One more week left and I will be done with my Associates degree in Psychology. Yay, me!!! I still have my A...woot!
It is a good thing I like school. I start my Bachelors degree on July 19. Only about a week break in between the two. Sheeeesh. I need more WoW time!
So, in the game... My hunter Cabriellä, is now level 84, almost 85. My mage Cabrìella, is level 84 almost 85. My death knight, Deysia, is still level 80. I have a new baby hunter, Cabryella, who is not so much a baby anymore... she is level 54. So my game time has not been too bad lately.
My daughter and I have started leveling a couple of Shaman. My shammy, Issera, is level 47. So is her shammy. It has been fun playing them. I have only had one other shaman and I deleted her at level 20. However, I am having fun right now with this one. We are leveling elemental.
The guild is doing fairly well. I am inviting people to make it grow. Trying to level it to get more experience is tough. The new people are all nice so far. My friend Brutal came from Kirin Tor to join us. He is awesome.
Life is good. Times are tough all over anymore. Friends are rare but loved. Family is close and loved more. Remember your raisin', live each day like it's your last, and love all you can. You will not get another chance! Do not waste your time on things that do not matter. If you have your doubts, then they probably do not matter as much as they should!
:P

School
So, I finish my Associate's degree in Psychology in July. Hopefully, graduating with my 4.0 gpa. I will know more about that gpa after I am done with these math courses. I have around 13 more weeks on them. My last two classes are psychology and business management.
I have been contacted by my academic advisors about continuing on with my Bachelor's degree. I will be talking to them over the next few days and finding out all the pertinent information. If all goes well, I will continue on with my degree. I will know more about all that later.
In the game... I am working slowly on leveling my gnome mage to 71. She is almost there. I am also leveling a dwarf mage on Kirin Tor. She is 41. She is being leveled with my daughters' priest. We are leveling strictly in dungeons mostly. Yeh, I know, I hate dungeons. I am however, finding that I like them better. Leveling in them helps me feel more comfortable with them. I think my major thing was doing the dungeons on my hunter.
Now, don't get me wrong, I love my hunter! I just don't like her in dungeons. Heh, but I prefer her in the battlegrounds! LOL I love my mage and my warlock in the dungeons. I am leveling both of them in there. With a few battlegrounds thrown in. Heirlooms have killed the battlegrounds in my opinion. The heirloom wearers should be lumped in with the twinks! I do not mind going in on my twink with the heirloom wearers. But, heirlooms have now replaced the twinks in every bracket. It is annoying to say the least. It is about the pwnage and not the enjoyment of the bg's for most people however.
Life in general is good. Really good. I must say, I can't find anything to complain about and wouldn't want to anyway! Well, it is raining today :( if that counts for complaining!
Have a great weekend!

Life is Funny
It takes all kinds to make the world go around. I meet new people in my classes. Some of them are in college and do not know how to write, speak, or spell correctly. Work gets turned in late. What is the point in going if you are not going to give it your all? You are spending a lot of cash for that degree.
I still have my 4.0 gpa. I hope to keep it. I am taking Algebra right now. I hate math and it doesn't like me very much either! LOL It is going fairly well for now. I have a quiz tomorrow. I hope that goes ok.
What can I do with my Associate of Arts in Psychology degree? I have applied at a mental health group home as manager. I haven't heard back from them yet. Will I be upset if I do not get the job? No, not really. I like being able to focus on my school work.
Speaking of meeting new people...I have been talking to someone from my past. We had a great friendship that never led to anything much. Just wondering if calling him would be a good idea? He gave me his number and asked that I call. Another friend took my number with intentions of calling but never did. Does that change how I feel about him? No, he will always be my friend. :)
Life is funny ... ain't it! hahahahahaha

Wow and Other Fun Things
It has been a while since I last posted. College is keeping me busy and so is the game. It has been a while since I did the battlegrounds and I have been doing those again lately. I do not know what it is about them that I love but I really do love going into the random ones. It beats dungeon running for me. Of course, we all know I hate dungeons!
I did get my death knight to level 80. Then they went and changed her spec to tanking. I don't like dungeons and I certainly do not want to tank! She is still horde and on the Zangarmarsh server. My daughter loves her priest but wanted to get back to the ally side of things. We have come back to Kirin'Tor and I am playing my hunter again. She managed to pick up the Headless Horseman's Reins... yay!
I am also leveling some alts in the battlegrounds. I still have my twink there but the queues never pop. Twinking I guess is dead for now. I hear it may be making a comeback in Cataclysm. Here's hoping on that one.
I have many alts and have been leveling different ones through the battleground. I plan to do some research on Arena teams. That may be a little more than I want to get into in the game though.
All in all, its been fun to start back where we left off on the ally side of things. There are many classes overpowered in the battlgrounds right now. The patch made a big mess of things. I was doing well until then. All of a sudden, rogues one shot you no matter how much life you have. I just go in to die now! LOL I figure Blizzard will get around to fixing everything and the game will be fun in the bg's again. I still have fun, I just die more often than before!

A Trip to the Other Side...
My daughter and I have been playing horde. I have leveled my death knight to 76 and she has leveled her priest to almost 72. We both wanted to experience all we could of the horde side of things before Cataclysm comes out and destroys the entire world of Azeroth. It has been going great so far.
We are now just into Dragonblight and with her heals and my blood spec, we downed a couple elites with just the two of us. The last elite was level 74 which was at the time 3 levels above her. Everything went well right up until we died the first try. The second try with a little more planning we got him. We are trying to get these girls to level 80 and plan to start on leveling something else. We both have quite a few alliance toons but, we both wanted to try out the horde side, and we like it. We think we might end up neglecting our mains, or making these our new mains.
My hunter has been level 80 for what seems like forever. I do not even play her much anymore. I haven't done many dungeons so she is not geared. However, I am thinking I may research tanking on my death knight and give the dungeons a try as a tank. I already have a good healer to go with me. :)

Cataclysm Beta
Everyone is buzzing about beta. Everyone wants in on the fun. I was invited to participate in the beta. Yay! for me. It is great. Everything is changing and mostly for the better. I have some screenshots I will be posting later showing some of the changes I have found and I will post later about leveling in the new starter areas. Everyone else is about leveling new goblins and worgen or visiting the higher leveling areas. Me, I just want to try leveling in the new starter areas with the new quest lines and see how it is. I want to know if its faster leveling, easier to get to certain things that were previously strewn all around the Azerothian map. I will post here soon about my findings.
Psychology and What I Am Learning
In my psychology classes I am learning about myself. I have found out that I am what is known as an introvert. I did some reasearch and found this out about being introverted:
"Contrary to what most people think, an introvert is not simply a person who is shy. In fact, being shy has little to do with being an introvert! Shyness has an element of apprehension, nervousness and anxiety, and while an introvert may also be shy, introversion itself is not shyness. Basically, an introvert is a person who is energized by being alone and whose energy is drained by being around other people.
Introverts are more concerned with the inner world of the mind. They enjoy thinking, exploring their thoughts and feelings. They often avoid social situations because being around people drains their energy. This is true even if they have good social skills. After being with people for any length of time, such as at a party, they need time alone to "recharge."
When introverts want to be alone, it is not, by itself, a sign of depression. It means that they either need to regain their energy from being around people or that they simply want the time to be with their own thoughts. Being with people, even people they like and are comfortable with, can prevent them from their desire to be quietly introspective.
Being introspective, though, does not mean that an introvert never has conversations. However, those conversations are generally about ideas and concepts, not about what they consider the trivial matters of social small talk.
Introverts make up about 60% of the gifted population but only about 25-40% of the general population".
