Where In Time Is Obama RPG Disk 2?

I'm going to lay my cards on the table for you guys. That poster I made for disk 2 (which some of you may/may not have seen) had a date for Obama RPG disk 2. That date was August/September. I'm going to say right now that that's not going to happen. And I don't know when it's going to happen (or, dare I say, if it's going to happen, although let's try to stay optimistic).
Going to Penn State. I can only imagine where this will take me.
Why do I say this? I say this because of college. I'll be going into college this fall (*confetti*), and so of course I got a job to pay for college. Nothing new, right? Well, this is new. I'm getting a second job to help pay for college. I've also been accepted into the honors program. What this all means is work. Work. Work. Work. Studying. Studying. Studying. And time constraints.
Probably over exaggerating, and I'm not a girl, but you get the point.
Between juggling two jobs (one which I work weekends, the other weekdays), taking honors courses, having time to socialize and talk to friends, and still being able to have some free breathing time to myself, I don't know when this whole thing that is Obama RPG is going to happen.
You might say "Well, why don't you power through it before college starts?" No way, Jose. I was miserable just powering through Obama RPG for a few days at a time, and while the end result looks fine, there is no way that was good for my mental or physical health, and I just can't do that to myself again, even if it is for the sake of my "art". I'm certainly not going to work on it now, as I'm just taking a break from all that just so that I can do other things with my life, work through my backlog of games that I desperately want to play, and relax.
Right now, Obama RPG is a chore. Something that I feel obligated to do, but something I don't want to do, don't have the energy to do, and something that will hurt me, in the end, whether it be in health or through the time it will take away from more important things.
Don't be sad, Obama. Might be a bit of a chore to make your game, but I still love you.
So, where in time is Obama RPG Disk 2? I don't know. And I feel awful for saying so after how much I've hyped up this game and after the cliffhanger I end disk 1 on, but things change on the drop of a dime. One minute I've got free time out the wazoo, next minute I've got two jobs and a wealth of schoolwork hanging over my back.
Someday, the rest of the story will be told. I just don't know when. Or how. Or if it will even be in game form. For Obama, this is a long sleep. For me, this is the transition into a time of my life where the world is waiting, and I have to take the chance and grab it before it slips through my fingers and I regret my missed opportunity.
I'm going to need it.
I'm sorry. Thanks for all those who have played. And wish me luck.

CloseSo going to Happy Valley :D, I see! What are you planning to study, if you don't mind me asking? That said, I understand the heavy burden of having to work and study (being in honors program at that), and, balancing that with the other aspects of life.
Don't forget you can always come back to this when you have the time and feel like doing so. Anyway, I think you should consider putting this game on "hiatus" to keep open the possibility of finishing sometime in the future, hopefully before Obama's second term is over. It would definitely lose some impact if it were done after that.
Anyway, don't be stranger ...

I'll be majoring in Software Engineering. So, plenty of programming classes in my future. Strangely enough, though, I won't be taking any programming classes until my second year (or second semester of my first year, I forget which). Instead, I get tons and tons of chemistry and physics classes (woo). At least I liked Chemistry back in high school more than Biology or Physics, so I can handle that.
Sure, I'll put this on hiatus, and I'll probably drop by from time to time to check out what games other people are making, because I know (like with me discovering the existence of Kanye Quest a few weeks ago) you never know what crazy awesome thing someone will slap on RMN next.

Yeah, I got to learn BASIC, Pascal and C, although I haven't touch them in a long time. I kind of regret not having studied something related to computers since I always enjoyed using them ...
I find out strange that you have to take Chemistry and Physics, although learning about Electromagnetism couldn't hurt. I liked Chemistry in high school, but in college, it was ruined for me since they made classes horribly hard to weed out the potential premed students. Plus early in the semester, the class had more students than seats in the auditorium, so if you got there late, you would have to sit on the floor or stand. Once the results of the first midterm were in, people started to drop out like dead flies.
RMN does have some nice surprises. Let us know how you're doing otherwise.
