It's not so much English as it is Applied Writing, this project had me researching a vacation in a location randomly given from a list. At first I got Peru but because I hate warm weather and tropical regions (Nordic descendant with years spent on top of cold mountains skiing to the bottom) I tried to trade it for a colder weather region. In my mind I thought everyone would want Peru (Machu Pichu, warm weather, high regional intelligence) but no body would trade me so I had to trade it for what was left: Finland and Argentina. Fat chance I'd pick another tropical destination which is in on the verge of civil disputes with their government, so I picked Finland which wasn't my first choice. But I've learned a lot about the country and it does sound like a country I'd visit for vacation, but only much later in life. I know it seems silly personal prejudice would effect my choices but I have to write three essays and a power point presentation on going to Finland and its easier if I could envision myself actually doing it. Of course I'm being pulled in every direction by my others classes so its just that I have next to no free time and I'm left mentally drained. This post is a rant I admit but it feels good to get this out and create a nice long post. I will try to get back to the RPGs ASAP but until I work off my school back-log I will not be able to.
P.S. I am writing this in class <_<
