Let Me Tell You Some Bad News
So, here’s the bad news.
I’m not graduating this semester.
I’ve already done my screaming and crying about it, and generally being annoyed at the oversights of me and my advisors with this stuff that has lead to this. But it’s a little late now. I have to take one more semester. Yaaaay? At least it can basically be a semester full of whatever the hell I want, since I have all my requirements out of the way basically, and I’ve had a long talk with the graduation woman and am pretty damn positive that as long as I pass all my shit, I won’t have any more issues. Which is good. A good thing. Good as can be expected. Salvaged.
Now I will make a list of reasons why this isn’t so bad.
1) More time with my friends around here, who I love dearly.
2) Don’t have to put up with complete life disruption yet, which is going to be hard.
3) Don’t have to worry about finances for another 6 months.
That’s all I got. Do you have any others? I mean, I’m going to enjoy all those things. But it still sucks. Yesssssss… still sucks.
Anyway, welcome to another school semester. I’ve not been keeping up with blogging cause I’ve been all distracted with things. Some of those things are bad things, like that bad news, and some of them are good things, like all the fun I’ve been having over at the completely Not Safe For Work Le Jardin Mystique MUCK that Brer introduced me to and I’ve been having a blast with. Also, awesome downloadable games, like Bionic Commando: Rearmed, and even, surprisingly, Galaga Legions.
I suck at both, of course, but utterly and completely at Galaga. I tried it when depressed, and it was fun, and so, in depressive weakness, I splurged and bought it. It’s still fun! The little satellite mechanic is completely sweet, and basically makes you feel like an empowered bad-ass, even when you’re dying constantly like I am. The fact that you can try any stage without getting to it in Challenge mode is also a boon. I figure I’m going to keep playing it in little spurts here and there…
Anyway, yes… I’ll try to be better at the blogging, blog. I don’t feel like anyone particularly misses it when I don’t, but I miss it. It feels wrong to be so lax…
