Turns out I'm going to be learning Russian, not German. I'm okay with this.

I'm taking German 2 right now and German 3 next year. In German 1 I finished with a 99 and right now I have a 98. It's very, very easy.

Gah, I need to sleep earlier.

I fall asleep whenever we watch a long video. I hate getting up, feels like I just got off a long airplane ride.

The Burger King closest to my house gets my order wrong most of the time. The only good thing about that BK is that they have a play area to relax (I still play on it because screw you!),.

So, I'm in a "crisis" in my life.
I reached a point that I want to learn a LOT of things but it just doesn't happen. And as time passes on more and more things enters the list of things I want to do. The thing is, I don't have a lot of time. Because of Brazil's education system, I have to spend more time on the school than necessary. I'm at the last year of high school, and I have classes every Monday trough Saturday, with Tuesday and Thursday being the days I spend basically the entire day on school. And when I have time, like now, I feel somewhat unmotivated. I know I have a lot of thins I can do, but when I look at then I get that "I don't want to do this now" feeling. And all of this sucks.

So anyone got any tips for how can I get things started even when I don't feel like it? And if anyone wants to know what I want do do:

Learn Japanese
Learn how to draw(Digital painting)
Learn 3D modeling
Read the Lord Of the Rings series (Did Silmarillion and The Hobbit)
Finish some games, with some of them being retro that I didn't had the opportunity to play before and modern games)
Finish watching Dexter
Start watching Breaking Bad
Find an anime to watch
Continue learning how to play guitar
Write a music
Write a story
Study math and physics
Make an theme for my phone
MAYBE, learn how to compose music digitally.

If you want help studying Japanese I can help you with what websites to use and where to go. Been studying Japanese for a little over a year now and if you do go on with beginning to study, I wish you best of luck.

I would appreciate that.
I was looking here: http://lifehacker.com/5903288 and I think I'm going to follow this way of learning. I have to adapt that to the 3 alphabets and stuff like that, so any tips to make the learning experience better would be really good.

First night I've really had alone in a long time. It's pretty lonely but it's kind of nice at the same time.

Hey guys, what is the font used in the legal info on PS2 boxes? It's been a while since I've written one and I'm too lazy to browse through tons of fonts to find the right one, haha.

It's been a while since I was this sad. I just realized that it's been almost a year since I moved, and I regret every single ounce of it. I've never had any social interaction with anyone (other than my family) for almost a year. The only time I would ever smile is when I would go back to my old town and hang out with my friends. Last night I had a dream where I went back to my town, and it was the best day of my life. It kinda just made me realize how sad and lonely I am here.

Woah.

Dude, I could copy and paste this, and claim it as my own and it would still be 100 percent true. Seriously, I went through the exact same thing... kinda creepy. It's been really hard but I just learned to live with it and make the best of what I have here.

I graduated from college today. I'm a science teacher now.

Congrats!

Congratulations!

But, you are a conservative. You cannot possibly teach what you don't believe. [/sarcasm]

By the way, congrats on your graduation.

[KoopaDasher]

Conservative only in fiscal policy and foreign policy. It frustrates me to see how many people reject scientific ideas. Especially when those ideas, like evolution, are the basis for a large portion of our medicine today.

Just popping in to give an update on my life. Things are going well. I'm finishing up my final year of school (I stayed behind for what is known as a "Victory Lap"). I took a course that was recently offered, in which I essentially become a teacher's aide, and for my first placement, I was in a Grade 9 course, helping my former Philosophy teacher.

Also, since I got my phone, I had no use for my old iPod, so I finally decided to put the iPod to good use. I deleted all my music off of it, ripped audio from my favourite T.V. programmes, placed them on the iPod, hooked it up to my stereo with an iPod dock, and started listening to the audio as a way of falling asleep. It's been a great way to do it, as I am able to picture the story in my head, without actually having a screen shine light on me all the time.

Other than that, nothing major has been going on in my life. I try to visit this site everyday, but I haven't been posting much lately. I might not appear to be here anymore, but I still am.

Oh, and Koopa? Congratulations on officially becoming a science teacher. That's some pretty awesome news to hear.

I'm just glad it's over... I came to this site after I started college, and I've been in college ever since. I've changed schools, changed majors, gone from living on campus to commuting every day, and I'm now getting my degree two years after I should have been done with my first degree.

I didn't even go to my graduation today. I chose to have the school mail me my diploma. After all this time, it just seems silly to celebrate it. I certainly don't feel like celebrating it. I don't feel like I've accomplished very much. It's more like... thank god it's over. It has been so long, and I've gone through so much getting here, that the last thing I want to do is celebrate. I want to slip quietly into the shadows, and move on with my life.

So despite my prototype utilizing public domain models, mediocre textures and normals, terrible lighting, and bland color schemes, my game design professor, along with some fellow students, say it's one of the more artistically impressive games in the class.

...Right...
