i need to hop back on that exercise grind UGH. over the holidays i let myself get pretty out of shape and now i regret it...

ive also been drowned in assignments immediately. i need to catch up however half of my mind is still in vacation mode. at least it was relaxing? i had a lot of fun, don't really know how glad i am to be back but at least i get to see my friends again.

screentime was 5h04min, im still aiming for under 4h but im not too mad because most of that time was spent studying. itd be worse if all i was doing was scrolling tumblr but luckily thats only some of it.

things have been absolutely awesome without exams or tests or any stress at all i have so much time for everything it's beautiful

im sorry about the kinda ominous title (end of an era...) but this will very likely be my last update for a while. i don't really have very much study to update on, and i am approaching the end of the year (both the school and calendar one), so i don't see heaps of point. i may do a rare one in between but for now i'm just going to focus on having joy!!

my screentime average this week was 4h30m which is a little higher than last week but not massively so that's pretty good. im going to try for below 4h in the future. it's good that im making progress though!! yippee :)

it's been a good year yall

im actually so happy that exams are over omg. i do have to go back to school however due to the fact we don't really have any more assessments it doesn't matter and i can do whatever i want :)

screentime was a lot better this week!! 4h15min which is a whole 2 hours better than last week! plus i think it's my best time so far. my constant crosswords probably is doing a lot for bringing it down lmao 😭

halloween was so fun - we went as pirates and ATE it up. anyway an update on the screen time predicament: my total average was 5h15m, which is a whole hour and a half better than last week! still not great, but better. considering i usually average about 3-4 hours at school, that's not that bad. i guess. idk.

i have like heaps of assessments in the next two weeks, and then exam block after that. hopefully they go well?

challenged myself to not use tumblr at all except for this update over the weekend and then checked my average screentime (6h45m in total) and felt horrific so i think i'm going to fix that.

obviously some of it is out of necessity from school and study but 7h is like... what the hell. that's not okay. i figured this place would be the best out of any to fix that! i'm going to uninstall my mobile version of youtube because shorts is a plague. i'm also going to make sundays (my update days) my only tumblr days. hopefully this will make a dent in my time, i'll report back in.
