I bought AirPods. I love them. They’re literally amazing. Earlier I was studying in a noisy room full of people talking and I could concentrate. It’s like a switch to my own little world. The space outside my vision fades and the spotlight of my attention doesn’t stray.

Summer ‘22, Day 34
Today I drove a go-kart for the first time! Very fun, would recommend. It’s oddly freeing to drive with no mirrors.
Summer ‘22, Day 33
So I tried my friend’s AirPods and let me tell you: it was nothing short of magical. When I put the second AirPod in, the music started playing, and when I took it out, the music stopped! My friends were playing cards and talking and with the active noise cancellation on, I couldn’t hear them…
Summer ‘22, Day 32
Today I went swimming. Something cool: swimming to the bottom of the pool and floating up. Watching the bubbles rise. Breaking the surface. It feels very transcendent.
Summer ‘22, Day 31
Even as words inspire me, I grow tired of writing them. Is it because the wave of my words only crests softly while others crash and roar? Why am I doing this, writing little waves? Will I look up one day and discover a tsunami? And if I don’t, will perhaps one little wave of…
Summer ‘22, Day 30
Guess what? Today was another one of those days! I played ping-pong, checked out a bunch of library books, and generally had a great time 😄
Summer ‘22, Day 29
Today I had a great time hanging out with friends and playing ping-pong. I want more days like today.
Summer ‘22, Day 28
Today I started playing Stardew Valley and I’m loving it so far. The intro is perfect, the art style is perfect, the music is perfect; everything is so good. I’m playing on my iPad and I really like the 4:3 aspect ratio. It looks so big compared to 16:9.
Summer ’22, Day 27
I’m thinking about games I want to play. Here’s a list: Breath of the Wild, Manifold Garden, The Stanley Parable, Pikuniku, Chicory, Baba Is You, Hollow Knight, Celeste, Journey, Flower, ABZU, Stardew Valley, The Beginner’s Guide, and A Short Hike. Some of them I’ve already played, but I want to play again. I’m really interested…
Sand Drawing
Imagine I gave you a place which remembers nothing. A place where everything you write and draw exists only for a moment. What would you write? What would you draw? What will you give the sand?
Summer ’22, Day 26
Okay, what is this ;-; ? To me, it looks like a blank or slightly concerned face with raised hands, like “Woah there, easy.” Or maybe someone about to play the bongos deadpan. Is it supposed to be a sad face? Because I just can’t see it that way.
Summer ‘22, Day 25
I finished watching “Your Lie in April”. What words can do it justice? It’s a masterpiece, unforgettable, and very inspiring. These words are true, but they don’t do it justice. So does that convince you to give “Your Lie in April” a try? I hope it does.
Summer ‘22, Day 24
I’m enjoying watching “Erased” again. I really appreciate the story setup and it’s so good even the second time around.
Summer ‘22, Day 23
I love walking in the rain. I love the clear air and the splash of my footsteps. I love standing beneath trees and watching the water dance in the parking lots.
Summer ‘22, Day 22
I’m enjoying walking at night. It’s so quiet and peaceful. I also love the lighting environment at night and how different everything looks than during the day.
Summer ‘22, Day 21
Today I played piano! It’s fun to ignore music theory and just play whatever. I feel like I have to unlearn a lot of what I know to enjoy playing and not worry about being “correct”.
Summer ’22, Day 20
I had a great day today playing ping-pong, Uno, and hanging out with people. Campus isn’t so empty now and neither am I.
Summer ‘22, Day 19
Today I enjoyed playing ping-pong with my brother. I probably spend more time chasing the ball than actually playing, but it’s still a lot of fun!
