So, I haven't been up to a lot lately. Just classes and work. My classes this semester aren't so bad... at least yet. My computer classes are really easy, but aggriavating. Mainly because I'm not learning anything at all. I have Political Science, which is really interesting, and the professor is really cool. British Literature is okay so far and Hypertext writing is really easy.

I'm working on my novel quite a bit. I got about eight pages of it done so far. I'm actually liking it a lot, well, everything but the first page. I've been writing a journal along with it, reflecting on everything and what I want to do. It might be spoiler-rific but if you want to read it, you can if you ask.

Hmm, I'm working til 4 and I don't have any homework..I may write some more....

to sleep when I want to.

Last night I went to bed around 10:30, as I was feeling incredibly tired. To my aggravation, I woke up around 2 AM fully awake and not tired at all.
I ended up staying up until around 5AM before I was finally able to get back to sleep.
Woke up around 10-ish and went my only class on MWF and hated it (it's MIS205 "Advanced" computer techniques or some crap like that). I wonder how many times I'm gonna need to face palm while sitting through that waste of money.

Thurs. was the real first day of class and I had 4. In order, I had: Visual Basic Programming, Political Science: Human Nature and Values, British Literature I, and Hyper Text Writing. I actually liked most of them (well, maybe just the professors) but it wasn't so bad. I'm in class Tu/Thu from about 9:30 to about 3:30 straight, but it doesn't seem so bad.

Somehow, I haven't felt like playing any games lately T___T Just haven't been in the groove I guess. However, I have ordered a wacom tablet finally, so I will be producing more art than usual.
On the horizon, I expect I'll be buying Dynasty Warriors 6 (Shin Sangoku Musou 5) in Feb. sometime and then Super Smash Bros. Brawl in March (pushed back again *sigh*). Not sure if I'm gonna buy any other games (I would buy Disgaea 3, but it would be the only reason I would buy a PS3, and that isn't going to happen for awhile... I'm not that desperate for a SRPG just yet. Maybe after it drops in price a bunch.... like in a few years... damn you Nippon Ichi, release your games for other systems!)

I have to work today for about 4 hours, but I'm sure it will go by fast, as I have a novel to read and I can probably work on some other work or something.

I'm not dead. Just haven't felt like posting.
Semester is about to start, and I'm not ready.

I just finished Utawarerumono today. It was a great series. The story, characters, and everything were just awesome. I'm sad that the series is done, but the epilogue at the end was good enough to give the series a sense of finality. The end was kind of sad, but it was still great, and I'm happy with the overall turnout of the series.
Now I need to finish Pani Poni Dash! I've only got about 5 or 6 episodes left to watch.
However, I think I'm going to go play Twilight Princess.

Somehow, I haven't broken down and boughten Fire Emblem: Dawn of Radiance for the Wii yet... I think as soon as Twilight Princess is finished...that's gonna be next.
Phantasy Star Universe Ambition of Illumines expansion comes out on Tuesday... but I don't have a huge desire to buy it... probably because I really haven't played PSU for the last two weeks. Somehow I've just felt like playing other things instead of PSU. I'm not sure if I want to quit PSU or not... but the feeling of having to play it (because I pay monthly for it) kind of sucks... It's like I have to go back to it or something... is this what being married feels like? Hahaha...

Anyways, I think I'm gonna try and get farther in Twilight Princess... oh... I guess I still have to do something for my cultural auto-biography tomorrow...

I'm at work, being bored.
I did something productive, so now I'm doing something un-productive. Following which, I will do something productive. Stupid homework.

So, this weekend was pretty good. John came up from Brookings, and we hung out and played games this weekend. It was a good time. We rented Gears of War for the X-box 360 and beat casual mode co-op. I really enjoyed the game. The system for covering and firing was really cool, especially considering that almost all new games are all run and gun. The limited amount of weapons was also nice, as there was only 1 rifle, 1 grenade, 1 shotgun, ect. ect. Managing weapons was never tough (although they need to give me my sniper more often or sooner.)

Last night after Kumdo practice, I went and bought a charging station and re-chargeable batteries for my Wii so I don't have to buy more batteries. I also ended up buying The Legend of Zelda: Twighlight Princess. I haven't gotten to play it much, but so far its pretty freakin' awesome. Derik bought We Love Katamari for the 360 and brought it over last night too.

I need to write another paper... ugh.

I'm getting pretty sick of school and work and everything. Ugh....
I need some time off or something.
Or some better classes.
I actually don't really have anything to post about today...

More pokemon madness...
I figured out who's going to be in my team (finally), the problem now is raising them all up to the appropriate level... this might take awhile...
Well, I have 5 hours of work (4 1/2 now) to raise them though...
Go team!

So, I guess stuff is going down... yeah.
It snowed today... boo.
Also, I played a lot of Pokemon Diamond this weekend. I beat the Elite 4 and am re-working my team, as I've replaced a lot of members not that I have the National Dex.
Not a lot has been going on.
I skipped two classes today I guess...

Hm, so.... not a lot going on today. Though it is Friday, so I hope I can do something fun this weekend. Doubt it though...

Watched ep. 5 of Clannad today, which was awesome as always. Ep. 5 started Fuko's arc, which is very interesting, as I have no idea how this is going to play out. So for, Clannad doesn't have the magical viel around the world, so Fuko's story is very confusing thus far. If it was Kanon or Air, then I could just label Fuko as something of a "Ayu" character, but it doesn't seem like that's going to be the case.
Kotomi was not in this episode, though, so that made me really sad. On the other hand, there was a lot of Fuko and her zaniness.
This episode was hilarious in 2 parts, one being that the stars are actually starfish and the other being when Tomoya pretty much convinced Fuko that he was a girl, and that "it" falls off sometimes. During that part, Fuko made this really cute face. I need to get a screen capture of it.

Hm, watched Hayate no Gotoku last night, forgot what ep. number it was. It was pretty good though. Nagi tried to take care of kids, but they were just after her fortune. Next episode seems to have a lot of Isumi in it, so I'm eagerly waiting for that episode.

Bleach ep. was awesome, as they finally introduced Nel Tu into the series. Rukia and Renji are also back, so I'm hoping that the series will pick up more (that is if the animation studio wants it to). The new opening is great, but I find the new ending song to be rather lackluster.
Oh, I got the Bleach Wii game too. It's pretty fun, but the fights can go really fast if you are 1. button mashing or 2. getting raped by someone's bankai. So either way, its fast. Have not gotten to play as my favorite Soi Fong yet, but I will unlock her today if I get the chance (Super Paper Mario is pretty damn awesome). I did play as Zaraki Kenpachi, which was pretty badass.

Guh, can't think of anything else to type about. Guess that's it. Ja~

I broke down and bought a Wii.
In much anticipation for DBZ Tenkaichi 3...
My will is weak...

So, I've gotten back into playing Pokemon Diamond again.
I caught 2 of the 3 Legendaries and just got my eighth badge.
Other than that, everything else is the same.

Saw this on Hawk's journal so I stole it.

In other news, I'm working tonight and I'm booooooooored. I don't have any homework to do (technically I dooooo, but I don't want to do it. Besides, its just reading) so I brought my DS with me and I plan to play some pokemons while I wittle (whittle) away the hours.

So glad to be done with tests, though.

Done with tests finally. Last one was today and it was really easy. The only test that I feel confidant that I did well on.
I watched the new episode of Mobile Suit Gundam 00 today, and I'm really taken a liking to the series. I can't wait until the next episode, as the Kyrios Gundam will be fighting, and I really like the design for it. Unfortunately, Dynames Gundam hasn't done too much yet, but I have high hopes to see it fighting more.

I got the new episode of Shakugan no Shana II this weekend, but I can't seem to watch it. I got about five minutes into the episode and I didn't feel like watching anymore. Kind of weird; so far my favorite part of the show is the opening song, hopefully the series will pick up soon.

Didn't really do much this weekend. Just got done playing some Halo 3.

Clannad is really awesome so far. It might be better than Kanon. Not quite sure yet, but I can't wait for the next episodes. I also can't wait till we get into Kotomi's story arc, she's so cute. My fav. character in the series by far. Fuko is a close second, especially because of her "DOKAN".
Sketchbook Full Color's is good, though I've only seen the first episode so far. The main character, Sora, is pretty cute. She reminds me a lot of Tenma from School Rumble, mainly because they have similar facial expressions, though their personalities are much much different. The art style is cute and seems to also remind me of School Rumble a lot.
The seiyuu doing Sora's voice is one I've never heard before, but she does a really good job. Noto Mamiko is listed as one of the seiyuus, but her character has yet to show up. Oh, Kotomi from Clannad is also voiced by Mamiko, another good reason why I like her character. Nonaka Ai does Fuko's voice, and she's doing a really great job too. "Dribble! Shoot! Yay!"

This is so cute and funny


Test tomorrow in Ed Psych! GAH! I'm sick of tests.

I hate testssssssssssssss.
Two more this weeeeeeek, I'm gonna die.
Worst teacher evaaaaaaaaaaar.

Sooo, I got the rest of my figures and I'm super happy! They are better than I expected. I even uploaded pics!

I have a test tomorrow, oh noes.
I got my Konata box in the mail, so I'm super happy. Also, some other stuff should be coming today.

Well, I'm back in Aberdeen. Not a lot to talk about.

I feel so lost right now, I'm not sure what I want to do anymore...
