So I’m forcing myself to write these things down and start to plan for next semester now, while I’m in the thick of it feeling sorry for myself. “Why didn’t you start this earlier?” “Why didn’t you anticipate x happening? it’s happened every semester you’ve been here” etc. Amid all the activity at my desk I find myself getting into arguments with the little people who live in my brain. Since we work on a semester system, this marks my 6th semester trying to get ready for the first day of class and yet here I am feeling like I’m swimming. I’ve been at my job for about 2 and a half years and you’d think that I would have the hang of this by now. Being in the position I’m in at work that means I’m probably one of the busiest people. It’s that massive amount of activity that happens at any university right before the semester begins. Right now I’m smack dab in the middle of what I like to call “The Flurry”. Rules are still being established, so come help be a part of our community’s development! If you’re interested in creative writing and want to join in with a group, we’re always looking for new residents. Written by about half a dozen of us, it’s just getting started. Using some of her own fabulous ingenuity, Storm developed Birchwood Falls – a fictional town with fabulous people living their lives. My friend Storm expressed wanting some kind of creative writing outlet and PBEM was the first thing I thought of! But alas, research has revealed that the medium is all but dead. It’ll keep you laughing.īirchwood Falls – I used to be involved in Play By Email RPGs (PBEM RULES!) when I was in middle school/high school. Sporting a super classy url ( ) I highly recommend bookmarking the awesome man’s burden. There’s way more to find at the awesome man’s burden and my drunken friend is always coming up with new bits to keep us entertained. The first series A Zombie Story just recently finished while the 2nd round CHUD is just taking off. My personal favourites are the “stern letters” in which Chako posts actual letters he sends to actual companies (check out this gem he sent to McDonald’s and their later reply) and the short stories. The awesome man’s burden – Formerly just “chako’s blog”, the awesome man’s burden features variety of humorous posts. With an easy to remember url ( ) The Mind Cemetary is a great place to get a pop culture fix. I’m particularly fond of the video game reviews Kingpotato pinpoints the best and worst in video games and wraps them all up with an arbitrary review system every time. Mostly consisting of video game reviews, The Mind Cemetery also dabbles in the art of ranting, movie reviewing and finding sexy pictures of video game cosplayers (the Tekken girls in the 2nd link are my personal favourites). The Mind Cemetery – Kingpotato (!) writes this blog. ![]() Because I’ve been working lat every night and I haven’t spent the time with her that I want.I recently added some links to the Links section of my blog that I thought you should check out. So, this post was really about just dumping my brain in a more public place. Unfortunately, I learn the big lessons very slowly. This is just one of those work challenges I’m learning to deal with. Really, I should be prepping for the next semester all the time. If there’s one thing I’ve learned from all of this – you can never start planning too early. ![]() ![]() ![]()
