Accounting CEO

Observe the title of this post. I will never, EVER, be one of those.  Why, you ask? First off, I hate Accounting. Not in the way I hate English, and everything about it, from writing things the professor already knows is coming to reading stories that have no reletivity to current times. No, I hate it in the way that I spend 6 hours in a night studying it, and still feel like I've not only missed some sort of major point in the lesson, but that I may still fail the test coming on Thursday. 

Now, last time I studied like this, I actually pulled a 90% on the test (an A on the standard grading scale), but that was only after the professor put on a 2 point freebie for a grammar error in one of the questions...that I definitely didn't even notice.  I spent about one entire hour doing a single homework problem for this class, and then at least five more hours reviewing chapter nine, so I could spend tomorrow reviewing chapters 7-9 very thoroughly. 

On a lighter note, thanks to my friend JD_2010 on twitter, I got to view an hour long video of Black Ops multiplayer in action over the internet.  So far, it looks like it will be everything I've imagined and even more.  I have a full understanding of all of the new concepts, as well as a very good picture of what four of the multiplayer maps look like.  I must say, the design on Nuketown, though a small map (which I generally detest the type) looks wonderful. 

Other little marvels that I've discovered in this video that made an extremely good impression on me were the animations of the characters not only from your own first person view, but from the enemy's view (which is what most people see things from so I always wondered why they were overlooked).  When a person drops into last stand, they no longer warp to the ground with a gun, they get noticeably pushed back onto their back from the gun shot, pull out their pistol on the fall and take very painful looking shots back at you.  Another amazing feature I've noticed is the dive to prone...allowing you to make saving dives to survive massive damage, but also slightly nerfing the ability as to not encourage the constant use of it. 

Well, last night i spent about four hours playing Modern Warfare 2 with Travis and his cast of friends, and we did not lose a match.  I believe that, to honor such a great game before it is turned obsolite, I shall do the same again tonight, and for the rest of the week. 

Modern Warfare 2...Goodnight, sweet prince.
