I'm on my first book for the summer. A friend inspired me to get back into reading, and I forgot how fun it can be. c:

But the big news is summer break from uni ✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧

It felt like two years in one. So much has happened, both good and bad, but right now I get to finally, finally decompress.

(But honestly, two days into this break and I got restless.)

I'm looking for work. Got laid off from my student job due to remote work budget cuts. It was a bummer, but I'm not too worried about getting a job for the summer.

I'm also studying for this startup project I'm volunteering with. The other designer left and uh, now I have the chance to be the design lead. For now I'll take small steps because that is not a role I want to mess up. XD

Then there are my two clubs I need to meet up with throughout the summer.

In regards to more stereotypical summer fun stuff, I'll be going to an anime convention with some friends in a couple months. It'll be my first convention! Plus I get to meet a friend I haven't seen in about five years.

And I might be going on an LA trip in August! ⌯’▾’⌯ We might be touring the Winchester Mystery House as well.

Congrats on the start of your summer, sounds like it'll be a good one despite the layoff (which seem to be getting to feel about as common as bad weather...)

Congrats on picking up reading for pleasure! It took me many years after college to get back into it myself, but it is such a wonderful habit
