Be My Escape

...is what I'm listening to right now. Re-rediscovering Relient K. I know, I know, those who know me might ask, "What!? You're listening to Christian songs?" Okay, maybe not, because that might have been an over-reaction on their part, but to tell the truth, I sang worship songs when I still went to Church every Sunday. (And for my part, I might be a little vain to think of that.) Songs like, "You're All I Want", or or some Don Moen songs still play in my head, although I must admit I am ashamed to sing them out loud. That's just me. And for the record, some Relient K songs (as well as Switchfoot ones) are pretty good and could pose as non-worship ones.

Anyway, that's not my point today. Nor would be anything else, because I'll be talking about different stuff, so...

First up is this game called "Neverwinter Nights". I know it's a reeeeaally old game, but it got pretty good reviews (Editor's Choice for some magazines), and I'm all up for Role-Playing Games. Yes, I loooooove Role-Playing Games (RPGs for short): Diablo I, Diablo II, Fallout, Fable, The Elder Scrolls, Baldur's Gate, etc. Now I'm excited to try this Neverwinter Nights. From my initial try it looks really nice, interface is sleek, character movement is smooth. I haven't fought anything though, just finished the tutorial. I am avoiding it because 1.) it might destroy my academic life; and 2.) it might destroy my life. As you might know or not know, I am still in college, and I have upcoming exams the next few weeks. So what I'll do with this is play it after my exams, so it won't interfere. Then again, given my record for responsibility, this plan will not work. I might play later, I don't know. We'll see how long I can't resist opening the desktop computer and opening the game, and letting my right hand get glued to the mouse.

I'm also downloading a bunch of other old games, such as Aliens Versus Predator and its expansion pack, as well as Ghost Recon and its expansions. They're both from 2001-2002, so it's pretty easy to guess the components of BOTH my laptop and desktop computer.

Onto math. Since early morning, I have been trying to study Finance. Upcoming exam on Saturday. It's still a week from now, but I have to study because I don't understand the lessons. But then again, the thought that it's still a week from now gives me time to, well, take my time. That, or it doesn't make me feel guilty as much. Well, what do you think? I have the words 'fund', 'investment', 'withdraw', 'payable in advance', 'present value', and various others to understand. I know what they mean, just not the equations I have to associate to those words.

Anyway, enough blabber and more work. Or, play, in my case. I still have tomorrow to study.
Now that doesn't really hurt saying, does it?
