a slight delay in plans

[arise]

I deferred from my uni course today. In some ways, it was a snap decision, but I've been worried about my ability to continue for awhile. Besides, now I can wait for the results from my first degree to come through, and look at a few different Masters programs. Or even take some extra time and do post-grad for my BA. Either way, it's nice not to feel like I'm working to such a deadline. I feel kinda bad, like I've given up, but it's really the most sensible option right now.

I'm honestly a bit worried about my physical state, though. idk, I feel so drained all the time, I keep getting random hot flushes and dizziness, blurred/black spots in vision, weird symptoms like that. I've got a hospital appointment on Thursday, so I guess I'll get it checked out then.

In FE playthrough news, sadly lost Mia in Chapter 24, and Boyd just now in Chapter 26, both to freak criticals. Such is life, I suppose. We're almost there! Our Rhys is seriously fantastic - I've never had much luck with him before, but this Rhys turned out pretty amazing.

Going to start on Mass Effect 3 soon, given that I don't have much else to do with my time. Should be fun! :D

Taking a uni course with a slightly senile professor while you're in the last stages of pregnancy is no small thing. Take care of your health!

No-reset playthroughs make you appreciate freak luck so much. Of course, in my playthrough Rhys had 6 speed at level 15 or so....

Yeah, I think taking it easy is definitely going to be for the best!

God yeah. All those 4% Criticals that Gatrie keeps getting are a freaking godsend! And that's what my Rhys usually looks like - this was (sadly past tense) a truly unique one. Wish I'd gotten a photo of him before Wyvern Lord #273 intervened.

Oh gosh. That is truly an event that brings forth deep sadness. :(

12 Defence, 18 Speed. He was so beautiful.

asfkl, I hate freak criticals. I usually try to line up units to avoid critical weapons or units who will critical, but sometimes that's not possible. RNG is cruel, sometimes.

I've used Rhys occasionally but I always end up benching him nearer to the end of both games (just how the magic users weigh in, really). Him and Mist are usually both as good as each other, Mist just ends up being the more useful all round. XD

Yeah DX Was playing last chapter and had a Gatrie on full health fall to another General who had a 1% crit chance. Controller-hurling stuff DX

I usually use Mist, but in this case she'd died much earlier on (due to my foolishness), and replacement Rhys was actually turning out pretty great. Elincia + Amiti kinda trumps 'em both in the end (in 9, at least), it's too bad you don't get her for so long!
