this month's post
Hmm, so I haven't posted in a month.. better get something in while it's still this month.
So, there was this thing called Manifest last weekend. I managed to not get too sucked into the running of the con (although I did a tiny bit of volunteering on the day). There were ups and downs. I did a lot more socialising than I did at previous cons, which was different and interesting. I think I managed it because this year I wasn't running around trying to coordinate cultural events.
Highlights
- The guy who sang "Rinbu Revolution" on Friday night (Utena theme in a really deep voice)
- Singing karaoke "Lost my Music"
- Drawing a really awesome Fearow in the drawing room
- The "How to run a Panel" panel - very informative!
- Anime Idol
- Collecting cosplay photos of the "Phoenix Wright" set , the "Ema Skye" set, and Apollo Justice
- Someone recognising the Beat and Rhyme pins I had on (TWEWY ftw!)
- Catching up with all the people from my high school (who are now in uni - now I feel old :O)
It was amazing how often someone I knew knew another person I knew. It was like, "At Manifest, everyone knows everyone!" *insert Twilight Zone music*
***
Last meeting of my YAA company. It hasn't really sunk in yet. On one hand, I sort of want it to finish so I have some free time again, but then again the team is such a good group of people and it's sad to not have the meetings with them anymore.

Starting to feel more stressed at work. Am I getting burnt out (at 2 months in?), or I just need more sleep? Too many other things stressing me? I don't know.
Too tired, busy, stressing, losing my focus... I should really sleep earlier.
