Sleeping, I guess... I stayed with it until the first game of Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory was in, then had to crash... it was like 5:30am or something.
I need one. Not for the typical, "I want to see the future/change the past" reasons (although there is definitely some things in the past I'd like to change). I just need more time...
Let me back up a bit, here: I'm taking more credits this semester than I have so far in my university "career," 16 credits... which at first glance, doesn't seem like some insane amount, considering I've been doing 14... but my classes this semester are way more involved than the typical General-education classes I've mostly been taking. 3 Computer Science classes this semester, all 3 of which have regular homework... one of them, there's a big group project I'm in the middle of, and we're way behind where we should be. There's also near-weekly quizzes in class (easy since we can use notes, but time-consuming to write out the notes), and a two-part midterm project, the first part of which is due tomorrow. I should probably start that. =\ The other two CS classes have homework pretty much every class (one is smaller labs, usually pretty easy, the other is a math class actually, so generally 2 or 3 problems). And to top it off, one of the two Gen-Ed classes I'm in, there's an annotated bibliography due Friday evening. If you don't know what that is... it's basically a research paper, but without actually writing the paper. You pick a subject (world culture class, so something to do with culture), do the research on it (5 sources, at least 4 of which have to be peer-reviewed papers), write a paragraph summary on what you found, and a paragraph underneath each entry in the bibliography summarizing that particular piece. It's really mega-lame and annoying... =/
Oh, did I mention I have a job, too? Lucky me, I don't usually work during the week (class schedule is too late to get scheduled at work), but I work every Friday/Saturday/Sunday, unless I ask off... which means weekends are pretty effectively useless to me for actually doing anything unique or more interesting than playing video games or going out to eat with friends (maybe).
And to top all that off, Giant Bomb rolled out this amazing, horribly addictive quest system this week (blog post for quest get!)... and I'm very easily distracted. So it hasn't been an especially productive week. But alas... I need to get crackin' here. Hopefully I can knock out at least one of the things due before this live stream starts up tonight... You know I don't want to miss that!
If anyone actually stuck through reading all this, thanks... just needed to vent a bit. As a sign of my appreciation, here is a picture of the flying DeLorean:
If facebook games were to be added, then every shitty flash game ever made would have to be added... and I distinctly remember the GB guys talking about flash games in the early database version of the site, how they didn't want to have flash games listed at all.
