The Emergence of the PC as a Gaming Platform

In the late 1980s and early ‘90s, video gaming was becoming mainstream. If a kid didn’t have a console at home, chances are, he had a friend who did. But, at the same time, something new popped up. The Commodore 64 was the first gaming computer, but the era from 1986-1994 saw the emergence of the PC as a viable option for gaming, alongside the consoles.

Early New Year Preparations

So I'm preparing for my 2010 calendar already...picking out my binder, insert options, and, most importantly, adding in important dates and contact information to my address section.

Also, I'm working on planning for my potentially having an academic overload from the second week of December until I graduate...which could potentially push my graduation to February 2010 instead of May 2010. Sure, it would cost a little more for those months but I think it'll be worth it...then Greg can relax, get a part time job, and go to school full time online.

Psych Evaluation, End of the Term, and More!

Psych Eval:

So I went to a mental health clinic last week to see about getting help in that regard. The evaluator showed some concern, but she's not overly worried. I have another appointment scheduled with an actual psychiatrist in a couple weeks...don't know what to expect. As strange as it sounds, I can't wait to be on meds to balance me out. I'm so tired of the ups and downs.

End of the Term:

Tomorrow marks the end of the term at school. I'm worried my 4.0 GPA may get lost. I'm showing as .25 points short of an A in one of my classes, which would bring my GPA to a 3.8 overall. I hope my Final Exam, post test, and 2 research assignments makes up for the .25 points.

More:

I have been playing with making polymer clay flowers. I've gotten pretty good at roses and some forms of lilies, but nothing super realistic.

Flowcharts!

So, here I am, sitting in "Fundamentals of Customer Service" (yes, it's a class), and we're doing flowcharts. Not like I haven't flowcharted before. But still. The symbols are wrong for what we're doing, it's an incredibly boring class, and we've spent about 3 of the last 5 hours of classtime doing flowcharts. Isn't this a class where we're supposed to be learning about customer service?

Also, I've added a blogger app to my Google Homepage. That should keep me blogging regularly.

I'm terrible at blogging

Yes, I know, I haven't posted in a while. I could come up with excuses, but I won't so...

In my news, I have been handed an unconfirmed diagnosis of my mental condition. Bipolar Disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, and Attention Deficit Disorder. I have done my research, and it all sound plausible. If I am all of the above, so be it. Also, I'm pulling a 4.0 GPA at school with near-perfect attendance. YAY ME! I think...guess that makes me a schoolgirl, no?

In other news, found this...it's called the "Shit Box". Yes, it's a box you poop in.
