On with another post. This one should be short, because Chowning and I need to head out to the mid-season summer league tournament. As I said before I made Chain, however my hastring is worse off for it. This will be the first time I've played on it since tryouts. Here's to hoping that it goes well.
I keep grabbing more and more stuff to read for PhD candidate schools. Part of me want a printer so that I can read and mark up the documents, but it is also over 300 pages, so maybe that isn't a good idea. Reagrdless, next week will be the week of much reading and email. I feel even more secure about a potential position at Tech. To the point where Dr. Chang asked me is I was planning on starting this fall. I need to workout money and what credits can be transferred. I also need to figure out what I plan on doing afterwards.
I hit a slight worry about my status in life recently. Apparently I'm tired of looking at other people my age climbing a corporate ladder while I see myself floudering around. It was something I had dealt with before, however it was usually squashed by my mom. Speaking of mom's one of my long time friends, and now teammate's mother passed away a few days ago. As far as I have been told it was some sort of stomach infection. I was very sad for him, and a little upset because I didn't get told about it until after the funeral, and I would have wanted to go. It also dawned on me that this person has lost both of their parents at this point. I need to check up with them to see how things are going.
Shortly after that my Dad put a little scare in me by calling and telling me he has been sick. My Dad doesn't usually go to the docctor, although he did this time. When I asked him what type of sick it was he responded "the bad kind." This understandably sent shivers up my spine. By the end of hte conversation I felt comfortable that he will be better, but I am going to go check up on him tuesday. If my Dad died that would put me at 0 parents, 0 grandparents, 0 siblings. The closest thing I would have to a relative would be a cousin. That would be very wierd. I spent a good bit of time thinking about what would happen and maybe I'll go into that later, but hopefully I just wont have to.
Death seems to be a premium recently, or at least death/near-death. Fish, who now lives in London, crossed my mind after Chowning suggested it because of the bombings. She has a lot more friends in London than I do, so she was more alert about it. I sent him an email, but then I recalled problems. If I send someone an email, expecially a person that doesn't respond promptly anyway, then aren't I just setting myself up to worry about why he hasn't responded yet?? Reagrdless, he did respond quickly and apparently he was on the tube and in downtown when it happened, however he is fine. Lucky him. He seemed a little rattled, but referenced 9-11 to get a little perspective.
Games are going well. A trip to blockbuster landed a few new XBox games. Star Wars: Battlefront; Psychonauts; and Lego Star Wars will all have reviews coming soon. In addition there should be a long review about the now completed Majora's Mask. Zelda 2 is well underway, so maybe that will get a review as well. We shold be going now, so I will try to get back to you monday. Out.
