  1. I'm seeing a doctor who specializes with brain disorders sometime this year, so I'll see how that goes. I could probably start taking ginseng now, but I'll still have to take my medicine, so I'm not sure how that will affect it.
  2. Yeah. I kinda screwed myself over for scheduling because I ended up taking hard classes that add up to 13 hours. And I can't drop them because I'll fall below the limit (my Calclulus class, which is the subject I'm struggling most in, makes up 5 of those 13 hours). I'm going to be balancing out my serious classes with electives next semester because I actually want to enjoy college for once :/ can't do summer classes because those are more expensive and my TOPS and scholarships won't cover them.
  3. Each FE is different, and with the new fans of the series coming in, I'd think it would be great for them to try a little variety. Of course, it'd be hit and miss with some of the older ones. There was a reason they didn't bring back the "fatigue" function from FE5 :/
  4. Ranulf or Lethe. Then we'd make our own cat videos. Here's a fun one. WCWY play the FE series with?
  5. True, though I want to say there's some hope because of the localization changes in Awakening, but that was probably for DLC purposes. One can only hope that it piqued enough interest in the fans to the point that IS will consider it. I have a lot of wishful thinking though...
  6. Maribelle >:D Which character would you share an apartment with?
  7. Not including FE1 and 3, since those were remade. Of course, they'd have to translate all of those games in order to bring them to the West and PAL regions. So, what are the chances of Nintendo and IS bringing the retro FE series to Virtual Console? I'd say low, though if they actually did by some miracle, then I wouldn't mind playing Gaiden, Genealogy, and Thracia 776 without an emulator for once :3
  8. Thanks for the responses guys! They're very encouraging. They always allow you to drop the class if you're not doing well in it. They have a deadline for that though. I've been looking at special diets that I could follow so that my brain stays clear. I've started taking herbs to see if that will have an effect on my brain so I can take less medicine. Also, there may be a slight chance that I have a cognitive deficit from the tremors. They think it's neurological, but I don't know yet. I'm going back for more testing in the future. I've considered part-time as well, because the hours are pretty demanding. Problem is, I'll lose my scholarships and TOPS if I'm not full-time, and right now I can't afford to pay for them. I also live in a dorm because my home is an hour away. That's why I thought about taking the year off to work and get better before going back to school.
  9. I'd rather no children unless the couple's paired ending says, "they were wed and had a son/daughter."
  10. Thanks for the responses, guys. I know I shouldn't care what other people think because it's my life and I do what I want with it, but I've always had that "I have to perform well so people will accept me" mindset. I did talk to my doctor about this, and she tells me "I don't want you to switch your medicine because this one works." And I bring up my problems with school and forgetting things and she says "that's just the medicine. Your body will get used to it." And, define "lighter work load." Last semester I took 18 hours, realized that was too much, so I am taking 13 (12 is the least number of hours where you're considered a full-time student). Most of those hours come from my one math class that I was required to take, which was 5 credit hours. My family and close friends (I have two) are the ones supporting me. It's mostly my extended family who are extremely judgmental and the people who still see me as "that kid who excelled in school" that I'd rather not find out. One of them even came up to me and said, "I wish my son could be like you. He dropped out of college his first year because he was failing his classes." Well, they don't know that that's the route I'm about to take.
  11. Yeah, a 3.2 isn't bad, but it's not going to stay like that at the rate I'm going. Plus I'm in the Honor's Program (even though I'm only taking one honors class, which is weirdly the easiest class I'm taking; I have a high A in there), so if my GPA falls below what I have, they'll kick me out of it. As for the medicine, it's an anticonvulsant because I have really bad tremors. I'm trying to find a way to get off them though, but if my doctor knew that, she'd flip. EDIT: Believe me, I'd like to switch meds, but I don't really have a lot of options because...well, how can I put this...some of the other alternative medicines can be life-threatening for me because my body has trouble filtering toxins. I've been on this medicine for years now, so my doctor doesn't really want to risk switching it. And I have registered with disability services and let my teachers know about my condition.
  12. Hmm...basically everyone except Say'ri and Yen'fay. Lucina is kinda teetering on the fence of whether I like or dislike her. But I can't stand Robin Gangrel, Ricken, Sumia, Kellam, Lissa, Frederick, and the Morgans (mostly the male).
  13. Title pretty much says it all. Basically, I'm on medicine that completely wipes me out and as such, I haven't been able to do well academically since high school. I've changed my study habits so I study everyday instead of cramming, and generally get around 8-9 hours of sleep. But no matter what I do, I always fail my tests. I went from a 3.7 to a 3.2 this past year. I get tutored and use flash cards that I go over until I know the material. Then I take my medicine, and I completely forget everything. I wanna drop out and take the rest of the year off to work, then probably go to a community college, but I'm afraid of what people will think. My family and close friends are supporting me throughout this, and are actually encouraging me to drop out. Thoughts? Comments? Advice? Memories? I kinda wish I had more time to make a decision because scheduling and housing is in two weeks, and I'm still unsure if I'm still going to attend this university in the fall.
  14. I think it would be cool if the player could choose the side they want to fight on. Kind of like in Command and Conquer where you choose to be Russia or the United States.
  15. Hmm...what website are you using? I googled "hunger games simulator" and got multiple results.
  16. Male: I've gotta go with Alm. He's just so adorable. That baby face suits him :3 Female: Celica. Definitely Celica. I mean... C'mon now. How can you say that isn't attractive?
  17. I had to kill Tiki because Bantu died later in the game so I couldn't snap her out of her hypnosis (though Gotoh said she just fell asleep...that was a relief). And I let Caeda die in the beginning of the game of Shadow Dragon...then I had to kill the people who only she could recruit. Then Elice died as soon as Marth reunited with her. Needless to say, Fire Emblem makes me question my reliability in real life :/
  18. So, what color is this dress? http://swiked.tumblr.com/post/112073818575/guys-please-help-me-is-this-dress-white-and
