Last night just before midnight, I went with 2 friends to Wal-Mart and picked up the much anticipated game, Half-Life 2. All I can say I wow. Very few games manage to hold my attention for more then a few hours. Half-Life 2 is one of those games. It has Doom 3 graphics, with Far Cry surroundings and as much attention to detail as the original Half-Life. With a break for a good night’s sleep and classes, I have been playing almost continuously since I got my hands on it. The game play is absolutely stunning. If you like computer games, get Half-Life 2.
During one of my few breaks from playing Half-Life 2, I registered for next semester’s classes. I am going to take Math 182 (Calculus II), Computer Science 201 (Program Design with C), Computer Science 221 (Data Structures), Physics 221 (Mechanics) and Economics 101 (Economic Way of Thinking). That’s a total of 18 credits. The university gives everyone a map of every class they need to take if they want to graduate with their chosen degree in four years. I am taking all of the necessary courses plus Computer Science 201 because I really want to learn to program C. So if I become too bogged down, I can always drop that extra course. It should be a pretty good semester, all the classes seem interesting at least.
