Thankfully things are normal now at my University. What happened a little while ago is just a memory now. My first day at University was really good. I went to my lectures and listened to my profs like any other student. It's a lot different from high school. Each class has like 200-500 people! I'm getting used to that quickly though. Honestly I expected to be extremely nervous about going to a University fairly far from home (but close enough that I can take a bus). I wasn't though. I don't understand why I was so calm. Normally I would be jumping all over the place in nervousness, but I was completely cool with everything even taking public buses! This is the first time since I was around 5 that I've taken a public bus. Before University started I was worried that I might take the wrong bus and end up lost. On my first day I did actually end up taking the wrong bus, but that bus got me close enough luckily. Sometimes I REALLY wish that I wasn't so bad with Geography. I don't know where stuff is.

The workload at University is devastating. I did so much work today and yesterday and I'm still behind. It's only been 7 days since the start! I'm starting to lose sleep. It's making me feel really bad. Sometimes I just feel a surge of anger cause I have so much stuff to do (CALCULUS!!!) and so little time. I feel like just forgetting about everything, but I know I can't. I want to get another scholarship. I'm not sure if I've said this in a previous blog, but I got a few scholarships that have paid for almost all of my tuition. To get a second installment of this one scholarship I need to maintain an 80% average. I'm guessing that'll be hard. Anyways, generally I get home around 4 or 5 which gives me about 4 hours to do homework. I don't do it instantly because I need a little time to relax. I plan on going to bed at 10, but homework often keeps me up.

You guys probably won't see me much for a while. I'm sorry, but my free time is really limited. I've hardly played video games since University started (probably 3-4 hours total). It feels weird going so long without seriously playing games. 358/2 Days is coming out soon too. I'm really looking forward to it, but I don't know if I'll have time. I already pre-ordered two copies (technically it will be my brother and sister's games), so I'll be sure to get it.

Hmm...this blog post actually seemed normal. I kept thinking that I'd go crazy when I typed it and start evil laughing randomly cause I'm tired. Was it normal or am I just trying to fool myself? Well anyways, goodbye. See you...in the future.

I'm a bit upset at my University right now, well, the students at it anyways. So first of all I got a letter saying that I have to right a mandatory test a few months ago. Today was the day that the test was supposed to be on. I went to building that the letter said to come in and went to a classroom to start writing the test. Some of the questions were really hard. I was starting to get a little worried.

After about 20 minutes some guy said he was finished the test. The instructors didn't believe that he could possibly finish so quickly so one of them looked at the test and said that practically everything was wrong. They gave him a new test to completely restart. After the instructors said that the test needed to be written in pen that guy stood up and kicked down a TV that was in the corner of the room then left. One of the instructors said that they were calling security and also left. This made me VERY distracted. I couldn't believe that just happened. After another little while I looked up to see the remaining instructor put shaving cream on his face. I kept wondering if it was to lighten the mood, so people wouldn't get nervous about University. Then I got totally surprised when a bunch of older students came running in the classroom screaming that the test was fake. They had us rip the tests up. That was the good part. Anything past that was a nightmare. They wanted us to scream cheers involving beer and swearing. I don't swear and I don't like beer! So I didn't do that. No way I'm giving up on who I am!

The students led us outside and we were forced to watch a play they made. I can't believe that something like this would be allowed! They were swearing all over the place and it was extremely inappropriate. Next we got into groups and had to do humiliating things. Everyone in the group had to step forward, say their name and...favourite position. I was like "WHAT ON EARTH!?" in my mind. There was even this girl that was saying that people could show it to her (while still clothed). I still can't believe something like this happened. Luckily someone refused to answer that, so they switched to something SLIGHTLY more appropriate: favourite body part. Still sick messed up people!!! You don't talk about that kind of stuff with a bunch of strangers, especially not in public.

It gets a little worse, but I don't want to discuss that here. In short, this gave me a REALLY, REALLY bad impression of my university. Students are crazy...

Yesterday I spent a while searching for an important password for a site regarding the University I'm attending. I completely forgot the password. I couldn't remember anything about it at all! Nothing! I didn't even know if it had letters, numbers, symbols or a mixture. I was fairly sure that it was written down somewhere, so I started to search all around. I looked in my room and drawers, checking through my University documents for the password, but I couldn't find it. Luckily my dad knew that it was written down in one of his books. That was such a relief!!! That whole search ruined part of my day. I think I'm going to be more careful when I create passwords now. I don't want something like this to happen again.

Okay, so University's in about 2 weeks. I've a lot of stuff that I need to do before I'm prepared. I'm feeling the stress. I've got to get a map of the school, got to understand what my time table means, got to go to the school barbecue, pay for my tuition, get school supplies and write a mandatory math entrance test. Like I said before I'm getting more and more worried. WORRIED I tell you!!! Meaning...I won't be on much again. Sorry.

Well, in gaming news I beat Crisis Core. I think I like it more than the original FF7. I think Genesis is a better villain than Sephiroth. Don't kill me for saying that, but I just don't like how Sephiroth completely lost it. Genesis stayed much more sane than him. The fighting scene between Sephiroth and Genesis was simply amazing. I was hoping that Genesis would end up the victor though. Genesis has skills equal to Sephiroth, so that makes him quite an opponent. The ending of Crisis Core was sad, but I saw it coming. Zack was a great character...

Some people just don't have opinions. Like Half-Ghost.
Half-Ghost must really love MovieTome and agree with every review we've ever written! What other reason could Half-Ghost possibly have for not rating a single film?
