School is school. Classes are moving along. Orchestra is going (Mahler is going to eat me alive). Badminton has started, and my body will be sore and tired every Sunday from running around. Started research with Prof. Wiley on protein composition of the two different nuclei in poor little single-celled critters (I still fail to remember their name), which included looking up 2-D electrophoresis gels (yay!). My students in ochem lab are funny and keep me amusing...I have discovered that I am a cruel grader. They'll live. No one has anything lower than an 80% at the moment.
Without labs, my life seems to lack much meaning. I came to the realization that I might not be able to get into Advanced Lab next semester...that better not happen or I'm screwed for next year. Then again, if I get my GEs done, I can just take science all next year on top of thesis...crap.
But, life is good. I'm bad and have begun avoiding homework during the week. Most video games are my source of distraction. I finished Kingdom Hearts last night...I was level 100 when I finished and couldn't level any more:
Hades Cup: got easier after I beat the whole thing
Ice Titan, Kurt Kisa and the Phantom: didn't know what to do at first, and then figured it out. Much fun though - lots of shouting by the suitemates whenever I needed to heal. Eheheh...
Sephiroth: he's pretty - BUT he's really mean. I got my butt kicked many times. My treat for beating him was a Rolo...quite the reward.
Ending battle was mildly anticlimatic. Then again, I was at level 100, and had beaten Sephiroth. But the ending animations and such were pretty and cute. Got to see the preview for Kingdom Hearts 2 - I wants...now.
But, I have Katamari Damacy and DDR to keep me amused until November or whenever Kingdom Hearts 2 is released. Katamari Damacy is incredibly amusing. You roll up stuff to make stars, and you roll up everything in the homes, towns, etc. I rolled up houses last night - my Katamari was 18m!
And I come to the realization that it is incredibly sad that my life lacks meaning so much that I have to write about gaming. Or my life lacks so little to do that I resort to video games instead. This is a bad sign. Maybe I should practice Mahler and Weber more and work on the research.
