(no subject)

 Got me a job at a pub chain right after my first interview with them, which is barely hitting me because who just hires people right off the bat even when they are just renovating their premises???? But hey , deeply discounted food and 8+ per hour, and i can actually have other modes of stability in my life where I don’t sink my time into Stardew Valley.

Speaking of which, I’ve been playing a lot of games nowadays, and one of them is the totally relaxing farming sim/dungeon crawler/crafting/dating sim Stardew Valley. Sprites that make and craft materials is pretty darn soothing, although I do wish that it was available as a handheld, since to me small screens and something that’s in my hands feels less intense than gluing my eyes straight ahead and hunched over a computer screen. 

Currently, my classes include visiting professionals such as authors, both YA like Carlie Sorosiak (really cool lady) and Sue Gee who is more towards indie publishers, literary agents and copy editors and publishers, from companies like Hachette, Penguin Random House, and HarperCollins. Listening to all of them talk about their jobs and having following lectures about them is really neat, and helps plans out my goals for the future. 

By the way, in London there are a lot of pit bulls, but also like, these adorable pups walk around with no leash?? Just ambling about at the heels of their owners??? On sidewalks next to hazardous traffic?????

Just more worries to add when I look around the city.
