Alright, so I best get down and get to giving a summary of my time away from you all, which I suppose is comprised of things both good and bad.
For Christmas, I get a number of presents, but the best thing I got was a copy of the elusive and awesome God Hand, the last game made by Clover Studios before it went under.
This game is actually fairly rare, I've been looking for it for a long time, and it's TONS of fun to play. Also, very hard. I've beaten and re-beaten the game. I've done the necessary things to get the hidden videos, and 3 of the 4 jukebox CD's, which include beating the game normally, beating all the fighting arena challenges, beating a 'kick-me sign' run, and subjugating myself to the high-rollers slot machine for I don't know how long.
And it was all tons of fun, except for the slot machine, I have no idea what they were thinking with that one. The only thing I have to do is beat hard mode, and I'll unlock the last Jukebox CD and then I'll have everything there is to get. But even after I decide to put it down, I'll probably pick it up in the future to play just because it's so fun.
Also, I think I might be getting promoted to Chief Justice of MCTI's student Court system, if only because the current chief justice is getting a job elsewhere. That'd be really cool, but I'm not sure WHERE the current chief is currently, so I can't be sure.
Also, I was swindled out of 30 dollars by a unrepentant woman that I thought I could trust. She wanted to buy some knickknack, I'm not even sure what, and so I loaned her the money because my other friend (the one that gave me God Hand) said that I could very-definitely-for-a-fact trust her to return it. Cut to three weeks later, and every time I confronted her about it, she came up with some excuse for why she couldn't pay, until she finally got a job and high-tailed it out of the school. Goddamnit man, I was pretty angry about that one. I guess I should have listened to BOTH my uncle's advice that loaning people, especially friends, money is a bad idea.
I made some good friends along the way as well, and then I got to watch their bittersweet goodbyes as they graduate from their courses. I'm progressing to my second term in Customer Service, and I'll need to fulfill certain demanding prerequisites and petition to get invited to a third and fourth term, which I very definitely want.
But, I made a dumb mistake: my teacher gave me some homework to complete over the break, which includes collecting information to build a resume, but I made the stupid mistake of leaving it in my dorm room instead of taking it home with me. I feel so stupid, I wish my memory weren't so shoddy.
I'll just have to made do somehow, but I have trouble with the references part. The trouble being that my teacher wants people that aren't from MCTI, but the problem with that was that I was actually a pretty reclusive and generally an unliked person before I started going to MCTI, so there's that. Once again, I'll just have to made do somehow.
There's some things I'm forgetting, I'm sure of it. I'm sure I'll remember more in the future.
