My holidays are getting shorter and shorter and I feel mildly concerned, because results are going to be released soon enough, and I'm not sure I'm ready to see them. I don't feel like I failed, but I didn't feel like I failed last year and I almost did, so feelings are no good in terms of predictions.
Since surgery I have been sitting around all day doing nothing, chugging antibiotics to prevent infections but not really taking any pain medication. Yeah, I haven't even opened my packet of codeine, and the paracetamol I took was for my cold before the surgery. I'm quite surprised by how little pain I've been experiencing- I don't think it's because I have a high pain-threshold, because I'm a fucking wuss when it comes to anything pain-related. Eating has been a real inconvenience- food keeps getting stuck every where, and chewing is a nightmare. It doesn't hurt if I just leave it alone, but when food jabs where my teeth used to be, or if I have to clench my jaw to bite, the ache is real.
Anyway, as of today my achievements are: finished watching a season of Free! and a season of No Game No Life- both of which are anime. Free! is actually pretty terrible in terms of storyline, but the characters are pure eye-candy and I didn't mind- the show was boring as hell for me, though. No Game No Life was more interesting in terms of story, I think it fell under the seinen category (more mature audience than shounen). I'll tell you what, the only difference between seinen and shounen is that shounen is about "friendship" and "teamwork", like, if you believe in things hard enough everything will work out. Seinen is more about how much ecchi can we possibly fit into one episode, like, the upskirts and the cleavage shots and w/e. Well, never mind, No Game No Life did do well because of those things, and it wasn't even a bad anime. Of course Sword Art Online (SAO) is in for a new season- I had a lot of negative comments about the old SAO, but despite that I'm still looking forward to season 2. My main problem with it was disappointment- it set me up for so much in the first few episodes and then it just turned into trash tier.
Speaking of trash-tier, that's where my LoL team landed themselves today. If you're not aware, I'm a huge fan of the North American LoL esports team, Cloud 9 (C9). I kind of got into LoL the same time C9 qualified for the championship series, so I've been watching them for about a year, and they've been my fav team since. As of this season, they've experienced some very, very heavy slumps and they've been losing quite a bit to some of the low-tier teams, while still trading blow-for-blow with the top-tier teams. This is kind of weird, because it shows that they ARE good enough to take out the good teams, but the way they lose to the lower-ranked teams is just completely baffling.
Today I woke up early(ish) to watch their match live, and it was like, the worst thing I've ever seen. C9 just got completely stomped and outplayed all over, and they did nothing for the entirety of the game. I can't believe I sat through almost 50 minutes of that shit. There were some points where I was hoping that C9 would make the epic come-back, but nothing happened and then the game just ended and I just--- like, wut. I'm pretty sad that they're slumping this hard, and they've been like this all season. I thought they'd get back to form in a week or two, but obviously not, and their games are really painful to watch.
Sadly because they're my fav team and I've been with them for so long, I'm still cheering for them. I don't think they'll make it into the world championships at this stage, given how hard they're slumping, but I really hope they do, because I don't really want to have to cheer for a Korean team at worlds (I don't like the Chinese teams or EU).
