A perfect town? ...Somehow I did it!

Welp... as it turns out, when Animal Crossing is your entire life and you neglect to play it for MONTHS because of school, you're likely to go insane. And better yet, when you start playing it again because you realize you're driving yourself up the wall you're likely to start feeling much better.

I thought I could get away with prioritizing my education by 100% removing myself from Animal Crossing - mostly because I had the foresight to know I would absolutely play Animal Crossing instead of working - BUT,  I have now come to the conclusion that there must be a healthy balance of AC and work.... lest I start kicking and screaming over weeds consuming my town again. My most recent method of executing this plan has been devoting myself to my New Leaf town. Its the most portable and convenient version of the game, plus I am of the view that the New Leaf hourly themes are some of the best (behind Wild World), and I honestly think my New Leaf focus is correctly placed. I've made some wonderful progress towards completing Bermuda NL, and had some pleasant surprises in town too!!!

The work I've recently been putting towards Bermuda's development has felt really good and now when I walk around town I can really feel it all coming together! There are pink flowers in beautiful patterns lining the whole town and all of its buildings, complemented by trees of all kinds and bushes in every variety excluding holly bushes. I've been making a point of talking to all of my lovely Bermudan neighbors, who I must admit I neglect at times, and I've not been disappointed.

Amongst the projects that Bermuda has benefitted from are the lighthouse, campsite, police station, and Brewsters Cafe. They've all added so much flair and life to the town, and I think this goes hand in hand with the fact that for this town specifically, I chose NOT to have all of the houses placed in a residential area and instead chose to let the houses be spread through the town. It gives it the vibe of a small village with a lively and loving population! And apparently, all of my villagers feel that way too because as I was deciding what to put in the space along my southern cliff face when I noticed the bright white of a beautiful lily of the valley! My first ever NL Bermudan lily of the valley was a total surprise to me, especially considering that the last time I checked with Isabelle a few days ago she told me that folks thought the town was too messy and 'like a garbage dump'. Ouch.  I cleaned up the gardening supplies however, and seemingly thats all it took to have the perfect town - so now I live in a town that not only feels beautiful but IS beautiful! 

I'm pleased to know that all of my hard work has paid off, but now I need to decide where to put the flowers. I do have a little fenced area across the bridge by my house, but thats only enough space for 6 of these stunning little plants... guess I'll have to work that out later.

I'm going to end this post here as I am busy writing coursework (and another post about the Animal Crossing film released yesterday 'Mask' :p) - So Im going wish you all well and love you and leave you! <3
