Did I expect too much from fourth graders? The review 'Play enjoyed by all' speaks for itself.
Ahh, it's been a while.
I've always been meaning to post in here, but I have been ridiculously busy with school this year. After deciding to pursue a masters (or even a phd?) instead of doing the three-year bachelor and going into Education, I've placed a priority on getting the highest GPA possible in order to get some sort of scholarship/grant or something. I've eventually kicked my WoW habit, as I neither had the time nor the interest needed to run the same goddamn instances and dailies over and over again, differently skinned and infinitely dumbed down.
We've moved back home to save up for a house and pay down the worst of our debts. I won't dwell on this because it's still a somewhat painful episode for me, even after all these months. School keeps me occupied most of the time but there is not a day that goes by when I don't miss the apartment and what it meant to me. Freedom. Independence. A place I could finally call "home".
The last few anime seasons have been quite disappointing; I don't know if it's just me losing interest in anime/manga in general, but I'm finding it very hard to find more than two or three series to watch a season, if even that. This season, only Kimi no Todoke and Nodame Cantabile Finale have managed to catch my interest. Since there are so many sites streaming anime now, I find myself going back and either rewatching or finishing older series. Zettai Karen Children was a solid watch, as was Sousei no Aquarion, even though the end sort of lost steam. (But that's okay; I will endure anything for a Yoko Kanno soundtrack!) I devoted an entire weekend rewatching Shoujo Kakumei Utena and it amazes me how much more I picked up from the series, years and years later after my first viewings. I really feel like redoing my old Nanami shrine.
I've similarly lost my attention span for console games. Final Fantasy XIII is out (or is it coming out soon? I'm not even keeping track.) and I don't really care. I honestly think I'm going through this weird growing up phase. Or maybe WoW has destroyed whatever little attention span I had. I will say that NDS gaming fits my temperament perfectly right now; Clash of Heroes and Style Boutique are ridiculously addicting.
I was supposed to be working on my Victorian Lit paper tonight but then I decided to watch House and like, do absolutely nothing tonight. :D And while I love Gerard Manley Hopkins, I love House more. Well, it might actually be a toss-up.
I hope my tax refund comes soon; I need a new computer chair because this one is messing me up something fierce. >:|
