I have not lived my life.  I have put off a lot of things because I “just wanted to get through school, then I would get it.”  I’m not starting a pity party, I just committing myself to do the things that I want and should do.  My camping trip is a good example of something I did without waiting.

2009 is a new year and I’m going to try to make the most of it.  I am also going to try to figure out what I want to do.  Doing that might put my planning mind at rest.

I have been counting down the days/hours to get this, and now I finally have it.  Thanks to my parent for buying it for me as a gift!  Thanks to them, again, and everyone else who has helped me get to this point in my life!  I love you all!

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.

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!

A summary of this weekend.

At work, I was able to complete or, at least, send several ISER’s on their way (positive).  After 5 PM, I worked on a project to upgrade all of the PC’s in one department to Office 2003.  This involved uninstalling Office 2000, installing Office 2003, and running an audit program that scans the PC for software.  All of the PC’s except one were updated and most PC’s had successful audits (moderate positive).  I’ve almost completed that project task (positive, I really like completing things, it gives me a sense of accomplishment).  So, I was able to leave work at 8:30 PM (moderate negative, it could have been later), totaling a little more than 22 hours for this week (positive).

I made it home in time for Battlestar Galactica and I will watch Battle 360° when it repeats at 1 AM (positive).  When I checked my email, I discovered that I might be getting a second job as a web designer from my former boss (major positive)!  This has really got me excited!

Later this evening, I’m going to take a hot shower (positive) and go to sleep for close to 11 hours (big positive).  I hope everyone had and will have an excellent day!

I’m pretty used to living on my own now. Going home for 4 days over Christmas was odd. It didn’t feel exactly right. One thing I’m not adjusted to yet is cooking everything for myself. Most of the stuff I make is made for more than one person. Also, coming up with the time to actually cook the food and clean the dishes afterward can be a hassle since I work late. I’m trying to expand my menu of meals, but going to the grocery store enough to keep the 4th of the refrigerator stocked isn’t all that much fun. It’d be better if I could buy food in bulk, but I just don’t have the space for it. It’ll be just another year or so and I’ll be able to move out on my own (when I’m working full time).
