I'm just spending my time relaxing in my apartment, plus it's currently very rainy up here.

It's really hot here (Texas), and I'm the lucky one who got the dorm with the air conditioner that doesn't work, so I've been trying to stay elsewhere, just hanging out, talking to people. Oh, and my room mate still hasn't shown up even though it's after move in weekend (though you could probably still move in anytime before classes), so it's really boring in my room. It kind of svcks.

Had my first class of college today. Healthy cooking. Was pretty fun.
Ended up making a grilled chicken and chopped salad with roasted pecans and an apple cider vinaigrette.

Speaking of cooking, I baked a cheesecake yesterday. I've made one before, but I changed a few things this time 'round, so hopefully it'll turn out okay. Currently letting it age a little before I try it.

well some news on my front, my sister is thinking about moving in with one of her friends, which means we will probably be able to settle for a apartment (which the the ones in the neighborhood where I live will be immune to the move-out order, I'm thinking pretty sure). I'm also getting another Game Boy game: Ultima, Runes of Virtue, which I haven't had in a very long time (Mods: I have a Game Boy Advance)


@Septiego: It's stupidly hot here (Central NC) and the AC in the trailer is completely [censored] and I have nowhere to go, so if you think you have it bad, I've got worse. Seriously just get like 50 or so fans and have them blowing at full power.

Tomorrow's my last day of summer :shakehead:

And I finally have a full list of stuff I got for my birthday:

-New office chair
-New mousepad with wrist cushion
-Mass Effect for 360
-Mass Effect 2 for 360 w/ strategy guide
-Just Cause 2 for 360
-A DVD copy of "Blazing Saddles"
-An iTunes giftcard
-An Xbox Live microsoft points card
-A $50 dollar Walmart card
-3 t-shirts
-Around $50 in cash
-"How to Insult, Abuse, and Insinuate in Classical Latin" by Michelle Lovric

Well, it's official, I am now working 2 jobs and applying for a third. It kinda svcks having to pay for a Peru expedition, a car, and a new computer all at the same time.

Also, I'm going back to the hospital tomorrow to get my knee reexamined. I hope they the doctors change their minds, their last conclusion was that I can't run until the end of October, which puts me out of Cross Country

My laptop's backlight is busted as of an hour ago, so currently I'm using an old monitor for a screen.

I am moving Friday and here it is Tuesday and I have not started packing. i rpobably won't do any until Thursday evening anyways then the last bit on Friday morning. Its not like I am taking all of my stuff so no need to worry, plus I will be close enough to home if I forget somethign I can come get it rather easily.

The next two weeks, and particularly these next few days, are going to be rough. But luckily, it wont be as bad as it could have been. Up until a few minutes ago, being kicked out of school and becoming yet another homeless person in San Francisco, at least until I bought a plane ticket back to New Jersey, was a big possibility. See, somehow, I wound up in a situation where it's the middle of August, the next semester starts September 2nd, and I move into my dorm on August 26th, but I still haven't gotten enough financial aid to cover it all. I had enough to cover housing, but I still had to be approved for another loan to pay for the actual tuition, and my getting this loan was not in any way assured. So the last few days have been, as you can imagine, very stressful. But, luckily I was approved a few minutes ago and even though it will still be stressful, everything will work out in the end. So hooray for still being in college! And not being homeless in San Francisco!

However, my flight leaves on Thursday morning, and I'm not sure my school will process everything before then. In fact, I'm almost certain they wont. So I will have to go to San Francisco anyway, and pray that they will let me into the dorm, despite not having paid for it yet. I'm pretty sure that because I'm a continuing student, and not a new student, they wont not let me move in, if I say I have nowhere to go. And I really don't. Then, because i most likely wont be able to connect to the dorm's wifi for a while do to them still setting it up, I'll have to find another computer to do things on. I need the internet to finish up some things with the loan and the school. Hopefully this dorm will have a computer lab, and if it doesn't, well, hopefully the school's computer lab will be open already.Then once I get everything paid for, there's still the matter of paying for supplies for each of my classes, which wont be cheap. But, at least I can pay for the classes and dorm room...

On the bright side, I get to leave New Jersey soon! It's so stressful here, I'm so glad I didn't have to stay for more than 2 weeks. What would have felt like a vacation if I had a normal family was the exact opposite with my family. I can't wait to get back to the city, even with all this stuff to deal with it will still be easier to relax there than it is here.

Has anyone ever had that one manager that no matter what you did you couldn't do it right in their eyes?

My manager is like that.

I guess he doesn't understand that its my first job and that I'm going to make mistakes. Everytime I try harder it ends up backfiring in my face.


He also talks about me behind my back. My friend who was in the store while I wasn't working overheard him say:

"If I have to work one more week with Kyle (thats me) I'm going to shoot myself."

I want to confront him about it, but I'm afraid my job might be at stake.

Then again if I'm such a pain why not just fire me.



I just have no idea what to do, and its put me into a terrible angry mood.

I hope they let you in Antibody, and that you don't end up sleeping on the streets.

Well, today's my last day of summer vacation since I'm starting college again tomorrow. Currently, it's very rainy, like it's been this whole week.

Today was my first day of behind-the-wheel driving instruction. Apparantly, I'm VERY bad at braking. Oh well, at least we didn't crash.

I got nervous when the other student got it. "The End of the World As We Know It" by REM came on the radio right as she started accelerating :rolleyes:

Got back from my cottage today. I was up there since Sunday and honestly don't know why I came home. I was fishing non-stop basically all day. I caught around 5 good size (2-3lb) small mouth bass and attempted to reel in a muskie, but it broke my leader somehow. The only reason I knew it was a muskie was because the sun was in the perfect spot and illuminated the water so I could up to 7 feet off my dock.

Good times...i'm kinda disappointed that i'm back in civilization.

got my wisdom tooth taken out today, they had to scraqe some bone of my jaw to get it out.

it hurts like [censored] the Novocaine was [censored] useless, and vicadin really isn't that helpful

so ouch³

[censored] I just drooled all over my shirt and pants, it looks like I spilled a cup of water on myself. Gotta go change. :angry:

I came back from my first day of college about an hour ago. I had Biology and Calculus, in reverse order. The former wasn't too hard, though I just started. The latter was kind of boring because the professor just went over stuff I already learnt (or should I say went over) back in general chemistry. My professor already said that the class was going to become much harder as we went forward. I'm not afraid though.

Also, I ran into one of my old schoolmates from the year after mine.

I love my english teacher, he's so awesome. We just got a list today to choose which book we would like to read this quarter.

I've been meaning to read the Hobbit though so sounds like a good time to do that. May read another for some extra credit so be sure to recommend me one.

Also, I've got my first game tomorrow. Three hour bus ride...But I'm excited! Can't wait.

If you haven't read 1984, screw the hobbit and do that.

I go back to school September 9th, but I'm nervous. School seems alien to me, I'm worried that I may not know anyone in my classes, and I'm not a very social person. I don't get along well with strangers. Any advice?

Hey lurkers, today I went to buy Katy Perry's Teenage Dream, its the official release date in Australia you see. So heres the day's events on the much anticipated day.

After a bit of a crappy start to the day cleaning the house, I hopped on the train into the city and headed off to JB-HI-FI. I went in and asked if they had Katy Perry Teenage Dream, the woman said oh we are still processing them Ill get one from the back for you, limited or normal edition? Limited I replied, feeling like I should say its for a friend when she came back to cover for my strange musical tastes. I bought it and looked around for a while, dropped a dollar to street performer I actually thought was singing Blur well, then bought a postcard from the tourist shop where Chinese tourists were looking at lighters with Australia written on and crocodile Dundee style hats. I headed home on the train hiding the pink album in my jacket from other much more manly men on the train.

I removed the plastic when I got in. Its not a jewel case, its one of those fold open cardboard ones. I looked at the pictures Katy Perry looking stunning in a dress shaped like a cupcake and another wearing a crown made of lollipops and icing. I pulled out the album's booklet and started reading it. I noticed a funny smell it seemed to be coming from the booklet! I smelled it, it smells like cotton candy! A big grin came on my face. Thats just so like Katy Perry I thought. Definitely a unique thing. Ive never bought an album thats scented before.

So thats my day today. I am happy.

Have ya seen Toy Story three, you can actually buy the bear from that and he actually smells of Strawberries!

Yeah I have seen Toy story 3, I knew you could buy the bear but I didn't know he smelled of strawberries! Thats cool! I might get that for my friends birthday

Try be the first to break the ice, you don't have to carry on with that trend but people remember the first guy.

Ignore this person. The Hobbit is a very good book, 1984 is dire. So boring. Read the Hobbit.

Anyway, I'm in Uni now. Got into my first choice to read Chemistry so I can be crazy, mad scientist soon. I don't go back till the 10th of October so I have another 6 gruelling weeks of lying in bed and partying. Pity me lurkers! Pity me

Ignore Fighters, he's something of a barbarian.

"1984" is pretty much required reading for any civilized being, and I'd go with "Brave New World" after that.
