Middle of the day post

So, im still really busy all the time, but right now i have some free time, and i kind of feel like writing something, so here we go.  Stuff is still going real well, although im starting to get worn down by all of the work.  Its not too bad, just that i feel like im going to need a break in a couple of weeks.  Weekends don't help, since half of them are spent doing homework anyway.  I could use a good 1-2 week break, if not now, then by the end of the month.  And when that dosen't come, i might start having problems with my workload.
As for games and stuff, ive been enjoying playing Sec 8 a lot recently.  I played online with Ben a few days ago, and have been playing a lot offline to get stars and stuff.  I still have a bit of an overinflated oppinion of my skill at Sec 8 from this weekend, when with a lot of lag and without feeling like i was playing very well, i topped my team's scoreboard repeatedly, and was competetive in score with the top guys on the other teams.  Unfortunately, we still lost most of the matches, since they were overall better.  But that was still neat, and of course got me fantasizing about joining a team and being a pro Sec 8 player.  Its really too bad this game dosen't have a bigger following, its pretty great.
Also, this weekend im going to go visit Sean up in Boone!  Only for a day or so, Saturday morning to Sunday morning, but hopefully we can get in a lot of good starcrafting!  I should play more the next few nights to get back into practice!  I just need to find the time...

So busy, so wonderfully busy

So, its been days since my last legit post.  My life is really, really hectic and busy right now, but not in a negative way.  I've just go to such stuff going on htat i don't have time to do it all.  Not even close.  Each night i have Theory homework, which i find interesting and enjoyable, my biochem professor has been recording her lectures as she presents her powerpoints in class, and then putting the combined files online for us to study, i always have some worksheet or another to do for German, my Music History class has a bunch of stuff i need and want to read and listen to and then write responses to, there is so much stuff i could be doing in the computer lab for Digital Sound and Music, and i have a new keyboard in my room for practicing piano and singing.  And thats just the schoolwork related stuff.
We have my roommate Zach's N64 hooked up to the TV downstairs, and i would love to have more time to play some smash bros with the others, as well as finally beat Ocarina of Time, a personal goal for this semester.  Jeremy, one of my housemates, has Magicka, and we've been meaning to start a playthrough together.  He is also the one who got me into DDO, which i havent touched in days, and which reminds me that i havent had a chance to talk to Ben since the weekend.  It feels like its been weeks.  I bought the new Deus Ex, which is really great and which i of course want to play all the way through, i want to still play some Sec 8, and i want to play more Starcraft with Scott, so that he dosen't lose interest.  I'm way behind on Totalbiscuit and Yogscast videos on Youtube, i haven't watched any SC2 streams or vods in a while, Jeremy and Zach keep wanting to play soccer in our backyard, which i want to join in, there is a Secrest Artist Series concert tonight which i must see, since they are always great, i have chorus class in 15 minutes and need to leave soon, i have emails i should be writing right now, i need to go get my laundry out of the dryer before i go, and about a thousand other things i can't remember / don't have time to list.  So, right now my life is crazy, and i kinda like it that way, at least for now.

Tomorrow

So, i haven't written in a few days. Im tired right now, so im also not going to write right now, but i think im going to stop waiting to only write these at night, like Sean does.  I have time during the day, and that is when i shall write a full update.  Tomorrow.

Life is good

So, i've generally been happy the past few days.  Im glad to be back at school and taking classes again, im enjoying feeling productive when i do work, im enjoying getting to know the other people in this house and hanging out with them when i would normally be intent on my computer screen, alone.  And not to say that i haven't had some alone time as well, which i have used to stay caught up on work and ESPORTS, and to play some games.  I finally found time to get out of the starting area of DDO, i downloaded th YoGBoX for Minecraft today, and have installed it, and i reinstalled League of Legends and Section 8: Prejudice on my new computer, although i haven't been able to play either.  I'm actually playing minecraft right now.  I'm also debating between buying Deus Ex now, since it looks like the sort of single player RPG i want right now, and waiting for the price to drop a bit.  Either way, i hope to find some time this weekend for some more Starcraft.  the thing is that SC2 requires enough concentration that i don't feel like i can just sort of sit down and play a match or two casually.  I want to be focused the whole time.  Anyway, its super late, and i should go to bed soon, but yeah, things are going well for me, im happy, and i should have more time to hang out with friends and play games this weekend!

Birthday

Today was a good day.  I got to start a bunch of my classes, which i'm looking forward to, i got to go eat mexican food with my family, i hung out with friends from the art house i'm living in this year, and i even found time to both be productive and play some more ddo.  All in all, a good birthday.  Now it's bed time, cause i have more Music Theory bright and early!

School starting up!

So, i sorta forgot to write a post the past two nights, so this should be a longish one.  Sunday was great, Sean and i watched MLG all day.  The finals were pretty great, with CoCa putting up a great fight versus Bomber before that terran powerhouse eventually won.  Then we drove home, talked for a bit, and then he left and i went straight to bed without remembering to post anything here!  The next day i moved into my new room on campus.  Im in a theme house with a bunch of fun people.  I allready knew a few of them coming into this, and all the rest of them that ive met are also really cool!  So on Monday i moved in, turned in my old laptop for a new one, got that all situated, and then went out for groceries and stuff.  I also saw a number of people around campus who i hadn't seen in a while, that was fun.  Yesterday night i laddered for a bit, and then talked with one of my housemates James (i think thats his name... curse my inability to remember names!) about games until late into the night, especially DDO, or Dungeons and Dragons Online, a free MMO that uses a lot of the DnD rules.
Today i worked on getting stuff sorted out for my classes, which start tomorrow.  I've got quite the lineup, but im excited for them, and hopefully wont get crushed!  I took a placement test for music theory, i bought textbooks, and i started the process for raising my course hour limit for this semester.  Then i came back to my room and started a character on DDO, which i downloaded overnight.  It seems pretty fun so far, and is nicely different from what im used to in a number of ways.  I think im really going to like the quest/dungeon system and the emphasis on group play.  James (?) even came upstairs after a bit with his laptop and started up an alt on the same server as Ben and I (Ben also started playing recently, and had mentioned it to me yesterday).  We had a good bit of fun together, and i can't wait to get off the tutorial island so that i can group with Ben, who is allready off.  Also, my brother finally reinstalled SC2, but we weren't able to play tonight, cause he was busy with some guild activities on WoW.  Hopefully tomorrow night!  Also, we all went out back earlier and hit some golf balls in our huge back yard, and talked about doing a fun art project involving paint covered golf balls and a huge canvas strapped to the back of the garage!  Seems to me like a good sign of the year to come!  Im listening to SotG right now, but will probably have to stop soon, so that i can go to bed and get up in time for class tomorrow!

Day two!

Today was another great day at MLG Raleigh!  First Sean and i went to a Target to get sharpies, so that we could get more pro signatures, then we went to the venue and got into it!  So many good matches!  The two heroes of the day for the foreigners were deffinitely KiWiKaKi and SeleCT.  They did well in Dallas, but have had a dissapointing last two MLGs, and are deffinitely making a comeback!  Also, EG.PuMa has been showing everyone why he is one of the best today, plowing his way through the open bracket to then go 5-0 in his pool!  Last but not least, im really interested in SlayerS.CoCa, a zerg player who seems to combine some of the originality of players like CatZ, Destiny and Spanishiwa with the refinement of a korean pro.  Deffinitely someone i'll want to watch out for in the future!
Sean and i went to lunch with his friend Megan today as well, which was fun!  Mellow Mushroom has great pizza!  As for what we did in the convention center when not watching games, we've both been trying to get more signatures from players, but they're often busy, and i for one always worry about bothering or interrupting them in case they might not be in the mood to sign things or take pictures.  Still, i really want to get signatures from a number of other people tomorrow, and am going to do my best to do so tomorrow!
