So, where to begin? I've been a working bum ever since last August. Yes, I work with my mommy at R&R Textiles still, but hey, it pays for my Depaul tuition and spending habits. My spending habits never change though. I tried to limit my video game spending, but I can't really control it. Like I have said before, it's more like an addiction. I mean, shit, look at what I recently bought:
- God of War: Chains of Olympus
- Super Smash Bros Brawl
- Gamecube controller
- Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes (eBay)
- Hotel Dusk (eBay)
- A crapload of Rockband songs
- N+
- Mass Effect DLC
And don't forget about Metal Gear Solid Essentials, a Gamecube memory card, and Crisis Core, Grand Theft Auto 4, and Metal Gear Solid 4 coming up. This is where I decided that this is where the line has to be drawn. I just have to stop buying games after MGS4 gets released. I already have enough games to play through several years. It became clear that I lost track of why I enjoy playing video games. I play video games because I love playing them. It should not matter if it is a newly released game. Any game in my backlog should suffice. That is why after the release of MGS4, I'm just going to work on my backlog and achievements. After scouring eBay and Half.com, you can find anything from the old days at a cheaper price even though it is slightly used. I bought so much from eBay that I should know that.
Video games aside, I finally finished my classes at Depaul. It was a fairly easy class. I felt a bit ashamed that my classmates were having such a hard time with the concept. At ISU, everyone knew the terms. For example, a very simple coding algorithm: "balance += deposit;". There was a SENIOR at Depaul University with an Information Systems background that did not understand what that meant. I then realized, again for the hundredth time, that I did such a shitty job at ISU. I could have done so much more. I should have put my social life on hold (like I had any, lol) and just focused on my work. I tried to balance the two. I should have never sacrificed my career to have fun just because I never had fun at my previous schools. It was such a stupid decision.
I just recently received the deficency letter from ISU. I was waiting for that since it was a confirmation that I was enrolled for graduation. Can you fucking believe that? I'm finally graduating even if it is on terms that shouldn't have occurred in the first place. I can't wait to transfer my credits to ISU and finally get this over with. This weekend I plan to brush up my resume and send it off to the internets. Of course, I have to do some research on other jobs as well. I'm hoping for some assisstant/intern job at the beginning just to shadow under someone for several months before finally moving into a choice job. All I need right now is experience because school experience doesn't count.
I also hope (hope should be fucking 200px big) to save enough money for either A) a used car B) a cheap ass apartment for later this year. My trip to the Philippines is still a bit iffy at this moment. It's 10/90 at this point where I have a 10 percent chance of going. I would definitely love to go just as a last hurrah before I start living my life. Because, you know I'm not living since I'm a goddamn bum, lol. If I ever go to the Philippines, it'll probably be the last time I'll ever see my cousins.
Well, this is ranting too much. I should have spread this out on several posts. It's already 1:47AM and I have work in the morning. Later everybody.
