I wanted to use the time in May to work on and finish a new remix I had planned out already and to spend a bit more time on games to work on my backlog so I can cycle in some new games before my pre-orders start coming in the next 3 months. Getting the remix started was a small bit of trouble. It always is when I'm starting with nothing and having to build the basis for the track and trying to remember what I wanted the remix to sound like while working on it. But once I got the main parts down, filling in the rest of it was a lot easier. Despite the time I put into the work, I'm only about 50-60% done. I was hoping to finish by the end of the month, but that seems highly unlikely now since I want to do a bit of house work the next few days before my mom comes back from her trip. The remix is coming along nicely, but I have a lot more work to do before it's even close to finish and definitely going to bleed into a good portion of June before I finish. I still have a lot of work I want to finish before I fully update my portfolio and start applying for jobs again with it, so it's got me a bit worried. It especially has me worried since June is approaching. E3, Steam Summer Sales, Summer Games Done Quick, EVO and a few pre-ordered games are going to be impeding on my focus and productivity throughout the Summer as it usually does. Still, I'm looking forward to all those things this year and feel pretty excited that it's almost time for them.
In terms of completing games this month, I managed to get through a whopping 10 games! Unfortunately, they were all on PC with the exception of one being a mobile game. I wanted to focus a bit more on console games this past month so I can delete some games on my PS4 to free up space for the new games coming in the next few months (I really hate how data is managed and stored for PS4). I got back on my PS4 last night to try to get through more of Uncharted 4 since it's taking up 63 GB and Lapis x Labyrinth released today. Looking through a game guide, I'm only halfway through the game. On the bright side, I finished a good portion of my priority list on PC and am close to ready to cycle in a new batch. There are a LOT of games I want to play next on PC and so the next list of games is a bit intimidating. Even with the semi-extra time I've spent on games this past month, I feel like I'm still not putting enough time into them. There just doesn't feel like there's enough time in the day to do everything. Last month, all my time was spent on reading and working. This month, all my time was spent working and getting through backlog games. There isn't time for other things I want and NEED to do. I miss watching animé. It's been a long time since I've had time to sit down to just watch a show and relax (other than watching High Score Girl with my sister when I got back from Japan earlier this year). I couldn't help it and watched the first episode of Wataten yesterday. It's......weird to say the least, but it's filled with cuteness and humor. In terms of what I NEED to do, it's exercise. Taking the time out of the day to exercise is a lot more than one would think until you start releasing how much less time is taken out for everything else you do in the day. I did some walking every now and then this past month, but I need actual cardio.
I'm not sure what's in store or planned these next 3 months, but I'm hoping to get some work done along with all the fun that I'll (hopefully) have.
