3000 Sous-titres en Français
Je peux traduire au français plus vite maintenant. Je me suis vraiment améliorée. On ne peut pas dire la même chose concernant mes habilités sociales pourtant vu que j'ai été un peu embarrassante parfois mais bref j'ai eu des personnes qui m'ont aidée tout long à trouver des projets et même m'ont recommandée pour le statut QC. Maintenant j'attends.
Et je m'en fiche de ce que des gens pensent de moi ! Puisque j'ai atteint mon but !

Sixth Sense
I went to visit a potential apartment for rent, alone. I don't know what made me want to go alone, but I've always liked the area. It's a vibrant, colorful, trendy and safe-looking area with many shops, restaurants, bakery and ice cream shop. The apartment's price includes heating and hot water, stove and fridge, and if I choose to live in the semi-basement, it would be also cheaper.
To be fair, it was on surface a successful visit. The girl I met seemed calm and nice, but people can lie through their smiling teeth, so who cares. I definitely don't trust people a whole lot nowadays, and I know how people in their 20s lie, being one myself. (Still I arranged a visit alone, so minus points). The apartment is nowhere near the photos she uploaded though, a bit run-down, but expected.
I went home with somewhat positive thoughts, but there was this nagging feeling. I kept randomly thinking of the word "stabbing". I chalked it up to my paranoia and chuckled a bit whenever I randomly imagine her standing over my bed with a knife. She was planning to move to a smaller apartment in the same building because she "didn't want to live with a roommate anymore". Though, it was what she told me after I said no when she asked if I was looking for a roommate myself.
Flash forward to today, I'm still having thoughts about the apartment, even though we've decided to get another. Randomly I search for apartments on the same street. Whaddayaknow? I came upon an article about a stabbing from a drug deal gone wrong in one of the buildings on the street. Guess the address number of the building I saw in the picture. Yeah, it's the one I went to visit. I squinted: it's blurry, maybe it's not that number. But no, after a google map search and comparing the appearances of the building in pictures, it's definitely that one.

Forever 21 Purchase Trap
You cannot get a refund at a store, only credits and exchanges. Therefore, when you walk out you must make sure that you absolutely want the items and that they're perfect for your needs. The quality is par for the price. Look for faults in sewing lines, inconsistent sizing, etc.
Obviously, if you order online you'll not get free returns, though they do offer free delivery over a certain amount of spending.

Rune Factory 3 - All Bosses (Speed Run)
All bosses defeated within the first in-game week. At the lowest levels managed, these took some efforts. You can't simply wander into a dungeon and fight its boss. You must unlock events, triggered by the building of the facilities in your house - upgrading forge, apothecary, kitchen etc. in order to synthesize the right item for the next chain of events. The clock ticks 1 minute in game for every 1 second in real life. This is a game of time management. There are so many things to do, tending your farm, fighting monsters, taming monsters and feeding them, mining ore to make your own weapons and armors, fishing, harvesting crops, fruits and wild plants to make your own food (or your energy will run low and you'll eventually faint until the next day, losing "precious time"). Upgrading your house costs a lot of money, which you earn by doing all of the things above and selling any items you obtain and don't use. All the while, you should make time to talk to each villagers to build friendships and love points, as the objective of winning the game after all is still getting married, like your average Harvest Moon game.

Two Quarters with the Same Low Income
One consists of sketchy, self-destructive, leeching people and one consists of hardworking, better dressed people.
Life with a Purpose and Achievement
I have anxiety and get stressed out easily worrying about what people think. But when I look at my work, whether it's a freshly subbed episode, a game video, a recent purchase or newly acquired knowledge and experience, a smile is put on my face.
