Simulation Practice

Sorry for the amount of time between updates; time dilation has really been cutting me down. It's only been a day on Andromeda since my last post, but I know it's been longer for you. My humblest apologies.

Anyway, I'm off of school right now, and I've been devoting a lot of time to this simulation that was developed to help Zirconian officers practice their battlefield tactics and strategy. I want to improve my skills, which are currently quite limited, as I know it will help me in the future.

It's important to note, however, that skill in the game does not necessary lead to skill on the battlefield. What the game helps is improve understanding of the economic aspect of war, as well as the brain's ability to deal with unit management under pressure. Currently, the latter is what I'm having more difficulty with.

Sometimes I wish the knowledge of how to do something was equal to actually accomplishing it. I wish that life were more like a puzzle; the challenge comes in figuring it out, not in carrying out the task.

I can come up with ideas, I can come up with plans, I can allot the proper amounts of time for every step. I can complete enough projects in my head to tear down the accomplishments of generations and replace them with a new universe. The problem is, I have to actually take do what I plan to do in order for it to get done.

Believe it or not, even a game can help me learn that important lesson. The problem is, it's also distracting me from the jobs I wish to complete. I should probably do something about that, but first, it's time for another game.
