Too much Factorio

This weekend started out well enough. I got up on Saturday and went to tennis. Then it went bad, because there was no tennis, so I just did a ten-minute loop around the park. I read for a bit and then went to the supermarket. I had planned to go climbing, but I wanted to invite Corali and maybe Wyatt, and since I met Corali leaving on my way back from the supermarket, I decided to put off the trip until Sunday. Thus, I spent the rest of the day on Factorio, and had difficulty sleeping.

My plan was to go to church on Sunday. I didn’t go, and felt terrible because of it, so I wallowed in Factorio, and expected to do so for the whole day. Then I got frustrated with trying to make sulfuric waste water without ore processing (it’s basically impossible without tons of land or blue science), and decided that I was going to go climbing after all. I had a really good session despite tearing up two of my fingers. In particular, I decided on a goal of figuring out how to do the first long course as smoothly and effortlessly as possible. It’s almost like choreography. I also tried the second long course. I didn’t get very far, but I felt productive even so.

I woke up at 5:30 despite going to sleep around 1. I tried to go back to sleep, but gave up and studied a bit of kanji. Then I played Factorio until 7. I semi-automated blue science, but I have an aluminium bottleneck that was extreme even after I tripled my processing power. I think I’ll add another flotation unit or two, then maybe I’ll start making non-silicon glass next.

It was 18 degrees when I woke up, so I decided to come to school by bicycle for the first time since June. I was a little late so I pedaled harder than I probably should have and thus was a bit sweaty when I arrived, but I think if I hadn’t done that it would have been a very pleasant and refreshing ride. Today I hope to finally make a reservation for the farmstay for next month. I also would like to pick up my debit card which is at the post office, but I can’t quite figure out how to do so.

Honestly, I don’t think I’ll be doing either of these. I will probably go straight home, play Factorio, and maybe read a little. I read four chapters of a novel here at school, but it's a little slow so far and I'm tired of working hard to concentrate.
