Time to see how April was! I travelled home for a few days to see my family and celebrate my dad’s fiftieth birthday, and then ended my month wandering around the gorgeous Green-wood Cemetery after a wonderful shift at the Morbid Anatomy Museum! And, of course, I saw Avengers: Endgame twice, which has led to me starting a rewatch of all 22 movies. Should I do a post about that? I should probably get a good bit of the books I’ve read up and reviewed first!

Writing Done:

Nothing posted. Honestly, the month ended up being a wash, and I don’t know why. I need to work on making time for writing — it is one of my biggest issues right now.

Media Stuff:

• I saw Avengers: Endgame, twice! I didn’t write a review as to not just ramble about my thoughts, but if you are curious just ask!
• I watched The Perfect Date with Noah Centineo, which was….sadly just fine. Netflix is letting me down with its teen romcoms.
• I am continuing my Supernatural rewatch, but I definitely stalled out around season 7.
• Go listen to We’re Alive — you can start now and slowly binge before Goldrush is released! Also, it is celebrating 10 years!!

April Goals Accomplished:

• Camp NaNoWriMo Season! I have 30K words on the docket and I plan to win.
• Finish making andalite presents gulp
• Learn to knit! It’s a year long goal, but I am excited.
• Finish up a short story submission
• Tolkien Exhibit at the Morgan Library! I have to get there before it closes in May.
• Couch to 5K time

Mari and I made it to the Tolkien Exhibit! It was wonderful and didn’t allow you to take any pictures. The Morgan Library still remains my favorite museum in the city, though I do have a few exhibits lined up!

Also, I kind of started on the Couch to 5K stuff. Freaking kicking my ass into gear next month.

May Goals:

• Finish my short story and submit it
• Keep writing
• Get a new chapter of my fanfic out (IM SORRY)
• Couch to 5K for sure
• Potentially see something on Broadway
• Get caught up on reviews!
