This is just a huge general update about my life, my story, and things im looking forward to.
The date is currently September 23rd at 4:43 pm (time will change by the time im done writing this journal)
Im approximately 2 days and a few hours from getting to play Halo 3. Im a huge halo fan and its always been a story, a game, an experiance that ive greatly enjoyed and i can not wait for the final game in the series. More about this down the line.

My lifes a little crazy right now, School is a major part of my life right now, 21 credit hours is a little crazy but thankfully homework isnt a HUGE part of my life yet.
My web programing class has its fun parts but it also has parts that are excruciatingly annoying, such as reading and doing review/group discussion questions that are worth 50% of our grade ><
next up is the networking class, we have an over qualified teacher with damn near every computer certification known to man, the only problem is hes from ITT tech and is teaching the accelerated class he tought there to us when we dont know ANYTHING about networking. Its a little hecktic but i think im staying just above the water and not drowning.
My two business classes, business management and business communication are rather fun. i have the same teacher in both and there only 30 minutes apart (that 30 minutes is my only break all damn day btw) The teacher is really cool and a lot of it is group work so its a good and easy environment to learn. not too much homework, mostly presentations or reading. Presentations are easy enough for me to practicly just wing em and reading isnt necessary because he teaches the book in class so if you goto class and listen its not an issue.
Finally is my programing class, this LOOKS like a fun class but god help me if i dont kill the teacher. He constantly spends the full 3 hours of class explaining something that should only take 30-45 minutes to do/teach.

As for my story, im slowly working on it. Bits and peices here and there all around really, ive added 2-3 pages to the second part of the story and as for the current one ive nearly finished chapter 10.
Ive been looking for material recently to further my writing ability. One of these sources has been in the halo 3 advertising campaign. what they did there was absolutely amazing, they took a game, pure fiction and gave it realism. The HUGE diorama they are currently using for promotional reasons is a part of this. It took a game, and made it into history, fear, sadness, triumph and honor. They gave it feeling and emotion which is exactly what i want in my story.
Next ive been looking at other sources one of which i just forgot off the top of my head XD the other was Saving private ryan. Its one of the more accurate war stories that ive ever seen portrayed. Crude ruthless and pure human nature.
Oh yes, that other source which i find disturbringly close to my story even though i had always hated it. X-men.
I hope that soon i can wrap all these new sources into my story to make it feel more real, and make you the reader feel more connected with the story and the characters that partake in it.

That is all ^_^
