You can kinda see that blogging hasn't been my main priority right now. But I've been busy! Soo let me tell you about all the things that have happened in this past month c:

I spent some time with my relatives in Middle-Finland 'cause I haven't really got time to do that since school has kept me busy. But there was also an anime convention where I was doing volunteer work so I had to go there anyways~ To be honest, I didn't enjoy this year's Animecon that much, something just wasn't right. Our schedule failed miserably and we only got to see two programs though we were supposed to go to see eight. They were either full or the lecture's that we were listening went over time and we couldn't get in to the next ones. But still the programs that we saw were great! There was an lecture about DRAMAtical Murder's character's psychological issues and an anime concert which was played by an real orchestra. There was also a visiting opera singer which made the concert even more amazing *-* I got chills all the way through the show and almost shed a few tears when they were playing Legend comes to Life from Pokémon ;w; Here's a clip if you're interested!

My badge for the weekend! I had to blurr my real name though :'D
Creepy hallway, yay! This was at the accommodation and if you wanted to take a shower, you had to walk at the very end of it


But well yeah, me and my friend were working at the accommodation during the night between Saturday and Sunday. Our shift started at midnight and ended at 6AM. The shift itself wasn't that bad, in fact it was actually pretty fun but oh my did I feel awful when we went to sleep in the morning :'D I can honestly say that I've never felt that bad and I've stayed up for more than 36 hours before. I felt like dying and my friend wasn't that great either so we decided to skip the last day in the convention and head to pick up my mom from my aunt's and head back home. It was a long 5 hours in the car but we made it back and after a good night sleep I was fine again~

From our shift~ The sun began to rise
~~~

On our trip to Middle-Finland I went to sign my rental contract and now me and my sister finally have a place for us when our school starts next month! c: I'm actually moving this weekend so I've been busy packing and meeting up with my friends for the last time ;-; Well I know I still get to see them but it's not easy to use public transport to get here. But luckily there's the internet!

Oh yeah, my friends were thinking what we should do together before I leave and they decided that we were going to see an abandoned mental hospital. Like really? This is how you're gonna say goodbye to me :'D It was 1 in the morning when we arrived there and before that I never thought what kind of a wimp I am in those kinds of situations but man... Let's just say that I never wanna go there again :'D Like the creepy hospital and all the manor houses surrounding it weren't bad enough, I was freaked out by a person who was standing on the road that lead to one of the manors (there are still living there so yes, it was a real person :'D). And here I thought that all those horror movies and games had made me a braver person but nope! A total wuss :'D

~~~

I also spent a night at my friend's cabin where we went to mow the lawn before~ It was great! We did some BBQ, went to swim and spent a night chatting about life ´u` A proper quality time with each other~

BBQ in the rain, yay!

Yellow watermelon o-o

I've started to follow five new animes that began this month and oh my do I have a busy schedule now x.x I still have Haikyuu!! from before and I still haven't finished DMMd re:connect orz So far I've been pleased to almost every one of these animes. Aoharaido has been amazing and so does Kuroshitsuji ~the Book of Circus~, Love Stage! and Free! Eternal Summer have been okay but I'm not that keen on them so it's alright but oh my god the anime adaption of DRAMAtical Murder... I seriously almost started crying when I watch the first two episodes, so bad. You can clearly see that they've a ridiculously low budget when they're making it and I'm surprised to see that it look like people don't care that much about it and still are saying that it's awesome. No it's not! Aoba sit derping in every god damn frame when it's not a close up of him and the animation is so stiff. And they've even used the pictures from the game in their animation, like seriously? =__=  I know that Studio DEEN isn't really that great studio but still, have at least some quality in your animes! And oh my how can you accidentally release a beta version of an episode? Who does that  щ(ಥДಥщ) Luckily it was just a beta since I was shocked when I was the latest episode... I mean if Aoba is supposed to look like this and then he suddenly looks like this and this I thought that the studio was just messing with us and thought that we would enjoy everything they made at least it included the DMMd characters... And when Aobas hair and clothes' color changes in the middle of a scene? Oh my.... But one thing I've noticed! The studio must really love Koujaku since there hasn't been a single derp frame of him yet. Not that I'm complaining ´u`

But that's what I've been doing these past weeks! Now I'm getting back to packing and starting to get ready to move out~

With love,

Miki
