Digital Journal Entry

Hello world!

I did some budgeting for my world travels this summer, and it sent me through some emotions. I felt bad at first because my current money is sitting at a level I consider “fine” which isn’t good enough. I want to have a lot so I can be silly on my adventures, and do a fair amount of tourist things. “Fine” isn’t enough for that. “Fine” also means I will stress more if anything bad happens like a tourist scam or I get robbed etc. Luckily, I then realised that I have lots already saved for my eventual move to Japan, and while I shouldn’t be dipping into that on my Thailand travel, it’s good to know that I won’t just end up homeless on the other side of the world. This made me feel better. I definitely have enough for this summer, but I still have to be smart.

Besides that, I have been working and existing. I continue to read The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy and I’ve been really into playing Ghost Of Tsushima. I bounced off it a few months ago because it felt like a generic open world game (which unfortunately it still is) but on the Steam Deck it’s actually super fun. The combat is enjoyable and it’s pretty to look at.

Also, I am almost done with all of my university coursework! Things are coming together pretty well. I feel less stressed about my big move at the moment, even though there’s a lot of moving pieces that still need to be moved before I can feel completely happy about everything.

Thanks for reading.
