2-21-00 (9:04 p.m.) Today's been one of those days, and this week looks like one of those weeks. Warcraft is going to kill me, or at least it's going to try. I stayed up really late playing a cheesy as hell version of castles with Peng. You start with a skeleton that can destroy a town hall with one blow...and if you play orcs, you can make more. First time we played, we didn't realize this. The second time our opponent just came killing us with armies of skeletons...fortunately, Peng was human, and they were stupid. He polymorphed their guys, while mine tore up their base. They should've done a better job tearing up our base. But peng could build peons, and I could raise dead them. Following this game, we got really cheap. Game name: "Cheesy Castles" We would warn them it was cheesy, and tell them you started with hero units. Then we would begin the game, go straight for mages, and polymorph their skeletons. One guy, the first thing he said was "wtf" then we were killing him, and he said "wtf" and then after it was clear they were screwed he said "kill the newbie, then ally with me." My response (of course) "wtf". As you would probably guess...he was pissed. He challenged us to a real castles game 2v1. The board he chose was almost exactly the board we know and love: Castles L & R. My level 7 ogre magi, made short work of his level 3 ogres. He did wall in his base, but peng's dragons made that inconsequential. This is just the interesting part of an addiction which prevented me from getting any sleep last night. I eventually completed my Physics Homework, and some of the English reading. I was really groggy for all of english, and I know I fell asleep in Physics. How do I know this? Well, I don't actually remember waking up. I do however remember bing in an empty Physics classroom, which implies I was asleep only moments before. I remember making fun of peoples who did things like that. So this is kind of an embarassing way to start my week, especially in a class where I'm not doing quite as well as I would like. I suspect I'm already not on his list of favorite people. I'm not sure why he didn't wake me up, to lecture me on my sleeping habits. Maybe he wanted me to be late to my next class to teach me a lesson, or maybe he didn't want to deal with me, or maybe he really doesn't care. I had no next class, so I wasn't late for anything. I just went and crashed in the AURICS room till about 6:30. I had intended to go see Malcolm X for scholar's credit, but then just didn't feel up to it, so I went to Taco Bell, tried to track down a group member from the photo scavenger hunt, then came back here to write my journal and start my work. As you can see...I've only made it to the first part of that. Daily, I have not that much to do, but in the long run, there's lots of little things that add up for stress. Test Wednesday, Test Thursday, Test Friday (that I'm rescheduling) Little to no work this weekend (done, not assigned) then a test next tuesday, and the makeup for the physics test at some point. My main goal at present is to survive this week. We'll see how it goes.
