Ranger's Blag

Well, I now know what it is I was forgetting; a Spanish test in two days and a chapter in the workbook. Fun fun fun.

I suppose I should put something else here also, as this seems like something of a waste of a posting. If anyone's out there reading these things, it'd be somewhat interesting to hear what you'd like to see put here. And no, you cannot has cheeseburger.

I also have a History 110 test tomorrow, but I feel like I might have mentioned that before. I haven't studied, and am not likely to, since I don't take notes in the class. I figure it's alright; I got a 95% on the last test under the same circumstances, and why fix what isn't broken, right? Right? Either way, I have a bit of leeway with my grade in that class, what with an average of about 93%.

On the Neo front, oh my goodness, one of my old friends has been allowed to return from the depths of perma-ban Hell. Welcome back, M

So I haven't written one of these in a long time. Oh well. I doubt anyone will read what I write anyway, or care, and in a way that's how I like it. I'm comfortable being unknown; it's what I do.

In any case, things have been busy as of late. Papers and tests and general madness. However, that's mostly over at the moment, and things have settled into a disquieting calm. I managed a B+ on my paper for HIS110, even though I horribly mucked it up in places and didn't come close to meeting the requirements. I know this much: Spain in the 16th and 17th centuries was a frakked up place, ridiculous and doomed. I'm not sure how I did on my other papers/tests yet, but I'll likely find out tomorrow.

So now I'm sitting here with no homework, and nothing to do. This scares me. I know that somewhere I'm forgetting something, that my professors are plotting somewhere behind the curtain to bring down a h

Can you smell that, folks? It's the smell of finals week.

Well, not quite yet. My philosophy paper on the problem of evil is done (which was pretty simple, since said problem doesn't really arise for me. Now I have only a 3 page paper on Marlow's scheme of values in Heart of Darkness, and then on to finals, starting Thursday.

Speaking of finals, I have a Saturday morning final. Screw this crap.

In any case, I'm not much worried. My gov 210 final is more of a second midterm, and as long as I do alright I should get a B without much problem. It doesn't matter how I do on my Humanities final at this point, since my test average is literally 98% and I've gotten As on all the papers. Philosophy is the same sort of deal, and the professor gives us a study guide with all the possible questions on it. That leads to Bio 110. Of all the finals I have to take, I am most worried about Bio 110.

Well, lots of things have happened since last I wrote an entry in this.

On the CyberNations front, the largest war in the history of the world is in full swing. They're calling it "The Karma War," on account of the fact that one of the sides has done some pretty shady and unkind things during the last few years when they've been in power. Supposedly this war is going to bring a new order to the world when it's done, and people won't have to live in fear of being curbstomped, blah blah blah. I don't know that I believe that, but I do know that I don't care. The world as far as concerns me will be the same tomorrow as it was today, the same as it was yesterday. The wheels on the bus go round and round.

My alliance's part in the war was to jump in with one of our allies and attack The Order of Light, at the time a fairly large, sanctioned alliance. One of their allies, FnKa, countered us, but

So, on my profile it says I play a nation simulator called CyberNations. This is true. I've also fairly recently become Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs for my alliance, The Brigade. So of course, the world chooses this moment to start blowing up, and trying to push me out into the greater political world.

Apparently the largest power bloc the world has ever seen started to fall apart yesterday, starting with my closest ally. More cancellations are coming supposedly, but "no one is in any danger." I must say, that line had "famous last words" written all over it.

So now I'm on a tightrope, with two of my close allies moving in opposite directions, and also with a former enemy trying to play nice and get us to do... something... I don't really understand what anyone's trying to accomplish right now, all I know is that the age of relative peace is drawing swiftly to a close.

Also, I have a

So, here I'll write things about my day, my thoughts on various things, and generally amuse myself.

I will likely not amuse you. This is perfectly fine by me. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have silly things to do.
