FFXIV: Aaaaa so excited!

After much effort and lots of scrimping in FFXIV, I finally had enough gil this morning to purchase land in The Goblet! Finally!

My plot is located at Ward 8 Subdivision, plot 47, on Adamantoise!

There's not a house on it yet because I need about 200,000 more gil before I can build it (I have 45 days or something like that, right?). I was able to save up 2 million in a few days, so 200,000 should be rather easy. Back to running PoTD over and over and over and over. And hopefully I'll have better luck than yesterday. Yesterday I ran PoTD a bunch and not one bag gave me materia to sell...all I got was the stupid confetti things and some replica allagan gear, which doesn't sell quickly or well. And it's not like I'm even getting allagan gear that I'd like to keep and use for glamour some day. No, all I got yesterday was the healer gloves...which I already had three of...

I am so excited that I am driving myself crazy

I would like it to be Tuesday RIGHT NOW. Agh, I want to play Mass Effect: Andromeda so baaaaad!

Yes, I've seen all the bad reviews? Do I care? No. Mass Effect is my favorite game series I have ever played. Wonky animations are not going to stop me from enjoying it! Something would have to be horribly, horribly wrong for it not to make me happy, and from what I've heard, there isn't anything that would fit my criteria of "horribly wrong."

Agh, I just wish I could play it now though! I couldn't do the trial because PS4 didn't do one and I doubt my PC can handle it. And I preordered digitally, so no lucky "hey, your local store is releasing early!" surprises for me! I watched the trial though, and really could not be happier (okay, that's a lie; I would be happier if there was another male Turian romance or a Salarian romance, but I'll settle for Vetra or Jaal, or even Liam, I liked him in the trial).

Well, in the meantime I'll be happily wearing my N7 cardigan and socks, trying to not cave and watch streams of the game, and trying to distract myself by playing other games. Going to try to go to sleep early tonight because if I'm up at midnight there is no way I'll have the willpower to avoid playing. And that would be bad for anyone I interact with tomorrow because I'm a monster on low sleep!

Aaaaaagh

I can't wait for Mass Effect: Andromeda!
It's so close, and yet still so far away!

I don't want to renew my FFXIV subscription when I won't be playing for the full month (although it is so extraordinarily tempting because I really like the new outfit for Little Ladies' Day), so I've been playing WoW again. I leveled up my Hunter to 110 and have been really enjoying Survival.

Other than that, I've been pretty swamped with homework recently. I had the flu a couple weeks ago too, and then vacation last week, which was nice, although I was busy. Visited Concord, Massachusetts to visit the site of the first shots of the Revolution, which was incredibly exciting for me! The park was really pretty as well. 

Whyyyy

Why do we have to skip the Accursed Hoard stuff on floors 51-60 of PoTD all the time? WHY?
I use the Intuition poms whenever we get one (and there's not already one up), but half the time my group outright ignores them. Like, it says there's one on the floor and we do not go looking for it. Why?

I get we're all here for grinding and getting it done as fast as possible, but taking a couple minutes out of your time for the Accursed Hoard is really a good trade off. They're the sole source of joy from so much mindless grinding! And you get nice things! I want replica Allagan sets! And the rest of the time you really just get Materia, which you can sell on the MB and make a ton of money (I made 1 mil this week just off Materia I got in bags, so...).

It hurts my heart every time I've been outvoted and we all leave the floor while there's an Accursed Hoard up...

I've been playing FFXIV! *Screenshot heavy*

I've been playing FFXIV again! Whoohooooooooo

I thought I'd share some screenshots of things I've accomplished thus far (in the game)!

I don't have a screenshot for it, but I did finally get in a guild and they're so nice!



This is a new Miqo'te alt I made in honor of my beloved cat, who sadly passed away right before New Years.

I've spent waaaay too much time in Palace of the Dead!

I got Bard to level 50!

I'm learning to tank!

I'm learning PvP (need that Garo healing set...)!

I got that pretty PvP dress! Oh, and Yomi got a new hairstyle too!

I splurged on some glamour!

I still exist!

I don't really have much time to play MMOs at this point in time, sadly. I'm still very much adjusting to being in school.

Class is going very, very well. Finally something feels right subject-wise. Next week is my last week of this class before I move onto the next one (I'm taking accelerated courses), and my advisor recommends another history class instead of a gen ed right now, so that's all the better for me! Crossing my fingers for a class on early America next!

I've been playing the new Pokemon game in my spare time though, of course!

Er, well, I was, until my DS decided to break a couple days ago. Just randomly shut off and wouldn't turn back on reliably. Appears to be an issue with opening it all the way, since it will run fine if I don't open the DS all the way. It still works technically, but it stresses me out. I just know that I'll find a shiny or something, get excited, my screen will pop all the way back and then poof! No shiny for Jenna!

Aaand of course every single store around me is sold out because of Black Friday! Well, unless I wanted a 3DS XL, but I'm not in the market for an expensive DS right now. I honestly just want a preowned 2DS or original 3DS since the only game I own is Pokemon Sun (my little bag of DS games went missing a few months ago, so Sun is the only game I own for it now).


But anyway, school is going great! The sheer amount of work I have is kind of crazy, but at least I feel productive for once! I finally feel comfortable with my choice, which is a rather new feeling for me, but it's good. I feel like I'm out of the fog I've been in since leaving animation school :)

History is more important than ever right now.
