All Too Easy

Have you ever been faced with an assignment that was just too easy? So easy, in fact, that you didn't quite trust it? This is how I feel about one of my classes. It's an online class in which we have had exactly two assignments the entire semester.

Online classes are usually harder than real classes because they want you to post all these responses to make sure you're doing the reading, and to create a class discussion. But this class... well, it's nice that the guy trusts us to actually buy the book and read it on our own. At the same time, though, part of me keeps thinking there must be a catch. It... can't be this easy.

Just now I read the syllabus yet another time, to make sure there weren't any components to the class that I was missing. But nope. I guess it really is that easy. And yet I am wary of it.

Where Have I Been?

I don't know.

Busy, for one thing. I worked some extra shifts to make up for being out of town. I wrote a major paper. I stressed out over school, because in case you weren't aware, I have a job offer on the table that's dependant upon me finishing my classes. I... sat around not bothering to move because I have this psychological thing where, if I'm unshowered and gross, I can't begin to deal with life. Oddly, that extends to posting on my blog, even if none of you have any way of telling whether or not I've showered.

But I have showered, fortunately. We got our toilet and shower back on Thursday night. I am in love with the toilet. I never thought I'd say that.

I played a couple hours of Oblivion. Now that Mike's playing too, it is hard to wrestle him away from the computer. And I read two Jennifer Crusie trashy novels (not entirely trashy, because I feel she's too clever to be labeled trashy, but romance novels anyway) yesterday.

But I don't have any major thoughts right now that don't have to do with Oblivion or the short story I'm writing. So... yeah. You'll have to put me on hold. Although I might have something interesting to post tomorrow. Depending on what thoughts occur to me.

Why haven't they made KOTOR 3 yet? Why am I stuck in a rut where all I want to do is game? Why do I suck at life?

Sigh.
