❖ The Space-Time Rift v6 ❖ - :sirfetchd:

[Pendraflare]

Have fun drawing, Ashley! I haven't played the post-game at all yet but I am curious. And wow Dino that must have been easy (or I'm just slow).

Anyway, despite most of my Thanksgiving weekend being fun, yesterday was perhaps one of the worst days I've had in a long time. Not only was it miserable and rainy out, but...what else, I don't even want to talk about here. (I did post in another thread though, I'll leave it to that, some of you I'm sure already know why)

At least on a positive note, I finished Sword today. I don't know if I'll try to complete the Galar Dex or not, though, I did promise myself I would use only new Pokemon for this first playthrough, and I did. While the game itself I get the lack of appeal for, I really like a lot of the new Pokemon. I'm sure I'll get Shield for Christmas. Feels like there's a lot going on in the main story.

This club is probally going to outlive me. Regardless I'd like to be considered for membership.

Sure thing, welcome aboard!

@Thundawave Repede is definitely a good boi, he's able to fight with a dagger as well as ride on a snowboard. I drew him wearing one of his costumes after you complete a snowboarding course in a certain time, perfect for a Christmas avatar.

Imagine how big the Gmax Eternatus emote would be if it was more than a hand.

Imagine this

Whew, this week has been crazy and it's only halfway through. Every year the School of Music at my university puts on a big, hugely popular Christmas concert with all the choirs and the orchestra. Last night was a full dress rehearsal (two hours long) and we've got to do the show three times coming up. I love it to death but it really puts a squeeze on my schedule. Doesn't help that I've got two projects coming up.

My uni has a similar annual event, though just a choir no orchestra. I'm not a member of the said choir, but I'm doing AVL for my work-study so I get to sit through all three performances anyways :D

I'm not familiar with what AVL means. And what are you doing for your work-study? If it involves listening to choir performances, sounds like it could be fun.

Audio Visual Lighting. It's actually a pretty good gig as I get to go to most campus events free of charge. Choir performances, concerts, plays, speakers, etc.

 

[Thundawave]

Ooh yeah, there's a student organization similar to that in my college, and they're at basically every big event. Also nice to hear that your school's choir gets really hyped up!

I just had both my choir and dance performances. Time to avoid rewatching the videos many times as I procrastinate for finals.

 

[Pendraflare]

I'm sure those went well, Regine! Glad you had fun. :D

In the meantime, if you missed it, I went to New York City on Saturday. It was super fun out there, got to see the Christmas decorations and trees, and more importantly saw The Lion King on Broadway. It was super fun, I'm glad I got that opportunity. Definitely lived up to the playbill.

Hello Rifters, may I join pwease :)

Hello Rifters, may I join pwease :)

Whoa it’s a Connor! Welcome!

My brain is fried from my recent final, but it’s hopefully up from there. Got a paper due Friday and a show in a few minutes.

@ Pendra: Broadway is always a great experience. Glad you had the opportunity to see a show while you were there!

 

[Typhlosion]

Hey hey, welcome back, Connor!

Got my first "final" out of the way today, even though it was only a five-minute presentation for a chill class. Three more to go and I expect them to be not fun. But...I did find time to finish my living Pokédex! 807 species, up through Zeraora, currently on my Ultra Sun file. Now I'm back to HeartGold for a little nostalgia trip and then I want to start a Yellow Nuzlocke for my first challenge!

What show was that, Regine?

 

[Thundawave]

It was another choir performance, and we performed with a bunch of a cappella groups on the night before reading day.

I’m basically done with the semester now, and I’m home again! This time things are kinda strange because we’re spending Christmas in the West Coast, so my parents didn’t bother decorating or wrapping gifts except the ones for other relatives. In short, I have my Switch and Sword early lol.

 

[Diarkia124]

West coast you say

Oof not the Bay Area this time. I’m in Seattle because of course I’m exploring more places that never get sun. :^)

Any particular reason why Seattle?

 

[Thundawave]

It's another big city with lots of things to see! Literally everyone in my family has gone before except me.

Also, SwSh is good would recommend

Back home with my family in Virginia for Christmas break. Hasn't been too long at all since I saw them over Thanksgiving, but it's nice to see them again nonetheless. I was able to go watch both my brother's swim meet and my sister's soccer game.

Schoolwise, the end of the semester went better than I imagined. A healthy curve salvaged my physics grade, but it does feel like the least my professor could have done after how nasty his tests and quizzes were. Ironically, my lowest grade was for cell and molecular biology, my major class.
