My Little Babblebox

So, yes. A few more weeks have gone by, and a few little tiny things have changed in the life of me... y'know, like my living quarters. Back at school again, and oh what a wonderful apartment we have concocted for ourselves. 4 bedrooms, 2 bath, a living room, and a kitchen. My bedroom is nothing special, especially with the "I never quite moved in" thing going on. The bathrooms, too, are less-than-spectacular, but if you're wasting time making your shitter the best shitter money can buy, you need to get out more. The kitchen and living room, however, the two places where we all congregate every morning, afternoon, and evening, are without a doubt the finest of their kind in the Cerro Vista complex(200 apartments just like ours). First, the kitchen, where we go communist-style with our eating plan(you want it, you got it). Also, Bryan(and I knew he'd do this even 3 years ago) brought a full-sized set of brand spanking new titanium cooking knives. If I ever find a need to eat my shoe, I know at least I'll have the knives to cut it. Thanks to a day-before-the-move Costco run with my parents, we are most definitely "stocked" for food at this time. The real show(pun intended), however, comes right when you open the door to good old E-201. Staring right there at you is a beee-yootiful 48" TV, complete with 5.1 surround speakers, a DVD player, and a second shelf which I'll get to in a minute. This is about as big a boob tube as can fit through the door of our apartment, and gets quite a bit more than its fair share of stares from passers-by. Now, said shelf. This is where all the action(and half of the electricity) in our apartment is. 9 consoles(some with more than one format of games), all plugged in, ranging from the lowly Atari 2600 all the way on up to the video gaming gorilla that is the XBox. Add a VCR and about 3 light years of wires, and you're set for an audiovisual treat.

Besides the room, college is, well, still college. It's always nice not being the bottom rung on the educational ladder, but that doesn't lessen the workload... in fact, it only makes it worse. In my CompSci class, I've been told that I can expect 20 hours of work a week. This doesn't include a research project in english, physics, and of course, a repeat attack on the dreaded Calculus. Gaaah. But, hey; it's only 10 weeks, right? *deranged laugh* But schoolwork is still schoolwork, and it must be done.

And finally, we come to the final college issue... PolyBemani. Not much to report here yet... nearly all of the core DDRin' group are here in Cerro Vista with me, so we keep our conversion of arrows into sweat fairly regular. No meetings yet, still in need of a weekly time, but they're coming. Oh, they're coming. And when they do....

So it's another "Oops I didn't blog again" blog. So sue me. I've had way more on my plate than I could deal with for weeks on end, and it's just not going away. With any luck, school will re-center my time, and I'll be able to get back to the things I like doing(like blogging) in a week or two. Until next time... Ciao!
