Birthday ... ?

While I'd really like to have some sort of little get together, I just feel like it ain't gonna happen. And it's nobody else's fault, it's just that... well, I'm really f---ing busy at the moment. I have work from 7 to 4, Monday - Friday, and then I have night classes from 6 to 9, Monday - Thursday. Since my birthday falls on a Tuesday this year, it looks like celebrating might be out of the picture. My mom had previously indicated that she would like to just wait until the weekend after my birthday to celebrate (4 days after my birthday, but 3 days before my brother's birthday). I'm really not trying to muster up a pity party, but I'm at home bored by myself, so I was trying to think what the next exciting event would be... and then I accidentally depressed myself. :-) Well, I have plenty of wedding tasks to do, so I guess I have some work with my name on it scheduled for this weekend. Kristina opens this weekend, which is a good thing, because that means we'll be able to go out or something in the evening. I talked to Billy, Tim, and Guss today. Billy, Tim and I discussed Matrix: Reloaded for a brief moment, and then Guss and I talked for all of 5th Period. It was a good last day. Just 2 more days until I start working at Bristol Myers... I'm totally digging my USI classes, they're going well, and I'm not even that bored with the repeat material. When I'm in the classroom, I'm in one of my happiest states. I still maintain my claim that someday I would like to be a professional student.

Matrix Reloaded (No Spoilers) etc.

Without giving away any plot points or spoilers, all I can say is this: just a bit too much action, just a bit too much romance, and just a bit too much humor. The first Matrix movie was slick, this one had too many Cadillacs. Crazy mad word-ups go to Tim who hooked me up with a free ticket. Oh! Guess what popped into my inbox today? Just a link to info on a game I've been waiting for... forever! I never thought the day would arrive! I did go to my first Intro to Computer Science class tonight... I already have 4 assignments. Looks like I'm gonna be busy. Gotta sleep now, take care!

New Page Feature

Over on the left, I've added a link to 'About Me'. This page answers a lot of questions about my life and experiences. I plan to add more as time passes. I'm fairly boring, but there might be a few nuggets of neat stuff in there.

Education Update

Well, it's official... I'm now a part-time student at USI. My classes begin tomorrow and run through the end of July. The only bad thing is that I had to take a class that I didn't want just to get an extra 3 credit hours, so that I'd be eligible for a Stafford Loan. bleh... At least I got a Pell Grant. My 2 classes? I thought you'd never ask! I'm taking an Electrical Engineering class, called Digital Logic and some introductory Computer Science course that I've already had. It's about the history of computers. I had no idea that USI offered a Bachelor of Science degree program for Computer Science. That's my new major. 57 out of 60 credit hours transferred, I r0x0r!

Weekend and Funniness

The weekend was pretty good, as Kristina and I finally went to see X2: X-Men United. It was a really good movie. Not in that "will change your life forever" sense, but it was in that really fun captivating way. Mother's Day was pretty good as well. Kristina and I took my mom out to eat at the Applebee's in Madisonville, KY (I love Applebee's, it's one of my favorite restaurants). It seems weird that my birthday is only 22 days away. I must be getting old(er) because about a month ago, I actually had to calculate how old I am, I really couldn't remember if I was 25 or 26! Sometimes, I think I'm retarded. And now that I've given you a nugget of personal information about myself, go scoff at this. Talk amongst yourselves!
