Hm. Today was pretty much a normal school day. We had Pizza for dinner (Yay!), but not much else happened. We watched a pretty cool movie called Free Guy, about a sentient AI, and I thought the concept was very well-thought out. I enjoyed the movie, and hanging out with my grandparents, but overall today was pretty boring. I'm just finishing up my project, and soon it'll be ready for testing! Although, currently I have no sign of a good tester. I keep on texting my friend Bennet, to ask him to playtest the skin for me, but he won't do it.

That's really unfortunate, because I can't test the skin until Saturday. Lately I've been playing a LOT of Dota. I keep winning more and more games, but every game I win I only get 20 MMR (matchmaking rank). Basically, I'm leveling up at the speed of a snail.

But, whenever I lose a game I lose 60 MMR, so I'm in a really tough position. I have to hold my ground, and if I falter for even the slightest second, I'll tumble back down the hill, and it'll take me three times as much work just to get back up to the hill. At this rate, I need to win 12 more consecutive games without a single loss. If each game is an average of 45 minutes, than it will take me 9 hours to get to Herald 5. Even though I feel like the ranking system is broken, because the minimum MMR you can gain per match is 30, I just have to keep chugging along. We're improving at such a rapid rate, I might not be losing a lot of games in the near future. I'm really excited to gain rank, as my friend Sam just did. Wish me luck,

Signing out.
