One Thing Done

Well, yay, I have one class worth of homework done for the day. How excited am I? Not very.

Not Enough Time

I am so tired, and so far behind in all of the work I need to do that I just want to quit today. Really I do. I don't want anything to do with school or anything else.

Bad day, I know.

Just Waiting for a Day of Goodness

I had a rough day yesterday. I spent over 10 hours checking, re-checking, and then re-checking again to make sure that I had everything correct on an editing class assignment and then promptly got everything wrong all over again. Just like the last time. I was pretty upset for the rest of the evening and actually almost walked out of the class for good. I didn't though, I just sat there and wished I knew what on earth I was going to do with myself for the next 40 years or so. It's not looking all that great at the moment.

In other news, Generation One: The Clan is pretty much a self-sustaining entity at this point due to some big help put forth by Gozar and Night Strike. We have some nicely arranged activities for the clan and are getting close to making a challenge to another clan in a small battle of skills. Thankfully, the G1 clan is something on Conquer Club I can just check in on and not run every small detail. It makes life a lot easier for me than you would think. After the forum revamp last week and the creation of the clan I was swamped for several days, but I think I have it all under control now.

Also, I registered for my winter semester classes yesterday, and it looks like I will be heavy on the English literature once again. I am going to try and finish up all of the prerequisites that I need for the major in one fell swoop so that I am not backed into such a corner with what classes I need to take each semester. Once I finish British Literary History, American Literary History, and Shakespeare I can take all of the remaining classes in any order that I want to at any time to finish the major. I also only have two more classes to complete for my Editing minor and about 4 more classes for the CHum minor. I will have my first web programming/design class next semester and I have to say that I am excited for that. Perhaps someday I will just be able to create my own website instead of having to depend on others.

Returning WIth Emootions

No, the title isn't misspelled. It is in reference to something funny that Holly said the other day when we were talking about something.

I took a couple of days off from the blogging to get caught up on a few things with real-life and after looking back I think it was a good decision. I have a ton less stress because I have completed all of my homework, Conquer Club is caught up after the tournament forum revamp, and in general nothing terribly stressful has happened in a couple of weeks. Hopefully that doesn't jinx me.

The holiday season is upon all of us and that means trying to decide on plans for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's. Right now my plan is to stay home and save some money. John Volk is supposed to be trying to come out to visit Holly and I for the Thanksgiving time period so we are hoping that will happen. He's a fun guy to have around. I'm still trying to decide how I will fill my time for the Thanksgiving break as it appears I will have all of my big projects for my classes due before the break actually begins. There won't be any catchup work for me to do as far as I can see. How nice!

Casual Saturday

It's been a pretty casual day around here for the most part. I slept in for a little while, even took a nap a couple hours later, and ate some macaroni and cheese. Other than that, I have watched a little bit of football, taken a shower, and thought about trimming my fingernails.

I will say that I have stayed away from Conquer Club for most of the day so far. I had to do several big projects for them over the past couple of days and wanted to take a little bit of a break this weekend. I've only checked in for a couple of minutes here and there to take my turns when needed and left the other duties at the door for the most part. Nothing terribly should happen while I'm on break.

Just Doing My Thing

I've spent a lot of time today doing different things. I went to class this morning, I turned in my homework, I found the power cord for my MacBook, I ate some Captain Crunch cereal, I stamped out a small revolt on Conquer Club, updated my new clan forum, announced the new tournament organizer forum, answered 25 PMs from players, did some German homework, a few things with my Editing homework, and now I'm just sitting here at the computer wishing I had something else to add to my already full plate of daily activities.

I know that in about 30 minutes I won't still have that feeling, but lately I've been thinking that I enjoy being busy. Not busy in the "gotta get it done or I will fail miserably" sense, but busy in the "I have lots of projects and goals that are giving me some fulfillment in life" sense. Does that make sense to anyone other than me? If not, oh well. I still like the idea.

I've been trying lately to keep myself from having too much wasted time where I don't do anything but sit around and stare at the TV or the wall. I've been trying to make myself busy with worthwhile things that I find some enjoyment out of. Conquer Club, and the recent offer by them to help out, has made it much easier to fill my time. It is something that I enjoy. Heaven forbid I had a PAYING job with them. That would be unreal!

I'm thinking I might go to the BYU Hockey game this evening. I want to go on a small adventure of some sorts, but of course there are no good movies out at the theater to see this week, and I don't feel like renting one from Blockbuster, so I might just go see the hockey game. Holly said she would go a few weeks back and the BYU team won't be having another home game for something like five weeks. I guess that pretty much means now or never for the most part. Speaking of local sporting events, the Utah Flash begin their season here in a week or two and for only six dollars a ticket I think Holly and I will be going to see some of their games from time to time. BYU basketball starts next week too, so I guess that is good as well. I sure do like to go to sporting events. They are a ton of fun.

Missed One

Whoops, I was so involved with projects last night that I totally forgot to keep my streak alive and well. How fitting that such a terrible thing would happen to me on Halloween. :)

I will continue to press on however, and will keep my streak alive for the month of November. Could I possibly make it through the month with a post every single day? Egads! The possibilities! Can you even imagine such a thing? Perhaps.

I made the decision that next year I will be dressing up for Halloween for the first time in almost a decade. My decision is to be a personification of Spaghetti and Meatballs which I think is a pretty good idea.
