Random reflections
Ugh. I finally remember to tape House on a night when I have a Tuesday night job, and Shrub pre-empts it with his 'State of our current fictionalization of the union' speech.
Why do they have to air presidential speeches during prime time? Prime time TV shows are way more entertaining, and they ADMIT they're fiction.
Now that the January rush is over I'm finally having a reasonable amount of jobs. I only wish there was some way to know in advance how long I'll be there. Like, I have several three hour jobs in a row, then I get to a store just as small as those ones and I'm there seven hours. And my team leader seems receptive to how much or how little I want to work during the semester, so it seems like this job will work out with the school.
The next semester starts next week. This semester I'm taking Intro to Java II and Programming Web Applications. I'm a little worried I don't have all the prequisite knowledge of HTML for the latter one, but I should be able to pick it up quickly if I don't. (HTML is easy as hell).
If I don't get an A in Intro to Java I after losing like a total of 7 points the whole semester I'll be royally pissed.
Since I started working, I've found that I'm only enjoying video games where the gameplay is actually fun. So, I'm going to be selling FFXII on ebay. It's a great looking game with a very good plot. But the actual gameplay is dull as hell. I'm not sure I'll ever enjoy a non-Shin Megami Tensei turn based RPG again.
