I’m at college now. Having a great time! The internet just came up today-Monday, so I had to blog. The school has a paintball club. The guns and masks are actually owned by the school. We go play in the woods behind the gym. The food is excellent. I got my mailbox today. So now Mom can send me candy. I have a Student ID. I have my dorm all set up. My roommate has not showed as of noon Monday. The campus is great. Love college!
Welcome to my personal complaint box. All who don’t care, either don’t read or don’t complain.
Amy walked in a few minutes ago with a can full of little plastic toy soldiers, dumped them on my bed, and walked out. I asked her to come back and clean them up, but she said Evan(the 2 year old) would clean them up and went to her room and closed the door. I walked back there to ask her to come clean up the mess, but Sarah kept saying “It doesn’t matter get out of my room it doesn’t matter get out get out.” Normally by this point I would have just done it myself, but I just don’t feel like putting up with the crap from Amy today. So I walk over to Dad, get his attention, and try to explain so I can ask his advice. I explain how Amy dumped it on my bed, then went back to her room, but Dad just puts the headphones in before I can say how Sarah kicked me out, effectively saying “I don’t care.” Amy at this point walks out to watch TV. I sit in my room and sulk for a few minutes then try asking her to get them. She sends Evan to get them and bring them to her. I tell Evan “No, if she wants them she can get them herself.” I tell Evan again to leave them, and she says “Evan, just bring me the soldiers because Tommy is being mean and rude.” A few minutes later I ask her not to tell Evan that I am mean and rude, and dad walks out and tells me to step away and stop talking. I went to my room to complain on blog. That is the last of it so far…the soldiers are currently on my bed where she dumped them.
So she makes a mess. Then she refuses to clean it up. Sarah screams at me for coming in to ask Amy to clean up her mess, and YES i knocked on the door and Sarah said “Come in.” I ask dad for advice, but he just assumes I’m asking him to deal with it and ignores me. Amy then tells Evan that I am mean and rude, which I do NOT appreciate. I ask her not to tell him that, and Dad tells me to back off.
My mom set ANOTHER summer schedule….changing from the last one….She wants all the kids off the computers Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays..However we have Wednesdays back.
This is extremely annoying, because one, I just now got things all set with the guild on Warcraft that I could raid any day but Wednesday. Now, as SOON as I fix that, the two days I expected to be able to raid with them are suddenly gone.
And two, during college, I will only be on during the weekends, and not always that. So I would prefer to be able to get as much as possible accomplished on Warcraft before I head off to college, but now that isn’t possible! I can understand it for Sarah and Noah, because they can play on weekends, and they don’t have anything particularly important to DO online. Noah doesn’t play any online games but Guild Wars, and he spends most of his time on Starcraft. Neither of those games have anything that requires large numbers of synchronized people. Sarah just does Facebook, and that doesn’t require anything either. I play World of Warcraft. I have things I do there that take 10 people very well organized, and once you get started with that 10man group you cant go in there with a different 10man group until it resets next Tuesday.
I will get new glasses either today or tomorrow. I can’t wait! The current lens are scratched and smudged so bad that it’s hard to see, and the current frames are beat up, the paint is scraped up a lot, and one earpiece is nearly gone. My only worry is that I might trip and fall over while getting used to the new ones, heh. I can’t wait!
Went to doctor for a checkup today. Apparently, to be a vet tech student, I need shots for Hepatitis, Rabies, and all that. The statement was, “You will get bitten, so get the shots and don’t worry about it.” Wheee! So I know I will get bitten, and possibly broken bones. Meh. I like animals.
We got my snake a log/stick to climb on. His reaction as funny! For a little over a day, all he would do would be to sit in a corner and sulk. He would stare at it, nonstop. I bet he thought it was another snake. After a few hours, he lay his head on it like checking for a heartbeat. It was funny to watch him. Now, he curls up at the top and sleeps.
I started riding horses again for the summer. So far, so good! I am riding the same horse I did last year. Her name is Sky. She will take whatever mood you throw at you and throw it right back times 10. Very fun horse to ride! I hope to do well in the show this year if I participate.
I named my snake. His name is: Bahamut
We went to the beach last week. Had a great time! I swam in the ocean and in a pool. I got sunburned, and cut my foot on a shell. I played at an arcade and ate ice cream. We all played minigolf. I went out probably farther than was smart into the surf. I jumped over waves-waited until a wave came up, then jumped keeping the water’s surface at the same place on my body the whole way through the wave. I faceplanted into a wave when I slipped on the sand while doing that. We found lots of crabs. We went for a night walk on the beach and I fell into a 4 foot deep hole that a family had dug…the waves had filled it with a not-packed-at-all sand. I got some T-shirts as well. I loved it!
My uncles got me DND version 4. I love it! The rules are very different, though.
Spells:
Spells are no longer the vancian spell system. You can still memorize them, but its different. Some spells can be used once a day if you memorize it, some once per fight if you memorize it, and otehrs at will memorized or not, but at 80% power if not memorized.
Fighters:
There is a solid difference between sword, mace, and axe fighters…they have different abilities available.
Wizards:
No more fireball spell 
New races…Dragonborn and Tiefling, and no more gnomes.
There are fewer “save or die” spells.
Dragons are a LOT tougher.
You can do more with your turn.
Bards, barbarians, and monks are gone.
Warlock class!!!
New rules for disenchanting and enchanting magic items.
I love it!
