This is going to be a short entry.

Today at work it felt like I mainly made word searches. I lost count of how many I made but it was a lot. I worked on those when I didn't have classes in the lab. I was joking about the crosswords with the second grade teacher who I originally started making them for, and ended making an impossible one for her so she can mess with kids or our coworkers. After generating it I went through and changed one letter in all the words except for the word 'nonsense'. So people may think they have found a word from the list but will then be disappointed. I was bored. And I imagine I will be bored again tomorrow because most of the classes will probably be having their class parties instead of coming to the lab.

When I got in my car after work the low tire pressure light came on in my car. I went home and texted my dad to see when he was free so I could use his air compressor. I used to go to the gas station but then all of them started charging for air. I headed over to his house and my sister was there so we all sat and talked for a little bit. Then my brother got home from work and my dad ended up having him go out and run the air compressor. Only one tire was really low and two others were a couple pounds under. After that we sat around and talked for awhile longer until I had to leave to go eat dinner.

After dinner I spent the rest of my night watching YouTube videos and playing Tera. I had planned on putting the Batman owl cross stitch in a hoop before dinner but because of the tire thing that didn't happen. And I wasn't in the mood to do it after dinner. I wanted to play Tera. I killed a bunch of things and leveled up a couple times. I wanted to finish one more quest but in the middle of it I got killed by a random player. I then made the mistake of immediately respawning. You can get scrolls that allow you to respawn where you died or you can just respawn in the nearest town. I should have waited until they got bored and left but I didn't and got killed again. The cooldown on the respawn scroll is an hour and you automatically get spawned in the nearest town after thirty minutes. So I was screwed. After killing me a second time the player sat down on my corpse. I guess that is the equivalent of teabagging in Tera. I think you lose a little XP when killed by another player, and maybe a crystal on a weapon or armor breaks, but you don't lose your whole inventory, so it really doesn't seem too bad.

Now I am going to go to bed because I am tired and sleep sounds very appealing to me right now. Tomorrow is the last day of work before our two week winter break. I am excited to be lazy for a little while. No school or work obligations will be really nice.
