Update

Haven't posted in a while.

Midterm grades are up, and my grades have dramatically improved. Nothing but A's and B's. The week was a little hectic but it's finally over.

For fall break I went to Bethlehem Farm in West Virginia. Beautiful mountain ranges and trees, sites, absolutely breath taking. It was for a class though, so we did have to work and do community service but overall it was a great exp. Only bad thing was no TV's, internet, or cellphone reception.

I quit cross country last wednesday due to the fact that I do not receive a scholarship for running. I sent a letter of complaint to the Athletic Director and we will have a meeting to talk about my status on monday.

It wouldn't bother me so much that I was running for free, what bothers me is that the coach HAS the money and resources to give me a scholarship, as well as he lead me to believe I had a scholarship all the way till near the END of the season.

Here's the thing: flashback story time.

This cross country coach is new and this is his first year as our coach. I committed myself to Cross country LAST YEAR, before the season started with 2 other runners. All three of us participated in off-season conditioning and practices last spring, when fall semester came along, I was the only runner to return for the season to actually start.(meaning I was committed to the team, before any incoming freshmen were accepted, remember that).

Now the season starts with 9 runners, gradually through rough practices and tough 2 a days. The team shrank down to 5. Out of the 4 that quit, 3 received scholarships(that I know of), all who quit were freshmen. The coach never said I had a scholarship, but he never straight out tell me I DIDN'T have one. I went through the WHOLE season saying "I am running for money" in front of his face, and he never spent 1 second to correct me or tell me otherwise until the very end of the season when I sat down with him and specifically asked.

Now tell me, If you were a first year coach, and you have 1 player who has attended all your practices, committed himself to you BEFORE the season starts, was the only one to return, and pretty much been by your side since you first started your coaching career, why the fuck is this loyal player the ONLY one who is NOT receiving a scholarship out of the remaining runners?

The logic and reasoning escapes me, Needless to say, I quit, and the team needs 5 runners to place in meets. So I pretty much broke the team (1 player quit soon afterwards, leaving 3 runners left). I'm definitely not joining the sport next year.

Anyway, now that cross country is out of my hair, I have an OBSCENE amount of free time now. Enough free time to play MMOs!!!!.

Just one problem....I been out of the loop of which MMO's are in and which aren't D=.

I got a new macbook (mac book pro), not sure how certain games will fair with it but o well.

We all know I read Pearz's blog frequently =P.

I am motivated to play some sort of MMO but what I am not motivated for is to play one that sucks and realized that I wasted my time D=.

One of my friends suggested Lord of the Rings Online (Lotro). Cept I don't think it emphasizes much on PvP and customizations.

I do find Rappelz sota interesting but not enough to actually try. (to be honest I miss the days where Allods was actually fun, don't know if it still is, I kinda miss my Warden lol)

Vindictous = owned by Aeria = Not playing

Grand Fantasia = Read Above

...Anyone got suggestions?
