Just spent my evening researching what I need to do to apply for the professional certification I've been putting off getting for five years... which involves emailing one of my professors from years ago to ask for a reference out of the blue 🙃 This small task has made me procrastinate on this to the point where he's probably going to go "....who are you??" but hopefully he'll help me out.

In other news, I'm almost done with my latest AMV! It's taken me a little over a month and an unknowable number of hours* so I'll be happy to finish it and move onto something else.

*I really need to start tracking this! I'm thinking it'll be like 15-18 hours at completion, but I don't really remember how much time I spent at the beginning... could be more. From what I can resurrect from file creation times and messages to other people:

2/20: 3 hours at least based on the clip timestamps
2/22: ??
2/24: ??
I took a break at the end of February/beginning of March to work on another AMV but I think I worked on this one too...
3/12: 2 hours
3/13: 2 hours
3/19: 3 hours
3/20: 1 hour

If I assume 2 hours for the mystery days, that's 15 already, with maybe 3 left to go... YIKES. Couldn't I have picked any other hobby which is less time-consuming 😅 That's six hours per minute of finished product!
