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.

Post LAN Exhaustion

Must stay awake until 11. I’m try­ing to bake some­thing in the oven but I can’t seem to do sim­ple math to cal­cu­late how much time is left. I hate it when I get like this. It’s why I always always always need to sleep well. Whenever I don’t have enough sleep, I can’t func­tion for the rest of the day. I don’t need a lot of sleep, just eight hours will do, and I’m fine. Take away a few of those hours and I can’t con­cen­trate for the life of me. I can’t do any work, I can’t read, I can’t think, I can only sit and watch movies or play games until it’s time to go to bed again. That’s why I can get fair­ly grumpy if I’m dis­turbed by some­one sleep­ing with me or the fuck­ing false fire alarms that hap­pen so often in this build­ing.

It was worth it though. As Trolley said, home is a nice change, but can’t com­pete with cig­ars, ses­sions, games, some Trailer Park Boys on DVD, and a fun group of peo­ple. I think that hav­ing no real friends for most of my life has made me real­ly appre­ci­ate the time spent with the ones I have now.

A Few Moments Of Insomnia

It’s sev­en in the morn­ing, and the sun still has­n’t come out yet. I’m com­plete­ly exhaust­ed. I’m going to try to take a six hour nap, and then stay awake until night to put my sys­tem back on track. Nick says he’s going to go to sleep now and wake up at noon. I say, “Hahahhhahah good luck bud­dy”. I’m too tired to go to prac­tice (I’d be scared of falling asleep on the bus ride there), so I’m just going to spend the day fight­ing sleep. Maybe I’ll watch Midway, Ghandi, or Seven Samurai to keep me busy. Maybe I’ll install Sands of Time so I can stay awake. Gaming is the only thing that I can do with­out falling asleep. After all, I’m still awake at this hour.
