So yeah anyway. Actually trying to work on my problems has been helping a lot. I’m sleeping better (though not quite enough), and haven’t had a whole lot of anxiety despite actually spending time with people. Still not so hot on the whole “starting conversations with strangers” thing (even when they’re cute strangers), but that’s less of a crippling issue.
But hey, if you’re that girl with the glasses from the Unexpect concert who was orbiting me for almost an hour, call me.
School’s doing alright, although I wish I could be further ahead than I am. You know how I said I should get X work done over the weekend? I did all of that before class thursday morning. But then I did practically nothing friday, had no time to even think about working saturday, and then got through MAYBE an hour of actually working on sunday. Bleh. Still, I’ve got ½ synopses done and the second just needs to be written, which shouldn’t take long (famous last words, etc.). I’ve got a written assignment to do for that class, as well - a 2 page research proposal. I’ve successfully resisted the urge to “propose” the research project I’m already working on, but again, it shouldn’t take too long. After that, I become a code monkey until December 2nd. More time would be better, but provided I have at least a week, I should be alright.

I’ve got stuff to write about, but no time right now. Come Christmas break I’ll throw up a few posts. Mostly gaming-related. But speaking of gaming, I think it’s hilarious how everyone is off playing Skyrim and I’m like FINAL FANTASY VI ADVANCE! XENOBLADE ON THE WII! As far as the former goes, the right hinge on my old DS Lite just broke yesterday morning D: The crack has been progressing for a while. It’s still relatively playable with the screen flopped back.
As for Xenoblade, it’s exactly what I’ve been wanting since the end of the PS2. It’s really a natural extension of that era of jRPGs, the most striking influence being Rogue Galaxy - a game I absolutely cannot stand anymore, but which Xenoblade improves on in every single way. Now I’m finally playing an unarguably great “current generation” jRPG, and it’s on the Wii. It’s better than PS2 games, sure, but where has this game been for the last five years?
Anyway, I hope you guys are enjoying your games. I’ll be over here, playing single player japanese RPGs, loving every minute.
