So, I’m actually doing homework today. The internet ban really helped me learn how to focus and concentrate, despite distractions and time-wasting websites. I’ve nearly finished one of my Computer Skills assessments, and I’m planning on finishing another one today. I also want to draft (finally) my Journalism article.

Although it does feel fantastic to be getting work done, I’ll admit that I’m looking forward to the end of semester a great deal. The workload hasn’t been extreme, but it has been fairly consistent, and I’m tired now, heh. I think most of my class are feeling the same way, to be honest; sizes are dwindling as the break approaches.

I spent most of yesterday playing Guild Wars, and much of that was spent playing with my Mum. She has had Guild Wars for almost as long as I have, but didn’t really get into it until recently. One of the quests we did involved escorting an NPC called ‘Farmer Joe’ back to Ascalon, or to safety or something.

We’re running back to Ascalon, and Farmer Joe is fine and dandy, all healthy and running along ahead of us. Mum’s character suddenly has an enchantment cast on her, and her health starts to decline. Then she gets attacked and takes more damage. She yells, “What’s going on? What the? Farmer Joe’s attacking me!”

I died. I don’t know why I found it so funny, maybe because Farmer Joe was still running ahead, or because he was green named, still. Maybe just because of how affronted she sounded, all, “How dare he attack ME?” It was funny, anyway; we both cracked up and laughed about it ’til my cheeks hurt from smiling.

I guess you had to be there.
