Play It Off Like I’m Awesome

Still in Houghton, still going to MTU, still not caring one way or another about my degree or things associated with it. Still have another year left.

I’m not bitter, though.

Spring break is rapidly – one might even say finally – approaching. I’m very much looking forward to the week despite the fact that I have a considerable amount of work to accomplish over its course. As I will be missing a week of classes for the Game Developers Conference I’ve decided that it would be in my best interest to stay here and try to get as far ahead as possible. Given my tendency towards apathy it would probably be more accurate to describe the time as “catching up” rather than “getting ahead” but the former seems so much more pleasantly delusional.

Though I will remain under soul-crushing deadlines I believe the break will actually end up being rather relaxing. This is primarily because I’ll be working at my own pace according to a schedule of my choosing, a failing on my part that is becoming increasingly aggravating as time goes on. For some reason the very idea that my time might be arranged and allotted according to the whims and desires of someone other than myself causes a mental block that, when left unchecked, eventually destroys me and everything nearby. This will probably be an even greater problem when I finally get around to finishing school.

It’s nice to have stuff to look forward to.
