The times they are a'changing

So Azeroth has been completely transformed. Patches are being released weekly by Blizzard and next Tuesday is the big D-day as in Cataclysm will be released in stores! So excited.
Finally started playing with my Wii again... though I was just playing Paper Mario that I downloaded through the Wii marketplace, I'm so retro lol. Now just got to get the boyfriend to get the Playstation 3 out of its box and hooked up. I want to get LittleBigPlanet!

Cataclysmic Destruction

The latest patch was released for World of Warcraft on Tuesday and with it the Cataclysm has begun in Azeroth. Major destruction and rebuilding has taken place. The world as we knew it has completely shifted. Some changes are awesome and appreciated. Like my new Troll Druid which I am loving since I have always wanted to play a Druid but have no real fondness for either Tauren or Night Elves. Some changes are odd, like the lush green Western Plaguelands, and some still need time to grow on me, pretty much the entire map being altered... It really does make the game entirely new again which is appreciated when you have been playing the same game on and off for over five years. Change is a good thing, it keeps life from getting stale. Two more weeks until Cataclysm is in stores, so can't wait for the next big surprises.

Hectic Weekend Ahead

This weekend is going to be insane. I am working tonight from 4p-10p followed by my on campus club: The Japanese Pop Culture's Society's Bronc Buffet (think midnight breakfast but with junk food and carnival like events) which I am helping run (aka won't be going to bed until after 2a). Tomorrow I am doing some Hanukkah shopping followed by Dungeons and Dragons with my friends at 1p, and then I am going to go see the first installment of the seventh Harry Potter movie for free with my school! On Sunday I am going to go see Megamind and hopefully get all of my homework done at some point. I need to finish designing my personal website for my Multimedia Design class, design a CD cover, and label for my Advanced Publication Design class, plus I have to finish ch 7 and 8 for my math class. If I don't lose my mind this weekend it will be a mini miracle.
In video game news my boyfriend finally got his human warlock to lvl 80 today! Which gives him four weeks to get himself geared before Cataclysm comes out.

New Patch

Another World of Warcraft patch was released today. This lead to much high pitched screeching on my part. I can not believe we are less than a month away from the release of Cataclysm! I am super excited. The new patch according to Blizzard's website "will pave the way for the shattering of Azeroth shortly before the release of World of Warcraft: Cataclysm on December 7." Most of the patch appears to be bug fixes but that is not exactly a bad thing. I can not wait to play tonight... once I finish all of the other things I need to do first of course. ;) 

I have definitely been keeping busy. With the end of the semester four weeks away it seems like I have no shortage of work to do. On the bright side my portfolio finally seems to be coming together, and really is something that I can be proud of. The future seems closer and closer, but for once I feel like I am finally ready to face it head on.

Things are happening to me...

So this past weekend was AnimeUSA and it was awesome. I enjoyed myself much more than I did last year. It was definitely a welcomed vacation away from all of the hustle and bustle of college life.
In other news I may have gotten myself an internship. I have to do a trial run first but if all goes well this will be a great boost for my resume and portfolio. It seems like I am finally being given a chance. The future is mine to take.

The journey to 80

Last night I reached lvl 80 with my gnome rogue in World of Warcraft. It might not seem like a big deal, or really all that important in the grand scheme of things, but to me it was a huge deal. Reaching lvl 80 was the culmination of seven months of work and over five years of on and off play. I never thought I would be able to get any of my toons all the way to 80 and truthfully I am very proud of myself. Kittkat the Explorer is now lvl 80 and just in time for next month's release of Cataclysm.

Quick update

I am lvl 79! So close to 80 I can almost taste it! I am so excited at the idea of my first 80 toon in WoW... it's kinda sad really I've been playing WoW on and off since 2005 and I'm just finally beginning to play consistently enough with the same character to get it to lvl 80.
In real life news I am going to AnimeUSA this weekend where I will be cosplaying as Kaylee from Firefly/Serenity, and as Mario with my roommate who will be Luigi. I'll post a few pics next week. Also I have an interview for a possible internship on Tuesday with a graphic/web design company. Totally nervous about that. Just going to pray for some good vibes to be sent my way.
