The final moment is almost here. Sunday is the day I graduate, while Saturday is the day I have a graduation party up north at my grandparents' house. Actually, it's a graduation/50th wedding anniversary party since they are celebrating 50 years of marriage. It should be a riot. However, this is just going to be family, so I'm having my other graduation party with friends next month. My grandparents live 2 hours away from where my town is, so it would be too much trouble inviting friends to a party that is 2 hours away, especially since gas prices are devastating to our pockets (prices are actually going down slightly, which is nice). But anyways, my dad and I are taking off tomorrow morning to go up there, while my mom is going to come up later on after work.
I just wanted to give an update before the weekend because I knew that if I waited until Monday or something, I'd have too much to say, and my blog post would turn into a giant novel (as if they aren't giant novels normally:P ). Nothing much has been happening over the past few days, but it's been nice and mellow. I went to Gamestop on Tuesday to take advantage of that 50% off deal that they were advertising. The only game that caught my interest was Sega Genesis Collection, which was only $10. I've had that game on my wish list for quite some time, so it was definitely a wise purchase. I mean, it has 28+ games on it! That's insane! I also rummaged through the used games like I usually do, and I stumbled upon Viewtiful Joe 2 for only $2.99. I had no idea that game had come down in price so immensely. It was even cheaper than the original Viewtiful Joe, which I played and beat a few years back (and then traded-in, since I was a fiend when it came to trading in games back then:roll: ). So, I couldn't resist picking that up for that insanely low price. I haven't played either game yet, though, since I want to finish games on my Now Playing list first. I've also been replaying Resident Evil 4 on Pro mode because the Resident Evil 5 trailers and impressions have made me crave some Resident Evil 4 goodness. I had no idea Pro was so hard! I've died so many times that it's not even funny. It's mostly during the Ashley-escorting segments, since they are a pain in the ass, but I'm still having fun. This game never gets old.
On Tuesday night, I went out with some friends that night and we just hung out, whether it be at Tim Horton's or Wal-Mart:P. We had nothing else better to do. Even Anony Miss came along for the ride, which surprised the hell out of me. She even called me this past weekend, but only to request some prom pictures. However, she forgot why she called because we talked for about an hour:P. It was nice spending time with my friends like that, though. I want to continue with moments like that during the summer.
Wednesday was the day of the senior luncheon and commencement rehearsal. I was actually surprised at how good the food was. We paid $1 for either steak or chicken. I picked steak of course, and it was pretty damned good. That was the first time I had eaten something at school that was delicious. I was even stuffed afterwards, as if I had just eaten at a regular restaurant or something. It was nice. Then we had our commencement rehearsal for the actual event taking place on Sunday, which was pretty straight-forward and simple to follow. I just hope it isn't as long as the honor's assembly was. I really hope I pull through without anxiety.
Today has just been a day consisting mostly of playing Resident Evil 4 and editing my videos on YouTube by adding annotations to them, which is a pretty cool new feature. Speaking of videos on YouTube, I finally uploaded the first part of my playthrough of Goosebumps: Escape From Horrorland by using CamStudio to record it, thanks to brandyinindiana's suggestion;). It doesn't have the best quality, and the audio is messed up for some reason, but it works I guess. Depending on if I keep having more problems or not, I'll have to see if I can get some more gameplay videos up in the future. I sure hope so.
That about does it for the updates for this week. Wish me luck on Sunday!
