It’s Mario Time!
Go play Super Mario Run. Just do. It’s amazing. I loved it. It’s mostly nostalgia fun (I’m old, remember?) but it’s fun nevertheless. Then you realise it won’t work offline and that boss battles are sucky. But hurray! Nostalgia for when you’re not old enough to be nostalgic!
In other news, it’s just 9 days to Christmas. I’m done with my prelim orals, and my prelims begin January 3rd. So I don’t have a lot on my plate as of now. I’m supposed to study, but as a procrastinator extraordinaire, I can’t. My brain says economics but my heart says Super Mario Run. That’s what the organ conversation has been this afternoon.
I find that things slow down considerably around December of an academic year that ends with State Tests. December of 10th or 12th grade is like the slow upward roll of a roller coaster. January is the sudden steep high speed fall. And New Year’s Eve is that awkward moment you’re dang in the middle of both. But I quite enjoy roller coasters, and even though it seems the metaphor I used for this academic year is sure to end in a crash, I’ll make it out alive.
This ain’t my first state test rodeo. It’s my second, and I still hate it with all my heart.
Wonderful time of the year, my ass.
Cheerio.
Tis, mate was the Weekly Email Blast, email 91. Happy weekend !!!
