ArchiveHmm, no updates in awhile. Well, not much has been new, but I've been pretty busy the past month. Let's see, what's new... well, this month I had spring break, which was pretty fun, and I didn't drink at all, which was definitely a good thing. School's been going pretty good, A's all around, with less studying this semester than last. I just got done a project in CS, the one that's supposed to be like the hardest project you ever get here, I guess I did pretty good on it, just turned it in today. The gym's been going pretty well too, I'm still holding around benching my weight, I gotta eat and boost that up. Expect a new layout for the site soon, possibly one that's Cowboy Bebop themed, or at least inspired. Either way, it'll probably be a little darker, maybe some blue, kind of suits my current mood. I've been pretty introspective recently, doing alot of pondering and that sort of philosophical bullshit. I get tired of people, they can be so shallow and predictable, it gets to me sometimes. I think I could use a change of scenery, or failing that, perhaps simply hangout with some different people. I dunno, I've just been in a weird mood lately. Eh, enough of that. Anyway, housing's next week, hopefully we won't get in the towers, too many goddamn cops around there. I hate cops. I hate over-zealous RA's too. Class selection is next week too, maybe I'll be able to get a schedule without these lousy early morning classes, those are gonna kill me one day. Well, I guess that's enough for this update, I'll put another up soon, hopefully with a redesigned site. Tuesday, February 24 (2003) Well it's been awhile since the last update, but I've been sort of busy. School's going ok, I've gotten an A on every test I've had so far, looks like I'll do ok this semester. I've got a test in history and in theology this week though, so I guess I'll see how this liberal arts stuff is... not looking forward to that. This semester I've been like waiting until the last minute to study and stuff, and it's working out pretty well for some reason. Let's see, what else... the gym's been going nicely, I missed monday because I'm sort of sick, but I finally got back to benching my bodyweight. Even though I'm only like 145lbs, think of it as the same thing as a 300lbs dude benching his weight, yeah, heh. The not drinking thing didn't last too long, but at least now I don't really binge drink, I just like a nice Corona or something with dinner or just to chill and watch TV. Spring break is next week, and it can't come soon enough. I'm getting kind of tired of this place, I just need a break from the bullshit administration and especially some of the people. I figure a week off will be cool, just some time to sleep late, watch crappy daytime TV, hangout with old friends, and maybe work a bit for some money, I'm pretty poor right now. Stupid high priced college food. That's about it for now, but I'll try to get my lazy ass up and update this site more often, for those of you who are actually reading. Wednesday, February 4 (2003) Not too much going on recently. School's been ok I suppose, I've got alot more reading this semester with History and Theology, which sucks because I hate history and the bible can get pretty boring sometimes. I still haven't drank at all since driving home that night in January. Well, a little sip of Everclear, but nothing else, I've been pretty clean. The problem is, there's like nothing else to do on campus. I mean, there's stuff like working out, playing poker, shooting pool and such, but you can only do so much of that. And here at Loyola, everybody drinks, it's like our official school activity. At least my strength's been catching up a bit at the gym, I figure in a month or so I'll be back to where I was this time last last. Time to quit being such a weak little bitch. Recently I've been getting incredibly bored, I need to find something to do around here. Something that doesn't suck, that is. There's always homework to do, always. Maybe I'm just tired, but it seems like lately I've just been drifting along in a daze, not really paying attention to anything. Scary. Wednesday, January 21 (2004) Well it's been a litte while since my last update, and damn have I gotten into a ton of trouble since. About a week before I left home I got pretty drunk and drove home, my mom was awake and was just a little mad at me. Then once I got back here at school, I found out that I had a judicial meeting thing to go to for the writeup. I got a $50 fine, which wasn't bad, parental notification (just something else to irritate my folks), 20 hours of community service type crap around here, a 1 session alcohol class (stupid), and deferred housing suspension, which means that if I get another writeup I'm kicked outta housing. Damn, talk about overreacting. It's just because we had a bunch of freshmen in here, and Loyola treats its frosh like godamn babies. My classes seem to be ok at least, I still just kinda sit in the back and don't talk to anyone, but whatever. I think I might take my history book back, no one reads it and it's really boring, I hate history, what a useless subject. I've gotten back to the gym, 3 days a week, with a pretty heavy workout. Hopefully I'll start getting back my strength. Quiting drinking and smoking has been going alright I guess, hasn't been easy though... it's probably a good idea, most of the time I just drink more than should be physically possible and run afoul of the dreaded campus pigs or my parents or something. Actually I'm gonna have to do 10 of my 20 civility hours for the campus pigs. Ironic. Anyway, I have some stuff to take care of now, so I'll shoot everyone another update soon. Monday, January 5 (2004) Wow, long time no update. Sorry about that everyone, you all probably think I've given up on my little site here. Nah, I've just been insanely busy with school and all that good crap. I'm 2 weeks into my winter break, I actually go back to school in about a week, which really sucks, most people arn't going back until at least the 20th. I suppose it means at least I'll get out early, like April 29th or 30th. I haven't gotten my report card yet but I already know my grades: 4 A's, 1 A- in Physics Lab, and a damn B+ in stupid useless German 102. Not bad I guess, but that B+ really pisses me off. Oh well, at least I don't have German next semester, though I still have 2 class to go before I'm finally done with it. 2003's finally over, good thing, it was a pretty shitty year, hopefully 2004 will be a vast improvement. I think I might be getting roommates when I get back to school, meaning we'll actually have 4 people in our 4 person apartment. Yeah it sucks, that place will be really cramped if we have 2 more people move in. As a new year's resolution, I've decided to get back to the gym when I get to school, like 3 days a week. I've been away from working out for too long, I gotta build up some strength again. Also, I think this semester I'll be coming home a little more, Loyola's fun, but it can get old. My winter break's been ok, just way too short. Anyhow, that's about it for now, I'm gonna try to update alot more over the next month, as long as I still have people checking the site, which, according to the counter, I do (hooray!). Oh yeah, and I updated the school section, so check that out. Friday, November 14 (2003) Well, over a month since the last update. Sorry about that, I've been busy with tons of schoolwork and that sort of thing. Only about 3-4 weeks left in the semester, and I think my grades are gonna turn out pretty good. Let's see, what have I been up to... I'm still single as ever, not such a bad thing I guess, damn women take up all your time and money, they can be a real drag. I've mainly just been hanging out with my friends and slamming a few beers each weekend down here, I uploaded a pic or two, you can catch 'em here. I think I might actually move this site sometime to my Loyola account. I'd get like 100mb of storage (I get 20 now), and no pop-ups with better service. Angelfire kinda sucks now, they've cut down storage and have a shitload of ads all over the place, it probably irrates anyone looking at my awesome site here. Thanksgiving's in a week or so, so I'll be heading home and hanging out with all my Bel Air friends, the few I have left anyway. I registered for next semester, my schedule sucks ass as usual, I have a 9am class Mon/Wed/Fri, all the CS and Math classes here get crappy times. At least I got all my classes, even though I couldn't take German III because of a scheduling conflict, so now I'll have to take it next fall. Stupid foreign language, what a waste of my time. I think I'm realy looking forward to Thanksgiving and Christmas break, it'll be nice to go home and not have stuff to do. I haven't gotten to the gym much at all, been too busy, hopefully next week I'll get back. I've gotten all weak and girly from doing homework all the time. At least I've been doing pretty good in classes, alot of people seem to be screwing up and getting crappy grades, not me. Anyway, I'll try to update more often for those of you that still check the site. Wednesday, October 1 (2003) Hmm, it's been awhile since the last update. Sorry about that, I've been pretty busy around here. I had 4 tests this week, I've gotten through 3, I only have 1 Friday and 1 more Tuesday night. I think I've done ok. I went home last weekend, which was nice, I enjoyed seeing my family and some friends I haven't seen for awhile. I haven't been doing much except studying and such, the work around here keeps me busy. Definitely looking forward to the weekend. My English 101 class finally transfered, the teacher sent me an email saying she approved my essays and put in the forms. So, now I have 7 classes to my name here, not including the ones I'm in now. Which still leaves me as a second semester freshman... hmm. Well, maybe I'll be able to catch up with extra courses or something. I haven't been to the gym recently, not enough time. The weekends have been ok, I usually find at least something to do. My classes are ok, but I don't really think the teachers are any better than the ones I had back at HCC, they have a really great staff over there. Still haven't found any *single* good-looking girls... maybe I'll just wait till people start breaking up or something. All in all things are ok though. Friday, September 12 (2003) Another two weeks, another update, right on the dot. I've started class here at Loyola, I just got done my first full week. Last week kinda sucked, I had to drop to German II from German III, it was just too much for me after being out of foreign language for a whole year. At least German II will probably pad my GPA nicely. My other classes are ok, Physics kinda sucks, Data Structures and Discrete Math arn't bad, and Social Psychology should be ok. The weekends have been pretty fun, right now I've obviously got nothing to do though, because I'm writing this instead of out doing stuff. Maybe tomorrow night will be better, it's pretty dead here tonight. The homework hasn't been too bad, but it's kept me busy, I've got reading and all kinds of crap to do. There's alot of girls here, but it seems like all the decent looking ones are taken. Ah well, persistance will find me a good one. Surprisingly I'm not really homesick for Bel Air, I guess that's because I only have like 2 or 3 real friends left there. I took down the forum because no one uses it, and I was tired off assholes posting on it bitching about this and that. This is my site, so around here my opinion's the only one that matters. Anyhow I'm fairly bored tonight, so I guess I'll go to sleep soon, another update will be here sometime. Friday, August 29 (2003) Well, here I am, at Loyola. This place looks like it's gonna be pretty great. The campus is really pretty, and the people are really friendly, I've been doing orientation and stuff all day, and getting lots of free food. It also looks like this college has a lot of stuff to do at night, like midnight breakfasts and stuff, which is right up my alley. Also, the ratio of guys to girls is excellent, I see about 4 or 5 girls for every 1 guy I see. My dorm's all set up, and for today, I've got the place to myself, and the internet's all hooked up and ready to rock. I haven't been to the gym yet, I'll probably start all that next week. I think I'm really gonna like it here, but I'm still gonna keep in touch with my good buddies in Bel Air, don't think I'm gonna let you guys off that easy, heh heh. Anyhow I'll probably shoot another update your way in a few days once class starts. Friday, August 22 (2003) Two weeks on the dot for this update. I've been kind of busy, I just had my last day of work at APG yesterday, and I've been making trips down to Loyola to get books and settle transfer and class stuff. It turns out almost all of my classes transfered in, and C Programming actually transfered in as Computer Science II. I don't know where they got that one, but I'm not complaining. So, instead of Computer Science II I'm taking Intermediate German this fall, which is cool because I just tested into it, if my score had been lower I would've had to take Beginner German or something like that, which wouldn't have counted. I've been getting stuff together and getting ready to move in next Friday, alot of people have already moved into their dorms, I guess I'm going back kind of late. This summer's pretty much sucked really, I've just worked and had class all the time, with a few fun parties in between, which ended with me getting busted for drinking. I'm looking forward to living at Loyola, alot of things seem to be changing around here, I guess everyone's just getting on with their lives and moving on, so I suppose it's time for me to as well. Anyway, by the time I update again, I'll be living on campus in Baltimore. Friday, August 8 (2003) Long time no update. Sorry about that, but I've been quit busy with tons of stuff. I finished Calculus II, and checked my grade online, I got an A in the class! I'm not sure how, maybe he curved the final exam, but I think it's pretty cool that I finish my time at HCC with a solid 4.0, this hand's all aces. I also got a new computer, it came yesterday. 512 megs of RAM, 2.60 ghz processor, 128 mb Radeon 9800 graphics chip, and a 120 gig hard drive. Yeah, I know it rocks, now I just have to get it networked and on the Internet, and find some cool games to play on it. I got my books at Loyola today, move in weekend is the 29th, so I've only got about 3 weeks left in Bel Air, but I'll probably come home a few times a month. Summer's been ok I guess, I finally got caught for drinking, I was at someone's house and his mom found out he had a party and that I was there and brought booze, so, like the dumb bitch that she is, she called my mom. My parents took it pretty well, I'm not really in any trouble at all. I haven't been to the gym at all, but I've gained a little weight and found that I can actually lift more than before, now I can bench around 140 lbs, which is about what I weigh. That's pretty cool, I didn't do anything but I got stronger. Anyway my weekends have been kinda dull, so if anyone wants to hangout or something, drop me a line. Saturday, July 19 (2003) Just about two weeks since the last update. My 4th of July turned out alright, I found a pretty cool party to crash. I've gotten some mixed responses about the new layout, but I think I'll keep it at least for the summer. Calculus II has turned out to be a little tricky, I've gotten A's on the quizzes, but only an 85% on the first test. I've only got one more test, plus a final, then I'm done. I think I'll most likely get a B in the class, but that's alright with me. Work has been ok, the past few weeks I've just been sitting around alot, but I think this week I'll be out in the field doing stuff with tanks and such, which should be pretty neat. I've gotten my address and phone number for my apartment at Loyola, my move in date is Friday, August 29th. I'll probably be ordering a new computer sometime soon, so I'll have to set all that stuff up. I haven't gotten to the gym at all, what with school, work, and worst of all my stupid homework, sometimes like 3 hours a day. I'll be glad when this class is over, and I can start going to the gym again. Not much else going on right now. Friday, July 4 (2003) Happy 4th of July everyone! Just in time for the holiday, I've updated the entire site, a whole new layout and new content on alot of my pages. The pink/green theme is taken from Miami Vice, one of my new favorite tv shows. I like the whole tropical florida pastel colors and ocean background, I know it might seem a little gay, but I think overall it's a pretty cool look, especially for summer. Also, I've got a quote of the day section up top. That's right, I'll put up a new quote everyday! Alot's been going on for me, I started Calculus II this week, along with my new job at Aberdeen Proving Ground. So far my class has been ok, I just gotta make sure I keep studying and doing my homework and stuff. Work's been alright, I'm just getting settled in and learning the ropes, I'll probably get to start on something there in the next few weeks. So, I'm finally out of the library. I haven't had much time to workout, but hopefully I'll find out where the APG gym is and start going there. I was awarded housing at Loyola, so everything's settled there. Anyhow, I think I'm gonna go to the fireworks now, enjoy the new look! Saturday, June 21 (2003) Well, I passed my arbitrary two week update time limit, sorry about that everyone. Alot's been going on, I got my new job at Aberdeen Proving Ground, I start on June 30th, the same day that my Calc II class begins. July should be a pretty busy month. I put in my two weeks at the library, my last day there is June 26th. I've been working on setting stuff up at Loyola, I've registered for my classes already and I've been awarded housing, I've got a 4 person apartment down there now. That's pretty good, since the apartments go up to 8 people and 4 is the smallest amount. I've been working on a new layout for the site, building it from the ground up. The colors are pretty strange, but I think it looks cool. I'll put it all up once it's ready. I haven't been able to get to the gym much, damn colds keep making me feel crappy and weak. That's about it for now. I'll try to make the next update sooner. Friday, June 6 (2003) ACCEPTED! After about three weeks of waiting, I finally got a letter in the mail from Loyola College. I've been accepted for the 2003-2004 year, and not only that, but here's the best part... I've been awarded almost $24,000 in financial aid! And about $16,000 of that is a grant that I don't have to pay back! Working and getting that 4.0 at HCC actually payed off, after getting screwed so much by the educational system, something good has finally happened to me. I've got to get down to the college and make an appointment with financial aid, and also register for classes in the fall. This is an incredible break, I had figured I'd be accepted, but I never thought they'd actually give me money. Also, I should get my car back today, which will be nice. I figure now I'm good for another three months or so, then another inept highschool dropout driver will run into me, not that I'll be doing much driving when I'm down at Loyola! I got back to the gym this week, and I was pleased to discover my strength hasn't dropped too much, I should be back up to where I was in a week or so. Anyway, I'll update again soon. Wednesday, May 28 (2003) Well, everything is pretty much over. Over the past few weeks I've had prom, hfstival, and finally graduation. I was also able to get a rental car, and I'll probably be picking up my car from the body shop sometime this week. Prom was fun, we danced alot and I saw a bunch of people I haven't talked to in awhile. Hfstival was pretty fun too, it didn't rain at all and the bands were decent. I'm pretty much accepted at Loyola, I'm just waiting on my letter of acceptance, then we'll have to worry about the financial aid and all that crap. Graduation and senior cruise were yesterday, it was nice to finally be officially out of high school, I've got my diploma and everything. The senior cruise was alright, I didn't dance at all but I saw alot of people I'll probably never see again, and I caught up with some of my old friends and got a few pictures. I haven't been to the gym in like two weeks, I'm gonna start back next week and I've probably lost all my strength. This friday I'm having a D&D game from 12:00 - 5:00, a little late notice but hopefully most people can come. Everyone's invited, just show up at my house. It's been a really busy couple of weeks, but I've had a great time. Monday, May 12 (2003) Hi everyone! Guess what!?! Another accident! Hooray! Well, it had only been about 3 months or so since the last time some dumbass incompetant highschool dropout ran into me, so I guess I was just due for another! Yep, I was waiting to make a left turn into my driveway, and traffic was really heavy (it was about 3pm, jesus christ ya gotta love Bel Air traffic!), and as I was waiting to make my turn, some random jerk with little or no idea how to drive plowed into me. Of course, it was his fault, so his insurance company will pay the $4,300 worth of damage to my car, while it's in the shop for a happy two weeks! And that's not all, guess what?!? I can't get a rental car because I'm only 18! So, not only is my car wrecked and in the shop for about two weeks, but I get absolutely no compensation for it, and I have to have my Mom drive me around! How wonderful! I wonder why I'm in such a violent mood? What a shitty week. Aside from that, I've only got one day of school left, and I'm like 99% sure I'll get a 4.0, those bastards at Loyola had better accept that. I was sick for awhile, so I haven't raised the weights at the gym yet. Also, prom is this weekend, so that's something to look forward to. Not much else going on right now, aside from me being in a pretty bad mood. Wednesday, April 30 (2003) Hmm... no updates in like two weeks. I haven't really been too busy, just lazy. Let's see, what's new... the semester is wrapping up nicely, I'm pretty sure I've got A's in all my classes, and I've only got like 8 days of school left, including finals. My last day is the 13th. I'll be going to graduation practice for CMW, and of course prom, senior picnic, and I'm gonna get a ticket for senior cruise, that should be kinda fun. I finished up my last tutoring contract from HCC today, so I'm done with that for now. Working out is going very well, I'm up to 115/125/135 on bench. 135 is my bodyweight by the way. I've been steadily raising my weights every three weeks, I've gotten alot stronger recently. I finally registered for HCC next semester, just in case I don't get into Loyola. My schedule would be pretty good, I'd have Tuesday and Friday off, and my earliest class would be 11am. I rented my tux and ordered my date's corsage for prom, so that's all set. I haven't really been doing much lately, just hanging out with friends on the weekends, working, and going to school. I added a quote or two to the quotes page, and I also added in a favorite site in that section. Maybe I'll add some more stuff soon. Anyhow, I'll update again in a little while, hopefully sooner than last time. Tuesday, April 15 (2003) Two weeks exactly since the last update. Lots of stuff has been going on with me, not all of it good. I heard from Loyola, and they want me to send in my second semester grades from HCC before they decide, but they said I was a "strong candidate," so I guess that's good. And my prom date, who I had thought I was going to start dating, informed me that she just wants to be friends. Bleh, you all know my position on having female friends. I'm not sure what I'll do yet, but I'm considering backing out on her for prom (see the current poll), since I had planned on going as a couple, not as friends. So, I'm back to being completely single. I've had a test in every class for the past few days, I think I've done great in all of them, except maybe Comp Sci, since the teacher put some really gay specific crap on the test. I've got to register for HCC, since I won't know about Loyola until like the end of May. Working out has been going alright, I think I'm slowly building strength, I probably need to gain some weight to really get stronger. I registered for my summer Calc II class, that should be a blast... 3 hours a day, 4 days a week. Well, that's it for now, hopefully everyone's life is going a little bit better than mine, heh. Minor Update: I decided that I'm gonna go to prom after all, I think it'll be nice to see everyone from CMW for one last time before we all graduate, and plus I'd told her that I would go, I think we'll have a good time. Tuesday, April 1 (2003) Hey everyone, I figured I'd finally give you all another update, since I know you're just dying to find out the specific details of my life. As most of you already know, I've got a prom date, a certain attractive brunette from CMW. So, I've got to get a tux and all that good stuff, it should be pretty fun. Let's see, what else... I was inducted to Phi Theta Kappa on Friday, I got a neat little certificate and a membership card (no decoder ring though). School's going great, I got another 100% on my second calc test, and all my other classes are easy. I still haven't heard anything from Loyola, but since I'm a transfer student, it might be another month or so. Amanda and I are talking again, and things have pretty much returned to normal, which is good. I'm going to have to register for my summer Calculus II class soon, and I'll probably register for next fall at HCC just in case I don't get into Loyola. I've raised all my weights at the gym, now I bench 105/115/125. That's not too bad considering my bodyweight I guess. The pyrimiding idea seems to be working well, I think I'll post my workout sometime soon. Anyhow, that's what's new with me so far. |
