Last time I updated was September 25th. Good lord that was a ways away. Sorry bout that, folks. I've been dominating on my RvB blog for a while. So yes, I am updating, just haven't been on here.
So, what's new with me?
Fall '08 hath begun (after a summer with the internship, all in all a good experience), and almost over too. Two of my classes are uber-stressful: military geography and seminar. I went paintballing for military about a few weeks ago, first time I've ever done such. It was an interesting experience. I didn't get shot until the very end, it stung a lil but I got over it. Rest of my classes are alright. I've really been skipping like a mofo (come on, it's my last semester damnit) but everything seems to be going okay. Just ready to walk down the altar (??? I couldn't think of a better word), shake hands with monsieur Levin-Stankevich (sp? that's our chancellor btw), and get that epic piece of paper that resembles a bachelor of science degree in Human Geography. Who ISNT getting magna cum laude? This girl...haha. So yeah, excitement.
So...the whole Josh thing, didn't work out. Hooked up with his ex. I was bummed, but I got over it. In fact, this whole thing about meeting guys this summer...I have officially kicked it to the curb. After a few emotionally upset nights in September I realized what I was doing (thanks to a few helpful people), and decided from that moment to only focus on hangin' with friends when going out to the bars, not trying to meet guys. And also, I am getting very sick of the whole hangover dealy, so I've been tonin that down too. And so far it's going well. I'm very proud of myself that I'm taking care of my health after a night of unhealthy drinking. Downing the water, making sure I eat before (or after, or both), etc.
Got my new computer in late August. Frickin love it. Though at the front desk it gets mightily boring. Ah well, I get homeworks done, and also it helps I work the 9am-noon shifts on Mon Wed. Get a lot of packages to log and such.
Watched a lot of good movies since August: Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, Zach and Miri Make a Porno, I Am Legend, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Cloverfield, Speed Racer, and more. WALL-E comes out next week, so buying it. And for Xmas I plan on buying all the seasons of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Yay.
My brother's still living at home. Though for two days he did live somewhere else, but things got complicated and such. Now my brother's concentrating on finding a better job so he can go to the Tech in the fall. I'm happy for him, just hope things work out.
Oh yeah, Obama won. So happy about that. Let's get some change in this damned nation! Gas prices have been pleasing me too, like $2.19 here and $1.99 in Appleton. Awesome.
Now for the big news:
Yup, that's right. Kemp and me are dating. As if you didn't see that one coming.
Things are going great, after 4 years of friendship it worked out really well. He's my penguin. ^_^
Which brings me to the next thing:
Past 2 months I've been worried shitless about where I'll be once I graduate. Just been applying for jobs like a mofo, and decided this: no matter what I am going to try my damndest to stay in Eau Claire for Kemp's sake. With this shitty economy, I've had a rough time trying to find a job related to my major and minor. If I don't, the plan is to stay in Eau Claire, find a place to live, and find a regular job, as scary as that sounds. Until I can land a real job that is. Might take a few months, a year, few years, who knows. And grad school won't be for a while either. Yes, I've thought about it, for urban planning. We'll see where my future leads me. Luckily, I may have a lead on this one job for Xcel Energy in Eau Claire. It is a GIS job, hells yeah! I am crossing my fingers on it, it's entry-level, they have training provided for their programs they work with, and pays decent for starting: $13.50-14 an hour. If I get that, I. Will. Be. Estatic. Also need to start lookin for a place to live too. *sigh* So much stress!
Concerts I've been to this semester: In Flames and All That Remains Wednesday night. I plan on seeing AC/DC with my parents on the 23rd, then Mudvayne, 10 Years and Snot on the 29th with Kemp. Gonna be epic with Mudvayne!
So...I think that's about it. I'll def try to update this thing more, I've noticed no one else has been. Life is good for me. About to start a new chapter in life (post-college), with a new president, and the greatest guy I could have by my side. Love it.
Laters!
