Fall bucket list completion in 2 days

I made that post about my October goals and then got my butt kicked, mainly due to the layoff completely tanking my morale. 

So, let's try again. 

Today is a kinda flex-day but we are getting back to it as soon as lunch is over. 

Fun stuff:

  • Success: I already made my final Lagoon trip as it is now closed for the season. I went swimming outdoors while it was still warm, and did 2 races. I have also eaten Reese's pumpkins, ghosts, and bats lol. I did some great fall walks and took some trips to Wilkerson Farm, though not a ton. 
  • 2 more trips to Wilkerson Farm.
  • 1 trip to Cornbelly's Lehi and 1 trip to Cornbelly's Spanish Fork
  • Go to Witchfest / Ricochet Canyon to ride Rattling Iron
  • Read scary stories on the Noctrium, and a few others.
  • Watch 1 horror movie, maybe even just The Conjuring again
  • Watch Over the Garden Wall as I've heard lots of good things about it, plus it's supposed to be a great show for fall
  • Clean and decorate for Halloween (yes, even for just a day)
  • Take a few more fall leaf walks, ideally longer ones, but no big deal either way. 
  • Re-start on Drawtober, but move it so we finish in November, since that kicked my butt. 
  • Decide on NaNoWriMo, and set winter goals. 
EDIT: Cornbelly's Lehi has free rides on Saturday, so might just do that. Spanish Fork Cornbelly's is unfortunately already closed, but I'll do it next year without a doubt. 

I didn't do any scare mazes this year but eh I don't really care. I like them, but they kinda hurt my voice due to all the screaming lol. 

Productive, but still fun, stuff:
  • Follow my daily sequence of studies. I will be loose about it for the next 2 days, then buckle down once all fall activities close. Today I will still do it, but a condensed version, possibly from 1 PM to like 4 PM. 
Here is a draft of the study sequence. If I decide to suck it up and take Robust Control next semester, there might be a slight twist where I weight the ECE studies more. 


Like 90% of my day will be weighted towards the thesis starting on November 1st. But again, ECE/math will be weighted heavier if I decide to take 513. But I might just wait until future academic endeavors to study control theory formally. I am pretty burned out.

Unleashing my inner Disney Princess ✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧ at the 2024 Disney Princesses Half Marathon

TL;DR it was amazing and perfect  and we are going to make this an annual tradition. I may edit this with photos later, but I'm probably going to forget.  Recently, I spent 5 wonderful days donating my dollarbucks and soul to the evil mouse in Orlando. I did it for the Disney Princess Half Marathon.  Just look at that happy little alligator musician. He's so CHONKY. It's adorable. I love him. How could you NOT run a half marathon for him when he's cheering you on?  (My dad says it's weird to say the word "adorable" as a man, which makes zero logical sense and obviously means I need to use that word as often as possible. I will also continue to wear my rings and maybe I'll start flashing my pink protein shaker. Just to cause a little discomfort, because it's funny.)  I haven't seen the movie yet actually so idk if the gator is a major character or not. But JUST LOOK AT HIM.  My cousin and I had been planning a Disney trip, specifically centered

The 20-something types of Computer Science majors

I've been way too distracted with this blog lately, and I need to hurry up and start getting crap done. But...I've been dying to write this lol.  The advanced neckbeard A rare variety. When a neckbeard is forced out of his mom's basement and into college, he becomes an Advanced Neckbeard. You can always tell when he's coming, because you can smell him from half a mile away. He is very overweight, and wears shirts that are either plain or adorned with anime/gaming graphics. These shirts are either stained with sweat, Hot Cheetos, or something a little bit more, ah, suspicious . He is so socially unskilled that he makes everyone else in the major look normal. Age 30+, GPA at a 2.0 or just barely above it. Will never drop the major despite his lack of effort, because he simply doesn't care if he gets bad grades. In fact, he is probably highly intelligent, but his grades will never reflect that. Nevertheless, he will get a much higher paying job than a regular neckbeard

The Evenstar

I've never liked this world much.  Ever since I was a little kid, I always dreamed of going somewhere else. I created this alternate version of Earth that had everything and everyone that I loved, but with all these improvements to it. Magic was real. So were dragons. Dinosaurs hadn't gone extinct. Technology allowed people to fly. A network of glass corridors provided transport between this world and mine, snaking through streams of stars, galaxies, and lightyears of blackness.  And more than anything, I wasn't alone. I don't remember why I spent so much time alone as a kid. I really wish I did. All I know is that when I was in my  world, I always had someone by my side.  The feeling of being out of place here was overwhelming. It still is. That sense of not belonging, of longing for somewhere else, it has never gone away.  When I was in middle school, being bullied daily, I escaped to that world. The boys who tripped me and spit on me disappeared, replaced by tropical
