My OperaHa, Been Even Longer Now!

Hard to believe it has been nearly a month already now since my last post. School has been keeping me pretty busy. I just have to survive until next week, and then its over. For a while. Just gotta hold it together for two more weeks.
My last post I was writing while I was waiting for a ride home from school. I had been waiting sometime, and wrote quite a bit, and then my ride showed up, and I never got around to finishing it. Today's post is not too dissimilar. I got out of my first class crazy early, and now I have two hours till my next one.
I have spent about the past half hour using RDM+ to Remote Desktop my Playbook to my computer at home. It's a bit slow, but doing simple things is easy enough. I spent a majority of that time messing with fittings for ships on EVE Online with EFT. I had then tried to play EVE Online. I didn't expect to do much, maybe chill and chat with my Alliance, but just logging in was a task of itself. Once I got logged in, it was just too unresponsive to have fun in any capacity. Altho, if I was away from home, I may fight through it to update my Skill Training. RDM+ is nice to get simple stuff done but you won't be playing any games with it.
My last post I was talking about Battlefield 3, I've nearly unlocked everything on that game already. It is pretty fun, but you really need some friends to play with. There seems to be no natural teamwork or cooperation. I recently unlocked the USAS 12 Automatic Shotgun. I loved that thing in Bad Company 2, but I haven't used it enough yet to tell if I love it in this too. My most-kills weapon is still the Mp7. Tanks are my most-kills vehicles. I've unlocked everything for em, and they rock. Use the Smoke for cover when getting shot at, retreating, or repairing, Use the Canister Shell for those helicopters, lowflying aircraft, soft-skinned vehicles, and even infantry, and last but not least, use Reactive Armor to take some hits for you and keep on rolling.
Battlefield 3 can be fun, but I've been a bit too busy for fun. Next week is finals, and I've been pretty busy trying to finish all the work in all my classes. I don't think I'll be having any problems with my Peripherals class, or my Cisco Switching class. I should pass my Small Group Communication class. I have a group presentation on Skype this friday, I hope our group is ready enough. We were supposed to meet and practice and run through it yesterday, however it has been very warm here lately, it melted, and all turned to ice. No one wanted to brave the icy roads. Its frustrating and ironic, that a group that is doing a presentation on Skype is not using Skype to work on the project. I am concerned on the final in this class. So many terms and definitions. I imagine I'm going to be reading that book front to back all weekend and the following week. As for my English class. I can say this much, I will not be failing that class this semester!
EVE Online came out with a new update last week. Shiny graphics and useful UI changes. I've been playing EVE again ever since. Ha, possibly because my Heavy Assault Ship got a slightly new model, and plenty of new textures, and it looks super cool now. I think I've picked that up again and playing it regularly now. They also added a bunch of Tech 2 items, which as the name implies is better than Tech 1. I have new Mining Links for my Industrial Command Ships, so now any fleet mining with me will be able to mine out to a further distance, and do it faster. Still haven't got to try em yet. Maybe I can get an Orca Party together this week.
And that's about all ya missed in a Day in the Life of Jimmy. Been going to school, nearly done. Got finals next week, everything appearson track. Nearly "finished" Battlefield 3, but haven't been playing quite as much. EVE came out with a shiny update, and have been playing that since. Until next time, catch ya later,
