Well personally people, even though this bog was intended to be for FFXI, I don't feel that writing only about FFXI would be satisfying enough for me anymore, and i'm sure others may feel the same way. So i'll try doing a bit of both FFXI and Real Life stories in my blog. As for my FFXI job reviews? yeah, you probably guessed that I gave up after giving Blue Mage so much praise.
Anywho, its been a LONG TIME since I wrote in here, so i'm going to write a short list of things I have done within this time in both FFXI and Real life.
In FFXI, I have:
- Obtained a pair of Byakko's Haidate
- Gained access to Nyzul Isle floor 100 and unlocked all mythic weapon skills for my 75 jobs
- Obtained 75 DRG
- Merited the crap out of said job
- Finally gotten around to capping critical hit ratio (it was level 3 for a long time :))
- Obtained a few bits of Nyzul gear
- Completely finished off Blue Mage in terms of merits
- Still hate RDM out of my 4 Jobs
- Still havn't leveled DRK sub :)
- Laze around in whitegate more than I did before
Well, that was quite a list, though i'm sure theres more than that, but at this time of night? I can't be bothered.
As for real life?:
- Hung out with my friends more.
- Gone clubbing for the first time, ever.
- Seen said friends get drunk and laugh my face off.
- Realised that it takes waaay too much alchohol to even get me tipsy.
- Dedicated 5 entire weeks of my life editing my final projects for FDSC DVBP.
- Passed said course and now have a long 4 month break untill the second year.
- Thinking of a short film idea for year 2 (feedback would be handy! :))
- Realised that Jon Laude is just made of sheer win. Especially when hes drunk.
- Still can't decide whether women are truly worth pursuing or not.
- Had 20th birthday, and still feel exactly the same as I did back when I was 19.
- Bought Star Ocean: The Last Hope for my xbox and completely geeked it up.
- Stopped talking to Sam again because hes acting like a prick uneccessarily, again.
- Gotten a bit closer to some of my other friends.
I believe the first and last points are the points that I feel the most accomplished with. I never really was invited to do things with other people back in the school days. University has changed me so much, for the better, in terms of experiencing new surroundings and possibly being able to mingle, though I CAN mingle, I tend not to.
As for filming? I'm glad i've started taking an interest in it. I've always said to my friends and family that:
"If you enjoy what you're doing in education, you'll do well"
And my theory has finally been proven, due to slightly more perseverance and also my friends. They've made it possible for me to prove my quote. Wheres the fun in doing a HE course if nobody will talk to you or hang out with you? Of course you can pass, but i'm certain you wont enjoy it as much.
Back in collage, I used to think when my teacher said "you need a study buddy in University", I thought it was funny and slightly cheesy, but now actually doing Uni myself, it has made me realise how important this actually is.
Ever since I heard this saying, that i'll NEVER EVER forget. If anyone who is reading this loses their confidence at some point, remember this:
"The world ends with you"
Nothing will happen unless you MAKE it happen. Expand, broaden your horizons, and you'll see your path more clearly.
