Colleeeeege... and goodbye to Chromehounds

Soo, College is right around the corner. Ohh boy. And, to add to that, I found out they're shutting down the Chromehounds Servers January 6th! Sega should have spent less money on the sinking ship of Sonic. Dumbasses... oh well, what can ya do. I hope someone else can pick up the servers and run them instead of Sega. Maybe actually pay attention to them, this time around. I can only hope. I'm gonna miss Chromehounds when it goes... most definitely.

Almost done!

Alright! I'm almost done with this four weeks of vigorous hell. Just three more days before I go home, thankfully. I've been at this program called Premiere, and it takes incoming first year college students or minorities and gives them four week of college in each others company. The classes are rigorous, as they normally are at North Central, anyway. It's tough stuff. I have an English Class, a workshop every day, a couple of jobs I work at on Tuesdays and Thursdays... the night is my only real downtime. Which is nice enough, I suppose. It's quiet, everyone's around. Though the people I need to talk to never seem to be...

But, yes. I plan to double major in Japanese and Education. Hopefully, the state will have a program for Japanese Education Certification by the time I graduate, and I won't have to get Certified in something else to be endorsed in Japanese. Or I could just move to Japan... somethin'. I unno. I'm gonna be up to my eyeballs in money I owe from loans, at this rate, though.

Nooooo! D=

Arg, nooo! My laptop died! Geh. At least I have the computers in the commons.

I'm at school for a month, right now, taking classes and participating in activities. It wasn't so much my laptop that died as it was the power adapter. Y'know, the brick? Yeah. That died, and now I can't use my laptop 'cause the battery life sucks and it'll die within, like, 20 minutes if I turn it on. Geh. So, I turned it to hibernate. I want a new laptop, but I'm not sure if we have the funds for that, between college and what not. We'll see. Hopefully, I can figure out a way to back up my laptop without needing to turn it on. Maybe hook up the hard drive to something else. I unno.

The thing is, I could get another laptop for, like, a tenth of the price of the Tablet (That's my current laptop), and it'll have better specs. Kinda peeves me. So, I'm hoping to maybe get a compaq presario laptop or something. Which has twice as much RAM, half more storage, a bigger screen... so on and so forth. I'll be elated if I can get it. Here's hoping.

Other than that, the four week classes are going well. It's not too much work, and I can write my papers quickly enough. I'm gonna check my grades after I post this, too. The experience I gained at IMSA is really paying off here.

I need to keep a better eye on this

Seriously. Ok, so. College is expensive. >.o I have a lot of funding all set for it already, but I still need more... oye. And it's not a public college, either. Private, which makes it a bunch more expensive. Well, I'll be getting a job on campus, anyway, at least. Maybe if I don't spend... anything... it'll do the job. Oye. -_-

It'll work out, I'm sure. Nyaaarrrr...

I gotta remember this is about my life and not just games, haha. What else... eeeh, not a whole lot. 'kay, bye.
