zen_monk Finished my first school year at big pants university, and final grades are a good solid straight B's. Totally kinda expected it, though I did thought that I could get an A- in that one Lit class, but oh well.
And after one week of summer break, SUMMER SESSION.
Two five week courses for upper division classes that would normally span a whole 10 week quarter. Living on-campus for that, tho, and my dorm room is a vast improvement over what I suffered a year through. High ceiling, sharing one roommate, and a lot more floor space. Had to share a bathroom with a whole corridor of people, in a fairly unsafe-feeling public restroom thing with curtain showers. Still, it's actually pretty nice.
Roommate is also a lovely person, sharing nearly all of my fannish glee and critique, and really what more could you ask of a roommate if she can talk about fandom and shipping really eloquently while being a Bio major struggling over Orgo-Chem for five weeks.
Speaking of fannish things, I have successfully completed Mass Effect 1 and 2, playing as paragon Fem!Shep, the most dashing of Asian-preset ladies, and doing more playthroughs as Paragade Shep and ManShep just for getting those relationship stuff. Playing ME2, tho, has made me understand a bit more of the whole DA2 character wheel choice thing, and also feeling the distinction between being either a Paragon/Renegade leader and the Friendship/Rivalry path in DA2. I had assumed that in DA2 doing the Friendship path is part of the leadership choices, because you are aware of how your friends and cohorts react to them, but that's really a different kind of network of influence when in ME you look at a more long-term/short-term goal that expand away from your friends.
Though, one is a space epic, and the other is a fantasy game that looks at a more insular community.

Date: 2014-07-10 09:25 pm (UTC)It's really hard to do Renegade!Shep because it just feels like I'm starting fights for no reason, and maybe making things worse. It's different from Rivalry!Hawke because it's more contained to interpersonal relationships and personality, and not necessarily far-reaching goals and repercussions unless prompted either through neutral or stacked personality points.
But, totally romancing everyone as can be done as Fem!Shep :P. And alas, as Man!Shep.
