What a busy week this has been! On the thirteenth I took the 20 hour trek back to the United States, which involved me waking up at 5AM to take the metro 北門/Beimen to transfer to the 桃園機場捷運/Taoyuan Airport MRT, to then take a 12.5 hour flight to San Francisco, and then a 4.5 hour flight to Indianapolis, plus some hours for driving out of Indy.

I had the pleasurable experience of barely making that connecting flight as I ran across the entirety of the San Francisco airport… would not recommend, but I do have to say the mountain climbing throughout 台灣/Taiwan gave me the stamina to make it. So shout out to that!

I have not done ratings for this week, out of sheer fatigue. The 13th was for flying and traveling, the 14th for recuperating, the 15th for my boyfriend taking me back to university, and the 16th and 17th for chilling and preparing for the semester. Tomorrow I will be moving into my apartment officially.

As a result, I don’t have entirely too much to say here, as I was also unable to really look at media!

I have been getting back into Europa Univeralis IV though! I started a Muscovy campaign in order to get the Russia formation achievement but honestly… it’s such a drag. I’m pretty technologically behind and I don’t feel motivated to continue playing. But maybe I should just do a suicide war with Poland-Lithuania and see if I can win, and if not c’est la vie. I am currently playing a Sirhind -> Delhi campaign, which is one of my favorites to do due to the mission tree and the conversion to Sikhism. It’s been going really well and I practically own Northern India. So I’m probably going to try and do a Bharat campaign?

Anyways, going to start working on lesson plans for the class I’m teaching, along with looking at the one syllabus that I have (which all my teachers were required to publish today…)
