    Finals Thus Far

    By Ektris,

    So I've now gotten back two of my final exam scores...
     
    I got a 76 in my physics class, which was actually enough to bump me up to a B- in the class. After bombing the first midterm, I'm satisfied with my final grade.
     
    But I spent so much time worrying about physics that I didn't study enough for my matrices/linear algebra class, which had a final on the same day. Failed the final, barely got a C for the class. Yet my exam scores are still above average for my section at least. Still doesn't change the fact that I am not happy about this one, when I felt so confident about that class.
     
    Still haven't heard back about my macro econ final, despite it being the first I took.
     
    UGH I DO NOT WANT TO KNOW HOW I DID ON CALC 3.
     
    And I stlil have one more tomorrow, likely to be the hardest yet.
     
    Yep, having a great finals week, I am....

    Muaka & Kane-Ra P. 3

    By Ektris,

    So it seems that while trying to outbid the highest bid, I actually managed to get it right on the second auction - the one I hadn't even tried yet. And it's exactly at the point I was going to bow out. With less shipping than the other one I was trying for and lost.
     
    So unless something changes in the next hour and a half, it looks like I will be getting me a Muaka & Kane-Ra.
     
    Oh thank goodness I'm working over break.

    M&k Part 2

    By Ektris,

    *sigh* While I was sleeping the max bids on both auctions for Muaka & Kane-Ra seem to have skyrocketed such that I can't even figure out what they are... And that means it's pretty much above what I'm willing to spend. I wish eBay would just tell you the actual bid instead of hiding it to goad you into trying ever higher amounts. That's so cruel (and not how live auctions work).
     
    But yeah, looks like I'm not getting them now...

    Muaka & Kane-Ra

    By Ektris,

    So two auctions on eBay both end in a little over a day, and have Muaka & Kane-Ra going for pretty darn cheap (EDIT: $30 for both in one lot, $10 for both for another at the moment - probably should've just said that to begin with ).... I'm tempted to get in on at least one. Any of you out there think it's worth it?

    Lego Minecraft

    YYAAAAAYYYYYYYYY! !!!! !!!
     

     
    Of course, getting 10,000 votes in Cuusoo was just step one. Now let's hope they can actually do something with it.

    Joepa Part 2

    By Ektris,

    Oh god it just got so much worse. I can actually hear gunshots as a response of Coach Paterno's firing (my entry this morning was over him announcing his retirement). I'm legitimately scared for my life because of the riots forming.

    Omg I'm Tired

    By Ektris,

    So I was just up for about 32 hours. And then slept for 8. And still want sleep pretty darn badly, but headaches kind of preven that.
     
    But so yeah. Hey you. We just raised $2000 to help Children's Miracle Network Hospitals! How did you spend your weekend?

    Get Your Game On!

    By Ektris,

    In just 2 short hours from now, I'm going to begin my 24 hour gaming marathon. I'm so pumped for this!
     
    I still can't believe I was one of the people contacted to try and set this up here. I know we're a little late, but that happens when you don't have much warning. Next year, I'm sure it'll be even easier.
     
    My only concern now is having people actually want to participate as they're walking by. And, of course, finding a way to get online so I can keep working on ranking up in Halo: Reach.
     
    Right now I plan on playing Reach for much of today, and into the night I'm going to break out Dead Space 2. For those who haven't played it, it's iiiinfinitely better played at night. And if my awareness wanes during even that, I'll have my laptop to break out Minecraft - I can lose hours of time so easily with that game haha. And I'll probably play some SSBM/B, since I'm sure we'll have both. Maybe some Mario Party. And I'll have my DS in case the Pokemon club people actually show up (they're conveniently having a "LARP" simulating challenging gyms and beating the Pokemon League this weekend - yay lol).
     
    Soooo yeah. Now to get through my last class - and probably eat something for the first time today. That's important for this I suppooooose. But at least we'll have food there too.

    So. Beautiful. :d

    By Ektris,

    So I've fallen down a new rabbit hole. And I don't regret it at all.
     
    I finally got my first Kamen Rider S.H. Figuart, and if I could sum him up in one word it would be "beautiful." Seriously, the amount of detail in this figure is phenomenal.
     


     
    The only complaint I would have is that the packaging is rather beat up and doesn't really close properly (and actually had a lot of dust on it o_O), but I can forgive that. After all, I did get this with free shipping haha.
     
    So yeah. I'm reeeeally tempted to get Dark Kiva, Ixa, and Rising Ixa (though he's an exclusive and will be uber expensive. ). Really wish now that they hadn't seemingly cancelled Saga so I could complete the Kiva lineup.
     
    Or maybe I should get a Den-O next. ...UGH. Rabbit holes. XD

    Extra Life

    By Ektris,

    So you wanna know what sucks?
     
    Running a club at a large university.
     
    So you wanna know what's awesome?
     
    Running a club at a large university.
     
    Some of my best days this semester - football games aside - have been during our club meetings. Some of my best friends here were made in getting involved with the club. And to top it all of, we're a gaming club, so everything we do is sure to be fun.
     
    But since we actually wanted to do something meaningful, and I was even contacted directly to set this up, we've been working a whole lot on doing some charity work... Specifically, we've set up an Extra Lifegaming marathon. Now, Extra Life was officially yesterday, but since that was our homecoming, it's this coming weekend.
     
    I never knew preparing to play video games for 24 straight hours could be so stressful!
     
    That said, I'm looking forward to it a whole lot. I just hope we get some good attendance. And that I find sooomething to occupy my time with other than Halo.

    The Clawwww

    By Ektris,

    Somebody tell me how to win on of those crane games. All I wanted was the pretty black-and-blue panda. He looked all lonesome by his panda self. He needed a friend. But the clawwww refused to grip him. It made this Rahkshi sad

    Goodbye

    By Ektris,

    Tomorrow, I'll be going on a short vacation to Cedar Point and will be gone for three days. Just to let you guys know... (I'm talking to you, Dokspit. Please don't fill my inbox with sig reports again. )
     
    Oh. And anyone think I should remind Black Six about removing my blogging abilities? Heh. Sometimes being in your own member group can be pretty nice.

    So, as some of you may know, I enjoy reading/watching mange/anime, though only a few at that. One such manga/anime is Bleach.
     
    Let's get this out of the way, first: they didn't show a new dub episode last night for whatever reason, and that's what made me think of doing this blog entry. Sometimes I think I'd be better off watching subs instead of hoping the dub will keep a regular schedule...
     
    Anyways. For those of you who don't know what Bleach is, here is the Wikipedia article.
     
    In a nutshell, though, Bleach is about a bunch of guys with giant swords that destroy evil souls. And, really, that's all the needs be said about why I like it: giant swords.
     
    I haven't been keeping up much on the anime in terms of literal new episodes, mostly because I don't care much for filler (though, the Bount arc doesn't seem that bad). Instead, I primarily just read the manga. Lol, the latest chapter was great with the parallels of the Shinigami represented in the Arrancar. It should certainly be interesting seeing what happens there. Though, I'd like to see more of Barrigan himself battle.
     
    Sooooo, anyone else like Bleach?

    Dangers In The Night

    By Ektris,

    So, at around 12:55 AM on Wednesday, I awoke with a start. There was a noise, and a strange one at that. Having just woken up, however, I was still groggy and a bit dazed. Then, it hit me: glass. I had just heard the shattering of glass. Did somebody just break into my house?!
     
    No, nobody did. The shattering was right behind me, and nobody could quite literally enter through the window in my room. It turned out to be nothing more than a lamp. After I woke my mom to help clean up the mess (Which, surprisingly, my sister never woke up from... The slightest noise made when my parents wake up to go to work will cause her to wake up. But a loud vacuum? Nope, not at all.), I concluded that I had knocked it over somehow with my pillow - said pillow being on the floor behind me, not in the bed, at the base of the lamp.
     
    That's not all, though. That's the second identical lamp I've broken in the past few months. After cleaning out my departed great grandmother's trailer, my granmother let us take some of the stuff. We ended up taking the lamps, and I chose to use mine as a reading lamp. It was tall enough to fit over the headboard of my bed, so it was perfect. But, it was wobbly, and I eventually accidently knocked it over... So I took the other one from my mom, because she didn't like it. Of course, this one had to have even worse balance, so it really was only a matter of time until it fell over.
     
    Man was I tired in the morning from being up like that... And, of course, there was another day of band camp. Oh, and yet another today. (And one tomorrow...) It's still just boring, annoying, and tiring.

    Cedar Point

    By Ektris,

    So, I'll be going to Cedar Point on July 30th for a sort of family vacation. My sister and I were each allowed to bring a friend, and, with my parents, we'll be staying there for three days.
     
    I'm pretty hyped about the trip, but also a little nervous. I know I'll have a ton of fun at the water park at Great Wolf Lodge, where we're staying, and at Cedar Point itself. I love roller coasters, and I know there are some pretty intense ones there. However, that also seems to be the problem. I don't know if I'll be able to handle some of them... If any of you have ever been there, would you say that should be a concern?
     
    Oh, and I had another day of band camp today. It's still loads of fun. Somehow I ended up with this large bruise on my hip that's starting to bother me, but aside from that, nothing's really going on.
