Three-Step Task 1. Basic summoning (fictional character) 2. Practice real-life hobbies (thinking of clarinet and digital painting) 3. Element manipulation Personal goals - Ride a roller coaster - Ride a water slide - Ride a long water slide that ends in the sea - Jump through a portal from my dream to a video game world dream - Jump through a portal from my dream to a custom fantasy world dream - Summon and talk to dream guide, ask for advice on improving techniques - Let my dream guide take me into a dream of its choice - Eat some donuts - Make music play in the background of the dream, like a soundtrack. - Ride a dragon - Time perception: Have a dream where I feel like I'm there for days or weeks. - fly to a resort in Hawaii

It seems that I will, in fact, have to extend my MS graduation date.  But I’m no longer worried. I love fluid simulation. What I don’t love is a lack of balance. If I have downtime (to relax, sleep, read, play video games) as well as creative time (to make art, write, play music), then my desire to learn increases. Without these things, I fizzle out.  As a result, I’m now planning to graduate in December. That’s also my deadline for my current slew of personal work. Basically: finish 2 certifications, finish my art tutorials, review all basic coding concepts, up my running mileage, start my next novel, stuff like that.  I will be researching 10 hours a week instead of 15-20 on my thesis because I hardcode burned out this week. This will be a way more reasonable pace, giving me FREE TIME!! and I’ll learn to work more efficiently too. During the summer, I’ll only work on it for 5 hours a week, fitting it into my normal coding slots. Or, I’ll take the summer off altogether. ...

…it’s not dark yet!  Spring is coming…

Because typing it in a rush is really annoying. First equation: \[  \Delta \cdot \overrightarrow{u} = 0\] Second equation: \[  \frac{d\overrightarrow{u}}{dt} = - (\Delta \cdot \overrightarrow{u}) \overrightarrow{u} - \frac{1}{p} \Delta p + v \Delta^2\overrightarrow{u} + \overrightarrow{F} \] And a bonus, F = ma: \[ \overrightarrow{F} = m\overrightarrow{a} \]  Results:

Working full time plus attending school = no time to do art, writing, personal coding projects, or learning theme park design concepts. Now technically my project is a personal coding project which I probably would've done anyway, but even so -- the lack of control over how I spend my free time is killing me. My entire life is school and work. And I REALLY want to start getting good at art. But I can't right now because all I do outside of 40 hours of work is...homework.  Super stressed about not finishing on time. I CANNOT be working on this over the summer. I NEED my free time back, especially during the best part of the year. And with that, time to get some schoolwork done before I clock in. 

But when I do, the first flight gets delayed.  I was supposed to get dinner in Phoenix and I am starving. 🌝
