Aug. 31, 21: Second Day Back to School, Oculus, and Games

Got a reasonable night’s sleep tonight. Nearly nine hours! I’ll absolutely take it! I did drag a little bit in the afternoon, but I fought through it and didn’t crash.

Yesterday was our first day back to campus in over a year, and I was a bit stressed out to be honest. No problem, though. I got there super early (traffic wasn’t bad), went and checked the rooms and my keycard worked fine. Those were the two things I was most worried about and they went without a hitch.

I do like being back in class and teaching properly, being able to read facial expressions (as much as possible with half their face covered) and get direct interaction is significantly different than zoom, that’s for sure. 😄

I’ve got teaching at ten on Tuesday and Thursday, plus an hour or so drive to get there, so it’s going to be a little rough to get my post done those days. I got the basic structure done and scheduled, got a shower, and that was pretty much the morning.

Drove in to work and had our first Calculus II class. So far, so good. Been a fairly smooth start considering it’s been a year and a half. I don’t have quite as much trouble breathing with the mask on as I’d thought, but it is annoying and I have to keep touching it since it shifts around while I talk.

Traffic was a little rough coming back home, but still back before one, which is a fairly short day. Plenty of time to fire up the computer and get some work done…

So I played Oculus. 😝 There was a new music pack released for Beat Saber today and I didn’t even put up a fight, just got it right away. It’s ok…more dubstep, not my favorite music, but they are good for playing.

My chest is still hurting pretty bad, so I didn’t go crazy hardcore, but played through the first couple songs on expert and a couple on expert+. Some of the later ones are going to be seriously tough on expert+!

That was more or less it for the day. Played Oculus and then we had steaks and potatoes for dinner and watched a movie. It was about the Iraq war, ummmm, Shock and Awe. Had a lot of famous actors in it, but political drama isn’t exactly my genre.

Started watching Knights of Badassdom, which I think I’ve seen before, but it was late, so we turned it off not too long in and went to bed proper.

Shopping Mall got robbed today. DShitty stands for pretty Darn Shitty. The real question is: why do I bother to even pay attention to it? It’s not like it gets any better.

Got two ingredients on CryptoBrewmaster today, but still no bittering hops. 😢 I do have en extra water saved up, though, so that should help later on.

Just did missions today on Rising Star. Starting to get really bored with clicking these buttons…especially with how much a pain in the ass it is to have to physically type out the entire address and then my username every damn time I want to log in. 🤬

I thought I’d waited long enough after the reset to give Splinterlands a go. I was wrong. Complete and utter bullshit maxed out gold rented crap.

Kept losing in and out of Silver, which sucks balls cause then all my cards are crippled.

Just kept losing deeper into Silver, so I rage quit. No rewards for today, just frustration and resentment.

Got my stats for the last week again today. I was surprised, actually, that it wasn’t more red! I’d figured that the week before was like #DoubleDays every day and so this week wouldn’t come close…probably get the hit next week.
