Once again back to the gridnstone

I had my midterm exam yesterday. It... went.... :-/
I slept a lot today. I think I needed that. For some reason I've found playing video game walkthrough in the background very conclusive to sleep. I've already gone through Major's Mask and I'm now halfway through Ocarina of Time. These have also been quite helpful with figure out details for my own game. Lots of things I wouldn't have thought of pop up when I'm watching a game be played.
Ya so to explain, I'm making a video game for class with RPG Maker VX.

This is what some of it looks like so far. I need a better name for a character, I'm still using the default name, and in all my personal notes i just keep referring to him as Our Hero... maybe I should keep it like that XD

 This is another project I'm working on for my drawing class. This is only the second stage. The final piece is due next week. I might have to drop this class though. :( I've never done so poorly in a class. I don't understand how the prof can expect first year students to have professional level work. And I find his in-class exercise expectations confusing. He constricts himself when he's explaining what he wants to see in your in-class. He always wonders why my first drawing looks better then my last one of the in-class session, and the only feedback he ever has is that I don't think. That's the most unhelpful shit ever.... so anyway, I'll probably drop that class. It's a good thing I'm not continuing into graphic design, cause I would have need this class.

Apparently I'm a bit bitter about that hah



My family made me addicted to a game called NationStates My nation is the Rogue Nation of Pickle Islands. My flag even has a cute little pickle on it. Pretty much the gist of the game is that you make a nation, you input a couple of basic thing sat the beginning, like what type of government it is, so on and s forth, then every day it asks you to resolve 1 (or 2 if you want) issue(s). So like yesterday I was asked If I should make gambling illegible and make public nudity legal. After you've made a decision the legislation is pending and later that day it is put into action. The you can see your nations progress with all kinds of neat little pie charts. Each decision can affect social freedom, political freedom and economics. Any way, it's not a game that's too time consuming, so it's good if your really busy, but need a little daily distraction.

I started reading Eat, Love, Pray last week and I love it. I want to go to Italy... :( It sound delicious XD
Can't wait to have spare time again so I can finish the book.
Talking about food, I need to have lunch
