Studying for my test.
Doing homework?
I've made the very sad decision that I won't be buying civ 3 for a while. Other things are more important.

You'll actually get the game at the same time the rest of us Americans do, in the far ends of Earth known as Montana?

I will call my wife from work around noon to make sure she has picked up the game, then start thinking up lame excuses to leave work early.
Once home, I'll load the game, play a bit, then I'm in charge of the kids until bedtime. Once they're in bed, it's just me and Civ3 the rest of the night (with a brief pause when my wife gets home later).

Assuming Best Buy won't release the game until Wednesday. [I have called three times there in two days and I have got three different release dates all in sequential order, Oct. 29, Oct. 30, & Oct. 31  ]
I will be ditching school on Wednesday for sure. I have had good attendance so far this year, plus my grades are always good, so I can afford missing one day. Tuesday night I'll do the usual and then go to bed early (8ish) and wake up fairly late on Wednesday (9ish). Getting all this rest will prepare me for my few hours of rest I'll get on Wednesday. That morning, on Tuesday, I'll be the first one in the door at Best Buy (10 am). Immediately I'll run over the PC game section of the store. When I arrive at the location of my seeking I'll give out a loud shout of joy. For Civ3 will be sitting oh so nicely on the shelf for my grubby, little hands to pick it up. After paying for the game (yes I'll remember to pay even after touching the Civ3 box) and driving home, my feet will run like no other as I enter my house darting towards my PC. Again I'll let out a loud shout of joy, then install the game, while continously moving my legs because of ancyness. Next I'll click on my desktop icon of Civ3 very excitedly. Watch the marvelous preview of the game and let out another shout of joy. Then for the rest of the day I'll only speak of two words "ah awesome". As I indulge myself in 12-16 hours of non-stop Civ3 playing.

Actually, I'm going to go out and guy Desecration, the newest Left Behind book, because I'm a foolish, superstitious Christian.

I'll be assigning a ton of homework to my students
(I don't plan on grading it, but it will keep them busy and out
of the malls buying copies of civ3.) 
Then I'll install my copy and call in sick for the next couple of days.

I'm going to pop down to the mall, and check see if Civ3 really is going to be released in NZ the same time as all else,
then go drown my sorrows in pizza and bear cos it isn't...
...and god help me if it isn't and I succumb to buying the hint book.
If that's there as well....

I'll wake up around 6:30, get ready for the day, go to formation at 7:30, then to class at 7:50, class until 10:50. . i'll come immediately back to my barracks room and log onto the apolyton chat room and begin logging and participate in the first part of the chat during my lunch break. . at 12:30 i'll go back to class, i'll come home from class at 15:30, then go to some training i have tomorrow after class until about 17:00, then as soon as that's over, change clothes and hitch a ride to the mall to pick up the game.  And then play it of course.

Cruise on over to EB to be there when they open (11am). And if the game's not there, there's going to be violence! Look for me on CNN.

Get up. Get dressed. Go to work. Come back from work. Get ready for school. Go to school. Come back From School. Think about going to Halloween Caleigh. Remember it's on Thursday now. Go online and read about other people experiencing the joy of civ. Watch Tv about other people experiencing the joy of hapiness. Feel empty and Dejected. Have Dinner. Play Baldur's Gate. Sleep.
