11 days...

...Into my 20th year, and I'm already being reminded of responsibility all over the place. I've already gone a quarter to a fifth of my life... what have I done with it so far? I can't wait till I'm 21. In fact, I think I'll move out in August. Who knows, maybe I'll have to stay in Maryland for school, but if I'm going to LeTourneau, I'm going to Texas. There are a few things wrapped up in that statement, and some that follow from them, see if you can decipher them all. ;-)

2 days till I see my girlfriend, I can't wait! Though I have to... Anywho, I haven't been late enough for the boss to take away my vacation, except for today, when he's being merciful and giving me an hour off for family photos, with a condition. I need to be in the store (presumably clocked in) by 13:00 on the dot or I no longer have a job at JC's. Not the best thing in the world, but it's better than nothing, and instead of everybody losing, it's a compromise of sorts. I just wish my parents saw my job as a real job. They haven't been supportive of it from the start, saying I need experience in my field, which is true, but I've got a job that I wouldn't be able to hold anywhere else, and if they want me to do school instead of work, what kind of message are they sending there? how do they expect me to pay car insurance or cell phone bills (or unexpected things like speeding tickets... ugh)? I'll have to hold a job and work for the rest of my college career probably, even if it's delivering pizzas. I'll most definitely have to work on getting things done, like homework and devotions. But other than that, I'll be out of my parents house in 2 years at the max. If things go well, that is, if God decides to bless my path, things may turn out differently. I think I'll go start building credit now.

BLOG!

SIXTEEN DAYS!

It's the season

for Christmas ROCKING!!!

Now that we're almost a week into December, I believe it is high time to start listening to some Christmas music. And so I've got Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Mannheim Steamroller, Relient K and TobyMac's holiday albums running in shuffle on my computer. Yay Christmas!

In all honesty, I think that music is a wonderful thing, but that the radio stations play the same stuff over and over, which annoys me. That's also one of the main reasons I don't really listen to much radio.

Another Monday

And another day goes whizzing by. Today I got up in time for most of my history class. Darn those '8 o'clock's! Grr... Why do I ever think I can take them? Oh, right, because it was the only class available. Grr...again. Anywho, I made it to class, ten minutes late, so I caught most of it. It stinks that the part where American History gets interesting, I start missing classes. Not cool. I'll have to get the notes for the last two classes on Wednesday.

Also, I've got a presentation on Wednesday, and a program due in a week. Yay CIS and Data Structures.

Tomorrow, I shall go forth and get my name out there, talking with some folks in business, sticking my foot in the door for an (unpaid, six month, 6-18 hrs/wk) internship... I guess I should work up a resume first... maybe I can just ask them what they'd like to see on it. Yay me.

Let's see... seems like the rest of the week is going well, oh, and I'm gonna visit one of my good friends, who just got out of surgery Saturday. Should be fun, I'll stay for an hour or so, then be on my way.

Can I think of anything else? Oh, my girlfriend's in a choir! And they had a concert! I get to see the video when I go out to Cali in less than a month. I can't wait... *sigh* gonna be great... *sigh again with a smile.*

That about wraps up this blurb of a blog, hope you all have a wonderful December, we're supposed to get snow on Thursday! (But you know how accurate the weatherman is... ;-)

Well, NaBloPoMo is over

And Thanksgiving took priority. Yay food! :-p Oh well, better luck next year, and hey, maybe even the rest of this year. Who knows? I'll probably blog about books I'm reading, movies I've seen, and of course the normal day-to-day stuff, and special stuff like the fact that I'm realizing I screwed myself... er, didn't read the fine print... on some rebates from CompUSA. Needless to say, I will be returning some merchandise (2/3), getting rebates on another (1/3) and selling it, and recouping good money in the process. Also, I shall be selling stuffs on eBay to recoup some cash, and praying I get those rebates I sent for on those items. So, if you'd like to help a fellow blogger out, get some neat tech toys for cheap, and have a wonderful Christmas all around, check out my eBay seller page... uh... as soon as I set up a seller account/ upgrade my buyer account. Shoot. How does that work? More research before finals... woot.

Thanks for an excellent month of posts!
