I’ve Been Accepted

So around the first or second week of February I had to take an assessment test of sorts for college since I was applying for the fall. Things went okay, though I probably could have done better with my algebra. I hate algebra…

Anyway, I ended up getting my results back and accepted into that college within ten days of writing the tests. Crazy. It was actually about seven or eight, if I remember correctly… So I now have the option of being one of the very first students to attend the new college being built right here in my town. I didn’t expect to hear back so quickly, let alone get accepted in the same timeframe. I have until the end of April to decide officially. I think I’ll probably do it though… I don’t really want to go to school in the first place, but I figure I should have something to fall back on before diving head first into a career. This way I can still live at home, work at Future Shop (it’s only eighteen hours a week, not including homework), and save a lot of cash… If I have to do school, I might as well do it this way.

Then after a two year diploma in business management/marketing (I still haven’t decided which one), I think I’d get a one year graduate certificate in journalism or broadcasting so I have some education in that field too. It keeps my options open. We’ll see though… I’d prefer to do as little of school as possible.

Well, so there is the big news… I’ve known for a little while now, but I didn’t want to just lump it on the bottom of another entry. We’ll see how the story ends in just over a month.

On a completely different note: a parody of The Fray’s How To Save A Life surfaced online last week. It is actually an anti-Playstation 3 song and an amusing one at that. Someone then put some graphics to the song shortly after and uploaded it on YouTube. I’ve embedded it at the bottom with the lyrics… If you are a video gamer, check it out. Funny stuff.

I forgot to mention something in my Barenaked Ladies concert recap… One song that blew me away was their live version of Maybe You’re Right. It’s already awesome enough on their album, but it was amazing live… Very epic. I should have grabbed a video of it, but I was too entranced. ha.

Gosh, I really should write these earlier in the day and not immediately before I go to bed… All motivation fades fasts…

Rock on.

Video of the Moment:

“How to Kill a Brand” by Doc Adams

Step one, You make your console cost the most,
You Beat your chest and proudly Boast,
Despite no good exclusive games
You make a bunch of ridiculous claims,

Then ignore our need to play online
Don’t make it fun like Xbox Live
Use Blue Ray, Which I don’t need
Now you’re getting your ass kicked by the Wii

Sony, you went wrong, with your PS3
I’ll just keep playing my 360
Hope this song has helped, you understand
Now you know, How You Killed Your Brand.

Phil Harrison yeah you know best
Except you didn’t Beta Test
Sure I can surf the net
But I can’t find my Gaming Friends

You Say Halo 3 Don’t worry you
Instead you offer Killzone 2
But Killzone 1 sucked before
So what made you think we wanted more?

Repeat Chorus..
