My computer really needs to stop breaking.
And DHL needs to ship faster so that it won't matter that this computer doesn't work.

... Never decide to build a new computer before you have all the pieces. XD

OMGGGG

How many people are gonna be coming to this?
Hopefully Ball State will be able to bump it up to normal attendance (12 ish). But if you're still in NJ and are gonna make the drive over here, pick up Kso and that crazy black guy who thinks he's the shiz at pokemonzzz.

Who wants to team...

with my Bowser?!



"!"
No thanks! I will be teaming up with my bed, and possible just show up for the usual after smash dinner on Saturday.

It sucks though. I was going to be in the tournament for a change, but having to work till 4 or 6am (yes, 6AM) Saturday morning isn't going to allow me to be there on time for the tournament. Anyway, tacos rule.

i have to work at around 4... so, how long do you guys think doubles will take?
If we're true to form, it'll be like 5-ish.
Of course, that's only if you make it into finals.
And there's always plenty of friendlies to be had before then!

Brett and I are takin' this tournament with our -awesome- teamwork skills,
And -incredible- ability to play this game consistently.
Hell, we hardly -ever- forget what game we're playing anymore!

UPDATE!
So ... yeah ... my phone basically just exploded.
I'm not sure how reliable texting me is going to be in the near future. O_o

blazblue?

Is that game fun?

I swear I need figure out this time management stuff. I need more time for fun, but all I do is eat, sleep, work, do hw and sometimes check facebook/smashboards. how do you guys do college (and 13 hours of work a week) and still have time for fun? Did I mention I'm still not having enough time for the studying I need to do? I'm getting B's on tests I would get A's on with just one more hour to study, and I'm pretty sure I failed a com114 presentation... (my delivery sucked) :/ Real life advice please: critique my life.

1. What's your course-load like? I took 18-20 hours of engineering my first year (without a job), and basically had enough free time to go out to eat once a week if I was lucky. Now, I'm a lazy junior and taking 12 hours of classes. Probably have slightly too much free time on my hands, but hey ... beats the alternative.

2. COM114 is graded (or at least was when I took it) on improvement. Flub up your first presentation? Hey! You'll get graded a little easier on the next one. It's a bit of a fluff class, and most of the later presentations are actually fun if you force yourself to be overly cheerful about them (especially the group one).

Also, yes.
The **** extra characters are $8 a pop right now though. XD
Sorry Jay, I'm not buying the squirrel just yet,

I wouldn't worry about the comm 114 presentation too much. Unless your teacher is a **** with a power trip, they are never graded hard.

Real life advice please: critique my life.
Hours per week: 168

You might sleep: 63 (That's erring on the side of Kirkq sleep.)
You are working: 13
You probably spend in the dining courts: 10
You probably spend in class: 20
You spend moving between these places: 10

52 hours remaining. You probably only need maybe 20 of those to devote to classwork. You can spend 14 on smash. You still have 18 left. Basically just stop wasting time. If you're spending more than 20 hours on homework and still not giving a satisfactory COM114 presentation, this is probably a problem of accomplishing your homework effectively.

He said he rarely gives above Ds for the first presentation. It's an honors only class.

You raise a good point... I just have to sit down and decide what is important and what isn't. And then act on it.

Free from now till 7, then 9 till whenever for Smash today. Giev call for game.

Also, gonna emphasize what Kirk said. I am taking grad level math courses and still not topping 20 hours on HW a week. Discounting Honors Abstract Algebra of course, but that's because he assigns stuff ever day like a crazy person.

Lmao you get 9 hours a night? *******, I get 5 on a good day, or 12 on a weekend day.


On the upside, I'm on a new supplement that's supposed to help me fall asleep =D

LOL! Voorheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese :laugh:

edit/ Any smash tonight? If so, then I'll put a big dent in my hw right now so I can head out. I'll try to finish a lot of the homework regardless, but smash will motivate me more. xD

Toobz88johningonfobzeatingcobsonhobz. I am doing a dumb, arbitrary HTML page for a team project that is pissing me off with its stupidly put list of requirements. I would have had people come over for Smash already if that weren't the case.

Hey everyone, I just wanna let you know that I left my phone at home yesterday (but don't worry, I remembered the charger :p), so if you called/texted me yesterday then don't be upset--I didn't ignore ya.

Jason, are you going to be free later tonight?
