How is it August already

I went swimming today even though it was raining (lightly), yay minor accomplishments. I'm currently house-sitting for my parents and there's a great spot for swimming nearby, but due to a combination of bad weather and other plans I only went swimming twice so far. Better than nothing though.
Also, "bad" weather isn't really accurate, I like that it's not as hot and humid as it's been recently.

Recently I went on a bike ride for the first time in a while with my gf and found out that I'm even more out of shape (figuratively) than I thought, not great. I should improve that because biking can be very convenient. Maybe I should buy myself the kind of headphones I can use while wearing a helmet.

The second half of July felt very busy: my weekend classes started again, battleshipex was going on (the collection is open and currently in the anon period), work is approaching the busiest time of the year, and I had plenty of plans with other people. For example I finally bought a couch, and I finally made it to karaoke again!, yay, it'd been a while. I maaay (definitely) have gotten less than optimal amounts of sleep at times, which does not help my energy levels at all. But at least there were also many fun things.

Past Life, the new Life Series season, is great so far, one of my favorite seasons already only four episodes in. It's not an ideal one to recommend to new people because many of the best parts build on the history between the players, but I have been watching some episodes with my gf while explaining some of the background, and we recently finished watching Grian's Third Life too.
I'm behind on both watching and note-taking but I'm having a great time.
