What a weekend. Saturday morning I got up at 8am so I could go do another shoot at the animal hospital for my project. Unfortunately, when I woke up I remembered I needed film, and the earliest time I could get it was at 10am, which is bad because the animal hospital closes at 12. So, I headed over to the camera place to be there by 10am, bought some film, then flew on over to the animal hospital for some more pics. It was nice and depressing again. This time around I saw a cat that had been run over who was being treated but not likely to make it. There was also a three-legged dog and another dog with a lampshade collar thing. I did get to see some not so depressing animals though. I saw Red, the cat with jaundice and an IV, get to go home with his owners thanks to his successful treatment. There was also a chow puppy named Emma that was very friendly and had the whitest fur I've ever seen. I got some (I hope) good shots of her and her owner along with a series of photos from the beginning of her visit to the end. I managed to finish off a third roll right as the hospital was closing. I still need to do one or two more rolls, but I don't know if I'll have time unless I can manage to get up early Tuesday morning. I may have to take a point deduction.
After the animal shelter, I went back over to campus to drop off my film to be developed, but it turns out they won't be ready until tomorrow afternoon since their slide mounting machine broke. After that I drove home in the heavy, heavy rain and then immediately went to get my hair cut. Came home and passed out for a few hours, then got up and began my 6 page EvoPsych research paper but quickly got distracted when I started playing Street Racing Syndicate after I realized I had the wrong tires on my WRX which were totally screwing up its handling. Once I put the new tires on, I was tearing through the game and eventually bought a Lancer Evo VII complete with mods. I ended up playing for way too long, and before I knew it, it was already bed time.
Today slept in a little, then picked up where I left off on my EvoPsych research and worked on my Computers & Writing project since we have to present it tomorrow morning. I got sidetracked when my dad decided to fix the electrical sockets in all three bathrooms of the house, forcing me to turn off all my computers so he could cut the power while he worked. That dragged on for at least an hour, during which I took a nap since I couldn't do anything else. My dad finally finished so I got up and got back to work. Finished my part of the C&W project, just gotta try and get as much done on my EvoPsych paper as I can, since it's due Tuesday and I won't have much time to work on it tomorrow. I'm gonna be so dead tired tomorrow anyway since I have an orthodontist appointment at 8am. But alas, here I am typing this instead of working on my paper. It's a good thing I only have 8 more days of school left (not including weekends and holidays) because procrastination is hell.
Oh yeah, Friday I went over to Aaron's for a bit to see Metroid Prime 2. I was hoping it'd be awesome but it was kinda disappointing. It was too slow and boring to keep my interest. I just wanted to shoot stuff, not run around scanning crap and rolling around as a ball. I mainly didn't like the fact that you can't look up or down unless you hold R and that you can lock on to enemies when fighting them. Multiplayer was especially lame and I don't really look forward to playing it again. All I can say is it's a good thing I don't have a Gamecube, because there really isn't much out there worth playing on it, other than Soul Calibur 2, Smash Bros. Melee, and Mario Kart Double Dash (which I only recently learned to like after playing it for a few hours at Aaron's).
Speaking of games, I played a few games of Halo 2 online yesterday, and since I linked my gamertag to Bungie.net, it automatically generates stats of all my games (Halo 2 only) and even an RSS feed. Check it out if you have an RSS viewer. Now you can see just how crappy I am at that game.
Well, that's enough procrastinating for now. I really have to get back to work on my research paper.
-edit-
I forgot to mention, the one thing I did like about Metroid Prime 2 was that when you fire into a dark wall or something, the flash illuminates Samus' face and you can see the reflection in your visor. It's kinda freaky to just see faint eyes looking at you (especially when she blinks), but it's also a really nice touch.
Just hang in there. You're almost done.
