Sooo May. Honestly it felt like a really long month. But also it doesn't feel like it should be June already.

In early May I still had my medical terminology class. The final was May 12th, and I ended up with a 97% in the class! Finallyyy, I got an A in one of my online classes while working. XD Before when I was working part time I was taking two classes, and since I started full time I've just been doing one class at a time. I'm currently on a break between classes, but Physics 2 starts on the 26th. ToT After Physics 2 I still need to take Biology 2, statistics, and life & development.

Umm... Other than my class I was able to babysit my nephew I think twice, once with my mom and once without. We also all went out to eat together for Mother's Day. I also met my brother, sister-in-law, and nephew at the park and walked around. I saw a turtle, and possibly a beaver! I didn't know there were beavers there, so that was a surprise.

For my mom for Mother's day, I bought her a shirt and ironed a flower onto it (plus two little canvas zipper bags), and I decorated a frame with some mosaic stones. The frame turned out so well that I made one for myself too. XD

My mom and I drove out to a cross stitch store in Cincinnati and I spent way too much money there considering reading fanfics, editing, and crocheting are my current fixations. I did cross stitch a little bit this month, but I really need to finish like 4 or 5 each month to catch up on all the things I bought and I didn't finish anything. X'D

I bought my first squish mallow because I had Boxlunch money. It's a pink cow and I named her Mochi (because of an Avatar fanfic tbh).
I guess the only movie that my brother and I saw this past month was Guardians of the Galaxy. I really enjoyed it. We were gonna go see two other movies, but I feel kind of meh about them lol

As far as fanfics this month, I really jumped around in fandoms which is very unusual for me. I started with Stranger Things (continuing from April), and then suddenly I just switched back to ATLA. Then exactly five fics later, I'm suddenly in Naruto????? Reading Uzukage is reincarnated as Naruto fanfic???????? Then I read ATLA for like the next two weeks, and then upon seeing the last scene in the Mentalist, I did a pivot and starting reading Jane x Lisbon fanfics. They're so cute aksdhfkjsh ToT
My mom and Grandpa started The Mentalist at the end of April. I still had class, so I missed most of seasons 1-3, just watching random episodes when I didn't have homework. Then my class ended and I got to watch most of seasons 5/6 (missing a few big chunks in there because of work). I watched like half of season 7 too. SO. I'm now going back to watch all of the episodes and I love it. I'm not surprised because I loved NCIS and watch Forensic Files and stuff, but tbh I didn't expect that I would ship Jane and Lisbon? Idk why lol. I sobbed at the last scene though. They're SO HAPPY. Like both of them smiling just aksjdh T-T
Currently downloading episodes to edit.
I officially read 860,000 words on ao3 in May, but I read a bunch of Naruto fanfics on ff.net as well. At least I passed 1 million words for sure. A lot of the Mentalist fanfics I read were like less than 1K asfkjh

Regarding editing, I'm mostly happy with my parts for this month! There are definitely things I could have done better, but those were mostly just from lack of time and/or inspiration. Also that animation of Izuku was a STRUGGLE. Thank you so much to Yato for helping me with AE being mean. XD

Also this month, I was late to work by 50 minutes. A car caught on fire. And of course, it was too close to the exit for them to let people go by. One of my coworkers ended up directly behind me. She got out of her car and we talked for a bit about the insane people turning around to drive up the emergency lane, and the even worse people who were reversing all the way down the road in the emergency lane. I hope they got tickets. :)

Speaking of work, I seriously need to get out of retail. You know "I shot cupid"? Now I go around singing it as "I hate people dodododoodododooooooo... I just want to scream and shout at them, for making work difficult". It is not a fun time. And I'm just so fed up with the bad customers that I'm getting annoyed with like 80% of people. There's one lady I was like two aisles away and I swear, she rang the bell 15 times in about five seconds. I walked up there and yanked that thing up from the velcro to put behind me on the other counter and was just. "How can I help you." while wanting to scream. She didn't act like she thought it was wrong but I'm like aksjdfhksjghkjsdfhkjdsghk anger. X'D

So yeah! That was my May. 😂
