Subtlety has never been my thing so I’ll just say it straight out. I just turned 20, and yes yesterday was my birthday but I was too pre-occupied with stuff that I wrote it the next morning instead *cue for extremely dry and unenthusiastic cheering*.
Well, other than nice weather, it turned out to be just another sub-par day at school, beginning with a large coffee after my first class because I didn’t get enough sleep the night prior (that’s a first, never happened last year when I was constantly on four hours of sleep). I don’t know, for some reason I really felt cranky all day, probably because the idiot living above me won’t stop banging something till 3 am and there was a bunch of morons in the library who won’t shut up.
I did have a cake, but I didn’t manage to take a picture of it before I shared with a few close friends (actually that’s not really true, I still have half of it left which I’m donating to the anime club execs, but I doubt you’d want to see it because apparently my cake cutting skills are far worse than my dissection skills for some odd reason). The cake was from my parents, who came to visit after I wrote my genetics exam (that didn’t go well). The faculty of medicine and dentistry told me I received the NSERC award that I applied for, odd seeing as the deadline was two weeks ago; the committee only met last week, and according to my prof would take at least a month for the early offers to be out (though other than adding $1100 to my four months pay and the “prestige” of receiving a national level scholarship it doesn’t mean a lot to me). I was also supposed to have my MCAT prep books in, but UPS messed stuff up and it ended up getting shipped to my Toronto address instead.
The other thing I wanted to say is that, I’ve been feeling little interested in writing stuff. I might have outgrown this hobby I don’t know, it just feels like more of a chore than anything to write stuff (plus there’s been a lacking of stuff to write about anyway). Yes, this means I’ll be taking some time off once again to gather my thoughts, and…yeah who knows what’ll happen afterwards.
Wow, you have the same birthday as Rin ^_^ Happy Birthday! Hope you had a fun time on your b-day! Wish I could grab some of those scholarships T_T But no, the profs have to be jerks and mark me down T_T Now i got to redo one course T_T
Happy Birthday, dude!
Sad to hear that you’re falling out of your hobby, but that’s okay. Life moves us on to other things. You may come back, who knows.
Keep up the hard work on your studies!
Happy birthday ^^
Well, interests and tastes change over time. It happens to everyone at some point ^^; Or maybe it’s burnout? Take a nice break and come back in a while?
Happy bday and congrats on getting the NSERC award! Prestige is always a good thing.
Haha, nice example with Arthas there.
Happy belated Birthday mate.
Feeling growing out ACG hobby stuff? As long as it doesn’t feel like ending up as a 三分鐘熱度 kind of thing then that’s ok. Things in life can cause changes anyway.
But then you have a high standard for what you want to do, so getting focused on what you are doing and putting others a bit lower down in priority is probably a good thing for you then. Whatever you do, don’t lose your sight for what’s ahead of you.
You still haven’t hit the big two-one yet! It all goes downhill from there!!! ;p
sorry to hear that you don’t feel the same way about your hobby, dude. Is it the whole figure hobby you’re getting tired of or just the writing?
You know yourself better than anyone else so you’re the only one qualified to make the decision on what to do next. Just don’t rush things and I’m sure you’ll be fine.
A bit late but I wanna wish u a happy birthday.
It’s sad to hear life is being an ass to u but I guess it’s hard to pick on who to blame here. We all go through our up’s and down’s and I hope u see a light through this.
Been following ur tweets and I know u went through something rough which I have yet to feel myself but I will leave it at that.
In light of all of this, I hope this is not the end of ur hobby but if it is, then I guess it’s time. Even I know myself there is an end to this no matter how much I want it to last forever.
GNDynames,
Happy Belated Birthday to you! And congratulations on receiving the NSERC award!
A happy belated Birthday to you and I hope that you enjoyed it atleast a bit even though life treats you like an ass at the moment.
Tastes change over time and I hope you wont look back at this and feel ashamed.I still have hope that youll get back to us soon though
Thanks all. I think it’s more of a time dedication thing, that and I’m finding the hobby to be somewhat expensive and not exactly appealing to most people whom I come in contact with (I do need to preserve a certain image).
@Optic: Pinning blames is THE thing that’s eating me alive because no one is at fault as I was the one that started the shit. I’m pissed at myself that I’m considering it even though I know it’s not right.
Seeing a light through this is probably not going to happen because it mainly makes me think that I’m not good enough (unfortunately I’ve stretched the limits as far as I could). It’ll be a rather painful long time until I can finally let it go.
@Blowfish: I won’t regret it and I probably won’t let it end yet (seeing as I’ll be taking over the anime club I can’t let it die completely), though my spending will most likely be cut to a lower amount.
