I spent all day today playing Arknights. Wound up really, really loving the new event story and just getting engrossed in it for basically the whole day. And also playing the newly revised SSS and actually having fun in it somehow. It feels like the event reignited not, like, my love for Arknights, but more my passion for it, if that makes sense. I still loved Arknights just as much before, but now I feel refreshed in a way I didn't really realize I wasn't. Idk, I feel like I've been net-happier ever since I started playing Elden Ring and I'm not sure why. I don't think it has to do with literal Elden Ring itself, but more just. Being able to focus on doing things I enjoy more?

Second Covid test came back negative. I haven't actually asked mom how she is today but I think she's still doing ok. I haven't picked up my degree, it's something we all forgot about, but they have "office hours" starting in about 2 weeks and I can get it then. To be honest, it'll probably be way easier to pick up without everyone going to the same place to get theirs. I wish my school would just send it out but it's better than it getting folded up in the mail.
