♡ Microtheme Drafting is HARD ♡

-

     Do you remember when I said that writing a microtheme was easy?  Well, I was wrong. My paper had quite some flaws. I'm a huge perfectionist so I'm determined to fix every single one of the errors. I was told that my paper was a bit wordy and sounded a bit too much like a research paper, which I agree with. It's hard to write more freely when all of my life I've been told to support my claims and use the highest vocabulary. Nevertheless, I do enjoy a challenge when it comes to writing. I ended up deleting most of my unnecessary intro and stepping my vocabulary down a bit. My goal is to get at least an A on it. I enjoy the openness of college, though there is somewhat of a certain format to this type of writing, I no longer feel like my mind is in a box. At this point in my writing though, I have no idea what else to say. Deleting as much as I did left me with a little bit more than half a page. I know I need a whole page but at the same time don't want to put unnecessary text. I feel like in the amount I've written, I already got my point across. I was told that my paper the way it was would have most likely gotten a good grade, but I'm ready to leave my phase of just trying to pass. I want to try my best because unlike high school, I chose to go to college. So hopefully, this last draft will be perfect!

♡ Con Alt Delete ♡

 I'm gonna be honest, the only thing that has been keeping me going has been looking forward to Con Alt Delete in December. If you don't know what that is, It's a big anime convention that takes place every winter. This is my second time going to a big convention so I'm pretty excited since my last one in the summer was super fun. This time my friends and I are going to rent a hotel room and stay the whole weekend! I have also been working on my costumes, or cosplays, ever since last month. I'm going as my two favorite anime characters, Tohru from Miss Koboyashi's Dragon Maid and Nagatoro from Don't Toy With me Miss Nagatoro . So far, my Torhu cosplay is almost done except for some needed tailoring, but my Nagatoro one is still a work in progress. I've been trying to stay cost-effective with all of my smaller items pertaining to each costume but it's hard when a lot of the costume is very specific and hard to thrift. For the main bodysuit for the Na

♡The Holidays ♡

I have a love-hate relationship for Christmas. When I was younger it was my favorite holiday, not only because of the gifts, but because I would get to spend time with my whole family. My mom's side would all gather on Christmas eve and open presents. This consisted of my aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandma, but back then we would always have gatherings like that so maybe I didn't appreciate it as much. My uncle would always buy me these big life-size stuffed animal dogs, which I loved, but on the other hand, my mother very much disliked them. I miss those times. When my mom's side of the family didn't all live in Texas. When my grandma was still alive. She was the one that kept us all connected. After her life ended, so did our family gatherings. On Christmas day my brother and I would open our parent's gifts and then head to my Dad's side's Christmas. This was at my grandparent's house, with my two uncles and grandparents. The energy was always so high

♡ Guided Documentary Reflection ♡

-
 The documentary I chose to watch for my project was My Kid Could Paint That , It's about a 4-year-old girl who produced widely loved abstract paintings. The first painting she ever made was because her dad was painting and she wanted to paint with him, so he gave her a canvas and let her paint. They ended up hanging it in their house and their art friend complimented it and asked who the artist was, they laughed and said it was their daughters. The friend asked to hang it in a coffee shop and from then on her paintings spread like wildfire and within a year she became a famous abstract artist. I think a specific scene that got to me was when they watched the 60-minute show about their daughter's art that claimed that the paintings were fake, saying the dad who was an artist himself helped. This broke my heart because they began to receive threatening, disgusting emails about them as parents. They were just a normal, loving family. I think this may have also upset me because th
