Hello there, everybody.
How are you? I’ve been meaning to write more and more here, but I feel like… am I being petty? And then, I was talking to some coworkers, and I realized that maybe I should keep going, since I seem to keep… bringing myself down about a few things… so…. here it is, for Future-Me:

Hey there everybody,
I trust everybody is doing well! Ever since the school year started, I’ve been meaning to get SOME positivy journal entries going, but I somehow never got the time to? And now that I’m very close to the end of the first semester – when I have tons of things to do, here I am, sitting down and trying to write something.

Hey there, everybody,
How are you? I’m doing well, except that I just went through so much bureaucracy and mailing in order to get the PDF to get my Student Opus Card, that I decided to make it easier for myself in the future (and also for you students), because sometimes, I’m not very smart, and I don’t follow what the Concordia website wants out of me (to be COMPLETELY fair though, it doesn’t have images! How can I know which drop-down menu I should take?????).
Welcome to my weird tutorial!
