Docking Up

I'm not going to be renewing my EvE subscription come December. I'm not really enjoying it as much as I use to, and I think I need a break. Also, last month I was kind of using it as a way to escape reality, and that's probably not healthy. Though, to be fair, the other way I escape isn't too healthy either. I still need some sort of entertainment though (ok, maybe I don't, but that's not the point) so I'll start a subscription with the Zune service. I want to find some new music, and since I spend more time in my car then I do at my computer, well, plugging my Zune into my tape deck while I drive from Orlando to Manatee County will make it more enjoyable.

I don't know if I mentioned it, but Will was down from Iraq for about 3 weeks. I only got to see him Halloween night =(. But then, he and I aren't as close as we use to be back before he joined the military. And it doesn't help when he's down, he's back in my hometown. With out a car. And where he lives, and where my parents are, are about an hour away (his parents live near the beach. It's only 14 miles from my parents' place, but the cops near the beach aren't friendly, and will pull you over if you're going 1 mile over in a 25).

Another reason for me taking a break, I guess, is to try to make myself more social. I mean, I never canceled anything in real life to do something online, but I've never really went out of my way to do stuff in real life, well, stuff outside of attend the occasional club meeting or something (I am a member of Metal Club, and our president is a woman as well). Maybe if I get more social, and see if I can't do more things with more people, maybe that might help me. Or maybe I'm just speaking crazy talk, and I'll end up curled on my bed because I have very few friends...

Anyway, I'm going to go grab some food, so ~Night.

Promised Post

Yes, here's my updated post...

I've been feeling up and down... with a lot more lows than highs. I have almost stopped caring about school, though I still at least attend classes. Well, I have withdrawn from one of my classes... It was my electrical networks class.... Well... not networks, systems. It's not that I don't see a point or purpose in school... I just can't see how one relates to me per se... ok, maybe that's not quite right either. It's just... I feel like there's no escape from my current jobs. Not that they're bad jobs, but, just... I've already reached the amount of schooling I need for them... and, well, a part of me believes that, no matter what I do, I'm going to be stuck at these jobs until the day I die. And, well... sometimes I want that day to be closer than other days.

The other reason I've lost a good deal amount of interest in my course work is, I have very little idea in some of my classes what's going on. That was the primary reason I dropped electrical systems, and although I kind of grasp some of the stuff in my Semiconductor's class, but the math just escapes me. I thought I'd never need Quantum Physics and Chemistry for Computer Engineering. I never thought I'd be so totally wrong. Maybe I should just start thinking about switching to computer sci... at least there'd be more programming.

Starting to get a little back into Wiccan and the occult and that type of stuff... Picked up a Tarot deck on Friday. In the very least, it has really pretty artwork, though it's kind of hard to find a deck that isn't either in bright pastels or way too gothy. Still, I picked up a fantasy deck, and I like the way everything is shown in it... Now all I need to do is find my old books on the Subject from highschool/early college and I should be set on using it...

Also, I picked up "My Japanese Coach" for the DS. That game is pretty cool. Well... not so much a game as it's a learning experience thing, but still, it's a nice addition to my game catalog.

Anyway, I'm going to log... ~Night

Only Partly Crazy

Well... I'm still alive. Halloween was fairly boring this year... Though I did get to see Will, so that was kind of cool. Still...

Anyway, I'm going to get some sleep. I'll give a longer post tomorrow... maybe. ~Night.
