dis-joint, dis-connect.

Been meaning to update for a while, but it's become a real effort to check any of the usual internet haunts these days. My shitty connection is one of the main reasons, followed by a few other things that happened this month. Thankfully, the personal storms have died down (thank god for friends who choose to stick by you in spite of everything), so I'm slowly crawling back to being around on the virtual sphere.

The connection hasn't really improved at all, though.

At the moment of my writing this, I've finished checking all of the student works that have accumulated over... well, the past month. Maybe more. I'll be heading on campus for the last time this school year tomorrow, to give my final exam for the Lit 14 kids under me, and to get the last batch of student submissions that I'll need in order to compute for their grades.

This year has been pretty instructive, on the teacher front. I'm going to put my money where my mouth is and work on a complete overhaul of my curriculi - like, schedule everything in an orderly fashion, and add extra modules that'll hopefully improve the cailber of the students who end up getting me as their teacher next year.

Got to look for schools, too. I've decided to finish my MA degree in ADMU rather than abort it mid-sem to go elsewhere, but that doesn't mean that I shouldn't prepare all the same.

Speaking of school: the paper I mentioned in the last post? I managed to get my topic of choice - that is, proving the theatricality of tabletop and play-by-post RPGs - approved. I also managed to submit it in time, although my professor will be out of town until the 26th. Grades are due on the 30th... I do hope she'll be able to check it in time.

There is something grim yet beautiful about measuring your life through the pills you pop at night.

Conversely, there is something amusing but perfect about having a cat who's ridiculously attached to you. Gouto has a MOM MOM MOM meow. She uses it often, especially when I leave her behind in the room.

As the plurk list knows, I've been tripping out on Final Fantasy 13 and the Ace Attorney series. At Chapter 11 for FF13 - taking my sweet time because I want to complete a lot of the quests.

(Which reminds me: does ANYONE know how to do Mission 27? I have no clue how to reach the mark when it's at the center of a circle that I can't walk to.)

Finished the Wright and Justice games, and I've just started Edgeypoo's game. It's good stuff, although I do think they could've afforded to expand on a few things a little more.

I don't think I've gamed this much in a while. It's one of the many things that I've yearned to go back to for a while, I realize. Writing, archiving, marathoning series I follow, fixing my music, mixing and doing my icons are a few of the others too.

Completed my usual Lenten ritual, which involves me somehow getting struck with the odd urge to read through one of my older works. This time, it was Gravity Attack.

I'll probably flail about this in another entry, when I'm more in a mood to spazz at length.

And I still owe everyone photos.

Re mission 27: I think you need to run the elevator from top to bottom, and you'll encounter the mark automatically.

[izkariote.livejournal.com]

...See, I somehow missed that. /accidentally finished it sometime after doing this entry

[tasogareika.livejournal.com]

...man, you seriously plowed through the games didn't you.

Not that I can say anything, since I did roughly the same.

[izkariote.livejournal.com]

I actually got pretty lazy sometime after the third Wright game!

[tasogareika.livejournal.com]

ffffft yeah, the last case in there can get tedious pretty quickly. XD

[izkariote.livejournal.com]

Sometimes I want to scream WHEN WILL YOU BE OVER at the DS.

But it can't hear me anyway. So. :|

[tasogareika.livejournal.com]

*pats* Just think that it will have to end eventually, and you will be fine.

[mesomerism.livejournal.com]

Glad you're almost done with school stuff. :)

[izkariote.livejournal.com]

YES I AM ALMOST THERE--

I'll probably have to shut myself away when it's all really finished for a while, just to regain my beasrings.

[mesomerism.livejournal.com]

Be sure you relax a ton before hopping back into RP and stuff. You need to give your mind a break. :)

[izkariote.livejournal.com]

Ahahaha, I suppose! I really should get back into the swing of things, though. I've been awfully neglectful.

[desumethis.livejournal.com]

i misses thee ;A; MOM MOM MOM MOM

[izkariote.livejournal.com]

NOT YOUR MOTHER.

You're never around on campus now. T_T WHEN WILL WE HANG OUT.

[nabradia.livejournal.com]

Ooh, mission 27! Just done that one. =D

You've got to speak to the Menhirrim statue on the roof part to get a lift that takes you to the seventh floor! Kill the four dancing bird things in the room the lift behind the statue takes you to, and then talk to the statue in that room.

He'll make the floors spin like some of them did earlier and the central elevator (which you can get to from the 7th tier room now the door is unblocked) will then be able to reach all floors. Use it to go to the top and then down to the ground floor to trigger the battle.

Equip thunder resistant accessories, sob.

[izkariote.livejournal.com]

Did it by accident sometime after I wrote this!

...Didn't have any thunder-resistant thingers, but thank god for Synergists.

[kye-kestrel.livejournal.com]

MOOOOOOOOOOOM

[izkariote.livejournal.com]

...She has a meow like that too. ;3;
