But aside from you all, I really don't like people. So you know what that means? That means that I MUST have at least five group projects this semester, with five different groups. That's twenty people I'm working with that I don't know and probably don't like.
So far it's all been okay. Half of the teams are usually pretty nice, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't rather just be writing all of these group term papers myself.
Positives: there is this foreign exchange boy from Belgium in one of my groups. His name is Jelle and he is sweet. And a girl from South Korea, named JiHyun. She is quiet. They are my favorite group members, probably.
Negatives: There is one overbearing girl in a serious group project we are conducting. She does not know how to compromise and is full of generally terrible ideas. She also doesn't understand punctuality or responsibility. No, you can't call in sick when your group is giving a formal presentation in an hour. We discussed this last night. You said you were taking the last two slides.
Anyway, it's getting chilly out! Time for sweaters and tea and hot foods. Crock pot season. I'm looking forward to being generally cozy around my house. Also, snow. Also, winter break! I won't be home until New Year's though, so I hope you all keep that night clear for some more basement shenanigans!
And for those of you wondering what an anklegator is, they look like this lovely lady below:

In any case, I've been doing a bit of game-playing recently. I acquired Bastion last semester, and didn't sit down to play it until last month. It was a fantastic game. Bright and colorful art, good game play, nice plot with all sorts of hidden information, and a few moral considerations here and there. Also an awesome narrator. I highly recommend it.


And just for the heck of it, here's the whole soundtrack:
Ahhwwwwww! Anklegators are fucking adorable. I'm guessing they're from Bastion? Which also looks fucking adorable. I'm not a huge gamer by any means, but gaaaah the soundtrack (which I'm now delving into) plus the art makes me want to try it out.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry about the group projects. A plague upon the overbearing girl. But you can do it, Amy. You may not like people, but they like you. You are an excellent human being and if they can't bring themselves to excel in your amazing presence then screw them they are idiots. Seriously.
Also, yesss sweater weather! I brought six of my sweaters with me to London and I still want more. A lot more. Enough to spend my whole budget on ugly, warm, ridiculous sweaters. I may have a problem.
When you get home for winter break we should do the Chinese food with the magical boiling water that turns to broth. Hot Pot, yes? After the shenanigan-filled party in your basement, of course. That is being entered into my calendar. It had better happen now. I am using ink.
Anklegators are from Bastion. They travel primarily underground with only their nose-horn visible, like a shark's fin, popping up only like that to attack or feed (mostly on me). They are initially an enemy, but you can obtain a pet one as a sort of 'decoration' for your home base. It follows you around. It is cute.
ReplyDeleteOh man if you do buy ugly sweaters you should make a whole album. The ugly sweater album. Also known as the super adorable cozy Morgan in sweaters album. Yesssss.
I am super pumped for Hot Pot. I hope it is as great as it is in Beijing, because it was amazing in Beijing and I keep talking about how amazing Hot Pot is and I hope it doesn't disappoint all of us. But I am still excited to see all of you, and still hopeful that it will be a delicious occasion.
Wait, Amy are you not gonna be home for Thanksgiving?
ReplyDeleteI will be home for Thanksgiving, but not for Christmas.
