Whoo, it's been a while.
Been working pretty much full time since moving back home. Not too bad though, some weeks I work a little less than 32 hours, some I work over 40. Give and take.
Been looking at parts for building my next tower. I got a Radeon HD 5770 at BestBuy for $116 clearance. Not bad, I know it's not the latest model and it's only a 700 series but it's still a good grab, I might buy the other one that's left there. Not sure yet though, one card is fine for what I play but it would look pretty decent in the case if I got two.
I realized that I haven't gone on a vacation since senior year of high school. Up to this point I've either been in school(Johnson & Wales), worked during the summer(Doubletree, then Marriott), or both(Syracuse/OCC). It's been a long ride, and I'm pretty worn. I'm looking forward to going to Chicago on August for the ComicCon and TCGPlayer tournament. I am probably not going to qualify for the invitational but it'd be something different to do before the summer ends.
It's been raining quite a bit the past week. After having had constant rain in Syracuse(which is not typical), I'm tired of rain. I mean, I still like the rain but it's good when it only happens once in a while.
5 months have passed since I was with Christie. I can't say I've moved on completely but I'm almost there. I catch myself thinking about her sometimes but not as often as in the beginning when I first moved home. It still hurts and I don't think it will ever stop hurting but it's a little more bearable now. It's weird but friends are a huge help along the way, I never thought I'd say that.
I've been playing League of Legends basically full-time now. It has replaced WoW at this point, and it's actually a little better. The social aspect is gone but it's friendlier for a work schedule like mine. It's similar to DotA but for some reason the learning curve was easier for me this time around - it might just be the age difference, I don't know. In any case, it's been fun and the recent $100k tournament by Riot has made it a little more exciting. I don't know if I'll ever be good enough professionally but it would be an achievement if I did.
