fry_laser2k3 beta 2 released

Sunday, September 21st, 2003

I just made a few changes to fry_laser2k3 and compiled it for another beta. The changes include:

* Brightened up lower lobby
* Remove battlements entrance

You can download it on the maps page if you’re interested. Also, I’m going to hold a playtest on it to see if it’s more balanced. Hopefully it is.

Campus is big

Thursday, September 4th, 2003

Traffic today went much smoother, but parking was only slightly worse since I had to park in the overflow lot instead of the non-overflow lot. I like that they have had traffic people waving people through stop signs since that speeds it up a lot. Too bad they stopped right as I walked to the crosswalk to get to the parking lot where my car was parked to leave. Campus is huge though. I forgot how large it actually was and my legs have started getting sore from walking all across campus going to the extra classes and finding information about other things. Oh well, I have the weekend to rest them :)

first day of school

Wednesday, September 3rd, 2003

The first day of school has come and gone. So has the second. Parking was much more bearable than I thought it would be, as the parking lot hadn’t filled up by the time I arrived there. Traffic was much worse though. On the first day it took over an hour and a half to get to the parking lot, whereas normally it takes 30-35 minutes. On the second day it still took a little over an hour, but it was caused by a major slowdown nowhere school, and an accident on the bridge going across the American River.

My schedule is kind of messed up right now though. 3 of similar Math classes (I can only take one of the three) are offered this semester. Ideally, I would have my first choice which would be adjacent to the other classes I’m taking, but this class is full and there’s no chance of me getting in. On the first day to register I couldn’t even get in, so I opted to go for the second choice at the time which is a teacher I don’t really want to be in the class with because I don’t really like the teaching style of the professor. The third choice is a class that conflicts with a class I signed up for and is only offered in the Fall. I think I’m going to have to take it next fall with the way things are going unfortunately. I’m also trying to get into a History class, but they’re all full and I lost the lotteries to get into them, so I’ll have to check back in a week. Otherwise I’ll have 12 units and no safety net to drop a class that I don’t like (and I might not like two of my classes because of the public speaking in them). Oh well, hopefully the rest of the semester goes well. It’ll be the first one with nothing on Friday, so I’m happy about that.
