Runescape and Video

So, I'm going to blame Dr. Reid and Play Money for getting me addicted to Runescape again. Everytime I finish reading a few more chapters of the book I get an overwhelming desire to log on as Wolf Eye18 and mine away or go and kill giants. I'm fighting the urge to do it right now, actually.

I really enjoyed making the video, mostly because I was already friends with Phil, Diana, and Liz, and therefore felt comfortable with them. I don't think I would have enjoyed working with other people, primarily due to the fact that I can become very bossy if I feel like things aren't being done promptly (or correctly), but I had confidence in my group members and things went swimmingly, as they say. I've always loathed group projects, and even this one I'll admit was a pain. Getting everybody together and in the right mindset is an excruciating task, especially when that group is as busy as us. Diana and I had to break off our boyfriend weekends early to come back, and I know Liz was probably exhausted from her trip back from her track meet the day before. I've always preferred working by myself, or with at most two people, as I thoroughly enjoy doing the podcasts with Diana. Speaking of podcasts, I was talking with her about maybe discussing our experiences with the class for our fourth podcast instead of talking about Play Money, especially because I plan on using video games as my topic for my second Neovox Article (which I really need to get started on, as I was quite disappointed with my first one).

Frankly, I haven't been happy with my performance at all this semester with any of my classes. I haven't been doing badly, but I normally have this crazy vigor my friends all remark on. For some reason, this semester I just lost it. I really hope I pick it up again next semester. In the meantime, I'm going to push myself through the last few weeks. I work at the library from 10-3 (that's where I am now, actually) for the next few Thursdays so that's always a great place to do my homework since everybody's out partying.
