I forgot to post this with the last one, but here is my graduation photo in case any of you haven't seen it yet. Skyway and I are just classy as hell.

Sunny Days!
Not only does that title describe the weather of late, but it also references the fact that the most beautiful girl in the world had her birthday yesterday. Now if I could just meet her in Korea, that would be amazing (beyond that, it would be head asplodery kind of stuff). I lucked out today and for the second day of classes in a row, I didn't get any homework. It's just coincidence though and I know I'll start getting more again soon. My current lack of homework combined with the fact that I'm installing Diablo 3 right now (I'll let you know how it is in the future) made it seem like a really good time to make a post. On and before I forget, congratulations Orion! By the time you read this post, you'll have graduated!
I finally got an Elo ranting in League of Legends. It's a mere 1278, but I'm quite happy with it considering how little time I've put into the game. I haven't had time to do solo ranked matches since getting the rating due to my workload, but I will definitely be improving it as my assignments begin to decrease in number and severity. I'm not sure, but my elo may actually be higher than what Chris' was. Shoutout to Steven and Eric by the way for getting to the next range of elo (generally it seems each 100 elo is a range). Eric rose to the 1500s and Steven is now up in the 1800s. I've also started playing Starcraft more with Keir and Mike (Keir's friend that I now play with a lot). It's been really fun to mess around in fours. I also want to get better at Starcraft again, but that will definitely wait until I'm free for the summer. The only other game I've really played has been Guild Wars 2. They did a beta weekend and a recent stress test day. I played a lot with Steven and Chris and I have high hopes for the game, it's been really fun to play.
PAX screwed us over big time this year. They had to delay their ticket sales by a week and when they came up that second time, there was no prior warning. As a result, all three day passes sold out within the first 9 hours. By the end of the first day, there were only single day passes for Sunday left for sale. Shortly after that, no tickets were left. All we can say about that is scalpers are douchebags. So since none of us could get tickets, we decided we may do something else and are currently looking at possibly camping or something. Since Steven and Chris have more free time, I've deferred to their opinion on where and when to camp. Occasionally, I might have input if a site where we went during my time in Scouts comes up, but other than that, I trust them to make cool choices and it seems like they are.
The sudden lack of caring about my third class bit me in the butt a little bit recently when I got 0.5/10 points on a quiz. Fortunately, the lowest of our quiz scores is dropped (which will be that one) and in addition, the quizzes only count for a small portion of the grade since they're more or less reading checks. I still try as little as possible in that class though. We recently had an advertisement project where we had to create an ad for a policy. I decided to make mine really cheesy, which seemed to go over well. After watching it enough, I didn't think it was very funny (I had to cut a lot of humour due to the time constraint), but people laughed during it and I got thumbs up from people on my way back to my seat, so I felt pretty good. I was really nervous presenting it because I know nobody in the class (they're all in the PoliSci department), so I fear I may have been shouting at them during my presentation, but I guess that's better than me being hard to hear.

Yes, it's meant to be extremely cheesy and no, I don't agree with anything it says.
I've hardly been playing frisbee. After the last tournament (sectionals) where we played five games a day for two days, my knees started hurting really bad. They are fine now, but the slight pain combined with my homework load and the fact that I can play with Eric at a pickup that runs during the same time as our practices lowers my interest in going to play with the team. We do have our final tournament coming up this weekend though. It's The Hot Apple Turnover (THAT) and it's in Wenatchee and basically all that happens there during the weekend is a large amount of ultimate and massive amounts of drinking. All the seniors on the team are going and this is where we get to do our disc chugs, so that will be fun. Unfortunately, I'm going to miss Diablo 3 with the guys this weekend as well as Squirtle (the guy who beat me back in the Code A qualifiers back in September) is playing in the Code S finals. He got really good since I've played him. I'll be rooting for him in spirit though!
Well that's about everything I had to say so until the end of the month, peace out!
