it’s been a little over a month since i finished school. at this point i feel like i haven’t done much of anything, including blogging. whoops.
i’ve played some games, applied for a bunch of jobs, settled into my new living space and have been trying to figure out what to do with myself. seriously.
over the last couple of days i’ve been toying with the idea of running a star wars campaign. having never actually gm-ed a game before, i think i’ll just take the epic dawn of defiance campaign up on the wotc site and try that out with some folks. also a good excuse to buy a bunch of star wars minis. 
pictures!
and in other news, i’m sick.
again.
well, i made it through school. on saturday, december 12, 2009 i graduated college with my b.s. in electrical engineering. whoo!
now i need to get my grad school apps together, study for the gre, and find a job. i did recently find a new apartment so i need to start packing too. i am also still working on my senior design project. i want it to be up and running. i also have a few projects in mind that i would like to work on. those can come at a later date though.
when this is all said and done, or maybe at some point in the meantime i will catch up on my comic books, video games, and tv shows/movies. honestly, i don’t think there will be a point where i will become too bored. i am SO BEHIND on everything. i visited my local comic shop last week and picked up the stack of comics that had been in my pull list for the last 6 weeks. yikes. i missed a lot of good stuff. i’m kind of bummed that straczynski wont be doing thor anymore.
i also decided it was time to finally sit down and watch all of boogiepop phantom. i have had the box set for about 6 years now and have never watched all 12 episodes. it’s time. also, a lot of my books will be going into storage shortly so i thought it necessary to pull out a few and have lying around so i can actually get around to reading them. yeah!
on the videogame front. i recently purchased a wii. so basically i have to catch up on all the good games that came out for it since launch. i have yet ot beat any of the ps3 games i own…and i just bought a few more. i started dragon age: origins on the xbox 360 but had to stop when school started getting intense again, so i do wan to finish that up…and i got an early copy of bayonetta. whoo! and then the slew of psp and ds games that keep coming out. man, oh man.
i should be polishing up my resume but i feel kind of sick and out of it. i should probably go to bed. i think i’ll just read a few comics first. i almost forgot they were sitting in a pile.
one more week. one more week until i graduate. 
instead of studying for my final coming up tomorrow or working on my senior design project, i decided to take a few hours to be domestic. i have a load of laundry going, have a loaf of banana bread baking in the oven, and i just finished up all the dishes.
now i’m slouched over on the couch being snuggled by kitties on both sides and watching grandma got run over by a reindeer. haha.
i’ve been feeling super stressed about the end of graduation. i have a finals to worry about and my senior design project i need to pretty up and do documentation for. i need to study for the GRE, which is coming up on the 28th. i need to find a place to move into by december 29. i need to find a job. ugh.
well, better get my stuff together and pull the bread out of the oven.
there is an awful lot of snow outside…
cant tell if it’s the allergies, stress, or lack of sleep but i’ve been feeling generally unwell. i wake up every morning exhausted, with super dry eyes and stuffy sinuses. feh.
my first midterm was yesterday. it was nothing short of horrifying. i feel that if i had an extra 45 minutes or so, i might have stood a chance of passing. :\ afterwards i went to my senior design class and waited for an hour so i could speak to my professor for 5 minutes. and to top it all off, my senior design partner flew off to mexico for a vacation.
to make myself feel better i played a little batman: arkham asylum which i have to admit is pretty freaking cool. i’m not really a fan of the detective mode business. i feel like when i am not in detective mode i’m missing out on all kinds of secret stuff, and at the same time when i am in detective mode i feel like i’m missing out on some visuals i should be enjoying from the game. *shrug* i didn’t actually play batman for very long. in fact, i spent most of my night (until the wee hours of the morning) binging on peanut butter filled pretzels and watching 30 rock. i’m closing in on the end of the 3rd season, finally, and i have to admit i really really love tina fey. 
today, work until 5. class until 9. home and sleep.
leads to productivity in areas where it’s really not needed. i started on a list of games last night. still need to add more ds and psp games. and snes. and gamecube.
GAMES!
over the course of the weekend i started to feel much better. no more coughing really…the ability to think again…but i was really not into catching up on schoolwork. instead, i continued to play resident evil 5 and slum around. well, a couple of days ago i had my first school related nightmare. first ever, school related nightmare. i have never been so stressed about school that i had a dream about it. i was so upset when i woke up at god knows what hour that i brewed a pot of coffee and began working on my senior design project. my dad’s gf came in and asked me if i would be ok to go to school without having slept all night. :\ i said yeah…big mistake. should have gone to back to bed…
i think i stressed myself out so bad (and i really didn’t need to) that i started feeling a bit ill again. it might also be a reaction to the severe weather change, but i have started a bit of a cough again. oops.
so back to the old grind. back to lots of schoolwork and no fun.
the more i sleep the worse i feel. i don’t understand. i took the entire weekend off of school and did nothing but sleep, eat, and play resident evil 5. come monday, i felt AWFUL. so i took monday off too. (i finished RE5 btw) i couldn’t take tuesday off because i had a quiz. then the rest of the week was spent catching up on assignments i should have done over the weekend. eep!
well, now it is friday and while i feel much better than i did on monday, i’m still not 100%. stupid friday evening class. ugh. 6-9 pm. UGH.
i should probably go shower and eat and do some homework.
