Masters in School Psych.
really want to mess with the kids' head when it counts.

And today is just one of those days, my body can no longer go on. Physically exhausted. Worked 6 days this week. Including a holiday. Spent 2 days in the hospital with my residents. Working on 3 hours of sleep for the past 3 days due to work schedule.

Yeah, think gonna go home and just pass out.

I've been more or less on tour since mid-September with only a few days back at home. We go back out through the North East/ New England from December 3rd - 13th hitting some smaller cities. After that I'm home for Christmas and New Years with not much to do in January. I'd like to pick up a part-time job or something, but I'm not sure what I could find for just a 1.5 months.

I know that feeling. But I decided to stay single for at least 6 months, concentrate on my own life for a while. Finish my study, find a job, etc.

Of course it helps that no (worthy) girls are interested in me.

i'm doing well.

OH SNAP ITS DARREN MCLEOD.

i have to finish a few papers, and then exams are coming. i'm in second year law. it's interesting stuff. I also just applied for a google policy fellowship. i won't get it, but it was fun to apply.

Super. Finally graduating in spring. Done done and done.

Contract is ending at Propaganda soon, on December 19th. I've learnt a metric fuckton of game programming. I'm really happy I landed this Coop. I'm a lot more confident in my abilities now. I've thought tandemly about working while at school. I've sent my application off to Rockstar but I haven't sent to anyone else. Propaganda straight up told me they had to put a hold on hiring because of the whole economical bullshit thing. I'm willing to bet every other studio is like that right now. Oh well! Maybe if I put effort into school next semester I'll enjoy it. >_>

OH SNAP IT'S DARREN MCLEOD

Welcome back.

I was going to ask 'how are you doing', but you just answered that...

Dylflon · 11-30-2008, 02:21 PM

Darren!

Still writing?

KillerGremlin · 12-01-2008, 03:58 AM

Medium well.

BlueFire · 12-01-2008, 05:19 PM

I have to write two term papers and take two exams before I can go home for the holiday. :[

At least I was able to enjoy Thanksgiving break, somewhat.

Hey, I wouldn't have mind your TG break.
You got to see Boston, Philly and New York in a short time.

And you got to meet new people.

I don't consider seeing you "meeting new people"

yeah! I tried to email you once but you never responded. either you didn't get it, or just didn't feel like responding. oh well. I was in vancouver all summer and was planning on emailing you to meet up, but forgot about it and didn't get a chance. it's a shame.

i have been too busy with school to do any writing this semester, but i plan on getting back into one of the screenplays in january when i start a work term. what about you? what have you been working on? where are you? new west?

Krypton · 12-02-2008, 11:37 AM

well i've just recently been employed, and it's great, kind of.

other than that though, things aren't picking up and i'm not a very happy person as of late.

well it's just typical stuff, which most of you wouldnt find worthy getting upset over; problems with a certain girl, my friends, family; but mostly that girl.

it's stupid, but i'm surprisingly new to a lot of stuff, so it's hitting me hard.
