But delusions of actual readership aside, my return from Wallaby pretty much starts the countdown to my ORD. From here on out, I technically have enough off and leave to never set foot in camp until that fateful day, though I'll probably still go back once or twice for the sake of properly handing/taking over my duties. To think, in about a month and a half's time my routine as I have known it for one and a half years will come to an abrupt end. Honestly, I wouldn't know what to do with all that spare time.
Is it weird that I actually feel hesitant about my ORD? Or maybe more specifically, what I should do before and after the fateful day. Studying for SAT II is only half done; uni applications are also only halfway through; haven't even started on uni essays yet. Am I really ready to venture out on my own? Again: yes, I know it's my fault for not managing my time properly and whatnot; I'm not pushing blame or pointing fingers here, i'm just venting. Why can't you just let a guy vent?
On a less depressing side note, during Wallaby I started reading a webcomic called Homestuck. Well, "webcomic" is being used loosely here because a significant part of the Homestuck experience also consists of gifs, flash animations and even interactive minigames which all serve to present a deliciously complicated storyline filled with alternate dimensions, time travel and aliens just to name a few, as well as hilariously ridiculous running gags and jokes. It is a complexly woven epic which is also not afraid to take itself lightly and thus saves itself from being heavy-handed.
Look at that stunning character art. Isn't that reason enough to start reading Homestuck?
But seriously, irony aside, go read it. It's long and it's confusing, but if you have the patience to follow through with the introductions then you will enjoy it, I guarantee you.
PS: I'm still not yet current with Homestuck so NO SPOILERS!!!
