I work for 4 hours in the mornings and have class from 12:45PM to 5:25PM in the evenings on Monday through Thursday.  Fridays are my flex-days.  I am scheduled to work only the four hours on Fridays as well, but I don’t have any classes on Friday.  I can use the afternoons to do homework or projects, or I can just stay at work and get more hours.  It is up to me.

After a few chores and homework today, I am going to change my blog’s theme, I have been wanting to for quite a while and now I have a reason.  I have a Smugmug account and I can’t add the photos link to my current pages list.  So it time for a change.  You will soon see.

I am so glad to be finished with English and speech classes.  They were some of the most difficult and challenging courses I’ve taken.  Grades should be post by the end of this week.

I can apply for my Aggie Ring as soon as the credits get transferred to Texas A&M.  Once ordered, I will receive it in November.  I am taking 15 hours this fall, and my parents agreed to purchase a sports pass this year, so I plan on going to as many games as possible.

Today, tropical storm Edouard came though town; I’ve seen more water come out of a sprinkler system.  I was very disappointed; I wanted a drenching thunderstorm.

I think I am going to redesign my blog this month, before school starts up.  But don’t hold me to it.  Trying to do things when working 40 hours per week is not always as easy as it seems.  I like when school is in session, because I feel like I get more done.

Tomorrow, I will present my first major speech.  It is about how my jobs have influenced my dream to become big in the corporate world.  Working where I have, I now want to own a small company, not work in a large corporation.  Well, I had better practice the speech again.  Each one has to be 7-10 minutes in length, yikes!

Hopefully, you will hear from me again, if you don’t you know what killed me: summer school at Blinn.

Tonight, I’m planning to go see Hancock with a friend, but if I don’t get a call soon, I’m going to go see it on my own at 9:45 PM.  Lately I’ve been watching a lot of movies, either online, via Netflix, or in the theaters.  I’m trying to work my way through a list of movies I’ve wanted to see before school gets started and I don’t have time.  (The previous is an example of a poorly structured, mostly likely, run-on sentence.)

“Success will come with patience.” You have to wait for success to come.  You’re unsuccessful now, but maybe in the future, if you wait patiently, success will come.  Obviously, I try to look at it in the first more optimistic frame.

What is success?  Is it becoming the CEO of a Fortune 100 company, making millions of dollars, and marrying the perfect trophy wife?  I don’t think so.  I think of success as doing my best everyday, enjoying my work, and leading a life in service to God.

I’ve watered my plants for the upcoming week, I’m pretty sure they will be fine.  I have about sixteen magazines, fourteen hours left on an eBook, eighteen podcasts, and about 4000 songs I can listen to for the trip.

When I get back, I plan on buying a mini-fridge.  I’m excited about buying one; not sure why, I just am.  Yesterday, I bought a new wireless router for the apartment.  The previous roommate removed the router that had been there, causing the internet to not work right.  It’s all fixed now.

Yesterday, I also had my parents pay for Blinn and I filled out my FAFSA.  There are so many things to do before you go on a long vacation.

I will be posting pictures, locations, text, and more online as the trip progresses.

On Monday, my family and I are flying to Seattle until the 17th of June.  I will definitely be posting stuff from Washington.  On July 7th, school will be starting at Blinn.  I’m taking Freshman Composition and Speech; two classes that I’ve just been putting off.  Well, I have to get up early tomorrow, so goodnight!

Summary: I’m really busy, working 7:30 am to 5 pm. I don’t have anything exciting to mention. I will be moving on Saturday. I will be in Seattle from June 9th to June 17th. I’m sorry I haven’t had time to watch or post on viddler.com.

New plants, wanted vegetable garden, and Blinn registration.

Exciting day: car wrecks, photo albums, and Microsoft Office galore!

Synopsis of my grades for the last semester of junior year.

I attribute the iPod as a leading reason for the decline in “howdy’s” that I hear.  The popularity of the Apple iPod and other mp3 players lead to people wearing headphones to and from class on campus.  Listening to music, Aggies are less likely to spout a brief “howdy” to the person walk by, and if you walk by someone wearing headphones/earbuds you are less likely to say “howdy,” as not to disturb them.

This is a sad trend here in Aggieland.  I hope the new classes admitted will push to bring back “howdy” to the levels it once was.  I’ll do my part and say “howdy” to everyone I pass.

I get a little stressed about the price of oil, food, and how that will affect the world’s economy today.

A summary of this weekend.

Had class, work, and watched a movie with a friend!

Today, I had time to take a walk around campus, so I took some pictures. Take a look at them here: http://pnebleu.com/blog/photos/campus-tour-08/
