The government announced new covid restrictions for my country yesterday evening, in anticipation of the Omikron variant of the virus. Though many media articles I've seen say that this new variant is not as dangerous as other variants, the government still decided to go into a full lockdown. Everything is closed, except for essential stores such as supermarkets and drug stores. School is closed too, except for practical classes and exams. I just wish it would all be over soon, but it all just seems and endless cycle of lockdown, slowly opening things up, discovering a new variant, closing things down again, vaccines, boosters, whatever. It's tiring.

Since I only have practical courses, I still get to go to school. In the coming week, I want to finish one project, and make some progress on another. I guess I'll just have to work on the rest of them during winter break. I realized I only have 4 weeks left, including winter break, and it's making me nervous.

Spend a huge amount of money today on mostly computer things. Almost 200 euros, something I never really do. At least it was all second hand. I bought hard drives for my NAS, cpus, a computer case for my new build (that will probably not be built until mid 2022), and a Lip Service jacket.

And I rediscovered my old Nintendo DS Lite with Pokemon Platinum! God, I love this game. Never liked how grindy Pokemon always was, but the rest of the game is good. Torterra is my baby. Baby boi.
