Entry #7 — I got a j*b!

I went to my first working interview on Tuesday and it went really well! I was afraid I wouldn't feel welcome but everyone was super nice. The veterinary (& nursing field in general) is known to have it's toxic mean girls so I was hoping none of that would be present. So far so good.

I'm set to start on Monday. I'm excited but also sad that my free days are over lol. On the bright side, I'll have money again haha.

I was so nervous for my zoom interview and it went well, then the working interview, and now I've got the job. I can't believe how far I've come! It feels like just yesterday I was uneasy about going to school for veterinary medicine!

Entry #6 — Thrifting, Boba, & Job Hunting

It's August now and I still don't have a j*b off...BUT! I went to a hospital that my program director recommended and gave them my resume with a letter or recommendation! So hopefully, I'll get a job soon!

I really wanted to get out of the house more so I went to a boba shop, got my Thai tea, and hit up some thrift stores. For some reason, they were all packed...on a random Tuesday afteroon. All 3 I visited were jam packed and they didn't have anything I was looking for.

So I guess you can say that this time was a bust. I want to go to the flea market or garage sales this weekend, maybe I'll have better luck!

Entry #5 — Neocities Down Again (っ_ ¬ ꐦ)

Neocities was down yesterday. I heard it's been happening a lot lately so I decided to make a backup of this website on GitHub. I should've done it earlier, would've been nice to have previous versions of this website so I can see how much it's changed in such a short amount of time.

I've been seriously thinking about moving over to Nekoweb, I mean, I was originally gonna make my website there anyway. If Neocities keeps going down a lot I think I'll seriously make the switch. I get scared that my website will suddenly dissapear lol.

Entry #4 — Repurposing Old Tech

One of my current hobbies has been repurposing and tweaking old tech I find in old storage boxes in my closet. It started with my Nintendo DS lite that I got when I was around 6 years old. It's in mint condition and I found all my games for it. Then I found my brother's 3DS and ended up modding it and keeping it for myself since he didn't want it. Now I've found our old PS Vita Slim but it has stick drift on both joysticks so I'm looking to buy replacements to fix it myself before modding it.

Yesterday I found an old Sprint Alcatel One Touch Pixi 7 (Such a long name lol) and got it up and running. The google playstore no longer works because it's running Android 5.1.1 and no matter what I tried, I couldn't get any google services to work on it besides the internet browser. I decided to give this little tablet a new life as my own little ereader.

I factory reset it and side downloaded an ereader app with my computer. It's been amazing! It's the perfect size, being about 7.5 in x 4.5 in or so (don't exactly remember) so it's big enough to read comfortably but small enough to fit in any of my bags. I can download books onto it by connecting it to my computer and I've been having a blast.

I'm itching to find another project to work on and I think that I want an mp3 player. They're cute, help me disconnect from my phone, and I've already started downloading my current spotify playlist to have as a backup in case I ever stopped paying for it (because I'm poor). I have this itch to go thrifting or go to the swap meet but I don't know if I'd be able to fix up a broken one. I could always learn (love me a challenge).

We'll see where this newfound hobby goes.
