Last semester went well. Managed to pull my GPA up enough to keep my scholarship. Also, I got married August 12th. It was a simple, civil ceremony. The full wedding is still scheduled for December 20th.
My wife has a new laptop that, although the graphics capabilities of it aren't the BEST (shared memory nVidia running Vista.... urgh....) they are far better than my own pathetic laptop (Radeon 7500.... so old....).
Classes are much harder this semester. I will have to work much harder to keep my grades up. If nothing else, I can take easier courses next semester to boost my GPA. Also, I plan on beginning work on my Computer Science major next semester, along with my History major. Hopefully I can still graduate in 3 years with both degrees.
On the gaming front, I have been keeping my eyes on graphics cards. NVidia seems to be winning the war against ATI, at least from my perspective. ATI cards are still very good, but I haven't seen a new ATI match an nVidia in a long time (in anything other than price, that is). Intel also seems to be edging AMD out in the power category, but AMD was leading in sales the last time I checked. Also, Spore is amazing. I can't play it much anymore, seeing as how I have actual work and studying to do. Seriously, no game since Alpha Centauri has kept me up FIFTEEN HOURS without my knowledge. I'm utterly impressed with Will Wright's new game. Looking forward to trying Fable II when it comes out, if I can bum a 360 and the game off some buddies...
That's it for today's post. Gotta head to the post office and then it's off to class. Yay, Russian History!
