Wow, it's been a ridiculously long time since I've posted anything. I was pretty busy throughout October, with plenty of schoolwork, exams, and soccer games to keep me busy. Final Fantasy XII came out as well, which has been taking up the free time I had left over. I'm about 30 hours into it and my assessment thus far is that it is the best Final Fantasy since VII. That's a pretty bold statement, but this game has managed to meet and exceed my expectations, and it's been a long time since that's happened. If the rest of the game continues at this high standard, it may surpass VII as my favorite.
This semester is proving to be the most difficult I've had thus far, due primarily to System Software. I do not like that class, I'm not fond of the professor, and the exams suck. I managed to recover from the first exam, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to get anything higher than a C in the class. Maybe if I do spectacularly on the final... we'll see. Computer Science III has been alright for the most part, except for my last exam, but that grade won't sink me since there are a lot of assignments, and exams aren't heavily weighted. Statistics II has its ups and downs... I'll be satisfied if I earn a B there. American History has been rather easy, thankfully. I shouldn't get anything less than an A in that class.
Know that I'm done with bringing everyone up to speed, the most important recent event was the trip I made to Boston this past weekend. I love that city in the fall, since they actually have fall there, with the leaves changing colors and the change in temperatures. It was pleasantly warm while I was there, which surprised me; I don't think it ever dropped below 45 degrees. Seeing Kristen was amazing, of course. Whether it's shopping, eating, or doing nothing in particular, everything feels more inspired when I'm with her, and that's part of the reason that we work so well together. Our three year anniversary will be in January, and it seems like such a huge number. Not that I'm not happy about it or scared of it; on the contrary, it makes me happy that we've managed to come this far and that our relationship hasn't become stagnant at all. I feel that is a noteworthy accomplishment.
I don't think I could possibly follow that up with a more significant event or thought, so I will close for now. I hope everyone is doing well.
