Week 2

My java professor was in the twin cities for something this week and I stayed home from school Tuesday so I barely had any classes. I did pick up 3 shifts (7 hours total including a Saturday shift) at different locations so I now know what I'm doing anywhere on campus.

I'm having a problem with my calculus professor. I was using my 1.5x time accommodation for his first quiz and he sent me upstairs in the math hall's lobby where they're still finishing their massive renovation. Needless to say I was pretty fucking distracted in his already weak lectured material. I didn't have enough time to finish the quiz so we'll see how I did. I sent him an email telling him that's not going to work anymore.

Sunday I watched football and played Civilization 5 with Denise.

Seahawks losing to the Colts isn't that big of a deal in my opinion. I thought the officiating had a few big missed calls that would have been nice for us and a few big debatable calls that were called in the Colts favor. It was still a close game but as I was telling Ian, I'm almost glad that if we had to lose it was to the Colts. They're not in our division or league; The Niners also lost to them; We were away from home with a pretty good crowd against us; The Colts are good; Most of our misplays came from fixable things; Andrew Luck might be the best sophmore+ quarterback (Kaepernick, Wilson, Newton, Tebow, Luck, RG3, etc).

Civilization 5 is pretty ridiculously addicting. We restarted a few games before we really got into it but eventually I was Babylon and Denise was England starting on different continents. I got stuck on the furthest south tip right on the border of a bunch of Tundra, so I cut off other civilizations access to those tiles with 3 or so settlements and took the +1 Faith from Tundra pantheon. I'm a hyper science/faith based civilization and am building trading posts on all the unusable tundra tiles so I can switch to a massive amount of gold output in one turn.

About ten turns before we stopped playing Arabia decided to try to convert my central trade city. Yeah, I own their capital now and am about to take their second city. They didn't have a military at all (from what I see so far) or workers anywhere near either city so I just pillaged all their food and production while I switched to full gold mode. I'll probably end up just completely taking their empire and razing one of my least productive cities.

Obviously, I'm not doing a good job of not playing video games. I've limited even beyond "just playing socially" as I'm only playing with one specific person since she's my wife and I can file it under doing more things with her. But I wasn't working on comedy at all which is a problem because I have less than a month to get my NaNoWriMo set up.
