games

My friends and I have
devised a pretty interesting, new way of staying in touch over the
summer.  We are all big fans of video and computer games. 
I am usually the last on in the pack to find out about any games though
so I am always at sort of a disadvantage because I am so busy during
the semester.  The honors college gives you very little free
time to be yourself while trying to be a great student. 
During the year I pick up everything when they have already beaten the
game and don't ever want to play it again. Now that we are right in the
middle of summer and I am not going anywhere but everyone else has, the
amount of activities left here has dropped to next to
nothing.  Before everyone left we all really got in to a few
particular multiplayer games

which can be played over a network.  The week before everyone
was leaving we all set up a network that is totally exclusive to the
six of us.  Now at almost any hour of the day one or more of
us is on and for the first time I am really part of this whole video
game thing as it is developing.  Once a week we all get on and
just go crazy for a few hours.  Our team scores are being
registered on the network so that we can see who wins at the end of the
summer. With only about two weeks in to the summer I am already vastly
behind everyone else.  I love video games and playing over the
internet is really cool, but I am just not cut out for any kind of
game.  I am the only one who had to stay behind because i have
one class this summer. As of now that and grocery shopping are the only
two things that really get me out of my apartment.  I don't
know what I would do if I didn't have these guys there to play
with.  I might have spent the whole summer outside or
swimming.  I know it sounds crazy to me too.
