Hey! Just wanted to give you an update
1) I've gotten worse. I don't think it's flu though. I've heard a rumor that there's a new strain of covid in Uganda but it could just be a rumor. Lot's of kids have been getting sick though. Also, I am drinking tons of water and eating plenty of oranges. I already like ginger and lemon tea, even without being sick so drinking more of it is totally fine by me
2)I like to take walks with my little sister on my back around the house. It's fun, counts as exercise and it helps me wake up. So I'm good on that front.
3)My fav TGS song has to be the one in the beginning where he's imagining his own circius. It's so upbeat and fun. You can't help dancing to it. A Million years is beautiful too. And I was obsessed with Once I was 7 years old for a long time! I cry when I hear sweet music. I'm the oldest and I have 5 younder siblings. Two bros and three sisters. Our house is LOUD!
4) Being organised makes me feel like I'm heading in the right direction and it gives me structure, which isn't easy to get when you homeschool. I'm actually doing my IGCSEs, kinda like you! You're doing your GCSEs, right? Mine is the international version of that. I'm NOT a straight A student. I'm actually kinda average. I used to worry that would mean I was dumb but I've been engaging in a lot of activites that more or less required the stuff I learnt from school (kinda like this informal article writing) and I'm learning that I was never dumb, just bad at school. I haven't been to an actual school in three years now. I also have only three months to study for my IGCSE in Oct/Nov so being hyper organised is an essential to make the most out of my days. Though now that I'm sick I'm going to have to ditch the schedule for a while so I can get better.
It's not embarrasing to be inspired by an anime. Mashle's level of fitness makes me want to work harder too. And I love how indifferent he can be while still also being polite. I wish I could be like that too instead of letting little things get to me.
I'm not a manga reader, just an anime watcher so I didn't really get your 'Punch Squared' thing.
This is a learning process for both of us. I'm glad I found someone suportive like you. I'll have your back too when you need it!
