With Spring break drawing nearer and nearer (March 30, w0ot), I guess you could say I'm sort of looking forward to the mini vacation. Working at 110% nonstop does take its toll on you after a while. I'm getting closer and closer to the point where if I have to bag one more grocery item, listen to one more lecture, or so much as think about another class assignment, I'll snap and lose all control. The book "The Shining" comes to mind...okay maybe not that extreme. I guess you could say I'm spent right about now, and I need a little relaxation.

In other news, I uploaded a random video on my youtube account. I usually just watch videos, but I figured I may as well go for it so I could say I made at least one. It's basically a mixed compilation of some songs I listen to (I listen to all genres). Here's the link if you want to check it out:

Lastly, I've been looking up the new DS model, and while I desperately need a replacement, I'm not sure whether I should buy the DSi or just pick up a DS Lite. Looking at the DSi pro-wise, the differences between the two are that the DSi has an internal camera, a DSi shop that allows you to download new games and applications with Nintendo points, and a built in audio player that has voice recorder and a music player of ACC audio. It's also smaller and more sleek. Con-wise, it isn't backward compatible with GBA games or accessories, the battery life has been reduced by roughly five to six hours, and its cost for North America is going to be $169.99 (I can get a DS Lite for $100), which isn't so bad when you have parents to pay for your games, but I...don't have that luxury. Sure, maybe there's some GBA games in the DSi shop, but what about the ones I already have? Nevertheless, I need a handheld since I don't have a single video game in my dorm (my Wii is at my folks' home), I just don't know which one to get. Thoughts?

At last, the Spring semester is finally coming around, starting on the 26th. I've enjoyed these six or so weeks of break, but it's about time to put in work and effort, so I can get a jump start on my career ASAP.

Of course, I haven't spent much time on GS during my break, to be honest, I've been all over the place. As much as I stress "Business before Pleasure" I'll admit it is dull sitting in a small desk in a cramped classroom with over 200 kids, five times a week, only to end the weekday with hours of studying into the night......and I'll have to balance a different job with a five class schedule......

............

...I'm losing my enthusiasm to return...moving right along...

As you can probably imagine, I'm none too happy about my team NOT getting into the Super Bowl, but we'll get there next year, if only our QB shows up to play like a Pro Baller, and not a High school athlete...Nevertheless, I will tune into the matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Arizona Cardinals. My money's (literally) on the Steelers. They used to be my favorite AFC team (Kansas City Chiefs are first).

Lastly, my Nintendo DS has finally kicked the bucket. I was about to run and buy Luminous Arc 2 when I saw my top screen was cracked. Kind of killed my mood for that day too, though I was wondering when all of those times I dropped it were going to come back to haunt me. I had the oldest model; I bought it when it first came out. It sucks, but I guess I'll wait for the new DS model...yippee...
