.: Refresher Course :.
Well. It's been a long long time since I posted. I've just not really been in the mood to post. I'm sure some of you were just about to stop checking this :P
I suppose there has been a lot of goings on. I went back to school last Saturday, and am just now starting to pick up my pace and get back into the groove of school again. I'm taking only 14 hours of class this semester, because I thought it would be a nice break from the 17 I took last semester, only it turns out its 14 hours of harder classes so I'm essentially doing about the same amount of work as before. Only, I'm not getting as much credit for it, and it sucks. I took a proficiency exam for one of my computer science classes on Saturday (I came back the 14th, proficiency exam the 21st) and just got word yesterday that I passed it. So that was good news. I'm taking Mechanical Physics, Calc 2, a bad communications class "Media Literacy", and a Data Structure & Software Principles Computer Science class this semester... I went to late night for the first time at Busey-Evans last night, where they have chocolate covered strawberries, and cake... and pie... and cookies... Very good desserts. I started work again last week too. So far it's been going pretty well. I got a pay raise last semester too, so I'm hoping that pay raise will help make up for the difference in the time I can work this semester. Thats about all I can think of on the school front.
Not involving school, there hasn't been a whole lot going on. I bought & installed the harddrive I mentioned last update, a 74GB 10k RPM Western Digital Raptor. Still haven't bothered installing most of the programs that I had on it before, (I did reinstall Windows on it) but I'm sure I'll get around to it sometime. Jordan's reading 8 Bit Theatre, finally. Which is good because that comic rocks, hardcore style. He likes it so much he even wants to make a shirt for it. Current designs are promising.
Now onto my virtual life... I'm slowly receeding from WoW because of my lack of time now (stupid homework), but when I'm playing I'm still having just as much fun as I used to. My guild is finally starting to run some high level raid instances with another guild, and so soon my character will be decked out in some pretty crazy stuff. I'm happy about that. It's been a long time in the making, and we've ran with at least two other guilds in the past, and both times it ended badly, but this time we've gotten really far, and our guilds get along pretty well too. Hopefully it works out pretty well for both of us. I'm looking forward to Saturday, which is our next planned raid.
Anyway... That's all the major news going on around here. That I can think of right now at least. I'm almost in the mood to write more to my xanga... It's been like, a year and a half >.< Someday...
