Of Headless Horsmen and other things...

I have been playing the game a little more than before. I am playing more on the Kirin Tor realm instead of Nazgrel. I am leveling some of my alts. I started leveling my paladin (Cayelia). She was level 59 and is now level 63. My daughter is leveling her priest (Priestleigh). She mentioned that she wanted to level our Death Knights on Kirin Tor. The DK I was leveling earlier is on Nazgrel. We decided to level my DK (Tinette) with her priest and her DK (Elvira) with my paladin. My DK is level 60 her priest is level 62. Her DK is level 59 my paladin is level 63. I think it will work out pretty well with this combo.

I am still doing the school thing. I have straight A's in my classes. Guess I am not so stupid after all. :) When I am done, I will have a degree and will be able to find a decent paying job. I am finding I am enjoying school very much. It feels good to my brain to work hard and grow, even after all these years. My daughter is taking Criminal Justice and she is also making straight A's. I am very proud of her.

My camping time is over for this year. We had to close up and winterize the camper for the winter. I love going up there. It is so peaceful and beautiful. I cannot wait until May to go back.

Thanksgiving is soon upon us and I have much to be thankful for. I have love-from my family. I have health. I am happy. Christmas will also be here soon. I have winter break from school from 12/21 until 1/4. I see more game time in my future!

I do not know when the expansion will come out. There are going to be some major changes in the game when it does. I hope it is not too drastic, but I think with the starting areas being torn asunder it will be. It will be like playing a new game entirely though, and that could be nice.

I want to get my alts leveled and will be working on that as much as possible.

Camaryn has had her name changed back to Cabriella. It is just a pretty name and I like it. She has been camping out in the Scarlet Monastery and running Headless Horseman runs every night. We have a good, solid group to run it with. Once in a while, we have to find a fill in for someone who could not make it that night. So far, it has been fun. Cabriella has only run this once last year and we died doing it. This year we have done well.

I hope to get our guild into more dungeons later this coming year. She needs some gear. I hate dungeons but am slowly getting more comfortable running them. Our guild is great and works well together. I look forward to them clearing all that we can in the upcoming year!

Not Much Game Time

With school keeping me busy, I am not having much time to play. I don't mind, I just miss it. I have been on the game long enough to do some brewfest things and got my little pink elekk pet.

School is still going great. I still have 100% in all my classes so that is a good thing. It really isn't as hard as I expected. Yay! Unfortunately, I have another big project due so I have been busy on that.

I got my hair cut today. REALLY short. I love it! It feels so good. I am putting a new picture up.

Hopefully some this week I will get to play more. I hear the new expansion may be coming out quicker than we expected. I don't know if I am excited about that or not. Destroying Azeroth to add new stuff and changing the starter areas will make for a totally new game all the way around but, I am not sure I like that idea. I like the old world like it is. I have been taking alot of screenshots to compare areas after the destruction is complete. So, we will see.

Brewfest

I signed onto the game on Sunday for the first time in over a week. I participated in the Brewfest activities. I am not a drinking person myself; to run around with those goggles on your head that simulate being inebriated was funny. I did the wolpertinger quest and got my little wolpertinger pet. I have to do a few more quests to get enough tickets to get the little pink elekk. It's too funny to see the little pink elephant looking things running around when you have had too much to drink. What you can do in this game, at any time, still amazes me.

School has kept me busy the last week. I had a major assignment due this past week and spent my time working on that and making sure everything was just right. I still have 100% in both of my classes and I do not want that to change. I am loving school more every day. It is the challenge that I have been needing for some time now. I was afraid my age would keep me from actually liking school again, but I am not finding that at all. It is great! I am thinking that going on to my Bachelor's degree and then my Master's might not be as bad as I suspected at first. Time permitting and life as well, I see a Doctorate in my future. :) My teachers think I have chosen the perfect course of learning for myself. So that at least is a plus. I have a lot of time and I can spend it learning if nothing else!

I need to level my girls some more on the game but as long as school keeps me busy, the game will take second place to that. I am not complaining at all. I really am having fun... so far. :)

More Adventures In The Game

I have gotten my death knight almost to level 71. I haven't played her that much this past week. I have been playing and leveling a new Cabriella. Instead of moving over Camaryn from Kirin Tor, I decided to start over with a new baby night elf hunter and do with her from the beginning what I didn't do with the original Cabriella. I will not be leveling enchanting that is for certain. I am also leveling a baby gnome mage along with her named Tikatee. They currently reside in the inn in Stormwind and are both at level 28. It is really fun and I am taking lots of screenshots to preserve the memories of leveling in Azeroth now as opposed to when the destructiveness of Cataclysm hits and destroys all the lands as we now know them.

I will be making a human hunter and a worgen hunter when they become available. I am in no hurry though. I may even try the goblin race on the horde side. I do not plan to do any faction changes at the moment. I may do a race change when that comes available. Not sure on whom :)

School is going great. I have 100% in all my classes for the last two weeks. I am going into my third week this week. It is really something I am enjoying.

Last night I played on Nazgrel with Sinnadyn. He played his druid (Layzerface) and I played another toon I am leveling Farrah (Draenei Hunter). We played around Astranaar for a couple hours and I gained almost two whole levels. She is now almost level 26. It was most enjoyable.

I have become the proud owner of a guild. I was on Cabriella leveling and someone invited her to their guild. I said sure why not. As soon as I joined I was promoted to guild master and the dude left the guild after saying C-Ya. I had to laugh and then I got to work on seeing what was what with that guild. I have about 9 members that haven't been on in nine months and they were immediately demoted to starter ranks. I opened a guild bank tab and ran some dungeons to fill it and opened a second one and it is now almost filled. I put all my alts in the guild, my daughters alts in the guild and some of my old guildies alts are now in the guild. It's like coming home. The guild name is Crafted Heros. We have a bright purple tabard. It's great! And it isn't a bad name really. Lol :) So once again, Cabriella's Corner now has a Cabriella toon that it can once again stand for. Grats to myself on moving on and letting bygones be bygones. I am a happy little night elf! :P

School and Gaming

Well, my first week of school is over and I am now starting into my second week. Grades came out today for last week. I have 100% on all my grades in all my classes. I am so happy. I was hoping game time wouldn't impact school to the point I couldn't play much. I am happy to say that didn't happen and I did really well.

In the game, I got my Death Knight to level 70. She went to Northrend and quested in Valiance Keep, a couple other places, also the airstrip area(which I hate) and has now been parked in the inn waiting to go to Amber Ledge. I am finding I love playing her and that is saying alot. I didn't think I would ever like playing a Death Knight this much. I still love my hunter and mage though, so no plans to make her my main.

Off to do the homework thing and then to bed for early classes tomorrow.

First Week of School

This has been my first week of school and it has been absolutely great. I never imagined I could like school as an adult as much as I did while I was a child. In less than 20 months I will have my Associate's degree in Psychology.

In the game, I am leveling my Death Knight. Her name is Cayelia. She is already level 66 and questing in Nagrand. I respecced her Blood and found a good rotation and she never loses much life, unless I pull too many mobs that is. One on one she is great. I am loving playing her alot more now than I did before. I even made enough gold to purchase her flying mount. Camaryn, my main is on a different realm and I didn't have her funding to buy the mount. I had to earn it on my own. Camaryn is on the realm Kirin Tor and my friends are wanting me to move her back to Nazgrel and join their raiding guild. I am not a raider. I am not sure how I would do in a raiding guild. I love my alts too much. It was sweet of them to even ask the guild to let me in and I promised them I would think about it. If I move her back, I am renaming her back to Cabriella. I changed her name when I moved her to the other realm but am now ready to go back to the name she originally started with. It was personal reasons that I changed her name but those reasons no longer matter anymore. Let's just say I got over it and am moving on.

Well I have done it now....

I enrolled in college full time. I am excited about this move in my life. I will have an Associate of Arts in Psychology degree in about 20 months and then it will be on to my Bachelors degree. I start classes August 24, 2009. I also got my hair cut even shorter and also changed it to strawberry blonde in color. I love the cut, but am not crazy about the color.

As for Wow, I have been leveling some of my alts a bit and trying to get rid of some of those low level ones that I have strewn across many realms. I do not know how I got so many. I need to level my mage on up to level 80. She is currently at level 65.
I also have to work on her tailoring and on Camaryn's enchanting. Both are high in level on their professions but not maxed out.

I am trying to find time to play more and now with school I will have to get myself a routine going. I think it will be worth it :)
