Not so slow any more.

I had a date last night with the most beautiful and amazing girl on the planet.  My excitement is through the roof. I wonder when I get to see her again?

Long Time Coming

Looking back on my last entry, I am realizing that 1) I have no life and 2) What there is of my life moves really slowly. Not much has changed since my last post.

I am almost 2 weeks into the term now and for the past two weeks it seems like I have done nothing but that. It hasn’t been all bad though; I am getting back into the swing of school. I had forgotten how much I disliked research papers. Im really not feeling this post so…its over!

Friends, Clubs, and Social Interactions

I have been back from Seattle since Sunday night. Saturday night I ate at The Cheesecake Factory and it was amazing. I ordered a burger called the ”Ranch House Burger”, which consisted of the “Classic” burger but was topped with steak, bacon, melted cheese, and sauteed onions and mushrooms. I was only able to eat about three quarters of it and I was done for the night when they came around with the cheesecake menu. Since I was at the Cheesecake factory so i felt obligated to have some cake. I got the white chocolate rasberry truffle cheesecake and it was fantastic. As we were leaving a bum asked me for my leftovers and I didn’t feel like carrying them so I happily gave them away.

Next up to do that night was a club called the One3One or something like that. When we walked in we were frisked and I knew right away this was somewhere I didn’t want to be. To make a long story short, I just sat in a corner all night waiting for my friends to do their thing. I am glad I have the experience though, so now I know what not to do in the future. 

I am glad to be back in my home town. Last night was a bike race that got put together by some folks from one of the shops around here. I participateed and did very poorly but it was fun anyway. My quads are killing me.

I’m in Seattle!

All week I have been coordinating my work schedule so I don’t have to come in on Saturday, and it is finally paying off. Today I left my hometown in Oregon ,and went an hour north to visit a friend. The plan was to enjoy her company for an hour or so, and then to continue to Seattle with another friend who attends the same college.

My visit was cut short when I got a call from my second friend, saying that he was out of class early and that we should leave right away. Somehow I knew that would happen. So I had to say a quick goodbye, and I headed to the dorm where I would meet my other friend to go to Seattle. He was waiting in the car for me and I threw my luggage in the back and we left.

The drive was relatively uneventful. We got lost only once on the way to Seattle, but then once again once we were in Seattle. Apparently streets in campus areas aren’t on maps.

We eventually found parking near where we wanted to be, which was another dorm of a friend in Seattle. We met up with a long lost friend and I was stunned with how much she had changed. It became apparent that I would want to be staying with my sister and not have much to do with her.

I got dropped off at my sister’s house and my friends all headed towards the airport, where they still are now. I was relieved to have some time away from them. My sister and I went out to eat at a Mexican restaurant and then returned some movies and came back to her house. Her roommate was home so we all talked for a while and now I am waiting for the others to get back from the airport with one more teen girl than they left with.

Getting Schooled a Year Later 2

Today I am going to the local community college for a counseling appointment. I hope to know more about what I want to take, and if I can leave there having tested out of some basic classes I will be happy as a clam. (That is assuming that clams actually are happy.) I’m thinking I might start with some basic math and English classes. I like English, but if I can test out of the math my life will be much more pleasant. I might even end up throwing in a fun class or two.

Exploring great humans

A matter of great debate in my life is: If Technoviking and Chuck Norris got in a fight, what would happen?

If you need some background on either of these great historical men check them out on Youtube. Technoviking= http://youtube.com/watch?v=_1nzEFMjkI4

Chuck Norris:= http://youtube.com/watch?v=n8QAeoFdM5g

Some possible outcomes would be 1. the earth explodes 2. Chuck Norris wins 3. Technoviking wins.

I’m getting schooled a year later.

I never enjoyed high school. I always got bad grades and would go to great lengths to leave. My senior year ended up being only a half year because my goal was only a high school diploma and not to go above and beyond. I have found myself missing school lately. Most of my friends headed off for college or moved, leaving me behind. Does anyone really know what they want to do right out of high school? I don’t want to go to school and waste money attempting to figure out the rest of my life, but honestly what else am I going to do?

I know these are questions that everyone has to ask themselves. College is in my near future. I’m starting when school reconvenes in January. I only hope that I can make some decisions about what I want to do before my money is just traveling out the window with no direction.

First Post

Give me a break. I sorta have a life, but I often have time when I’m not working or hanging out with friends or riding my bike or working on my Volvo or trying to fix bugs on my Ubuntu Linux OS. Keep coming back or better yet subscribe to my blog…or not, thats good too.
