I sure do love summer.  The sun, the thunderstorms, and most of all the time!  I finally quit working at Little Ceasar's and now I'll be lifeguarding.  Luckily, it's mostly morning shifts, and I'll probably only be working every other week (she over-hired to prepare for losing a ton of seniors next year).  I can tell, this is going to be a great summer.

So, I'm working on Suikoden V right now.  I started a new game, and I'm going to make this a perfect file.  I'm going to get all the formations, skills, etc. in order (instead of having a random list), and I'm going to make sure to get all the music in order as well (last time, I forgot to get the Dragon Horse Race song, and it was stuck at the end--Yuck!).  I know, I'm OCD .

I'm really getting excited for Final Fantasy XII as well.  It looks just as political as Suikoden V, plus has a great soundtrack and some awesome sound voice acting.  I hope Square-Enix moves up its release to the summer.

Well, down to the last two days of school.  If I can just get past these days of finals, I'M FREE!!!

EDIT:  Well, I got bored tonight and totally redid my profile (except for my blog pic, that's too cool ).  How does everyone like it?

First, we get Suikoden V only a month after Japan gets it.  Then, Konami blesses us once again by moving the release date up one week!!!  That's right, Suikoden V will be out in less than 2 weeks, on March 22nd!

I must say, this wait is going to be exteremely painful.  I've had enough trouble waiting 6 months for the release in Japan, now I have only a few more days left until I will be able to play the game myself, and it's hard!  I wish I could speed up time.

My only complaint is that I'd already scheduled days off work for the 29th release, so now I won't have as many days off for this new release.  And, it messed up the countdown calender I made!  Gosh darn it!!!

Wow, I really hate school. I realize that education is an unsurmountable blessing, but do I really need to know calculus or chemistry, especially when I'm going to be an author/writer? Well, I'll have to wait and see, but it really doesn't seem worth it right now. The least they could do is lighten the homework load. I typically have at least 2 hours of homework each night, and often times 3.5+ hours! That, plus swimming and my job--my future doesn't look too bright...

To brighten the mood, Suikoden V is looking great. After being announced just a few weeks ago, we've already got tons of info. This game is looking rival II or III as the best Suikoden in the series! After seeing the screenshots/images, and watching Gamespot's incredible 10 minute trailer, I have written up an article with all the good information I found in my union, here. I don't think I can wait much longer for this game!!!
