Frustrations and Relief

Frustrations are a part of every day life.  No matter who you are or how happy your outlook on life is, at some point or another, you are going to be frustrated about something and not be able to do anything about it.

That's basically been the story of my life lately.  Between the insanity of Math's derivatives and Chemistry's nonsensical psychosis, I've been getting more and more frustrated as the weeks have passed.

But lately I've found a way to vent all my frustrations in a totally healthy way.

Lately, I've been playing Minecraft.

Now for those of you reading, I want to clarify something.  While my mom says that I'm a "gamer", I wouldn't necessarily classify myself as that.  This is because while I do spend an unhealthy amount of time playing games online, on the wii or just on my computer, I don't play Halo, Call of Duty or other shoot 'em up games.  Those stress me out just way to much.  And trust you me, I have enough stress already.

At any rate, the point of this post isn't to talk about the games that I don't play, but rather to talk about one of the games I do play.  Recently, I've been playing a lot of a game called Minecraft.  Here's a picture of it;

 It's a very interesting game in that it doesn't seem to have much of a point . . . but it does have one upside.  It has a lot of monsters whose butts you can kick and that relieves a lot of tension, frustration and stress.

But Minecraft isn't the only thing that helps relieve stress.  In two days (count 'em TWO), I get to go home.  I am so excited!  I can't wait!

It's going to be fantastic.

And I'll be playing lot's of games the whole week.

Whoo-hoo!
