Playing Wii bowling at the Grotto

School really was delayed

Today we actually started school two hours late.  My alarm clock went off, and my sister came into the room and was like "We're starting two hours late today."  So I turned my alarm forward two hours and went to sleep.  I could really get used to this sleeping in stuff.  Hoping for a delay tomorrow would be way too optimistic though.  (Actually, I said the same thing yesterday.)

 

So far today in my study hall time I've been working on my BSBI application.  I am getting so burnt out, racking my brain trying to pound out these essays.  I tried writing an email asking for clarification on a couple of points in the outline, but it keeps turning out crummy.  I think after I finish typing this I will go relax and read a book or something.

 

On a totally unrelated note, my brother got his hands on this Age of Empires II demo.  I hadn't played an RTS in forever, so I tried it out.  I played some this morning, and it was a load of fun!  I guess it is a pretty old version of AOE, but maybe it'll work on my laptop.  I'm hoping to be able to get my hands on a full version, and then if I really can get it on my laptop, yeah it'd be a lot of fun!  MMM, video games.

Video Games

12/25/06

A few days ago I decided to start playing this game by the name of Jade Empire, which I have had on my xbox for quite some time. It was made by the same developer that created KOTOR, (Knights of the Old Republic) so I was pretty sure that it was going to be an enjoyable game. But I was wrong: it is fantastic! After not seriously playing video games for many, many months, gaming like crazy has come like a breath of fresh air! On Saturday I also purchased 2 games that I have been meaning to get for a while, so I think I may be playing video games again! That is what I spent almost all of today doing.

fall fantastico

Our youth group's fall retreat, the Fall Fantastico, just got over with. I calculated that I was down at the Grotto for 25 hours straight, and only about 6 or 7 of those hours were sleep. We did a whole lot of stuff.

We played loads of Halo and other xbox games, played hack, played foosball, played Settlers of Catan, played some more, watched a big long video series on relationship stuff and sex, and I am just out of energy. I think I'll sleep well tonight.

I thought I had something more profound to say. I think I'm just really stinking tired. I have a mahoosive english essay to write tomorrow, and that is going to be a pain.
