Get Up and Go!

I guess I'm playing this now.

Get Up and Go!
Pokemon

Naturally, I had to get this game. I played some of the other games and loved them, and already a few days into playing and I can honestly say I enjoy this one.

Now some basic tips and info for those who also take up their smartphones searching for adventure:

1. WATCH WHERE YOU ARE GOING! Don't trespass on private property and risk getting shot.

2. Always play with a friend. It's safe and also it makes the game more fun!

3. Don't be afraid to walk! It's good exercise (that we all should've been doing).

4. Servers will be crashing a LOT! This is what happens when a game of this magnitude is just released. Be patient and know it will get better.

5. Your phone will die a lot. The game will be drawing from wifi and data (depending on which you use), as well as tracking GPS, running as a game, and using your camera. That is a lot of work your little smartphone is having to do.

6. BE CAREFUL WHEN NAMING POKEMON! I'll admit, I enjoy naming some things like "Buttsworth" or "Richard Dixon" but please remember that while we are adults, there will be children playing this game too. Try and be respectful.


And that is all I can really write about on the matter, as it is, you know, a few days old. I do highly recommend the game (It is free to download after all), and it provides a neat new way to interact with your environment.


Good luck!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
