WoW; that game is addicting.

So yeah, as you might guess from the ultimately failed attempt at humor in the title of this post, I've become addicted to the World of Warcraft. And it's all my old boss's fault. She plays, and she wanted someone to go on to quest with her. Naturally, it didn't take a whole lot of convincing.

So I've been staying up as late as possible to play this game, though I think maybe now my addiction is calming down a bit, and it's looking like WoW will be more of a hobby, not my life. At least, that's the plan. But we'll see. At least it's making me less addicted to facebook.

So, other than that, life is pretty much normal. School is fine, work is fine, albeit a little slow still. I always like the challenge of trying to finish a seemingly insurmountable pile of work. When I was a page, that happened all the time, whenever I came in and there were 6 full carts of books. Technology department, not so. I get maybe two or three problems every day, and they're never all that significant. Why can't some crazy thing happen that keeps me running around all day? Like, when all the patron computers go down, then the internet dies later that day? Bah.

And I got a 98 on this big giant paper we had to write for English class (big giant = 7 pages, in my vocabulary), so I can sleep peacefully now. And I have pretty much 2 days off of homework, since I had tests and/or meetings with my teachers for the last few days of school. It's funny how that turns out. And there are only 4 weeks and 4 days left until the semester is over. And it seems like I started a few weeks ago... crazy.

Life as of 10/16/06

Well hmm. To start where I left off...

Last Sunday morning, my dad and I flew down to Florida to get the car. It was fun, and we didn't run into any strange problems. We pretty much signed the papers, paid the guy, and started driving. We got to Columbia, SC by Sunday night, then we had to go find a hotel. So, we checked in, went to sleep, got up, ate breakfast, and left (that is an inclusive list). Then I drove all day on Monday (didn't really want anyone else driving my new car, heh) and we got back at around 7:00 at night. The Appalacian mountains were fun to drive through... and now I'm thinking "road trip!" for next summer. But we'll see.

And then I had "Fall Break" on Tuesday, so I worked a bunch and then went to the Career Center for some advisory dinner thing. That was decent... after some snacks, me, the teacher from the program I was in, and a few other people sat down to talk about stuff to teach in his new class.

And then back to school on Wednesday... blech. Crazy Chinese calculus teacher only had 2 days to assign homework though, so it wasn't too bad. And now I'm in the library waiting for my Spanish class (we get a test today, whee). We're also eating some odd kind of spanish food after the test... corn, mayonaise, lime, and something else... but I forget what it was. I'm bringing white grape juice, just so I don't have to walk out with this really weird aftertaste still stuck in my mouth.

Dear Blog: College Weeks #5, #6; New Car?!

Hmm, so where were we...

College stuff... classes are going pretty well. I'm not flunking anything (yet). We have a Calculus test tomorrow, but it's open-book, and I'm not too worried about it. (though maybe I should be)

Last Sunday was my dad's birthday, and we went to "Wally Waffle", a brunch-type place where he always used to take Michelle and me when we were really little. Then I stayed up until 2:00 doing Calculus again. (I'll really have to work on that whole "not procrastinating" thing.) Next week, and the week after that, should be a lot easier in Calculus, as we have less than half of the amount of homework we usually have to do, for various reasons.

And yeah, I bought a semi-new car, a 2005 Scion tC (my dream car, pretty much) on eBay last Saturday. It's a bit earlier than I had originally planned, but the price was decent. So, on Sunday morning, Dad and I are going to fly down to Florida and meet the guy with the car, then drive it back up on Sunday and Monday for all 22 hours it'll take. "Mildly exciting" is an understatement.

Ok, back to the irritating 7-page English paper.
