Hey...so yeah. Let's see, where to begin. When Shane was here last night we talked a lot about school and I got to thinking about it. There are people out there, like Shane and another friend of ours, Jeff, who study their ass off in school to do good. I guess I'm not that kind of person, but I want to be. I guess Jeff had 20 credits and he pulled a 4.0, which is pretty amazin in itself plus the fact that he's in a hard school. I guess he didn't have time at all to have fun, or if he did, it was a meager amount of time. I can't get motivated to do that. Shane said that the last couple weeks he said he'd study for about 8 hours on the weekends just to be ready. I CAN'T do that. I know that sometimes studying can be actually fun. I've had that experience before. It's when the studying is boring and goes over my head when I starts to lose concentration and listen to music or surf or whatever there is to do to get away from the studying. I hopefully can change next semester. I decided to up my credits from 9 to 15, though 4/5 classes are online. It's a start for me right? I guess we just have to get through these times. Once we get through this, it should be a pretty nice life after the education that you get from college. I guess that hasn't hit me yet, since I believe that a degree isn't everything, but everything in the real business world thinks that a person with a degree is always better than one without. With that out of my head, I'm raising my glass to a better next semester. Most likely next Friday or Saturday will be the day that I get a new dog. Hopefully there'll be and I'll be able to get it. I'm looking for a cattle dog, like the dog that Laura has. I like those kinds of dogs. Sucks that huskies and dogs like that are out of the question. I may go to Elitch's on Sunday, but probably not if I get a dog, since that's over $200 down the tubes right there just with the adoption of the dog and the pet deposit. Plus I have to buy food and accesories. Then I have to RUN with the dog most every morning. All plans put aside, I probably won't be able to do that, because it means me getting up around 6, running for maybe what, 30 minutes or so???...taking a shower, and then eating and going to work by 7:30...I will either love it or hate it. I do need to get in shape, so that may be what I'll do. No one will be here this summer with the exception of Chris and Rod. Rod with be working right when I get off work and he gets off at 10:30, so I'll most likely not see him unless it's the weekend or something. Even then I want to drive up to Winter Park to see Laura a few times this summer and the rest of the time I'll want to sleep or something. It's gonna be a weird summer. If I don't get a grant or something for my tuition, that means I'll have to pay that too, which will suck and probably half my money made this summer will be gone. and with bills, rent, and insurance...oh yeah, and phone, it's gonna be a tight summer budget wise. At least I'm getting to know the real world huh? Chris is doing who knows what. I will probably see him maybe a couple times this year. I will also be working on making the garage area look nice before the girls come back for the summer. Man, I thought summer was the time you have fun?? I guess some people have fun, some don't. Nothing else has happened lately. Been working, wasting time, watching the food network and sleeping for the most part. I have nothing to do at work (yes, still). I am trying, but my both actually comes back next Tuesday, so, I'm SURE she'll have something for me to do. I listened to a few hundred songs (trance) the last couple of nights and compiled a CD of the songs that I liked...of those few hundred, I managed to pick out a scant 15. I guess I have picky taste for trance. I only like one or two "kinds" of them...high, high, HIGH treble! Then I listened to them in my car and found out most of the tracks have huge amounts of bass...damn. But yeah, I think I may talk to Laura now...so I'll be heading off. G'night.
A very good friend of me and Chris came up today. I haven't seen Shane since, oh, probably sometime after graduation. Man. It was good to see him though. Work was boring. Laura stayed the night and I ended up going to work at like, 10. Oops. So Saturday, Laura and I are going to go to dinner with my family. She's really nervous about that. I keep telling her that there's nothing to worry. I am contemplating to see if I can go to Elitch's on Sunday. Maybe, maybe not. We'll have to see. We are finally moving in next Wednesday! I can't wait. I got the job of decorating the garage. Yes, the garage, we're using it as a "room", so to speak. The party room really. We'll have 3 couches and a chair in their, so. It should be the coziest of all the rooms. I am beginning to wonder if the general public is reading my blogs. I think they aren't, but yeah. Doesn't really matter. Tomorrow is just another day at work. Actually I have an orthodontist's appointment at 8 in the morning. God damn. I have to wake up in just over 6 hours. *sigh* I need these braces off soon. Well, with that said, I'm going to get going and get a good night's rest. Bye.
