So there's not much to say about Monday other than I was really tired and the day pretty much sucked for the most part. So other than that, nothing happened then. Today was a little better than Monday though. I had work this morning which wasn't all that bad. Mostly I just sat at the desk. My psych class wasn't all that interesting today either. I was fairly bored in there. So then after I went to lunch with Keith. He was sick so he didn't stay long. So after he left I just had a cup of cappuccino and sat around till it was time for me to go to work. Work in the afternoon sucked a lot. I was really bored, and it was really hot in the library. I had to shelve which wasn't bad, but shelf reading sucked a lot. For anyone who doesn't know what that is, we have to look through the books on the shelves and make sure that every single book is in the right order. If not then we have to take that book and find the right place that it's supposed to be in. It's a really tedious job, and it's boring and makes you sleepy. So I was glad to get out of there. So I headed home and decided to go to my little brother's soccer practice. It wasn't too bad. When I first got there I just spent most of the time just sitting around talking to Dante. It was pretty interesting. We talked about college and about what I did this weekend and a whole bunch of other things. So I had a pretty good time doing that. So then we played World Cup, and of course me being the stud that I am won the game. Well it helped that I had Chris C. on my team, but I scored the majority of the goals. So after that I was tired and the team scrimmaged the girls, so I just sat around talking to Dante again. So I came home and showered and my mom brought home my tux today. They screwed up my tie because they got a bow tie instead of a euro tie. So I'm not too pleased about that. Hopefully I can get them to replace that. I'm going tomorrow to find out. The jacket sort of looks stupid too. The front of it is really short and it just doesn't look all that great. So I guess that sort of sux too. Oh well. That's life. So the next few days will be spent trying to get stuff done. I have a program to work on, I have a psych test to get ready for, I have programming to read, appl of micro to read, I have french homework due tomorrow that I neglected to do, so I'll just have to work on this stuff. So I'll be going now...night
4/27/03
So this past weekend wasn't all that great. I didn't have all that much of a good time for the most part of the weekend. Friday was probably the worst out of all 3 days. I had school and work which was boring like always. Then after work I headed to the golf course to get my practice in. I didn't do all that great. I shot a 48, so I really need to get better. So after that I came home and just did my usual. The only person that was home and online was Abby. Everyone else was out doing stuff I guess. So I talked to her and did other things too. Then talked to whoever once everyone got back home. So then Saturday morning I went golfing with Mole. We had to wait around awhile because they were doing the first scrammble of the year which took awhile longer than we planned. So we sat around then started playing sometime 12:30 I think. So it was all wet outside and I got mowed grass all over me and I was dirty too. Jamie, Kayla's dad, joined us on the 6th hole. I found out from him that Kayla quit school, so I guess that's not good at all. I thought she would have at least finished out the semester and just not have went back this fall. I don't know. Maybe she had a good reason for. I haven't talked to her in forever anyways, so I have no clue. So then once I came home from the golf course I got online, and was talking to Keith and Nicole. I eventually headed to Nicole's house. We just sat around there till Nicole left for Sensations and we headed to Keith's dorm. Tyler called us up there and we went to the mall to meet him. Then headed out to his house where we met up with Jimmy, Tyler, Jen and Betsey. So we watched the movie "Cannibal the musical". I guess it was pretty funny for the most part. It was a movie with Trey Parker and Matt Stone. So about 10 Tyler and Jen left to go pick up Nicole and then Jimmy, Betsey, Keith and I headed to the bowling alley in Seneca. It was a funny trip the way up. So bowling wasn't all that great. It wasn't bad though. A whole hell of a lot better than being at home. A whole lot. So the trip home was interesting too. Anyways, eventually we made it back to Tyler's and Keith took me back to my car. I got home at 3 in the morning. So I didn't get much sleep due to having to get up for church. So after church and lunch I went golfing again and I did horrible. I didn't even finish my round. I just headed up the battle of the bands which was pretty boring like I had expected. I watched the Honin' show at 7 and then I headed home where I read my programming book and that's about it. I prolly should have done more homework, but oh well. I don't care. I'm done...night
4/23/03
So the past two days haven't been all that bad. Not that much has really happened, but enough to write a little bit about at least. Tuesday was my first day back to class after the short Easter break. It wasn't that bad I guess. I only had my one class which was psych. It wasn't that boring for the most part. Work wasn't too bad either. I only had to shelve for 1 hour which is short compared to what I usually do which is like 3 hours. So with the time at the art gallery I read a lot of my book from Humanities. It's called Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad. Personally I don't like the book at all. I find it quite dull, and don't find the real point behind the book. Oh well. I'll have to finish it up tomorrow because I have a test on it Friday. Other than that I didn't do anything really when I came home. I guess I worked on writing my program in my notebook so I could just copy it onto VMS. So that was about it. Today was similar enough. I had all 4 of my classes that I have today. Humanities, Programming, Appl of Micro and French. I ate a hotpocket at my mom's office because it was really windy out today and I really hate wind. So then I headed to work at Becker. I didn't do anything the whole time. I just sort of watched and Ande showed me some stuff. It was cool though because when Nancy came back she got me this cool candle because it was secretary's day I guess. I feel bad though because I didn't get her anything. Maybe next year huh. So after my appl of micro I was walking to go wait in my mom's office till my french class when I saw Abby sitting in her car. So I walked up and hit her window and scared the shit out of her. It was pretty funny. I laughed about it. So I stood there and talked to her till 10 till 2 when I had to go to my class. It was pretty damn cold outside. So we didn't talk about anything in particular for too, but she had some really intersting stuff to say. I'll have to check into it because a lot of it didn't seem to make sense. So who knows. Anyways, I came home and watched tv for awhile and then went into my grandma's and helped my dad mow the lawn. Then I came back out and ate then worked on my program for an hour and a half and it's still not done. So I'll have to work on that tomorrow. Well maybe not since it's not due till Monday. I'll have to see. Well I have nothign else to say...night
4/21/03
So the rest of the weekend was fairly dull. Nothing too exciting really happened for the most part. Well I guess a few things happened now that I think about it. Saturday I invited Nicole to come over, and so she did. I think around 1 or so she made it over. So after I finished my lunch the two of us headed to the church to finish up some cleaning that I had left over from the week. So that didn't take too long. Then we headed to the golf course where I played a pretty crappy round. I shot a 48 I think. I sort of lost track, but I think that was what it was when I stopped to figure it out. I'm definitly not as good as I was at the end of the season last year. I really need to get that fixed pretty directly because it seems it's not making me less stressed when I head over there to golf. So hopefully that comes along sometime very soon. So after that we went to the grocery store to pick up some stuff for diner. Then when we got home I invited Keith over for dinner since he always says he likes home cooked meals. So we played a little soccer when he came over then pretty much sat around the rest of the night watching tv and playing games in the basement. So that was that day. Then Sunday was Easter. I went to my Grandma's in Hawthorn. Lunch was really good. We had a turkey dinner which filled me up quite well. So after that I decided I'd head down to the new soccer fields just on the edge of town. They look pretty decent I guess. Although they aren't completly finished, they sure did fix the place up down there. Compared to what it was before they did a hell of a job I think. So then when I got back we did our little scavenger hunt which took me forever to finish. Then the rest of the day I watched tv and tried to work on some homework. I got a little bit done. And then today was my last day off for this little break. I spent the day laying around and relaxing for the most part. I pretty much accomplished very little. I did my french homework and read some of my programming book. So it was a wasted day. Oh well. I'm not too worried about school much. There's only like 3 weeks left so that's pretty cool. In other news I invited Keith to come along with me to NC. He said he would unless he had a job and couldn't get off. So hopefully he can. I'm thinking it should be a fun time. I guess I'll see. Well that's all for tonight...night
4/18/03
So I drove home pretty happy tonight. For once, I was pretty happy because maybe, just maybe things can be all cool again. People can be happy, maybe, and then everything will be back to normal. Life will be good, and it’ll just be the shiznittle bam slip slappy. Or something like that. So anyways, yesterday, the last day of school before this short vacation from school, wasn’t too bad. Only had my psych class which was boring for the most part. Lunch with Keith was pretty cool. Then work was pretty easy. Since everyone at the library is lazy, the majority of people didn’t show up which meant I got to sit the desk for all three hours that I was there. Excellent. So I decided to try and go golfing after work which was a disaster. The wind was horrible, so I ended up just messing around for the most part. So that was pretty much a waste of a trip to the golf course. So anyways, I returned home to schedule for my classes which I got into all the ones that I wanted, or at least the ones that I was told to take. So I guess that’s good then. So I waited around at my house till about 10 till 7 and headed out to Keith’s house. I was the only one there when I arrived, so I let myself in and set up my PS2 and messed around till Keith showed up, then Betsey and Jen shortly after. We watched Half Baked which is an excellent movie. Then the night pretty much progressed regularly as always. We played video games. Well we had two X-Boxes linked together and played some Halo that way which was pretty cool. And yeah. In the end the night wasn’t bad. When Dusty came he wanted stuff to drink, so he and I walked down to Uni-mart and upon arriving there, I noticed the 44 oz. drink was only $1.09 so then Dusty went along with me and bought three more for the people we were getting drinks for. The funny thing was that they were called Big Units, so we had a bunch of good laughs about that throughout the night. Anyways, I went to bed around 3, woke up at 10. We sat around in the morning then decided to get breakfast. So we all headed out to Eat N Park. It sucked because I didn’t get what I ordered, but it was good enough. So then I headed out to Tyler’s with him and then Keith eventually came. We sat around a lot during the day because we were pretty much tired. Eventually we decided to go the movies. Which turned out to maybe be a pretty good thing. Keith was hanging out with this Kara girl which could be good news. Hopefully it is. And when Keith can be happy then I think that people can be happy. So if people don’t understand this, then that’s understandable. It’s the way I think, and I usually think right for the most part. So don’t diss me. Haha. Anyways, this is a long entry so I’m stopping it here…night
4/15/03
Well I'm back after that small outburst in the last entry. So now that that's out of my system I'll catch up a bit I guess. Sunday was spent mostly studying and sitting in front of my tv. But I guess that's alright. Monday wasn't all that great although the weather has been a lot better as of late. I think it was in the 70's on Monday and that's pretty damn good. I wish it would stay that temperature all the time. It's just right. Not too hot yet not too cold. So from what Ande said of how things would be busy on Mondays, I didn't find it too be too busy at all. He didn't seem to be too hurried either. So I don't know what he was talking about. Oh well, I'm just glad it wasn't too bad. I didn't do too much Monday though either. So today was fairly alright. I didn't have to go to work till 9 instead of 8 now on Tuesdays which I think I said last week, but just to let other people know. Not that any of you give a damn and not like anyone reads this shit anyway. But just incase someone, anyone, is any at all interested(I'm sure you aren't). So my psych class wasn't too hard today either. We just filled out this survey thing and described the different personallity types that it showed for people. Lunch with Keith wasn't too bad, and after, work went by really fast. I had to train this girl today that is new so that wasn't too bad. I guess I'm pretty proficient working at the library now which makes me think of how much I didn't know when I started there and also how much I don't know at my new job. So that makes me think that soon enough I'll know almost everything about things at my new job sooner or later. So that will be cool. But then once I know things I won't think of how I didn't know them. Oh k. Enough of that. Ummm so after work I went to pick Nicole up at her school then headed to the mall to order my tux. I got a white vest so I don't know it will look. I guess I'll find out sooner or later. So then I took her back to her house where I taught her some soccer drills then practiced with her some. So it wasn't too bad. So I have two tests tomorrow: Appl of Micro and French. I don't know how those two will go, but hopefully I'll do well. Other than that I don't have much to say. Hopefully this weekend will be good...night
4/12/03
So this weekend wasn't all that great. You'd think that partying at Tyler's house and going to the battle of the bands would be pretty fun, but for the most part it really wasn't. Maybe it's the people, maybe it's the things. Who know's. I just need this weekend to be over and just go back to my everyday routine at school. At least that's something constant and now how it will go. It will be really boring, but hell, at least I know that already. So the party at Tyler's wasn't bad. I got drunk which I was planning, but I really didn't do anything that fun. So it wasn't that great of a time all in all I guess. Then the battle of the bands wasn't all that great today either. So I'm pretty sure that I won't be attending the finals in two weeks. I don't feel like wasting my time and money up there and being bored for the most part. So I'll just stay home. Or maybe we can go up to Jeffer's apartment. That would be a whole hell of a lot of fun. So hopefully that will happen, so that I won't be sitting at home in two weeks. So my mom keeps telling me to find out who I'm going to take to the beach which is really annoying, but I don't know if I want to take anyone. I should go down there and be by myself all week long, just to get away from everything here. Because nothing here really is that good, so it can't be any worse down there. So who knows how that will end up. Prolly shitty, but oh well. I can at least expect that too. So no surprises there. Well I'm tired of writing this shit for people to read, which I don't really give a damn anymore about people reading this. I'll probably just quit doing this altogether because there's no need to let people know how my life goes. It's pretty pointless...night
4/09/03
So Tuesday was sort of a crappy day. At least weather wise it was pretty crappy. It was rainy and overcast and cold and windy. So that was my first day to start going to work at 9 instead of going at 8 then taking a one hour break and back at 10. So that gives me more time to sleep in which is good. I had my psych test Tuesday too. It deftly was harder than the first test that we had in there. I know I didn't do as well as I did on the first one because my professor said so, but he told me that I still did fairly well, so that's good. I didn't feel like I did that good, so I guess I was glad to hear that. So I decided I was thirsty for cappuccino after the test, so I just went to 7-11 and got a 16 oz. cup then got a hamburger quick at Wendy's. So then back to work after that. It wasn't too bad. I spent most of the time reading a good deal of The Two Towers. I started reading it awhile ago, but when school started getting back into full swing I stopped reading. So that sux that I can't read it as often, but it's alright. I've read it before. So I decided to come home instead of going to soccer. It's not all that fun there anymore, so hopefully it gets warm so we can play outside. It's much better that way. So I just came home and did some homework and stuff that needed to be done. Today wasn't all that much better really. It was still fairly cold out, but at least it wasn't windy like yesterday. So we read a pretty interesting poem in Humanities today, but I don't know what the name of it is. Maybe I'll find it and post it sometime. Then I took my programming test. I finished really quickly and my prof. seemed surprised, but I felt like I knew most of the answers. If not, well then that will just suck because if I do good in any of my classes, it would be that one that I want to do really well in. It seemed pretty easy. I guess I'll find out. So I worked again today. I seemed to be a little mroe comfortable today, but there's still a lot of stuff that I don't know how to do. I guess it'll all come in due time. In appl of micro we had this really tough in class problem that I don't think I did all that well on. I had stuff down, but I don't know if it's right or not. Oh well. I'm not all that worried about that class. Then french wasn't all that great. So that was my day. I came home and did nothing really. Oh well. Not too bad of a day. The weekend doesn't seem like it will be too bad. So hopefully it will be good. Hopefully Friday night will be pretty cool at Tyler's. Well that's all for now...night
4/07/03
So I woke up this morning thinking that there would be snow on the ground because the weather man said so, but suprisingly, or maybe not really surprising at all, there wasn't even a flake to be seen. Not that I want snow, just that the weather men are so stupid to call for snow and there's no snow at all. So anyways, I drove to school and then went to take my Humanities test. It wasn't too hard, so all the studying paid off I guess. My programming class was pretty easy then I went to my mom's office and ate my granola bar and apple because I had to go to my new job today at 12. So I went there where I didn't do too much of anything. I started to learn how to do payroll, but all I did was write down hours of people in this book. I was sort of supposed to type up something too, but I'm not quite sure how to align things up right on the typewriter, so I just left it there. I sort of feel bad about it, but oh well. I'm sure she can't be too mad about it. I'll just have to learn how to do that stuff. I know it's not hard, but I didn't want to mess it up. So after that I went to my appl of micro class where we didn't do much of anything in there, but that's not too unusual. Then french where our class was cut short to do teacher evaluations. So then off to home where I was studying for most of the night. So I have my psychology test tomorrow, so I'm hoping that it won't be too hard. I have those 10 bonus pts so I can let some points slide, and won't have to worry too much. So that's good at least. Other than that, there's nothing to say...night
4/06/03
So this past weekend hasn't been all that great. I really didn't end up doing much being that school work filled up the majority of it. Anyways, Friday, Keith and I went to Nicole's to just mess around which wasn't all that bad. We spent the night in her room not doing too much of anything. Nicole got pissed at me and started lecturing me which didn't make me any too happy. Then she said I was acting like people that she knew instead of who I am, but that's how I am, and if she doesn't like it then that's just too bad. I'm sorry that you don't like who I am, but I love myself because I am me. Anyways, I came home then and there was a big storm at my house which was pretty cool. It got bad enough that the satellite stopped working because it couldn't get a signal so I just headed to bed. I slept for a good amount of time. I got up at about 11:30, and I sat around some and did my appl. of micro homework. Then after that I ate my lunch and went to clean the church. It took me longer than usual for some reason, like over two hours when usually I'm only there for about and hour and 30 to 45 minutes. So I don't know why it took longer. So I finished there and then came home to do more school work. I worked on my programming stuff for my test Wednesday, and then I spent a lot of time finished up Frankenstein for Humanities and the test tomorrow. He said 2/3 of it would be on Frankenstein which is prolly why I decided to read the whole book rather than just reading sparknotes. So hopefully that will pay off. So that took up the rest of my day. Then I went to church this morning which wasn't too bad. Then I came home to lunch and after I did my french homework for tomorrow. Then I finished up the rest of my programming stuff. Then the rest of the day was filled will getting stuff ready for my Psych test on Tuesday. It took me all day long to finish looking up all the definitions for the vocab words and answers for all the questions on the study guides, then writing them all out so I can look over them and study them for the test. So I really hated doing that. It took me forever, way too long. So I took a few breaks inbetween for supper and just to relax a little bit. But that was my weekend. Deftly not fun at all, but it needed done. Hopefully next weekend will be a lot better than this one becuase it was less than great. Just a little...night
4/03/03
I thought I’d write another entry tonight instead of waiting till either tomorrow or Saturday because I don’t know what will be going on tomorrow or during the weekend for that matter. So anyways, I don’t really have much to say about the day. I had work this morning, but I really didn’t do much because of the fact that my boss wasn’t there. So I messed around on the computer and read some of Frankenstein while I was on my break. I read about 10 chapters of it today, so I got a lot done when I think about it. So I have six chapters to go I believe, maybe 7. It hasn’t been too bad of a book so far, so I guess I haven’t had that hard of a time reading it. The beginning was sort of dull, but once you got into the later chapters it got more interesting. So I’m hoping for some sort of good ending. So I ate lunch with Keith at Gemmell today. We’ve been eating there the past couple of Tuesdays and Thursdays. It’s not bad food, so I can deftly handle it. Work in the afternoon wasn’t too bad either. I spent my time shelving books on level A which wasn’t bad at all. It was all secluded back in the area where I was shelving so that gave me time to just think I guess. So then hoping that it wouldn’t rain, I headed off to New Bethlehem to play another round of golf. Luckily it didn’t rain, so I was at least happy about that. I guess I played better today although it seemed weird that I did because it deftly didn’t seem like I was. I started my round off really horribly with 4 double bogies. So I was getting pretty angry at myself. I think eventually by the 6th hole I realized what my problem was. I kept lifting my head ever so slightly as I swung which messed up my swing just enough to mess everything else up that I was doing. So I tried my best to fix that problem, and I ended up paring 2 holes and birdying one out of the next four holes. So I ended up shooting a 44 surprisingly even though it didn’t seem like it would end up that way. So hopefully I can keep that problem fixed for next time that I go. I think now that if I wouldn’t have sucked so bad at first maybe I could have done really well. Oh well. I should be glad I finished as good as I did. Oh well, hopefully it doesn’t keep swaying back and forth. So anyways, I came home and watched DBZ for the first time in a long while. It’s new episodes now but I haven’t been watching so I’ve missed a whole lot of them, but it seems that the series is winding down now, so I’ll just have to wait till they start over. Other than that I spent the night reading Frankenstein and my programming text book and doing other little homework things. Yeah, not much of a night, but at least I got stuff done that needed to be done. I’m spent…night
4/02/03
The past two days have been uneventful. Tuesday was sort of crappy in the morning. It usually takes me about 25 minutes to get to school. It took me and hour and 45 minutes to get there yesterday. It seems that the weather decided to be not so nice and snow and have freezing rain so that the roads sucked. So I guess there was an accident somewhere on that road so I sat there for a long time which sucked. So I wasn’t too happy about that at all. So I was late for work, so instead of taking the hour between 9 and 10 off I worked then to get my hour in. Also, Lauren quit yesterday and Judy asked about me working and I told her that I wasn’t going to be working this summer finally. So who knows how the rest of my semester will go at the library. Hopefully she’s not all pissy about it. I played soccer yesterday too. It wasn’t too bad, but it wasn’t that great either. So I was pretty tired by the time I got home. Today wasn’t all that spectacular either. I found out my Humanities test isn’t Friday now, but instead it’s on Monday. So that should give me enough time to read Frankenstein in its entirety. So I guess that’s not bad. I cashed my federal return check today then headed to McDonalds for lunch. I got a double quarter pounder which was covered in grease. Ahhhh, I love that. So it was pretty good. So the day was boring till I got home and Mole called to go golfing. So I went there and played horribly which pissed me off. I shot a 51 which isn’t good for me at all. So I need to go again soon so I can play a better round. I hope I can get out tomorrow, so it better not rain till later in the day. Otherwise I’ll end up going to clean the church since I don’t feel like waiting around up at the college for 4 hours to play indoor. So who knows how tomorrow will turnout. Just have to wait and see. Well I’m beat…night
