I have no clue .. I can't stand the wait. I play a lot of Oblivion and [&@%!] .. And also try and dig up as much dirt as I can each day on Skyrim. Also check the Countdown app I have on my iPhone4. xD

I've got a lot of things to keep me occupied, such as university, music, drawing, and I'm reading the Lord Of Souls book. I didn't really think about the game during these months, but now I'm finally feeling the hype :P

I think I'm going to get Morrowind from Gamestop's website. I played it at my cousins house way down in Virginia, but I quit during the class creation. I just couldn't get into it, but after playing Oblivion a lot, I need my next fix of Elder Scrolls so yeah.

Why pick 25 of all levels ?

Surprisingly I kinda forgot about Skyrim until recently. Now I'm like, what, it's already coming out in less than a month? Time sure fly by. I recently stopped shaving, with the autumn in full swing and my increasing beard, you could say I'm just letting things naturally unfold to the release of Skyrim. But anyway, I guess I got tired of being very excited and longing for the game, which is why it's approaching quite fast to me. And it's like the week after all my exams and important projects! It will be hard to focus on the finals though... As if I ever focused on them anyway.

I was holding up pretty well, but just these past few days it's gotten way worse.

School is keeping me busy enough, and I picked up shogun 2 during a steam sale, I'm going to fire it up and hopefully it will keep me happy until skyrim.

It's just a game...

In fact I promised to myself I will complete the Oblivon main story (for the first time) before Skyrim is out. Now I have completed Aid for Bruma, so I'm pretty sure I will do it in time ;-)

I have a thesis to write for my Master's Degree in Geography. Oh, and I have Metro 2033 and S.T.A.L.K.E.R to play.

Heh..I've played Oblivion for 4 years and I finally completed the main quest a couple of months ago.

Don't play any of the TES games. Yes, it will be hard, but for Skyrim, it's worth it.

The witcher was 10 bucks on Steam so I think my waiting will be spent with that

School passes the time. But if you think about it, schools a B word. So i think about Skyrim during the school day and the day goes by quicker! Then i get home and go to work, still thinking about skyrim while making cash. Then when i get home for the rest of the day, I come to the uesp and write about everything i was thinking about during the day.
