Hey, Look, School! And NaNoWriMo is on the Horizon!

I'm sorry I haven't written anything, I've still been distracted and stressing about school. I'm behind, can you imagine? Because I can!! I still have 2 modules to finish from last term, and 2 of the 5 this term have arrived. The last few should be arriving today or tomorrow and I'm actually going to try and stick to the suggested study about a week.
This certificate, to me, feel silly to me. With modules like, "How to Operate a Personal Computer" and "Use, Communicate and Search Securely on the Internet" I feel like I just want to skip it all. There was a thing on groups and some 'basic' math, which was interesting. I got through all of the math stuff in about 2 days, about 2 or so hours each day. There is an introduction type module, about women in the workforce, I think it is, the beginning of it just felt.. WHY?! It came across as being that counselor that says, "You are a special and unique snowflake, You can do anything, because you are different and amazing and special!" And I just hate people/things like that.

I was bored yesterday and I
felt like making a cover,
since I noticed you could add
one on the NaNo site so...
Also on a different note, I'm going to attempt NaNoWriMo this year, I've don't a tiny amount of planning. To the point of, I know the basic concept of what I am doing. I'm going to do a Doctor who / Minecraft fan fiction. I feel it's easy enough, I have a pre-made world, pre-made, but flexible, character, and the world is amazing open so anything can happen. I'm only really aiming for 20k to 25k words this year, because it is my first year of actually writing. But I'll see how I juggle writing 500 to 1000 words day with school work.

REVIEW : Beyond Gravity | Game


Recently, I was fortunate enough to have same some spending money, which never happens. One of the first things I did was to look on Steam for any games that were on special that might interest me. Beyond Gravity was one of those games on special, selling for $0.99 USD and was a few hours away from going back to it's normal price of $1.99 USD, so I instantly bought it because it reminded me of a free game on Miniclip.com that I did enjoy. So I didn't mind paying a little bit for it.

Beyond Gravity is a VERY simple, one button, take no time at all, causal game that belongs on mobile phone and tablets, and not really on a computer. I've currently played a bit over 2.5 hours so far and unlocked 34 of the 40 available achievements. I do plan on unlocking all of them, and I expect that it won't take much longer.
But as I said, this really is, what I like to think, as a very causal game.

It looks nice, the art style is cute and fun, the music sounds fitting and is relaxing. The game is simple, and entertaining for a good 5 to 10 minutes. I would recommend this game, but only in small bursts, mainly because it is repetitive. You're click to jump from planet to planet, collecting cogs and screws, which you can trade in for things, including a triple jump, a faster jump, and being able to pull in cogs and screws in from further away.
My review on the Steam site about the game.

Beyond Gravity is available to buy in the links below:

Sorry For No Posts, Future Posts Will Be Scarce

I know I'm meant to be posting Wednesdays and maybe on Sundays, but I just haven't been able to blog because I've been distracted, but for a good-ish reason, a reasonable reason.
This reason of why I can't write for you is: SCHOOL! On late Saturday night, 30th August 2014, I was looking through my work to see what module/topic/subject I should do next. I was looking at one of the sheets and I noticed that I had to finish a subject on the 3rd. Now that I think of it, I'm not sure if it was the 3rd of September, which I think it was and why I was busy, or the 3rd of October, which is next month. But I hadn't started this subject yet and I needed to finish it in about 3 or so day, so I did.

That's basically why I didn't  blog on those two days, I was trying to shove down school work so I could hand it in. But I have about 3 and a half weeks to finish 3 more subjects, then it'll be a term break so, this is just a warning to let you know I may not be able to blog for a little. I will still try to though!

I'm doing my Cert. II externally (at home) meaning I don't have to go in to a TAFE SA campus to attend classes, I get all of my work sent to my house. I have, I think, about 3 and a half weeks to finish 3 more modules.

No Blog on Sunday

I'm sorry so say, there isn't a blog today. Apart from this one telling you there isn't one. Make total sense. But I started writing a post up a day or so ago and it's taking a bit longer then I thought, so it'll be posted on Wednesday. It'll be about my favourite movies and why I like them. I may split it into two parts, I'm not sure. We'll see how long it is come Wednesday!

Sorry for no post, keep drinking that coffee~
