Well I started my job yesterday and what can I say... it's a job, can't really expect much on that basis and as a result I am basically just trying to get through the days as smoothly as possible. I don't really enjoy it but if it was fun it probably wouldn't be called work, right? With that being said I hate my job :(. Worse things have happened though.

Saw Indiana Jones today and that was a fun film to watch. Maybe it wasn't a great movie but it was a fun movie to see (once, probably won't see it again for at least a few years) and once is good enough for me. So I recommend it if you haven't seen it and don't quite expect it to live up to the Indiana Jones' of the past. Oh well. Other than that I am rather knackered and gonna be heading to bed soon so I can be up bright and early for work. Ugh. Anyways I'm off, night!

Another day in my life... Today was much less exciting and ultimately didn't do a whole hell of a lot. Watched some TV and talked to people online but the only interesting part of today was taking the railings off my porch. Unfortunately some of them have rotted out because of how the water is able to pool on them and as a result, my father and I plan to replace the rotten wood with composite wood (the fancy new wood that's got plastics in it or something). With this, the same problem shouldn't reoccur and thus we solve the rotting. So we took the railings off today but other than that nothing special happened today. Sorry, but I'm tired and getting off, later!

So today was a bright and beautiful day. Woke up around 11:30 and had a headache... it kinda stunk but what can you do. Had an appointment at 2:00 to give blood and did that. It's really amazing. I hate needles but feel that I have to donate because it's the right thing to do. Well... it could be worse i suppose. Also it's bad that i am such a slow bleeder. It took almost 20 minutes to fill the bag I had and thats apparently a long time. Since then I basically hung out all day and relaxed... Don't want to strain myself and all that jazz so I tried not to. Painted some of my Warhammer 40,000 stuff (1/2 bodies of 5 miniatures, not too bad I suppose) and watched a bit of television. Talked to the girl and might have plans to see her the weekend after this one. I hope things work out cause I miss her (strange considering we've been away for about a week...). Oh well. Other than that another pretty boring day. I might go see my brother this weekend, that'd be fun as I haven't seen him in a few months. He's apparently got a party planned for Sunday so I have to try and get up there for that. Otherwise nothing else is really new. So I'm off for now. Later all!

Didn't do much yesterday or today (I'm not even sure if I posted yesterday...) But did wake up early today. There was a rally that was Anti-war happening in my town so my family and I went down to protest and had a good time. Another group that was pro-war was there and we discovered that by staying silent, those ignorant buffoons did not know how to react. Same protest took place last year and it was definitely reassuring that the numbers of their supporters was a fraction of it's size last year. I don't remember what our size was but we outnumbered them by a lot (just like last year as well). It was a lot of fun. Gotta say though, the political Right honestly doesn't have any ground beneath them in terms of facts. They spewed statistics and all sorts of data at us but ultimately their choice in what to say and how to say it left out the critical facts that prove them to ultimately be wrong. I honestly hope that McCain does not win the election. That would be a disaster not only for this country but for the entire world even more than it is now.

After that didn't do a whole lot, just relaxed all day and got some work done around the house. It's a shame that I have to wait for the weekend to start some of the major projects around the house but I suppose that's about as good as I can do. Donating blood tomorrow which means the work will have to be stopped to some extent which is a good thing I guess. I really hate giving blood but I know it is my responsibility as a healthy person to do so... I can only hope that others do the same if I need blood down the road. Anyways that's it for today.
Catch you later.

And back again...

Hey, I'm back after the weekend. It was a decent weekend, made a little money around the house, did a little work and basically enjoyed being home for the first weekend of the summer. It was pretty nice.

Started tearing up the old garden so that we can level it out with the surrounding area and hopefully get a lawn mower through there... that'll take a while and also set up a few more plans for the coming days of things to do. Also painted a bit of my Warhammer 40,000 stuff. It's nice to get that done even though I know I still have (literally) DAYS of painting left to do. I want to get enough done so that I can start playing next weekend... it should be nice to have that done enough for small games and actually learn about playing.

Other than that, not much is new. I start my job next Tuesday and then I will be raking in the big money that I save for travel next semester :-D. So yep, pretty dull day so far, I hope to have more excitement tomorrow. later!

So I'm finally home. It's been a long week of doing stuff and it really was a lot of stuff that I needed to do. Spent Monday studying for the exam I had on Tuesday at 8:30 AM. That really wasn't fun because of how early I was forced to wake up. Even better, my roommate was up all night playing video games and I had to get him to not use his headset at about 1:30 just so I could fall asleep. At least I got to bed and had some rest. Ultimately though that exam could have gone better. I think I did pretty good on the exams though so we shall see when the grades come in a few days.

After that exam I went to my aunt and uncle's house for the night and my mom and I drove home all day today which could have been a better day but all in all it wasn't terrible. Also went out to dinner tonight. A bunch of restaurants in my town did this thing where you can walk around downtown sampling all the foods they have. It was pretty fun. Food was great too. Other than that, it sorta was a generic day... Ok, so that really isn't a generic day at all but it sorta sounds good to say that about the day I guess.

I almost crashed today, that was not fun. Terrible traffic jam i didn't notice until the last minute so that was pretty nerve wracking. I had another few hours to drive after that so it was miserable to an extent. I'm off though, Later!

Well I'm getting ready for my last exam, starts tomorrow at 8:30 AM... i honestly am not sure how I'm gonna wake up in time and don't expect to get a full night of rest honestly. It's not fun but I really have no choice. Best part is I have no clue how to study for this one as he only gave us questions so I guess it's best just to know how to answer these questions and then I'll be fine.

Other than the exams, not a whole lot has been going on... It's really about it, been cramming as much into my head as possible and writing the papers that I needed to get done and all that jazz. Really not fun but I guess the semester's allowed for a stressful exam period. Ok so that may be a lie (it was a tough semester) but meh I'll let them get away with it for now as I had a good time this semester.

Anyways, for the past few days I had to do two papers and study two exams with the last one finishing tomorrow at noon. It should be fine but still I worry. The other exam I took wasn't too bad as i was actually prepared for it. Was stressing until I took it but showed up and think I did just fine with it. I am pretty pleased with that so I'm doing alright for now. Papers I think went fine, just wanna feel good about this last one which I won't be able to do until after its finished. But life could definitely be worse... I'd gladly take this uncertainty rather than other things that could be bad so I'm pretty pleased.
Anyways, I'm off. Later.

More delays...

I promise I will update this soon... just so busy with exams and such... sorry! Come back on tuesday I swear it will be updated by then!

Long day, still working. will talk tomorrow....

I love spending time outside the dorm that must be definitely true based on how little time I spend in here these days. I woke at 1 and went to a performance of a few friends for Shakespeare in the Sunken Gardens and then after that went to Anime Club for a few hours to see some great stuff. Following that went off to a review session for an exam in classics and then hung out with the female friend for a few hours. Talked about some deep stuff and such with her and her roommate. College is great for that it really is. Everything is open for discussion and everything is discussed with class and such. But girls coming up so I gotta finish this up. Maybe I'll add more detail later :-P

Ugh what a day. Long doesn't really begin to cover it with all that I did. Woke up early so that I could video-conference with the professor who's gonna lead my study abroad program (he teaches at a partnership school and not here) so that was pretty fun but had all that technical problems getting that started but no matter. Finished up by noon then ate a quick lunch and then another meeting for how to make my resume which sucks but I have to do it for study abroad tomorrow. It stinks cause I have so much work to do and I just want to relax for the last few days on campus... Oh well worse things have happened and I guess tomorrow I will get started on my papers and all that jazz.

Went shopping for a good period of time this afternoon just for stuff I want (nerdy hobbies) and got something that I guess I sorta wanted. I really wanted something else but I decided to not buy it at the time (a mistake probably) but I can buy that online after I get money. Unfortunately, I am really bad at buying stuff for myself as I hate spending my money on myself. I usually have no problem spending money for others but can't seem to stand doing it for me. Oh well I will have to get over that at some point, like after I graduate from college.

After shopping just hung out with a couple kids for the evening and had a good time. Problem is girls tend to cry when they experience PMS so I was there for someone through that for at least an hour tonight. Worse things have happened though I guess.

I'm done with classes...

Thats pretty awesome I guess, Today's classes were kinda miserable though. First one, the professor wouldn't shut up and was trying to cram everything he could into the last day and then French we had an exam. I think I did OK. Not great or anything but enough to get by. So things could be worse thats for sure. But yeah, on to the finals now and all that great stuff. I got a lot to do actually, I have a video conference at 11 AM and then a meeting at 1 for building my resume. Apparently they now changed it so that they need a resume for part of my study abroad which is sort of annoying. So I have to write one up and set it up for submission essentially tomorrow. Other than that I'm free until the weekend and my first exam at 7 on Sunday.

So yep, the year is wrapping up nicely and getting all the stuff I need to do done. It's definitely a relief for this to all work out as it seems to be now but I still have my stuff to get through.

Can't Wait to get home! It's been a great year that's a given but I really am looking forward to being home and seeing my family and everything. But I'm off for now, Later!

Pretty standard day, was the last day of classes though for M/W/F ones. Kinda a shame because i was just getting to like the reading we had to do for them. Oh well, I could always continue the studies after classes end but who knows if i really will. Other than that it was pretty dull all day. I got a test tomorrow though that I don't really want to do any work for but I don't exactly have a choice. Oh well. Least after tomorrow I get to relax a bit, but I dunno if I really want that. It means slowing down and I think it would be better if I kept up the pace of doing stuff. I should really do something, just gotta convince myself to do it. Thats it for now though,
Later

Edit: Fixed the glitch... Service Pack 1 did it. Thanks to Microsoft for actually fixing it so quickly!

So I've found a really annoying bug with Windows Media Player. For some reason it continues to play music even after you press the "close" button. Normally it would, you know, close the program but for some reason it keeps running in the background. Even better is the part that I don't know how to uninstall WMP in Vista because it's a windows program. Grr this is annoying. Oh and I had a dream about my ex-girlfriend last night... It was strange and didn't really give me any satisfaction while i slept so I'm just gonna try to ignore it. Anyways, thats it for now.


If anyone knows how to fix WMP in vista, please let me know. Thanks!

Pretty "enh" day today
DIdn't do much until dinner when I found out that we were going to see Iron Man. AWESOME MOVIE! It was actually really well done and a blast to watch so I highly recommend it to anyone who reads this. normally I expect super-hero movies to not be great but I thoroughly enjoyed watching this. Just a warning though: If you suffer from epilepsy THIS IS NOT FOR YOU. The girl I went with suffers from epilepsy and she had a seizure from all the flashes and stuff (she's fine though, just ended up with a bad headache after it passed, she's sleeping it off). So yeah. If you are one of us lucky group who don't suffer from that, definitely go see it. Oh and wait through the credits for a nice little bonus of awesomeness.
So yep, after that we watched Hunt for Red October. A classic, definitely ended the public aspect of the day well and then basically just hung out in my room for the past 4 hours. I'm about to go to bed because I am mildly exhausted and have my own headache. So adios!
