An update on life...

I guess I should start updating this more often. I don't really like the idea of a journal online for the world to see, but then again, very few people of the world will see it. Unless you're one of my close friends it's very likely you don't even know I have a blog, so if you're here, I probably know you.

Anyways, here's how life stands for me as of today. And hopefully I'll be updating more often than every four months; I think I'll shoot for a few times a week.

So, I am now in college, going for my degree win website development. I have a job through the college's co-op program, that doesn't pay huge amounts, but it's still well over minimum wage, so I definitely prefer it to McDonalds. I work in an office, doing mostly Excel and invoice/purchase tracking. Not the most enthralling job in the world, but it pays the bills.

Yes, I now have bills. Not nearly as much as if I were out on my own, but I have the phone bill every month, as well as gas and some groceries. Work takes up :30 am to 5:00 pm Monday thru Wednesday, and I also have classes 'til 10 or so, so I usually don't get home until 10:30 or 11. Then I have to get up at 7 again, so there are exactly eight hours I can sleep, if I had nothing on my mind. So I never get the full eight.

Thursday I have classes from 2-9, so I have time in the morning for homework, then no classes on Friday. Haing a long job, AND 15 credits of classes really takes its toll. Luckily, I am able to ingest heroic amounts of caffeine. It's great to be young.

Other than the frantic schedule, life's good. Of course, I actually have no time to have a life, so nonexistence is deemed good, I guess. Still no boyfriend, but I'm glad that I'm not going out with any of the idiots from college. I didn't believe the movies, before. How all the guys are complete jerks and only think of one thing at college, and it ain't schoolwork. Now I believe it.

All the guys are either complete jerks, or there's the nerds. I love hanging out with the nerds, because I'm one of them, but you can't ever expect them to ask you out on a date, even if they obviously like you. Ah, well. I'd say no, anyways. Any guy that doesn't go to the same church as me, I'm always suspicious of. It may be pessimistic, but I prefer to call it careful. I'm 5' 5" and 120 pounds. There's no way I could fight any guy.

Enough of the depressing stuff.

The FOT was great. Reunited with a lot of old friends, got to meet some new ones. Went to a theme park, went on a few rollercoasters (Yes, really. I've gotten over my fear. Kind of.). Went out bowling; ate at a lot of great reastaurants.... generally, excellent.

Time to go to sleep, now. Sunday is the only day I get to sleep in, so I have to make the most of it.

Hey this is James.
You bet sister. There is only one thing on most guy's minds and no it isn't school.
Us nerds are dif though. we do think of other things but good luck on the confidence issue. I myself don't have that much either. Don't push us but try to give some strong hints. You might get lucky. Well I just wanted to say hi and that I did find it and did create an account. find me at iwillrule.blogspot.com talk later.
