 Sunday. 13th June 2021. Two days after the last day of school and the last day of IGCSE.

I made plenty of blogs in the past. None of them I felt confident enough to publicize to the people around me. I guess now that I've graduated I've found a source of newfound confidence. Maybe I want people to get to know things and experience what I will experience. Maybe I want to find a way to connect with the friends I can't find myself to talk to.

Either that or I want a record to leave behind. The pandemic messed up my concept of time badly. With this, I'll know what I did every day.

So. Today.

Yesterday I had an hour-long call with a friend. (I just realised I never thought about name-dropping. Is it allowed to say names here? I won't just for the sake of it I guess) He's wanted me to watch Interstellar for ages. I guess I finally did it. Though at varying speeds (you know that option where you can change speeds? x1.25, x1.5, and x2.0 were my options), since I have a terrible attention span.

It was good. I can see why people like it so much. Thought-provoking is what I can describe it as. It made me think. I think the characters were well-fleshed too. I admit, I was a little lost at some parts, but I was still able to catch on. 

It made me think about scientists, I guess. That and morality. How far a lie and dishonesty can go. Imagine conducting a research experiment only to find out the head of the whole experiment cracked the code ages ago. He cracked it, but he continued because of an ulterior motive. My mom talks about this a lot, though in her case, lawyers and doctors. Doctors, because we should be driven by the want to help and heal people rather by greed. Lawyers to bring justice to the world and not to take advantage of people. I guess that's what makes movies intriguing. They have the power to provoke thoughts even if they're just moving pictures.

People are fascinating. I'm a huge people observer, and that goes for movies too. Though it's hard to analyze too much on a movie that wasn't focused on characters in the first place. It was surrounding the possibilities or time and dimensions. 

Anyways, other than that, I tried writing. Though I'm kind of ashamed actually because I started losing interest in the story. My attention span is horrible. Maybe I should stop thinking about novel-length stories and start doing stories that are like, less than 10k. I don't think the story's bad. I guess I just lost my direction. It's probably best to leave it as it is.

Besides that, there's also Rhythm Hive. It's a rhythm game, for K-pop artists BTS, TXT, and Enhypen. I had weekly quests to complete. I had the "Achieve All Marvellous" quests for both TXT and Enhypen to complete today in order to get 40 gems. Those gems let you draw and collect cards. I think if I were known to like one K-pop group by people, it's BTS, but to be frank, I barely play them. One, they have too many albums in their discography. Collecting cards are made difficult. Two, I guess I'm too familiar with them. I'm always seeking something new. I don't stick to one thing for a long time.

Anyways, there was a lot of frustration. I kept obtaining Excellents rather than Marvellouses. My pride hurt, because I was good at the game. I think. If I'm focused enough. I guess that's what doing something for a prolonged period of time does. But I did it. I have 682 gems. That's enough for 3 packs of 10 cards. One for each group. Swell.

 Anyways, I'm halfway through an episode of Haikyuu now. Another recommendation. I plan to finish season 2 tomorrow if I don't get distracted. But for today one episode is enough. Especially since I spent 2 hours and 49 minutes on a different movie. There's only so much I can watch in a day.

Anyways (this has been the what've time I've started with anyways), tomorrow I plan to finish Haikyuu season 2. Besides that, N.Flying's album was really good, so I want to get to reviewing it. Maybe TXT's The Chaos Chapter: Freeze as well. I also started a mini goal book from an Enhypen package my sister gifted me for my birthday. I don't actually know if I'll get to it. Hopefully, I will. 

I'm excited at the future prospect of all the things I can do. So I'll end this here. Even if no one reads this, this blog is something I hope I get excited by. Excitement is a difficult feeling anyways, so hopefully it appears more frequently due to the break.
