Nov. 21st, 2015 11:20 pmWHY did I think it was a good idea to sign up for TWO fic exchanges in November/December? It was stupid, and it's very stressful. I'm at least making some progress writing, but there's a lot still to do and then there's the editing. Ugh, editing. It's always discouraging because I'm never satisfied.
Related problem, I start to think I'm being productive when I make progress on fic, when instead I should be making progress on my thesis. Which I haven't for the past week and a half, which is Not Good. It's the end of November, how did that happen so quickly -.-
Today we fulfilled LB and mine's present to our parents for their silver anniversary: we played a room-escape game together and saved the world from the zombie apocalypse. It was a lot of fun! The last time we planned this our parents got sick so LB and I went with friends, that time we had to disarm a bomb. Today too there were some fun puzzles, but we solved them all, occasionally thanks to me which always feels good. I kind of blew up the frog instead of dissecting it, but hey, if it works. We only got stuck once: we'd found several numbers, with plus and minus signs before them, and we had to figure out a safe combination. We tried various different calculations, but they were all wrong, then eventually we realized we only had to enter the numbers one after the other.
We'll definitely play again and try another room in the future.
