Entry 42, May 13

I cannot wait for school to be done with. It will be such a relief not to have any homework. I think we have about 2 more weeks left, but I ca't help thinking it' going to end up being three. Thanks to Brooke, Kayla, and Myranda, I am now noticing the creaking noise Brooke is making with her desk unintentionally. I have run out of thoughts to write about... Oh! I think I might try to finish Eragon this weekend, just because, well, I'm not sure why. I gues it's becoming a little more exciting than it was before, but I also want to be done with it. It's taken me too long, but then again, I'd rather do other things than read. I thi nkone of the major turn-offs for me is that if I start to read it, I won't really put it down if it's a good book, and then there goes my whole day... yay. I like having time to myself, although now that I think about it I spend a lot of time doing nothing really.

May 11, Entry 41

Well, I am soooo ready for school to be over with. But I will be a little disappointed to not have my laptop anymore, since I’ve been working on something with some friends for a while. It’s a concept of a video game I thought of. So far Noah, Tyler, and a friend named Ian are the other people working on it. It’s really early, and last night we kinda sketched out the main plot, and began with the start of the game. It’s a RPG set in a fantasy world. You create your character, and somewhere near the beginning you find a “beast” that you have with you throughout the game. You choose one of four species, and each of those have 2 subspecies. The species are: Dragons, Avians (some sort of giant bird), Warg (giant canine or feline), and Griffins. You also have a primary element that you choose at the beginning. It really just boosts the power and effectiveness of equipment of that element. There are eight different elements: Dark, Light, Fire, Ice, Water, Earth, Thunder, and Wind. You can still use weapons and armor of different elements than your primary element, though. The gameplay is a turn-based fighting system, which we haven’t really thought about so far.
