Some Big Changes Coming To My Life...

by natetodamax

So there are a few pretty big things coming up. First of all, we're moving to Maryland. Well, we're most likely moving to Maryland. My mom recently landed a job down in Washington D.C., and we'll be living within a few miles of the place, which is really neat because I've never been there. My sister (who has a son - my nephew) is excited because she wants to leave Maine as well. However, my bro...

So there are a few pretty big things coming up. First of all, we're moving to Maryland. Well, we're most likely moving to Maryland. My mom recently landed a job down in Washington D.C., and we'll be living within a few miles of the place, which is really neat because I've never been there. My sister (who has a son - my nephew) is excited because she wants to leave Maine as well. However, my brother is pissed because he doesn't want to leave Maine and he thinks we're just after it for the money (we will supposedly be ridiculously rich from this job).

Besides that, school is almost over. Unfortunately, this is easily the most stressful and worst last month of my life. We have a test and/or a project in literally EVERY SINGLE DAMN CLASS. Now, I don't care at all about tests. They don't bother me in one bit. It's the projects that have gotten me worked up. Also, we have a large project in Technology class due soon. Basically, we're making wind turbines using wood and saws and other heavy duty shit. We were all divided into groups of two, and I got so unlucky when I was assigned one of the, this may seem harsh, dumber classmates. I consider myself pretty sloppy when it comes to problem solving and building stuff, so we make a pretty terrible group. What is so weird about this whole "end of the school year" thing is that we had our Middle School graduation thing last week, which means I technically don't even need to be attending school any more because I already got my "certificate". What's even worse is the fact that, if we didn't have any snow days this year, we would be getting out in 5 days. Instead, we still have about 10-11 school days left. Damnit.

Anyway, that was just a quick update about what's going on. As far as games go, I'm actually starting to get frustrated with the fact that there are so many good games coming out. I have become completely overwhelmed, and I have no clue how I am going to afford all of them (although my mother said multiple times that after we move, we'll have so much money that I can just ask for a game and I'll get it). I've been playing A LOT of Fallout 3 ready. I'm trying to get to level 30, and it's been VERY hard when I've discovered every location and completed every quest in the game. I'm getting there though.
