow (because one of my dumbass professors didn't update the class and it was due January 29th 2025), and then about an hour ago my server decided

206: Gonna get my steps in today

I sure did get my steps in. Today was pretty busy too, but I made it so, if that makes sense. I did some things I didn't have to do that made my day busier than if I had just been a loaf, and it was nice to
