In Between Class Days

It’s 4:30 in the morn­ing and I’m tired but I can’t sleep. Sometimes I like it when this hap­pens because I get up to do some­thing, and it feels so good to get back in bed when my eye­lids feel like they’re 20 pound weights. It’s only when I have to wake up ear­ly that this becomes a bad thing because when­ev­er it hap­pens I know I’m sleep­ing in.

The Problem With Freshman Classes

I feel old.

I’m forced to sit in class for hours, lis­ten­ing to the pal­try con­ver­sa­tions of the peo­ple around me. I under­stand that not every­one talks about some­thing intel­lec­tu­al every sec­ond of the day, but most of these con­ver­sa­tions are beyond stu­pid. What I hate most are the peo­ple who ask the prof ques­tions, and then say, “That does­n’t make any sense”. Yes, it does make sense. You just don’t under­stand, you fuck­ing idiot. Why are so many peo­ple so mega­lo­ma­ni­a­cal as to assume that they’re smart and able to com­pre­hend any­thing?

Holidays Season Games

One of the “prob­lems” around the hol­i­days sea­son is the flood of qual­i­ty games that come out. Publishers are always vying for that Christmas mar­ket, and set release dates so that peo­ple have ample time to wrap up a game and put it under the tree. I’m cur­rent­ly addict­ed to Tony Hawk Underground for the GBA. I’ve been play­ing some Prince of Persia, although with­out a con­troller it’s very frus­trat­ing. I can com­plete­ly under­stand why so many peo­ple have such good things to say about it, but I’m think­ing that it’s only playable as a con­sole game. There’s also Uru, which I still have to play and fin­ish with Trolley. Then there’s Double Dash for the GC I haven’t tried yet, and Wind Waker I haven’t fin­ished yet.

Good thing I already fin­ished Call of Duty before Christmas, and the Thief III and Half-Life 2 release dates have been pushed back or there would be no way I’d be moti­vat­ed enough for class.
