Happy (belated) New Years to you and your family as well.
That's interesting. A lot of games usually time the in-game settings to your real-world settings. I don't own the game though (still don't have a functional DS). Rowlett is a good choice - it's what I would have picked.
Well that is certainly a mixed bag! Kids by nature get sick easily (gotta build up the immune system over time), but at least he got to experience the New Year. It sounds like everything else is going well for you.
Yeah, I saw a brief amount of fireworks from my bedroom window around midnight, but I'm sure if I drove to Detroit, there probably would have been an actual show. I watched the NYC ball drop, as I normally do.
Me? Same old really. Spent some time with family over the holidays (well I live at home but extended family). Now it's back to work and waiting to hear back from schools. I think later this week or maybe early next week I just want 'restart' everything. Clean up all my stuff, clean up my personal and professional inboxes, start to eat healthily (too much junk food over the holidays) and begin working out again (every time it becomes too cold to play tennis I just stop doing so, but luckily we're getting a treadmill), reevaluate where I am, and go from there. I feel the last half year it's just been a rush to get one thing done and onto to the next and no time to sit and plan and reflect. I'm approaching the age where the whole post-college-figuring-out-your-life phase is over. I'm confident in myself that all will work out and by August I'll be in med school, but before then, want to make sure I won't stumble into it.
That's a lot of time. Do you think something might be wrong with the DS or the game, or is that expected? I got a laptop recently, and the expected battery life is worse than what is expected, but I'm just so lazy to ship it back even though I probably should while I still have the warranty on it.
