Fall Awakening
Sorry I missed a day, but life. Still bringing it back!
One thing that has absolutely revolutionized my life in the past few days is the sign of glacial progress in my attempt to tackle Fire Emblem: Awakening. I'm a really big fan of this game, or I would be if I didn't suck so much.
Ok, I don't suck, but I did make the foolish decision to play on Hard difficulty (from the choices of Normal, Hard, and Insane), and the game really is unrelenting in its difficulty. I got past the first three levels fast enough, then got stuck on level four for about five months, and in the past week I completed both level four and a side level, which has left me very impressed with myself.
I am, of course, now thoroughly stuck on level six. It is interesting that I could focus on one game so uselessly while the rest of my catalog yearns for my attention. I could probably have complete a dozen games in the time I have spent trying to beat that one freaking level four.
In other news, Math is fun, and I was reunited with my old TI-83 Plus graphing calculator today. I even remembered the password to my copy of MirageOS. The calculator itself has a huge dark spot in the middle of the screen where the LCD is going bad or something, which is a minor annoyance so long as I maintain a fairly light contrast level. Does anybody else have this trouble with their old TI-83s? My friend's is fine, and it should be about the same age (though less used), but my sister seems to have done this contrast spot thing to TWO of our calculators now.
I went to group today and I felt good about it. I am going to try reading at night to theoretically help me sleep easier.
Tomorrow my registration nightmares end.
