Hey there, how ya doin’? Anything exciting happen to you the past few days? No, well, excuse me for asking then! I’ve got a tidbit of new information for ya’ll though. If all goes well you should be seeing a couple ‘o intersting posts from another editor that isn’t me in disguise! Yes, great succes, I know. Hopefull this’ll liven things up a bit since the blog’s been awfully quiet the past few months.
Here’s some other unrelated news: Nintendo has shamelessly announced the DSi LL. It’s basically a DSi for people with really huge hands, or really bad eye vision. It weighs about the same as the old PSP so you’ll even build op some muscle using it. I’m just joking of course, but there’s one thing bothering me: why? Why would Nintendo release another DS? I mean, the DSi hasn’t even been out yet a full year. I understand that Nintendo is a company that wants money, but who asked for this? While it’s true that some people have been complaining about the DS’s screen size… Since when does Nintendo listen to their fans? And even then those same people that wanted it seem to be the ones disliking it. I don’t get it.
I won’t be buying one anytime soon though, Nintendo mark my words. People don’t want to another DS, the DSi LL will fail. I mean, Sony’s bad with their PSP GO, but the DSi LL offers nothing new; the ‘old’ DSi can do the same, is smaller and cheaper. It seems all Nintendo wants these days is money. Well, Nintendo’s at their best when they’re doing bad financially. Remember Pikmin, or Majora’s Mask? They’re games Nintendo created in times of financial problems. I guess it’s a double-edged sword…
Strange…

I’m writing this with a certain feeling of melancholy. I am feeling uncertain about things I felt certain about before, and I’m feeling certain about things I was uncertain about. I can’t seem to shake the feeling either. Why must you pester me, strange feeling?! Maybe it’s school? Yes! It must be school. Speaking of which…
While I’m sitting in the bus I’m wondering if I’m prepared for today’s events. One would assume I am, since I’m sitting there with my backpack and with a certain look on my face. Indeed, physically I am ready. But mentally? That’s a different story… What have I been doing the past 8 weeks. Have I helped society in any way? No. Have I prepared for school? Of course not. Then, what have I done?
I worked in a factory for a day, that’s what. Yes, I had the privilege of working under Mohammed that day. Mohammed was an all right person, though he did tell me an interesting story about his son. Apparently his son has both asthma and allergies. Surprisingly my own allergies return that day, after years of being absent, they return. Strange, perhaps working in a factory where they work with glass wool wasn’t a smart thing to do…
The bus stops to pick up some people. This reminds me of something; I’ve been through this before. Looking around me, I can see more students. Will they be attending the same school as me? How many of them will start their studies with enthousiasm, then two months later quit due to a lack of interest. I’ve been through it before. My previous class started with 45 students. Only 16 graduated.
School looks immense. One could easily get lost here. Oh well, I’ve got four years to figure it out, it’ll work. The first class isn’t too promising. A somwhat bald, middle-aged man tries to explain how this year will go. Tries is the right word here, since his laptop stops working during the presentation. Not much later an ICT guy check it out and it appears that our beloved middle-aged man forgot to plug the laptop in. Ehh, I’ve been through worse.
The rest of the day feels similar, no, it IS similar. Will I really be spending another four years in school? Oh man, I’ll be 23 by the time I’m done. Well, it’s better than working full time, at least. We’ll see how it goes…
