October Wrap Up & November TBR // It’s almost December???

Um excuse me but how is it November already??? Where do September and October go I really need to speak with them.

The past few months have been a blur of exhaustion I can’t even… I guess that’s why time is really slipping through my fingers? But really, personal life aside, the past 2 months have been progressing at breakneck speed in terms of news and entertainment, it’s crazy. I can barely keep up with everything, the world need to SLOW DOWN.

I honestly couldn’t remember what happened to me in October.

I guess it’s good then?? I remember the first 2 weeks were all fun and chill. Then the third week came, aka THE WEEK OF DEADLINES. Where there are deadlines everyday and presentation and just UGH.

The fourth week was midterms week for me. And then I got news that I won a competition and had to join an international forum and skipped my last 2 exams.

Not that I’m compaining, I mean heyyy it’s a free trip!!!!

At first it was pretty scary because it was so sudden (like two days before) and there had been an air crash at the day. It was huge, as the plane was brand new yet it crashed into the ocean and there were no survivors. So yeah, me and my parents were pretty freaked out.

But the event itself is amazing so far! I’m not home yet so I couldn’t make a full recap as the internet here was meeh and I’m exhausted, so I’m going to recap it next month 😁

On the Pedro front, due to the hell week and finals and the impromptu trip, I only met him once this month 😣 I’m going to have a weekend with him just the two of us though, so I’m looking forward for the puppy sit!
