So we got a PS2 in our house as of today, and I found out that my parents had picked up a Wii earlier this month. This is a historic moment as far as gaming goes in our household: with the exception ofand the Gameboy Color I had in my pre-teens, these are the first consoles we've had sincethe NES, which we got when I was 2.

I'm excited, obviously, although my parents only picked them up because we made a deal concerning my grades as motivation. Since I made it through everything successfully (even a couple hard classes in the end), we have a PS2, and the Wii was here because Mom wanted to enjoy Wii Sports and other stuff like that. Honestly, I'm the only one in the family who is really happy about getting these; I'm the only one who actually plays games, and I'm not necessarily a gamer. I AM a computer science major, so the crowd I hang out with is most certainly into games, and I've been able to get my buzz off of them, but now I finally have my own consoles at my place (and will also end up taking at least the PS2 with me when I move out!)

Sadly, I probably won't find much time to play either system, even over winter break. I'm applying for an internship for the spring, have at least 3 classes that already require my immediate attention for next semester, and I still need to go over everything from last semester. Geez, but at least I can catch up on sleep.

Anyway, a wee bit of celebration for this relatively historic day, but it's back to work for me. Peace.
