ok.....so it's been a while.....

ok...... So I've not posted in a while....... Sorry folks.

Last thing I told all of you about in my life was the first day of school. Well, alot's happened since then. Classes have been going along nicely(....mostly). World History 2 still needs a LOT of work, but it's.....somewhat bearable.

I've gotten back to the Staples here on Long Island. Business there is still slow, the GM is still ....unique. Jim is still a good manager. And I'm still there. ;-)

The main reason I haven't updated is that I've been......distracted. You see, I have started "talking" with this girl. She is, in my opinion, quite pretty--inside and out. I would like to request that any Christian who reads this post pray for me. I need wisdom.......and patience.

Well, that's all for now. I'll try to update more regularly.

-----THANKS TO BUG FOR PESTERING ME. I WOULD HAVE KEPT PUTTING THIS OFF OTHERWISE-----

Bug's Tag......

Ok.... so it took me over a week to get around to doing it, but I'm finally replying to Bug's tag....
Apparently, this is what I have to do:
1. Fill in your memories of 2008.
2. Link my blog to yours. (Or my profile, at least.) [I don't know how. Please assist]
3. Tag others, and comment on their blogs so they know they've been tagged.

First Day of Class.....continued

Ok. So its not as bad as it could be. Homiletics turned out to be ok, and Tests & Measurements seems like it will be fun. So, on Mondays Wednesdays and Fridays, I will only suffer through the first half of the day.

I'll update again tomorrow with the reply to Bug's "Tag".......

First Day of Class

Well, the 2nd semester is here.
My Monday, Wednesday, Friday classes are Trigonometry, World History 2, Homiletics, and Tests and Measurements.
Tuesday and Thursday are easier with only Leadership and Desktop Publishing.

So far, classes are going ok. Though History could use some work... Tried to will the teacher into quiting early.... so much for Jedi Mind Tricks..........

The Upside to Dorm Life

Well, I'm back in New York. The tooth stayed home, but the meds came with me. The ferry ride from CT to Long Island was very smooth and relaxing.

I got back to the dorms to find my desk broken. I found this out the hard way when I went to move it over 3 feet. I was trying to do it the right way: team-lift and move. Someone else, on the other hand, decided to slide it some unknown time earlier in the break when I was in CT. ALL of the connecting screws were torn out and the surrounding wood ripped to shreds. So, I got a new desk and assembled it. Quite fun while on meds actually. (seriously, it was!)

Anyway, the title says upside to dorm life, not downside. The first upside is this: NO SMALL CAPACITY WATER HEATER!!! My shower this morning was nice and long, free from the fear of cold water. Back home, the hot water lasts 6 minutes tops. Here, I can take as long as I want (provided there is no one waiting of course)

The other upside is this: NO NEED FOR TV!!!!! Who needs TV when they can watch the drama go on in the dorms around them?? lol! People are stupid sometimes, and it can be fun to watch. ...from a safe distance of course...

The tooth is clear!!!

Well, that's it. Two wisdom teeth gone. The top one went with no complaints, but the bottom took about 35 minutes to extract. At the moment, I'm still numb. When the Novocaine wears off.....

The dentist let me keep the top tooth. The bottom one came out in pieces, so it has moved on to the Great Hereafter. Yes, Hannah, I will try to bring it with me. ...On the other hand, I might leave it here so that Mom still has a piece of me in the house (literally)...

Tomorrow, I go back to IBCo. I'll get on the ferry tomorrow morning, and 3 hours later, I'll be in my dorm room. ...Ah.... dorm life....

End of the Season

Well, Christmas break nears its end. Saturday, I go back to college. Communal bathrooms, a single mini fridge for the dorm, shared laundry machines, cafeteria food (though they do try), etc, etc... I enjoyed it while it lasted, but I must go back. Oh well.

Friday, I get my wisdom teeth removed. I've heard many... interesting stories from people. When I lose them, I'll update everyone. I wonder if it will be... draining...
