EPTCollege is a lot of fun. My schedule is all types of relaxed. I have Wednesdays off. I'm in the first of a planned four year program in 3d animation, first year is focusing on drawing techniques. It sounds weird but it makes a lot of sense to have a strong background in art before moving into the digital realm. So that's fun. Also you're like what lex 4 years of college? Well it's more of a career program inside of a big college, so no uni required.
So many hot girls in college. If you only did high-school, quit your stupid ass construction job right now and sign up for college. Get some girls brah.
My college is having an overflow of students, so some classes have been rented out of the fourth floor of the giant ass movie theater across the street. My humanities teacher didn't show up one day so I straight up played pool and MissPacman in the arcade a floor below for 2 hours with friends while waiting for French class.
Everything is super relaxed. Half an hours late for class? Don't sweat it dude. Didn't show up? I'm sure you had a good reason. Smoking weed just outside school door? Move across the street please, no smoking on school property.
That said, for all it's awesomeness, college is killing my healthy food intake. Some days I'll have peanut butter toast and a banana for breakfast then consume nothing but coffee until 6 when I get home and promptly consume 1.5 k calories at once. Yikes.
Starcraft is fun. For some reason I got it in my head that it would be fun to start playing WoW again around August, so I didn't play for a long time. That game just pulls you in. First you just want to try the new dungeon, then you've joined a clan, then you're making friends. Damn it's brutal. I had a moment of clarity Wednesday night when my guild was bitching at me for not sticking around to finish up ICC at 3 in the morning because I had to get up for class at 6. I lay down in bed and said "What the fuck am I doing?". I got out of bed, logged on, sold all my shit, sent the money to my favorite guild mate, deleted my character, my real-id friends, and the vent info from my saved servers. Then I passed out and had a horrible fucking 8-5:30 day at school.
So I started playing Starcraft again and holy shit does WoW noobify you fast. I was pretty much just about ready to jump out of platinum with a 73% win rate and 40 games under my belt when I started wow, and now I couldn't beat 8/10 of my opponents. My apm was god damn 80. Happy to say that since then I've put in 15 games (on school days) and am climbing back up through platinum. My apm is back at around 130. In truth it only took me about 5 games to re-acclimatize to SC, but they were the most frustrating I've ever played. I very nearly cracked my keyboard over my monitor after losing to hydras in ZvZ. It's like playing underwater. You know what you need to, should do, but you just can't get you're hands to do it. I just had a moment of extreme rage after losing to a reaper rush just now. In fairness the guy was quite good. His apm jumped to a solid 230 while microing his reapers. I held off the rush with both expansions in tact, but marauder marine came rushing in soon after. Somehow I forced myself to GG and leave without raging. After watching the replay I realize that was the most redeeming aspect of my play. I'm still not up to par, but I'm getting there.
Very excited for OSL finals tonight. Rooting for Jaedong (how could any of you not?).
Watch this.
