So... haven't posted in a little while.
Last week sucked balls, on the whole.
Low-point of the week: learning that my sister had to have a carcinoid tumor removed from her small intestine, along with around 13 inches of her small intestine. She was in the hospital from Thursday a week before last week until this past Friday, and she will be missing the next 5 weeks of work. Luckily, it apparently wasn't malignant or anything, and she seems to be doing mostly fine now. They apparently didn't feel the need to start any treatments or anything, so other than coming back for some routine checkups and stuff, it seems that the worst is over. The most enraging thing about this, though, is that she's been having pains related to this for years now, but every time she'd go to the doctor about it before, they were never able to find anything.
High-point of the week: Eh... there really wasn't one. I guess I'd say downloading the Supreme Commander single player demo and playing around with it for a while would be it.
In general: DigiPen, on the whole, has been rather annoying this semester, seemingly more so than usual. There has been time for little else. I attribute it to the fact that all six of the classes that I'm taking this semester each involve relatively extensive projects (along with other homework and such) and that four of these six are team-based projects. I probably should have followed the lead of several of my peers and dropped, like, at least two or three of them and replaced them with something simpler, but I didn't, so I'm now kinda stuck with it all until the end of the semester. Somewhat alarmingly (in a vague abstract way), I'm finding it harder and harder to actually give a shit about it. Well, on the whole, as far as the big picture is concerned I do still care, but as for the particulars of this semester, not so much. I'm still ultimately doing the work (at least so far), though I find myself procrastinating more and more and to a much higher degree than in the past. I just feel like I'm going through the motions right now, more than anything. I don't think I really fully recovered from the burn-out I felt at the end of last semester (Christmas break wasn't nearly long enough), and so the fact that this semester has the promise of being even worse than last... well, pardon me while I have a preemptive nervous breakdown now and just get it out of my system. Summer can't come soon enough.
