Brick Wall

I was doing so well for so long, but then of course when I start coming really close to my goal I hit a brick wall. In the past week or so I've gotten like 2 levels. 2 levels in a week will just not fly if I'm going to have my cap by the end of the month.

Lately I've been out of town, busy with sports, or with my gf all the time. Disdain is finally coming back and I've had very little time to do stuff with him. Last night I was able to get his DNC into my exp party because it took our BRD way too long to log back on. It was a fun party considering our MNK/WAR was tanking. Not to mention my polearm starting to skill up more and I was able to more consistently drop massive Penta Thrusts on the Colibri. Having Disdain on DNC was a nice addition, considering no BRD or COR, since he could do haste samba, back up cure, and pull.

Other than that though I have had basically no progress in game. No bonecrafting skill ups, no real Maat's Cap progress, no new gear to speak of, no special events I've done, and just being envious of some of my friends because they started doing Salvage. It sucks not having a regular schedule because that means I get excluded from all the events I would like to do. Not being able to be relied on for certain times week in and week out is crushing because that leaves me with just leveling jobs and meriting and making the occasional Dynamis when I can. This blows...

After chatting with Swifman a little bit he's pretty convinced that I could make it into DaFunk without much of a problem as long as I get a some more merits into BLM. Right now I know my jobs are kind of lack luster but that's only because I never had the need to really deck them out. If I am accepted into DaFunk though I know I'm gonna have to drop some gil and upgrade a lot of my gear so I can really contribute to the LS. But this all depends on me FINISHING MAAT'S CAP!!! ARGH!!! Hopefully I can crack down and get this done by the end of the month AT THE LATEST because I would like to move on with this game instead of just exping all the time.

I don't have a Quote of the Day because I'm not in a great mood.
