despite my whining, i'm actually liking school...

school may be a pain to think about when it comes to waking up and with all the rubbish coming up, but i am somewhat happy with the stuff we're doing in school.

i'm actually enjoying myself. contrary to my moanings about hauling my carcass to school, the past two lessons have been actually quite fun with some actual writing involved. coming up with leads and writing a story (with more stuff coming up tomorrow) has given me something to mentally wrap my brain around and toy with.

and having an american lecutrer does make a big difference. i don't know how, but somehow it just does.

and while i played longer than i should, i had a really good session of battlefield 2 with the guys. sure, they were only bots, but climbing to the top of the pile in a tank really was a morale booster. the best part was ranking first or second while playing machine gunner while ollie was the driver/gunner. whilst everyone complained that they couldn't hit the broadside of a barn while i was driving (though admittedly i am a hell tank driver... especially when i'm dealing with equal or more formidable foes like another tank or a chopper. ask all the fellas on the same team who i squished by accident. moral of the story? never hang around the tank/ifv/vehicle when in a fire fight if you're an infantryman. something to remember in real life too.), i somehow manage to shred enemy infantry to pieces and riddle enough vehicles with bullets to earn assist scores. coming out tops continuously only made the ego bigger, tho jem had to be a total asshead and forget we were playing as china when he called for artillery strikes on our own outpost and cause us to lose a round. well, it was pretty funny and frantic when we lost our armour capability and had to try and find ways to get back our base. hillarious stuff.

the stuff that sure as hell made me feel much, much better after the last few days.

and before i hop into bed, i just wanna say another big thank you to everyone who's been asking about me. again. i really don't know what i'll do without friends like you guys and girls out there who really do care about this silly lad.

have a good tuesday peeps.
