CAMPER!
I'm back a day early from camping, and just as well anyway. It was costing my Dad $20 a night to have me there, so I only stayed one night. I was following my cousin's girlfriend back today, and she in turn was following my cousin. They were going too slow for my liking so 5 minutes into the drive back (along the dirt road) I stopped my car completely. I gave them a 30 second start on me, could have been more, could have been less. Judging by the (fun) results I wasn't thinking right. They were doing 50km/h down the road, I was doing 65. Not much of a difference, really, but it was enough to catch up to them. So I was going around the corners all sliding and having fun when I get out of a corner onto a straight stretch of road and my car starts to slip on loose gravel. Doesn't sound exciting to you but when I was nearly run off the road twice within 5 seconds, it was lots of fun for me :)
Yesterday was a lot of moping around, and eating, and not doing much else in general. Today was a "study" day, where I spent most of the day reading through my math work. Then I just decided to come home, here I am. The end

Rational Thinking
I really do fly away on May 23, which is really cool because I'll make it for Newnan Highschool and East Coweta's grad. I just want to make it to EC's so I can see a certain friend before she moves away to New York. Newnan's grad will be good, too, if I can make it. I've got various friends I'd like to see then, too.
May 29, the day of my college appointment, I'll just register online, or get another college-apt friend to register for me. And my sister offered to drop off the $100 deposit for registration, as well. So that's cleared up, but finishing my math course isn't. I've got 4 days of school left before I leave, thanks for next Monday being a holiday. That's 4 days to try and finish chapters 7 through 10 and write the exam as well. All that needs to be done with chapter 7 and 9 is to write the tests seeing how I've finished those already. Chapter 8 (advanced Geometry -- fairly easy) and Chapter 10 (Trigonometry) are all that's holding me back. That and the fact that I'm really rushed for time. So whatever I don't get done in the next 4 days, I'll have to get that done June 24 and 25, 25 being the last day of school.

House Sitting, is that - like - baby sitting?
Tuesday night I get a call from my Aunt (GASP! Here's a name -- the name of Peter Parker's Aunt) asking for my Grandpa. That was at 4pm, when she let me know my Grandpa's brother, and thus my great-uncle, had just had a severe heart attack. 4:30pm I got a call from that man's son, asking for someone else I had no idea of. Come 5 or 6pm, my Grandpa's other brother calls and tells me that his brother had died and not to have me tell my Grandpa, but that he'd take care of it. So that was Tuesday night.
Tuesday afternoon, I was in school. I got my chapter 5 test results back -- not too good
. Only 52% on that test, bringing my mean grade down to 82%, but my overall grade down to 56%. Not too good at all. So I wrote the chapter 6 test, same question formula over and over, so I either passed with 100% or I failed with 0%. And on the topic of school, today I spent 2 hours 17 minutes at school. In social terms, that means I spent 1 hour 50 minutes talking and being distracted with all the female eye candy. The other 27 minutes was spent rushing through a short chapter 9 in all it's statistical glory.
Morrowind update: I started a new character, two actually. Another Thief, but this time it's a Lizard-man, I forget what their race is called. He's a NightBlade. A magic user, more or less, but I use him as a thief, the magic is just to enhance his thieving abilities. My other character, my newest and current favorite, is a RedGuard Knight. He kicks ass.
***BREAKING NEWS***
My Mom tells me she bought my plane ticket to Georgia already. The plane leaves May 23 and is a non-refundable ticket. Why is this bad? Because I've got an appointment May 29 at the college regarding registration and my courses. NON-FREAKING-REFUNDABLE TICKET?!?!? 0_o NON-RESCHEDUABLE-COLLEGE-MEETING. Good -- Bad... I'm falling right now, I'm upside down. You've heard that before, it's probably an equilibrium thing, but I feel like I'm hanging from the ceiling at this news. I'mma go now.

Beta Testing
I feel as if I'm beta testing Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind for Bethesda Softworks. The first day playing it was fine, I hadn't gotten very far in the game, nor was I doing much. Now, however, I find the game crashes on me 3 or 4 times in a 1 or 2 hour session. It happens only 3 or 4 times because I get frustrated with the game and stop playing after that. Here's the bugs I've encountered so far:
1)) You fall through the floor when you bunny hop, happens often enough for you to ph34r jumping. If a lake is underneath you (Vivec City) then you end up falling through all layers of ground until you splash into the water where you need to swim around until you find a place out. If there is no water beneath you, count yourself lucky if you fall and the game automatically resets you on the floor where you fell through. The unlucky time is when you just fall and fall and fall... and fall.
2)) Game crashes when you quick load a game after someone has started talking to you. Can't be reproduced every time, but it happens often enough, as said before.
3)) I'm sure there's a third bug that annoys me.
You all know my system specs, but here they are again in case some Bethesda developer is actually reading this and wants to do something about these bugs.
AMD K-7 III 751MHz w/ 256MB PC-133 SD-Ram and a TNT2 pr0 32MB AGP. Gigabyte something or another motherboard. 15GB Maxtor 7200 RPM HDD.

I close the locked door behind me
And in turn I learn I don't have the keys to open that door. I locked myself out of my own house today at 2pm, and didn't have my car keys with me either because they were on the same loop as my house keys. I walked around the house 5 or 6 times, checking all the windows and doors. I even attempted to pick the lock of said door, and was almost successfull but I'm underexperienced. So I sat in my car, which I didn't have locked, and read the Lord of the Rings novel for 30 or 45 minutes before I fell asleep. My Dad got home after 5pm and I was back in the house. School was over by then, no point in going out after that.

Assassins Abound
School stuff - that's the name of today's game. I've got to go to town today to get a key from my Grandma for house sitting tomorrow. I figured I may as well stop in at school and write a test, seeing how I'd be in the neighborhood. Busy month, May is. Saw Spider-man (excellent) Friday night; house sit for 3 days; pound posts for a fence; have an appointment with a college councellor re: courses; Uncle's surprise birthday at some lake with cabins (and thankfully electricity); Dentist appointment; and finally, an appointment at the college re: registration of courses and timetable stuff. I suppose I should also pick up a Student Loan application some time soon, if they are even out yet.
Progress Quest:
Lvl 48(4/5)
574 HP -- 761 MP
368 WIS
41 known spells
Act VII
Morrowind:
Lvl 1 Breton Mage -- Lawful Good -- Poor because he's so nice
Lvl 4 Khujit Assassin -- Chaotic Good -- Steals from Shopkeepers, but never kills people. He's rich, or can be when he wants to be
Lvl 3 Wood Elf Assassin -- Chaotic Evil -- If she can get away with it, you're dead. Providing you don't offer her any services she uses. She's got cash to travel, mass murderer that's spread her plague across 1/25 all the land.
