alright real quick here's some stuff i haven't written yet that is notable:

1. woke up today to an email from tornadovps telling me heyyyy your email server
is acting as an open relay and thousands of spam emails are being sent from your
server this very second, might wanna fix that. so uhhh yeah lmfao that was a
stressful way to start my day. didn't realize my mail server was configured
improperly, i would've thought that something like this would've happened
earlier. either way uh i fixed the problem but now my ip is on some blocklists
and gmail is marking emails from me as spam. soooo this is, a pain in the ass.
current plan is to get some people to mark my emails as not spam and wait it out
for a few weeks and see if things resolve themselves, and if not, maybe either
try to get a new ip for my vps or just give up and switch to migadu or
something, which would suck, but i mean if i need to do it i need to do it, so
whatever i guess. tbh i'm pretty good at handling stressful situations like
this, like, without panicing. which is both good and bad, good because i can
actually do things without panicing, and bad because when things actually are
super bad i kinda just go ehh whatever and don't worry about it, when i should.
in this case it was just good but uh yeah something something something wow i'm
writing in the reality log
2. yesterday (actually the day before yesterday at this point) was really
fucking fun lmao. basically it was a presentation night in the house. we were
making presentations or whatever and presenting them and yeah. we had like 2
weeks to make them and of course i did the entire thing the day of, in like, 3-4
hours. which was honestly really fun. i decided to record a video for mine, it's
kinda like a mix of scott the woz and michael reeves but also not at all. it's
hard to explain, but for context i've been collecting pencils since 7th grade.
it started because i kept losing my pencils and realized ok i need to get
pencils at a rate equal to or faster than the rate at which i lose them. so then
it became a thing where i would grab every single pencil i saw and store them in
my backpack, and now i have a thing where i'm scarily good at spotting pencils
hidden on the ground when no one else sees them, and i have a huge pencil stash.
i don't even really lose pencils anymore lol but i have no intent of stopping.
but anyways the video was me walking around campus making a fool of myself
trying to sell and/or give away my pencils, the premise being that i need to get
rid of them all. i just wanted an excuse to make a fool of myself in public cuz
it's fun lmao. and it was super fun, and i'm honestly really happy with how the
video turned out, it's funny as hell. but the presentation night was also super
fun, there were a lot of really great presentations and yeah yesterday was fun,
i did social things wow that's different i guess. tbh, like, obviously i'm
dropping out and stuff, but this is the one thing i'll miss here. experiences
like this i can't really get anywhere else. i don't think this alone is worth me
staying, like i've already made up my mind, but yeah. it was fun, and also i'm
repeating myself now wow im very good at doing that
3. my roommate has been getting on my fucking nerves so much recently. like, for
SUPER minor things, and for just, existing. like it sucks but i'm just really
excited to never have to see him again lmao, i don't like him and we never talk
or anything and again it's weird cuz there's nothing super specific, it's just,
in general, he just kinda pisses me off for just minor shit.
