Is It Summer Yet?

Quote of the Day: “Yeah, you can be both. We call them bipolar.” — Professor Jason Stoner, my Organizational Behavior professor, as to whether someone can have both a Type A and Type B personality

I’m sick of school right now. Which is odd because in reality I should only be sick of one class: Religion & Science. We had another pop quiz in there yesterday. I did better than last time, but that’s not saying a whole lot. But that class is bringing down my attitude across the board. And there’s no reason for it. In all three of my other classes I’m currently pulling an A (albeit with only a few grades). It sounds strange, but I can’t wait for my first test in there. It’ll pull up my grade (hopefully) and these quizzes won’t feel so important.

Last night at Navs was the first Night of Worship of the semester. This was also the first time I was the percussionist for the band. How did it go? Considering Rob and I only practiced twice for it (once last Saturday, once an hour before show time) it wasn’t that bad. But between my lack of skill and Rob’s occasional mid-song tempo changes I think it showed. I mean, God still met with us last night, but there’s something about doing only enough to get by when it’s something you’re lifting up to the Lord that I’m not comfortable with. Hopefully we’ll be better prepared for next month.

After we came home from Navs last night Scott and I took a stab at fixing my game. You see, last spring I started playing Knights of the Old Republic on Xbox, but in early April I got to a point where the game would freeze on me every time I played it. Since it was the same
place each time I figured it was either a glitch in the game, a scratch on the disc, that there was something wrong with the file I was saving to, or that my Xbox was screwed up. Well this week I went about trying to fix the problem. I downloaded the update for my Xbox dashboard but that didn’t help. The disc looked fine, but to be on the safe side I rented another copy. That didn’t help. There was no way really to tell if it was just a corrupted file, but it still opened so I figured that probably wasn’t it. So it was down to a glitch. I searched the web and posted questions on message boards until finally last night someone replied with a possible solution (it involved mashing specific keys on the controller). I tried it a few times and couldn’t get it to work. Then Scott tried it a few times and after a few tries he finally got it to work. So after almost nine months I’m back in business. Since there’s no football this weekend there will probably be KotOR in its stead.

Upon further review there’s probably a very small percentage of people who really care about my video game issues. Add to that the fact that my fan base is already small and there’s a good chance no one who will read this will care. I need to get better at this game called blogging.

Along with video games, this weekend I think I’m going to put on my webmaster cap. I will (finally) be updating the Nav website with the help of my new co-webmaster Tiffany (lol, if that ‘-’ were a ‘b’ she’d be a cobwebmaster, haha… sorry). On top of that I’m going to start
working on a new section for my website if I have the time, not to mention fix my photos page. So the fans that I do have will be happy.
