Don’t worry, I’ll ace it and get a perfect score, cause that’s how it works of course
And after that I’m going to a book convention to try and find some manga and stuff
Will be a pretty busy day here
Hope all of your days are good too! 💜

Tonight there is a draft for a women’s pro baseball league and on Saturday I will watch the women’s soccer team I support play for a championship after their most successful season yet, surrounded by other diehard fans at a bar. I am living in a world 8-year-old me could have never imagined.
