87.4%

...Give or take a point. I'm in the finals week of my seventh semester, and just turned in my Senior Thesis paper. So it feels like I'm done, even though I have a few tests yet to go, plus a paper due at 6 PM that's only 1/3rd finished.

I feel good. It's the first time in a long time that I haven't had three papers hanging over my head, with more entertaining things to do besides. Someone dulled the academic sword of Damocles, or whatever its equivalent sharp, pointy, hanging-by-a-thread is in academia. Spear of Failure? Ice-Cream Scooper of Apathy? I'unno.

And I may try to keep this blog updated. I'm still attached to the name, at the least.

I should probably go and study. Or at least, be somewhere besides the campus cafeteria. Whee!

Some ideas, for future reference.

This is what happens when I watch too much Star Trek: Enterprise.

Idea one, for an FFRPG campaign: Uses only non-human races. Essentially a Chrono Trigger type deal, with Humans erased from the timeline; the party must travel through time to prevent the same thing from happening to all races.

Idea two, for a video game (or maybe something else, with tweaking): A history professor is somehow sent back in time, due to a war involving time travel in the future. He has a camera that transforms into objects he takes pictures of. Using that, he has to keep history the way he knows it, stay alive, and figure out a way to get back to his own time.

...Oh, yeah, and this is the first post to this blog in a couple years. I may actually start posting to it again; I'd kind of like to. But if not, I can still use it as a scratchpad.
