Classes are going well. That is, as well as can be expected. We have our midterms this week and next week. I'm definitely not looking forward to that. It's just intimidating when you have all this work you do in the homework with aids and books, then to have to do some of the same stuff without the extra materials is just tough. It would be one thing if getting a C in the class counted as passing, but the fact that they raise the bar to a B or higher makes it tough. And I still don't have my car back. I was supposed to get it on Friday. Well, that was the initial plan. But the body shop has been giving me these excuses that the paint guy hasn't been in, and it's been raining outside, and some parts had to be ordered. I swear, I appreciated my car before, but now I really appreciate my car. I don't know how some people depend on the bus to do anything. It's just so inconvenient. And then I hate having to ask my friends for a ride. Most times I have to travel to the other side of town to take care of my business, and i hate having to ask them to adjust their schedules to me. Hopefully today is the day I get my wheels back. Oh, and I've been playing the new Champions game. I have to say, I'm somewhat disappointed. I sort of had these expectations of what it should have been like and Snowblind just blind sided me with something else. Don't get me wrong, stand alone, it's a good game, but when compared to the last Champions, it's a bit of a turn around. The hack and slash is still there, and the side quests are kind of nice. I think my biggest issue comes to play when I start a new game and one of my friends wants to join in. Well crap! We have to start over from the beginning because you can't import a character in the middle of a story anymore. Think about it, if you and your friends are playing one night and decide to call it quits, what do you do if you want to continue leveling up your character and use him or her in the one you're playing with your friends? Plus the fact that you can progress and level up in the arena but you can't transfer your stats to the mission mode is disappointing as well. I think this is one of those games that will be sitting on the shelf until the $20 mark pops up. Oh well, I guess they all can't be gold.
