Oy. Happy New Year! Have I posted that yet? I don't think I've posted at all recently. So, the usual condiment: ketchup.
Christmas was great, then I was pretty dirt poor for some time. Finally got my loan/grant money. Huzzah! Now I am no longer super dirt poor!
This quarter, I'm taking: Statistics, Public Speaking, English Composition (eugh) and Marketing.
English composition is even worse than I was dreading. It is being taught by someone whose only credential, so far as I am able to determine, is that she has had one published poem. Uck.
In other news, my awesome flash drive that I've loved for several months was stolen at school today, which meant a hastily typed speech outline and PowerPoint presentation to replace those which I had stored on it. Also, this means I shall have to turn down the pretties on Dragon Age, on the scarce instances where I make time to play it, since I was using it as memory.. Le sigh.
In other news, we're looking to move into a smaller home. The heating costs this winter were crazy, and we've found some comparably awesome yet tinier spaces that might house us. Although I will miss this amazing house we're in, I will not miss keeping the temperature at 55F and still having a heating bill over $300.
Also, the new places are dog friendly. =D Anything with little legs is out due to K's irrational fears ("They're like carnies!"), so I'm thinking Bernese Mountain Dog. They pull carts!
Game bitching: I'm getting tired of running. I like my story, I like my world, I even like my players. What I don't like? Many players are playing a character for a few sessions, then chucking it for a new one. There are two original party members left, and they're the craziest ones. My player that used to be my keystone player is swapping out characters faster than anyone, and it's driving me crazy. I love for my players to have fun, but I have to have fun too. I'm seriously about to switch it to GURPS. You're invested in those characters by the time you're done with them.
Okay. I play Dragon Age to cool off now.
