Going Home for Break

So, going home has proved to be more difficult than I imagined (yet again). I'm stuck in Rochester for the moment, without a way of getting out, until Tuesday. I've been emailing, calling, and complaining to Continental since yesterday, as the lack of seats seems to be incorrect (for lack of better words). At first, they wanted me to take a ticket for Thursday or Friday, which was unacceptable. Next, they tried to get me to leave on Wednesday (I took that ticket, but then still kept complaining, because I could see open seats on flights through their site). So, I finally got a ticket for Tuesday. I'm still working at trying to get to leave today, but that may be difficult. So, I'm trying... We'll just see how it goes.

Aside, everything has been... well, it's been. Kat is home with her parents for Chirstmas (though, not completely liking it... she is upset that they're not going to be able to go to her aunt's for Christmas and that she won't get to see her grandparents...). However, she's hanging in there.

So, for now, I'm still working on working. Lots of academics to still be done. Trying to get all of my reading and over the break homework done now, rather than later. Etc etc.

Aside, I've been trying to revamp my physical activity schedule. My last one didn't work nearly as well as I hoped, mainly due to personal laziness (or, more so need to retreat away from people after working with them all day) and tons of course work. The tons of course work hasn't gone away, but I have more time than I did during the previous quarter. Hence, we'll see how this goes as well.

Masters, Masters, Masters...

So, I am on my second quarter of doing my Masters in Game Development and Design... And all I can say is writing... Yep, lots and lots of writing. To be honest, I really like writing. I write short stories, designs, and rules for random thoughts all of the time. However, last quarter, I wrote over 300 pages just for my two classes, not including senior project. For the final project in Interactive Narrative, my partner and I wrote a 48 page design document, 86 page dialogue script, and 22 page treatment, none of which could be said are fully complete. Yeah, lots of work...

Right now, I'm using my free time to further my engine and work on spare ideas. These include short story writing and the like.
