Finals... Finally

Okay so I didn't exactly blog after the track meet like I said I would, but then again finals start tomorrow and I have two of them on the same day. Really not looking forward to that. I'm blogging now in the time slot I've given myself for relaxing. I just got to the library after a Calculus review session that was actually pretty helpful. My professor isn't exactly that great so I was surprised at the usefulness of the whole thing. Also, and this is what I'm really excited about, after the review session I went to the B&N and got a new book! Pyramids by Terry Pratchett. I've come to the conclusion that he is one of my favorite authors now. I just read Small Gods by him and I'd highly recommend it. Reaper Man is by far my favorite of his works though. Pick that up for sure.

So, what else is there... I got to talk more to the The (Potential) Girl at the track meet on Saturday, so that was pretty cool. I think from now on I'm going to call her The Prospect. That seems a little more fitting.
Anyway, talking with her is just really, I don't know how to describe it actually. It just exists, and when I'm there I really enjoy myself. I just really like talking to her. It's not that we're both super interesting people, or we both have something amazing to say about the world (although I hope that this might help me realize that I do have something amazing to say about the world), I just really like talking to her.
Unfortunately, there's a kid on the team who's said he's into her too, which is kind of downer. Specifically because said guy is a complete and total douchebag and/or asshole. He's just really cocky and he doesn't know when to shut his mouth. But whatever, I can't force her to make a choice, especially when I find it hard to initiate a conversation with her. It's her life for sure, I just think it sucks that I might lose out to some asshole. Read Friday's XKCD and you'll get what I mean. http://www.xkcd.com/513/

However, if she were with me, she wouldnt feel like the ending turned out wrong. XD- now who's being cocky?

But I digress.
In other news, The Surrogate Roommate has re-introduced me to my love of superheroes. (However, Superman, Batman and Spider-Man still suck IMO)
I'm thinking of starting to write up a plot line for a superhero. I have the hero in mind (Heroine actually) and its a character I used in a D20 phoenix campaign- which is like DnD but with superpowers instead of swords. Best campaign setting ever.
But yea, all of this sifting through crazy heroes and X-Men has given me the itch to create something of my own. This happens every once and a while but usually I just procrastinate my way out of it. I sort of sit back and watch the itch build until finally I just say to myself "I don't have the time for it."
I do this with a lot of things.
Maybe though, just maybe, this time it will change.
After all, after Wednesday I only have one more final and it's not until Monday. I think I'm going to start something then and finish an intro story line over break.
That should work.

Anyway, I think I had better get back to studying.
Break time's over
