One Awkward Silence

Good day to all -5 of my readers! I'm going to be doing a series of posts over the next few days, because finals week is upon us, and I need an excuse to not study. Which was my original reasoning behind doing video game journalism ("But it's my job!"). But seriously...

The end of the semester, for me at least, is always the most fun time of the whole semester. Why? Because finals week is not that horrible. It really isn't. Especially if you like doing things last minute. Which I do. For some reason, doing 5 classes worth of assignments in two days, instead of doing them slowly over the period of time I had to do them, gives me a much greater sense of accomplishment. Thankfully, that's just me.

So, instead of catching up on my work which I should hand in, I don't know, tomorrow, I'm busy checking out new things Google is doing, playing Persona 3 Portable, and still trying to learn how to set up that Google Apps account for The Brick.

I just realized that multiple to-do lists should be condensed. I guess I am doing relevant things...

School rarely comes first for me. I am not a student. I learn, yes, but I'm much more interested in the end result of being in college. Which causes me to not care about Gen-Eds at all. Especially if a Professor fails to get me involved.

However, I love getting things done. But I don't like working on them slowly. I like to sit down and write my entire paper in one sitting. I prefer to do three four page papers in one day than spread them out over three days. I like that feeling of "hell yes I'm getting this done." And I almost always do. With sleep. I love the way I work sometimes.

So I continue to not do anything school related, unless I'm forced to. Hopefully this will change next semester, when I'm taking multiple classes that are relevant to my major. I figure that once I see work that I can actually apply to my future, I'll jump in and get things done.

That's a hope though. I have no idea if this will be the case. I'm still stuck in Gen-Ed hell.

I'm noticing more and more that the things I do in my free time are slowly starting to coincide with the things that I actually need to get done. Maybe this is a sign that I'm doing the right thing.

LIST TIME!

My To-Do list (as far as I know)

-Make my "cheat sheet" for my US History final

-Try to make heads or tails of my horrible math class study guide (bad professor was bad)

-Finish that stupid revision for my Media, Society, and the Arts paper

-Actually do some postings about the news for that horrible math class

-Research different personality archetypes found in video games (more on that in the future)

-Beat a video game before Sunday

-Film a party involving pancakes

-Edit said footage involving pancakes

-Pack

-Get a job over break

-Download as much christmas music as I can

Damnit I hate that list. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it.

Song in the title:

Yule Shoot Your Eye Out by Fallout Boy

STFU, it's a good christmas song.

I'm really hungry. I've been up since 10 AM. And I haven't eaten yet. Oops.
