October was kind of a weird month. The weather was great yet I was also stressed because I’m trying to figure out what my life is going to be like next week and sweet Momo got spayed and she’s recovering, so it’s been kinda weird. XD
What I did
1.) I finished my revisions for my agent and sent them off! Then I also prepped for NaNo!
2.) Well, the biggest news is that I’m preparing to go back to school next year! I don’t have a college degree yet for reasons too complicated to explain, but I’ve decided that now’s the best time to go back to school. I’ll be starting at a tech college to get my AA hopefully next summer and then I’ll be transferring to my state to get a bachelor’s degree majoring in Journalism and minoring in Asian Studies!
In other news, I’m enjoying the wonderful fall weather and tomorrow I’m going to a Halloween bonfire at a friend’s house.
3.) I finished reading The Mark of Athena by Rick Riordan, The Drawing of Three by Stephen King, and Within These Lines by Stephanie Morrill!
4.) I also did some polymer clay sculpting but I can’t show any pics yet because they’re for gifts haha!
The Geeky Department
1.) I had a blast this month decorating my island with all sorts of Halloween-themed decor!
2.) I finished Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition and Future Connected and I enjoyed them both! Such great games!
3.) I‘VE FINALLY FINISHED NARUTO! ALL 1000 EPISODES, GUYS!
4.) I discovered this awesome anime called The Promised Neverland and it’s so good!!! I binged it all in one night. More about it in one of next month’s posts!
5.) I watched Cells at Work! and it was a really cute funny educational anime. I feel like I got a crash course in microbiology haha!
What I’m Going to Do
1.) I’m going to participate in NaNo and hopefully win this year haha!
2.) Regarding life, I’ll enjoy the weather, eat lots of food on Thanksgiving, and prep for school some more.
3.) I’m hoping to finish The House of Hades by Rick Riordan and Reclaiming Shilo Snow by Mary Weber!
4.) I’ll be doing more sculpting for Christmas presents!
5.) I should have a piece going up on HG101 soon.
