New year resolutions

05/01/25, evening

Slightly updated blog layout to start off the new year strong!!
The blog section was one of the first pages I have ever made for the site, and I wasn't exactly experienced with HTML back then, so it was in dire need of an update. The new stylesheet still needs some tweaking, but it's done for the most part. I can't believe that my sweet dear baby (AKA this site) is already almost 6 months old! It feels like yesterday that I started working on the homepage. The first version surely was.. something. And now that the site is getting to a good point, I was thinking about making a layout archive. I think It would be cool to include something about how the site was in its early days. Thankfully I think I still have some screenshots of it somewhere.

The cake my parents made.

During the past weeks I've been busy with the many family gatherings to celebrate Christmas and the new year. As per Italian tradition, we had a Christmas Eve dinner, a Christmas lunch, and a lunch for Santo Stefano (the 26th of December). Then I had dinner with my friends on the last day of the year and watched the midnight fireworks with them, and, lastly, a big lunch with my parents on January 1st. I enjoyed the celebrations of course, but they were definetly tirening! There is a lot of people talking at all times and a lot of socialising I have to do, so it gets pretty overwhelming after a while. Thankfully I had a couple of days to decompress before having to go back to studying.
Exam season is coming up, but I'm pretty confident I'm on par with the program. I've done a couple of test simlations our calculus professor sent us, and I got between 80% and 90% on both of them. So as long as I review everything and don't panic, I should be good to go.

Panettone : )

I'm really happy with the Christmas gifts I received! I got an alarm clock, a lava lamp, and some Steam credit to spend on videogames. I haven't mounted the lava lamp yet, but I've already got plenty of use from the alarm clock and played some of the games I bought (I've already started logging them on the Game Log!

New year obviously means new new year resoltions! Last year my resoultions were to take care of my health and to get my ears pierced, which I did! :)

So, here are my resolutions for 2025:

  1. Pass enough Uni exams to move up to the second year.
  2. Keep working on the site.
  3. Fag it up!!!!
