Lag

Throughout all my life experiences, I have come to the conclusion that lag is not cool. My first experience of lag would be in the game called StarCraft. This StarCraft computer game has eaten up many hours of my life; but it brings out the nerd in me, so I don't mind. It is always good to be nerdy sometimes, because it makes you feel like there is hope in this society of dumb. I'm not saying people are dumb; actually, that is what I'm saying. Society as a whole has become dumb and dumberer - myself included. However, that is a totally different topic, and I will say no more; or else people will be at the front of my door with pitchforks. But, believe me, there is no need to do that. Because in relation with StarCraft, I can't really play right now due to the lag. I've tried to make some fixes and adjustments to improve the gameplay; but it was so bad to begin with, it doesn't matter how much tweaking I do, it will still lag quite badly when I play. Curse you graphics demanding applications! /endnerd

Much of the experiences I have with lag has always been associated with a computer, until the last couple years. When I started driving, I absolutely failed at judging on how much time it takes for me to get from point A to point B. Today, I still struggle with that. And I know I am not alone when I say that being lagged by traffic is one of the most stressful and miserable things one can experience. There's been multiple accounts on where I have been affected by traffic lag, and there will be many more.

A third type of lag is a universal force. No, not jetlag because not everyone is that affected by it. I am talking about procrastination. Here I am again, saying that I am falling behind in school work; thus, I am lagging behind in my assignments and readings. I just finished a paper not too long ago, it was a book review. I'd be lying if I said I read even half the book, let alone all of it. I get hella lucky with these things, and I know it's going to catch up to me. I have been trying to get by this term through halfass-ing my readings and assignments. Not a good start, and we're almost into the Reading Week - which, I am super stoked about.

In other news, I went to Market Mall today so I could fool around in the Apple store. I'm honestly not sure why I went, because I already have a good idea of how Macs work. Anything beyond the basics, I'd probably have to personally have one in my possession for some amount of time in order to dig deeper in how these computers function. Lucky for me, it looks like the new MacBook Pro will be updated in March sometime. After it comes out, I'll wait a little bit to see some early reviews, and then I'll go make my purchase.

Umm, in some more earthly matters, life is good. School has been a much more pleasant experience this time around, minus the laziness. The slow adjustment continues to move forward and I'm excited to keep going on. I am also beginning the process of looking for a church to do my practicum at next year. On top of that, I will NEED to start looking for a summer job as well. After the MacBook Pro burns a hole in my pants, I need to patch it up quick, so that is why I need a good paying and fun summer job!

I'm single, but happy valentines day to those of you that it applies to!
