Summer beings, Summer ends

Summer school starts monday.  Yay.  That was a great week of summer!  Good news is that I managed to paint two rooms, a door, organize most of my crap AND move into a room in the house!  Bad news is that I'm not moving anywhere anytime soon.

In other news, I'm excited to begin my second ENG 305 class on monday online.  I haven't stopped writing poetry... I'm just having a lull.  I've been trying to work this neat idea about a symbiotic weed / tree poem and an insomniac lilac but I just haven't had time to punch them out.  I also do better when I actually read good poetry. (Found an old poetry book I bought from Barnes and Noble like two years ago on a whim... and I now realize how much that books sucks...)

Also, since I've been so busy working on the house and at work I haven't had time to play many games (online or offline).  I felt horrible the other day when I remembered I hadn't been scoping the new for FFXIV news in two days.  DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY LEAKS COULD HAPPEN IN TWO DAYS?!  Apparently the whole WORLD MAP was unveiled during my two days off... it won't happen again... >:(

YESSSSSS

I've also decided to resubmit my application for the FFXIV Beta since Alpha is looking to be ending soon and my computer won't be able to handle the uber beta graphics. (Apparently they are revamping the graphics in the beta test) So I've had this special FFXIV beta code lying around for a while and decided to use it.  It is from my PS3 version of FFXIII and is suppose to guaranty me access to beta testing (and more once the game is released) so I'm done taking chances.

On a side note: I HAVE A TON OF BOOKS.  I made it a point to never sell any of my english novels from class (they only sell back for like $2.00 each anyways) and that has made me quite a library!  I'm thinking I'll need an actual bookshelf soon so I can find a reread the ones I like and hide away the ones I don't... *cough* Beloved *cough* ...

My grades for the semester were great as per usual nowadays.  Hopefully things will keep cruising at this speed and I'll be out of school in no time... and straight into Eorzea for the next 8+ years of my life.

Windows 7 - Activation FAILED... for the last time...

So I finally wiped my computer for the um-tinkth time trying to get Windows 7 to work like new again...  So I've given up and reverted back to Vista.

I can already feel my computer screaming at me.

I wish I had an extra Windows 7 key right about now :-( but I don't think it's worth $200+ dollars.
