Yay for Christmas

Well, I know a bunch of you have been complaining that I never update my blog, well, I'm a busy person with not a lot to say all the time so you all should just be happy that I have a blog in the first place. But I must say I'm very happy to be home for Christmas, in fact Christmas is just ending now and it's been a very nice and relaxing day-except for the parts where Max was running around yelling, those bits were more exciting. I like that little fellow Max, he is acceptable as a nephew. I got a bunch of neat gifts, a bunch of stuff that I will definitely be using back in college. It's kinda strange now, because I didn't really get a lot that I can mess around with immediately, but that's nice because in the long run the gifts I got will be really useful to me and I'll remember that they're gifts everytime I use them. I really really like the pen, I'm very happy to have gotten that especially, I shall be using it often so I foresee the need for ink cartages for that. I really like the shirt I got as well, but my favorite clothes item is probably the bathrobe, something that will see a great deal of use, now if only I had a bubble pipe.... well, that's really all I have to say for now, I really really want to be able to play the bass like Spud can, but now that he has one he can teach more, but he still has to practice every day-I figure it'll be a nice hobby for him that he can do sitting in his chair and maybe it'll even help his blood pressure, cause I know playing music helps mine. well it seems to be read and sleep time.
good night.

Staying till the End

Well, My room is pretty much ready to go. It's all cleaned and organized and what now, and at this point I'm more or less just hanging out as long as I possibly can. I have a neat way to either brush up on old languages or learn new ones for free. I have also found a bunch more CDs in the process of cleaning my room and I have updated my database accordingly. I also found out today that one of the things I get for the bowl game this year is a sony home theater set up, with 5.1 surround sound and a 5 disk DVD changer. I think that's pretty darn neat frankly. umm not much is really going on, I have to figure out a way to carry my laundry bag, duffel bag, backpack, and bass when it comes time for me to leave here, but that's still about an hour away. I would bring home my amp but I don't really think it's feasible for me to carry and I'd like to learn the basics of slap bass over the break, which I don't really need an amp for any way. Another short post, but I don't have much to say really. I'm glad classes are done, only a week before I get to go home, and I'm going to be mostly lazy this week. ahh well, I guess I should take out the trash soon

Reflection on this Semester

Well, now that I've taken the last exam for this semester it is officially over and I can safely say that I learned a whole lot and the vast majority of it doesn't fit in any kind of book. I think my grades are poor this semester, but I also think I passed all my classes and that's what really counts. I don't think I want to be an A student anyway, I'd much rather learn a whole lot and pull in B's and the occasional C, basically just pass. I care about my grades this semester but I don't, they bother me but they don't. I just really really want a break, especially after the madness of exams, I'm just going to lay around the rest of the time I'm here, I know practice isn't going to be that hard, and I know I need to rest and do just fun things for a while with no stress. I'm going to crush a couple of my classes next time round, but that's a way's off so I don't even care about that right now. I really wish I could go home, I miss being there, but this next week is going to fly by and I'll be there and bored soon enough. It just sucks when I'm the only one left in the dorms and everybody else is home. Oh well, I'm going to take this time to organize the room a bit, listen to loud music, play my bass, and play some video games or watch tv or something. It's time for me to rest.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHh

well, it seems the studying has made me thorough insane, but those dried potatoes from a bag are great!!! Also those chunky chili thingies are amazing, no back to futile studying, or perhaps a wee break to settle the madness

A new day with one less paper

Well I finished the paper I had to write yesterday and I think it turned out rather nicely. This leaves only two projects left for the week and as it currently looks I should get at least one today and I should already have more than half of the second one done. It looks like the worst case scenario for my grades this semester is a 2.75 GPA which would bring me to a 3.5ish overall. Best case seems to be a 3.5 which would put me at around a 3.6or7 overall-I think that's pretty darn good considering the happens of this semester. Today, apparently I'm either sick or getting over being so, I have to lift at sometime and work on projects!! The end of these crazy projects is definitely in sight. I just hope I get them all done well.

It's Snowing

Yup it really is snowing here. Things seem to be going in fits and starts for me, today is a tough one and tomorrow is going to be a little better hopefully I can get enough done then that the rest of the week will go especially well.
You know it's strange, I just kinda want to be done with these projects so I can study for exams-it might be that I know after exams I get to go home and relax for a like while, or it might just be that I really enjoy the subject material that I would be studying, I don't know but I just know that I'm getting tired of this whole "I don't actually decided what work I get to do thing" I just kinda want to be left to mine own devices and do things the way that works for me instead of the way that somebody else thinks will work for me

It's December now

Well, this weekend went better for me than I expected, not only did VT win, but my school work went fairly smoothly, i fought somethings are due until later than I expected, and I even got to have some time to spend with friends, so it went well. This is going to be an especially short post because in the mist of my studying I felt like doing a little writing as break, so I wrote a little story that I will post for all of you to read


Here it is:

-hi my name is hatch and I’m a werewolf and I’m here to tell you about my life story it all started when I was a wee little wolf much smaller than I am now, and even a little less fury. Back then I would run through the woods day and night, fleeing from the creatures bigger than I and devouring those smaller. As I grew I developed my skills, but I had a calling I didn’t notice in any other creature, a calling to the shadows, to the dark life of the unseen warrior. I was the only one who knew of this calling and I grew my powers of stealth up from within. I no longer had to flee from the creature that were larger and strong then I for they could no longer detect my presence. I no longer devoured creatures smaller than I, rather I stalked them and in the last moments of their lives I would peer into their unseeing eyes right before I sunk my sharp fangs into their soft necks and tasted the warmth of their life itself oozing into my gullet. I became a master of this trade which only I seemed to know. My confidence grew and grew until it grew beyond my actual skill. I still remember that day, I will always remember that day. As my skill grew I began stalking and feasting on the flesh of larger more powerful beasts; it was on one such day that as I was drinking in the glazed unknowing look of a truly mighty beast I felt it for the first time. The air itself became the fires of hell as it danced truth the hairs on my back. As molten even poured through the forest of my own fur my blood froze for I knew what this meant, there was one that stalked me as I stalked all others. Even as I was preparing for a glorious feast this other hinted to me not his presence but that I had already entered the final moments of my life. I knew he was there I felt him savor the fear that fell from my eyes as I planed my last seconds in this life. And then I knew what I must do. In the second that the world itself spun backwards, the second that the skilled other made the leap to his flesh that same flesh deftly responded to my command. I ducked underneath the very beast that I myself stalked as it stupidly stood there chewing the bones of some creature even more foolish than it self. I round and ran slightly as only the truly practiced can; I ran until my very blood betrayed me and became the same hellfire that now possessed the vector of my being. I collapsed, body frozen with pain, but eyes darting frantically to catch glimpse of he who had bested me. As I searched the once familiar forest with my last bit of strength the specter that haunted my last moments of existed failed to appear. Then my blood froze as I realized the truth. The hellish transformation of air and freeze in time where not warning of my enemy’s attack, they were in fact the aftermath of that strike. At that moment I feel out of conciseness into a dream world of horrid visions about a twisted and disfigure soul that wondered through a barren unwelcoming world spreading fear and unrest as he drug his grotesque form from barred window to locked gate searching all the while for…. In this moment I am once again greeted by the sun, but it is not the sun that I know, it now has more fire and less warmth. I pry open my assaulted eyes to survey the strange new world around me filled not with the familiarities of old, but instead with hard cold stone and strange unknown formations. I found this new world to be more detailed but less informative than the old, devoid of the traces that I so often used to stalk pray. Now I stood to find my connection with mother earth halved and my protective fur gone. I had become a new beast no less ferocious but much less familiar. This was the first time I had taken this fresh form and even though I have seen vast change and witnessed the start and completion of innumerable lives in the intervening time, those moments and my flight from my transformer have burn indelible images into my mind. I must find what I have become I must know why I never sleep, I must master this new life as I mastered the old….
