Work, Withdrawal, and Warcraft

So... quite a lot has happened since my last post. I've had my exams on the 4th - Maths wasn't overly difficult, but Programming had some badly written questions where what was being asked was unclear. I'm fairly sure I passed them both, but I'm not certain I'll get high marks. Follwing the exams, I went for a celebratory dinner with a few of the other programmers. That was alright - not great, but alright. That night, I was supposed to get online for Warcraft III with a few friends, but while waiting for them to show up I laid down on my bed to rest for a moment and I must've been asleep almost instantly - I don't even remember actually lying down. I slept until about 4, which was still early enough for me to get in a couple of rounds. After that everyone went to bed. When I got up at 6 the following evening (:/), my Internet had stopped working, and I've been without it right up until about an hour ago. Major withdrawal symptoms - I've been bored to death, mostly playing simple single-player games to pass the time.

So either way, now I'm back online, and of course I still don't have anything to do. Dangy's playing world of warcraft, Rudy's not even online, and there isn't really anyone else to play games with. Dangy and Rudy are hoping to draw me into World of Warcraft (WoW) over the holidays - Rudy'll offer me a 10-day free trial in the hope I'll fall in love with it when I see it. I'll probably end up getting it despite the monthly fee - there really is nothing else for me to do.

Wednesday and Thursday has the upcoming LAN party hosted by the games group DAP, and I'm fairly eager for that. I doubt I'll make it onto any teams (maybe I'll form my own) but I'm definitely looking forward to some good healthy UT2K4 and possibly some WC3 trigger maps.
