First Post of 08

Well, it's my first post of 08, and I'm back in school already =(. Actually, I've been in school for a full week, so tomorrow is the first day after drop add. I'm kind of lucky they had drop add, because with out it, I wouldn't have been able to get into my fourth class and lock myself as a full time student. My classes for this semester are Electric Networks, Engineering Statics, Engineering Analysis, and Computer Science I. You might think I should have already had Comp Sci I, but since intro to C is it's prereq, and since it goes into things like sort functions, Link Lists, Program Memory Management, ect, it looks to be a little bit more complicated then my Computer science course back at MCC.

We had some company over for the Christmas break, which is my excuse why I didn't get anything done. They were from England, and were clients of my dad, err, one of them was anyways. The others were part of his family. They were fairly nice people, and we got along well with them. Spent most of my free time (which I had a lot of over the break) doing things with either them, my family, or my friends, and I got to sleep in, so I was happy.

I've gotten my hands on two new 360 games Assassin's Creed (which I own) and Mass Effect (which I'm borrowing from a friend). I have to say I'm impressed with both of them, though I think I enjoy Assassin's Creed more than Mass Effect, but the later is a lot more addictive. Still... when I'm home on the weekends, I'll be trying to play both (at least, as long as my friend allows me to continue borrowing Mass Effect. I'll probably wait for that one to drop to 30/40 before I pick it up).

I probably need to read more. Since I started UCF, outside of my occasional text book reading, all I've read is one Halo novel (it's not as bad as it sounds). Right now I'm trying to read through The Golden Compass but since I don't have a lot of free time (I blame class and commute time, since it obviously couldn't be me playing EvE), I'm not getting too far. As one could probably guess, I think my writing skills are on the decline because of it =(. If anyone has any good books they'd like to recommend...

As to my classes, I really only know one or two people in my Computer Science I class. Outside of that, I really don't know anyone in my other classes =(. Hopefully I'll be able to meet some people and actually do stuff with them outside of class this semester. Hopefully... maybe...

Driving back and forth from home to my dorm does have a good side. The Gamestop (use to be an EBGames) there that I occasionally hang out at recently (ok, maybe he's been there since September and I'm only now posting about it...) got a cute guy there. His name is Daniel and hopefully... eventually (assuming I can be down there more than just a weekend... and not have to spend it all working) we could spend some time outside of the gamestore. He's into anime/video games, he's friendly, polite, and not a sterotypical type of gamer person, and he bathes regularly (actually, he has better hygiene then almost anyone I know). In short... he's basicly an anime/gaming bishonen type of person (yes, he looks like a bishonen too).

Anyway, I need to get some sleep... so night!
