I think time has officially come to a screeching halt.  Without school to occupy my time, I feel as though every second is taking forever to tick away.  I'm actually finding myself ready to go back to school, but it doesn't even begin for another month.

FFXI is going well.  I've been Lv.75 for a while now, and I got access to several new areas.  The Tavnazian zones are very neat, as is the Aht Urhgan region.  However, Sky has become my new favorite place.  Ru'Aun Gardens is one of the most beautiful places I've seen in the game, and it is all very mysterious.  It's only another week or two before they add personal chocobos to the game.  It will be nice to finally have a mount, and not have to rely on chocobo stables for transportation.

I unlocked the Corsair job, and with the release of Pirates of the Carribean, I've taken new interest in being a pirate/gambler in FFXI.  I really like the job so far, but it is taking some getting used to.  I am not accustomed to playing melee jobs, but I think I am adapting.

Well, I'll update again when I get a chance.
