Just finished the homework assignment I've been busy with and slightly stressing about for the past few days. I hope my teacher will like it, but otherwise it's only 10% of my grade anyway. I have nine days before I have to go to uni again, so I can now first chill before I get back to homework. Very welcomed.
Just checked the news and Jesus CHRIST. Apparently most people nowadays use AI to write their Masters Thesis? YOUR FUCKING MASTERS THESIS??? You're telling me you spent four or five years at uni and you can't even get yourself to write the magnum opus of your study years? Are you fucking retarded or something? I knew there would be some people using AI for stuff like this, but RTL Nieuws did research using Pangram and the majority of students actually use it to write at least parts of their final essays, with about 20% having most of their essays written by bots rather than themselves. Of the four students that they interviewed who used AI, three of them had sources in their bibliography that DON'T EXIST.
God, it pains me to live on the same planet, even the same country as these pathetic imbeciles. I know the saying is "hate the game, not the player", but in a case like this, I hate both. These people are not worthy of their diplomas. They're not even worthy of breathing oxygen. If only I could commit suicide on someone else's behalf...
Anyway...
Oh yeah, and our gay prime minister is getting a kid. Neither him nor his boyfriend is the sperm donor, and yet they're choosing to have a child made, not to just adopt one. For fuck's sake, you're gaying wrong. It's bad enough so many straight people get babies, but gay people get extra time to think about this stuff and they still decide to put a child on this wretched Earth rather than shelter one that is already in need of love and support.
It feels like the world is all messed up and dumb. Stop putting dumb kids on this cruel Earth. They will be useless and depressed. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you.

Fall break has started! Last week was quite hectic because I was just starting to recover from Covid and then on Thursday I had a test and I still had to do all my reading for it by Tuesday. :P But I think it went okay. It was fucking stressful, though. We had to read the sources from this week in advance, and then we got a completely new double-sided-page source and they wanted us to compare the freedom of movement of slaves around Charleston, South-Carolina, in comparison with that of slaves on British Caribbean islands, while referring to the new source. It was interesting, but our idiot teacher thought we could do this in 50 minutes. Mind you, this was HANDWRITTEN, not even typed out. He ended up giving us 10-15 minutes more towards the end. Probably because only two people had finished by then and we still had 3 minutes to go. :P
The next class was just pretty chaotic because Julie had gone home because she's been feeling sick (I miss you, bitch!), Myrthe had slept for only two hours that night, and my brain was still fried from the test. And then our teacher expects me to just go do my research about eugenicists in the United States. But eventually that class was finally over and I got to go home. Ate fish sticks and then went for a three-hour nap before dinner, and then after dinner slept for thirteen hours more. Didn't do much yesterday, and today I need to pick up a parcel, but otherwise I have no plans.
Tomorrow I'm going to check out Sam's new house. I miss their old house already, but I am curious to see the new house. I think they have chickens now? So that's pretty cool. (Although not great for camping in their backyard because those creatures shit everywhere. </3)
Anyway, the coming two weeks are exam weeks, but I have no exams this block, so I pretty much have a two-week autumn break. Really nice. Still need to do some shit in the house, but hopefully I can also already work ahead a bit so November won't be too chaotic, since that's a pretty busy month.
I'm hyped for the holidays! All of 'em!

Both the Lions and the Broncos are playing right now and I've been spending my time being responsible and studying instead.
The past two days have SUCKED. Yesterday I could barely do shit because my nose was running the whole fucking day. Slept 15 hours or so again. Today (or I guess yesterday, since it's night already), I felt really weak and had no appetite and had a headache all day. Worst day of it all. But I guess it just got worse just before getting better, because ever since eating stuff in the evening, things have been getting better. I don't feel 100% yet, of course, but my headache is gone and I am not as overstimulated by lights and my head doesn't feel as weird. Shouldn't go to bed this late while sick, I know, but I've been enjoying the fact I'm not actively suffering anymore. I'll do the Habbo fishing derby at 2:30 am and then take a shower and go to bed, I think. Glad my body seems to be getting over it now.
I think it might be COVID-19. :P Doing much better today than the past two days, though.
Yesterday was really annoying. My sore throat went away throughout the day, but I started having a runny nose the entire time and constantly sneezing. I went to take a nap yesterday afternoon just because the only time my nose wasn't running was when I was lying down. Between yesterday afternoon and today afternoon I probably slept for 16 or maybe 17 hours. No sore throat anymore, and my nose is not as runny as yesterday, but now I've got a headache. :P I'm going to crack open a Monster and just hope this shit is done soon.
Last week, Julie, Myrthe and I were talking about being sick and I said I have only been sick once since the pandemic and that my immune system seems to be better than before.
...Guess who got a cold last night. :P
Although, in all honesty, it's not that bad this time. Not nearly pre-pandemic bad. Mostly just a sore throat and a bit more snot than usual. It's only the first day, though, so it could still get worse. e_e I really hope not, because I'm really annoyed about missing class. Today was okay because I learn barely anything from those lectures, but tomorrow is a very information-heavy lecture, but I doubt I'll feel completely healthy again tomorrow morning. Wondering if I should just go and risk infecting others or if I should just miss the lecture. I did finish all the readings for that class for this week already, but I still don't want to miss anything...
This sux ballz. :P

Happy October, you sons of witches.
Recently I got ID'd while buying Monster Energy? They wanted to see if I was 16 or older. I'm 23... I've not had this happen for a long time (probably because I've mostly been buying my energy at the same store for years now). And then a few days later the same thing happened to Yori, but at a different store? Yori DEFINITELY doesn't look like a minor. They are huge and have the clothing style of a gothic hipster grandma. Seriously weird, lol.
Also, Hyves is back. It's this Dutch social network that they shut down in 2013 because most people left for Facebook around 2010-2013. It used to be fucking huge, though. I used to be on it when I was a little kid, and I was insanely hyped to hear the actual owners of the site were bringing it back, but so far it's just a vibecoded mess. It is barely functional, a lot is broken, there is barely anything to do yet, and it doesn't look like the original site at all. It seems that all of the programmers just... have no idea how to program. It's laughably bad. But I have hope. The site is owned by a big Dutch newspaper, and the hype is huge, so they have the means and the reasons to actually go ahead and create something good. Just lay off the fucking clankers.
Anyway, today we drew names for Secret Santa for Sinterklaas (Dutch Christmas). Way hyped for that. I love the holidays. But first Halloween. And Winter Comic Con. Oh fuck, what am I going to wear to Winter Comic Con? :P
Oh yeah, and uni has been mostly fun so far, although yesterday my teacher (of whom I was glad that he didn't show us any more of his stupid AI chatbots of the Founding Fathers) (yes, he actually made those last Christmas instead of spending time with his family) decided to explain a "difficult reading" (it was really not that difficult) by prompting AI to create a visual of reasonings for what happened in the reading. It's wild to me, because he must've had the bullet points ready to put in the prompt, so... why not just give us the bullet points...? Glad we're wasting our drinking water and electricity on this! I kind of want to email him and tell him that what he's doing is the lamest thing ever and that it honestly feels disrespectful to the class like we're toddlers who can't just read bullet points and need pictures to stay focused, but I don't know how to go about it. God, how do you even reach old people? They're like fucking aliens sometimes.
Oh well, TGIF.

Caffeine causes more dopamine to be in your brain? So THAT is why Monster Energy hits different than regular soda and makes me feel more calm and content.
Made a Plurk account that I'll probably forget about in a week. But hey, if you want to, you can add me on there. My username is WiNTERiZER.
Yes, I'm still alive. No, I'm not too pleased about it either.
I'm tired, but I don't think I can sleep with this temperature. Good thing I recently bought DOOM and DOOM II for my Nintendo Switch. Maybe I'll just lie half-naked on my bed and take out some bad guys. Sun's next.
At least the heatwave is almost over now. Just a little bit longer, and shit will go back to normal. Well, weather-wise anyway.
The only good thing about heatwaves is that everybody suffers as much as I do all summer.
My wounds are almost healed, but my relationship with my mother isn't. Good morning...
After wanting to go for ten years, I finally went to Comic Con for the first time yesterday. It was a lot of fun (aside from the AI-generated bullshit at some stalls). I'll probably post a vlog/picture dump video from it on YouTube soon. Right now I have a really bad fucking headache, though. Yuck.
At least I didn't buy that first aid kit for nothing...
My mother just said that Pulp Fiction is horrible and that Quentin Tarantino movies suck?! She's crazy.
Both my exams went well. My American history exam grade was just... decent. My American politics essay exam grade was really high, though. My South-America class grade also ended up being surprisingly high (given that I don't really care about those topics). I've passed all my classes without resits this year, so that's nice. Next year is going to suck, though. They've been moving shit around because the uni is losing money, or whatever. So they took out almost all the fun stuff and also the best teachers. Fucking fantastic. Should've killed myself in high school.
Anyway, my summer break's been quite eventful so far. I love being alone, but since my mother is almost always home I'm hardly ever actually alone, so I've been trying to get out of the house as much as possible. I've been hanging out with friends more. Not always just to chill, but also to help them with stuff. Anything to not be around my mother, I guess. She puts me so on edge.
Also a lot of birthday parties going on in summer. I have mine in August despite my birthday being in April, because then most people could show up for the party, lol. Last week was Yori's party, this week I'm celebrating my sister's birthday (followed directly by Comic Con on Sunday), and next week I'll be at Julie's birthday party.
What else do I have to say... Oh yeah! The Backrooms movie sux, LOL.
