[FGO Salt] Pulling for Enkidu, Got Ereshkigal

Goal: Get Enkidu

Resources: 330 SQs + 25 summon tickets

Outcome: 3 heart attacks from gold lancer summons --> Eresh + Parvati + Zerklot + Vlad III (Extra)

I mean, I’m glad but the reason I play FGO is because of Gilgamesh and Enkidu you know. I level up servants I simp over even if they’re not the best servant to level up (looking at you Gawain). 

I honestly want to add #rateupisalie but technically I got the other 5* pick up on the banner

[FGO] Chapter 17 Arrow 2

SPOILERS AHEAD

Just...no. I don’t want to fight. I could have chosen a Saber+Berserker team to finish this quickly but I honestly want Siduri to have a final moment with her friends again. I just want the gang back together even for a moment :’(

I bawled my eyes out during the anime. Who knew the game can make you feel worse just by being the doer and not the observer.

Remember how you beat Gawain by level grinding Euryale, Robin Hood, Arash and David. Put the same effort you did into your studying.

Redemption Arc: Thesis in a Fornight

Watch me do an RRL and RnD within two weeks. 

Masterplan

Week 1 

Breathe and calm your nerves. You can do it.

Check university data. Apply for needed documents. Pay if needed. 

Message a friend to help you with the statistics.

Message your adviser and explain your situation.

Write RRL outline. 

Write 1-2 topics per day. 500-1k words each. It’s just like doing your research for Bio 164. Nothing special. Topic is pretty cool though, so pretty sure you’re interested.

Week 2

Analyze data. Persist even if you want to puke. You can do this. Remember, you actually like this topic. It’s the fear of dissapointment that’s horrible. 

You like to grind your tasks so data analysis won’t take long. It’s the stat part that’s problematic.

Summarize in Excel.

Analyze results with the help of friend.

Write discussion which is, like, from your RRL-ing so not much could be added from what you wrote before.

Write conclusion. Again, not much different.

Ask friends to proofread (min. of 3 friends)

Ask sister to create manuscript defense ppt

Submit to prof.

If all else fails and you still think that punishing yourself in absurd ways is better than this, you can still continue till next semester. Nothing is worth sacrificing your mental health for, not if it’ll cost you everything.

Yesterday, I bought a rose cabbage Echeveria sp. but found out that its older leaves aren’t supposed to be this flat.

I found a youtube video, also from my home country, which discussed how to rescue this almost-pancake look. Here are her steps/reminders:

Make sure to have a good, super dry soil mix (plant culture mix + akadama soil)

Use bright shaded light in the morning and grow lights at night till 10PM

No water nor air dry, plant immediately

Do for two weeks

Afer two weeks, water 10 mL around the pot rim every 4-5 days

Bright area, super bright but not direct sunlight (prevent sunburn)

Signs you’re doing something right:

Stem is healthy

Rosette is compact with no signs of disease

Leaves at bottom aren’t soggy

I found here how to properly transplant the rose cabbage. Wish me luck

Progress Report:

Day 1 (10/19/20) - Bought plant, transplanted to pot with ordinary loam soil 

Day 2 (10/20/20) - Researched and found out the extent of my ignorance. Will probably air dry and put cinnamon later
