Back to the old stomping grounds... [Apr. 1st, 2009|10:18 pm]
[Current Location |Laptop]
[mood |better then before]
[music |History stuff...]

So I get a phone call last week (thursday) from my old boss Nancy. She had some questions about what was happening in the storage unit and asked if I could remember, and while we were talking she offered to pay me $50 a show (for six shows) to do Danny the Dolphin down at Bank Atlantic Center for Disney on Ice. I only got to do one show because Danny isn't a disney character. When I went back into the office to return the costume and get my $50, the head manager in the office, Mike, asked if I could go with him to storage to show him what was up, and of course, I did... While we were there I was given an interesting offer.

Mike:
"So are you available for the next 30 days? I've got a deadline of clearing this place out and emptying out Units and no one knows them like you do. You'll get paid and will be working directly with me on the project. You wont even have to go into the office if you don't want to."

Seth:
"Not have to go into the office? Same pay as before? Yeah, sure, I'm in."

So i'm back to making what I did before, and I'm back to a semi-normal schedule. Why is this a good thing? I'll explain.

I have spoken to a few friends that I did band with. We all agreed on the same thing. We were all way more productive when we did Band then not. I used to have band, work, school, and then homework. I only had so much time to do homework because of the other activities, and I would get my stuff done. This was consistant through this last november, untill I quit. Now that I'm back, I already feel a little bit better about myself, and I'm actually doing something with my time.

Does this change my distaste towards German? Absolutely not. I couldn't care less about the stupid class. But i feel a little bit better about my self. And i'm hopeing the little bit of consistacy that working will bring me will straighten out a lot of other things in my life.

The other major concern right now is my senior year. There's an excellent change I won't be doing marching band if I want to get my Double Major/Minor. I am so back and forth between marching and not marching though. Not marching is another one of those things that takes away the consistancy that I have. I will have a stupid busy schedule regardless, but I know i'm going to miss band so much. I also understand that I won't have band the rest of my life... But it's an option for one more year, and I don't know if I can pass it up or not. Chris Hand is marching Piccolo, so I know i won't be by myself. And I wont let him be by himself, but we'll see. That's a major decision I have to make.

And it seems like Neil will be moving in with us to replace Jason. It'll be nice having a roomate again. I haven't seen Jason in close to 3 months. I've tried contacting him but I don't get responses. He's busy, so I understand, but yeah, I live in a 4 bedroom apartment and only 3 rooms are filled. Next year is going to be quite interesting to say the least...

I have a German presentation I should be working on... We'll see..

Motivation... [Mar. 30th, 2009|08:17 pm]
[Current Location |Laptop]
[mood |questionable]
[music |Big Bang Theory]

I've lost it... i don't know where it has gone, and I would really like it back... But I don't know how to do that.... But my motivation is gone.

Its not about my History classes either. Those are fine. German... FUCKING German is killing me slowly but surely. I really want to learn the language, but i DESPISE the class... ugh.

I feel like something is wrong inside of me. I supressed it for a while, but I don't know if it is working anymore... I'm not depressed, i'm not angry, i'm not being anti-social, but something isn't right. Back in the day i would take this out on my iPod and a 2.8 mile path i had laced out at my moms. My back won't let that happen, but an Eliptical will... I need to start running on one of those regularly.

My plan to jump right into my masters program is slipping through my fingers, but I like the plan that is replacing it. When I get my degree i'm going to teach high school. This will give me the break I need from my own academia and still keep up on History. After some time there, hopefully I can talk the county into paying for my Masters, and cotinue from there. I really think if I don't get a break, i'll lose the enjoyment I have for History, and that would be no good.

Just a lot of random crap going on, and running through my head. I dunno, maybe i'll update a little more in detail later.

Inconsistantcy... [Feb. 21st, 2009|03:32 pm]
[Current Location |Laptop]
[mood | uncomfortable]

I'm really inconsistant with a lot of things in my life... This LJ being one of them. I'll start where I left off...

Chicago was an excellent trip. I was totally right when I said it would be really different then any other trip i've gone on to the Windy City. With my cousin Katie not being able to do much, it was a lot more home time than going out. We stayed with my grandparents a lot, played a lot of cards, watched TV, and reconnected with the family that we get to see but twice a year. The whether was cold and hot and cold and windy and not windy and sunny and gray and cloudy and clear and it was a mess. Not the easiest thing to dress for, but that's ok. And as usual, I've fallen in love with the city that houses me twice a year even more. This is really a problem considering I live in Florida.

I have been without a job since I left Dr. Kawa's office. I feel like this has also lead to a lot of inconsistancy. I'm so used to a crazy, regimented schedule that now with all of the free time I have, i'm not doing anything. I hate it. I'm in such need of something to fill the time, but not much is available. I want to apply on campus. Maybe with Campus Rec. I was talking to a friend about it, and it seems like it would be easy enough. They generally don't hire untill the beginning of the year. If i could get a library or office or bookstore job I would be fine with that as well. Nice thing about campus jobs is when Campus is closed, i am free.

School has been a bit of a mess as well. I slept through a test so I had to drop my Roman Civ course. I am so beyond pissed about this I can't even put it in words. As hard as last semester was, no matter wht happened, I was there and made sure that things were done, and now i'm sleeping through tests? No, something is wrong. I need to figure it out. So this semester should be fairly easy, now that I'm minus my harder class. I'm still really mad about it. I will now be taking multiple courses over the summer to make up for it... Kinda mad. Aside from that, the courses I am taking now, aside from German, i'm enjoying. This basketball season went really quickly with the Pep band. We're not going to Arkansas like we did Mobile last year, but that's ok. I'm taking a trip up to tally at the beginning of Spring Break instead.

As for the rest of my life... I've felt so uncomfortable the last couple of weeks. Uncomfortable with myself and the way thigns are going. I feel like i've betrayed myself and I don't know how to fix it. I want to fix it so badly. I'm going to go and talk to Marsha, they lady who came and talked to the family when my dad was passing away. Maybe she'll be able to bring something out of me that i'm missing. Being uncomfrotable within your own skin is such a bad feeling though. I'm geting acupuncture therapy for my back, which feels great and relaxes me, but when that wears off, i'm back to bleh... ugh. I'll figure it out.

Anyway... Random Stuff
-- Confucianism and Human Rights is actually a fun course. My teacher is helping me with my paper, and he's going to be my Senior Seminar teacher as well, so hopefully I can prove something with this semester.
--I have a concert tonight. I usually have some sort of nervous feeling going into it. I'm actually pretty calm right now. I hope It's a good performance, not just for me but for the group as well.
--I can't wait to hang in Tally for a couple of days. It's been a while since i've been there, and I get to see Andrew's place before he moves. Hopefully there's a good party while I'm up. The one being planned would be awesome.
--My turtles, who'm i love tremendously, are getting huge. To the point where i may get rid of them because it's ridiculous for them to live in a small tank like this. I keep debating, and can't make up my mind...story of my life.
--As much as I want to get my masters, I can't decide if I want to take a break for a few years and teach high school and maybe have the county pay for my Masters. I don't want to lose my drive, but I don't know how much more I can take. I feel like if I'm losing control of everything now, maybe the break would be good for me. There is no doubt that I will get my masters and continue on from there, but i don't know if losing my momentum will happen if I take that break... We'll see.
--I've missed my dad a lot the last couple of days. This happens every once and a while. It comes and goes, but the last couple of days has been a little rough. I need to get myself in check...


Anyway. I have to go get dressed for the basketball game/concert tonight. Should be a long night. I'll let you know how it goes.

Later dayz,

Whoa life! [Dec. 21st, 2008|01:21 am]
[Current Location |Laptop]
[mood |indescribable]
[music |Television]

Oh so much has happened since i've updated last.

My life has been a rollercoaster since the middle of November...So lets start there.

Turns out I put my two weeks in, and work agrees to it, but extends it indefinitely. After extending my two weeks notice indefinitely, they decide not to give me a christmas bonus becuase of my "lack of production." I flip out, quit, and haven't been back since. It was sad to say my goodbye's to everyone, but at the same time, my legacy in that place was long gone, so it was time that leave. I really couldn't belive he question my productivity though. I worked their by myself for 3 months over the summer, when i originally had between 3-5 at all times. I trained everyone, set up every system for fileing that place has, and i'm not productive enough. Whatever, forget you Dr. Kawa -- I hope you figure it out soon though, or you won't have much of a practice left.

The end of the Month saw a really awesome Thanksgiving break. I turned 21 and had a really awesome party the night before Thanks Giving. Andrew flew in, which made my week. Thanks Giving was excellent this year. I don't know what made it so special, but I had a very nice time. Good times with Family and Friends -- no complaints. The next night a few of my friends and a bunch of Justin's went down to Howl at the Moon, which was an amazing dueling piano bar in Ft. Lauderdale. I would explain a lot of the night, but after the first hour it's all kind of blury and would fill about 16 pages, i'll save you the trouble. It was an awesome night, that was followed by a miserable practice and football game the next morning. We ended up beating FIU in overtime -- which of course, made us Bowl eligiable.

After sitting and waiting for a week or so, we find out that we've been accepted to the Motor City Bowl in Detroit. Long story short, the University can't afford for the band to go on the trip -- So i get to go to chicago (which i leave for on Monday).

That's the long story short...

Things have been really rocky among all of this. My grades ended up just fine, but I have never been so stressed through the end of a semester. I was so past the point of caring, that I didn't study as well for my exams as i should have. The funny thing is, I actually studdied my ass off for my German exam, and bombed in, and studied not nearly as much for my others and did just fine. I bought Rosetta Stone -- hopefully it helps. It's actually a really amazing program. I've also decided that I really want to attend FSU for my masters. It's an excellent program, which my favorite Professor attended for his PhD (and he said he'd write me a letter of Recomendation), and I would love to follow in those footsteps. And an amazing group of my friends is up there as well. I really want this program to accept me. It's a good motivation for the next 3 or so semesters. WIsh me luck!

My relationship is so on the fritz its ridiculous. I'm doing my best to try to keep it, but the candle has been burning at both ends for WAY to long. I don't know how much I have left. I'm really trying though. I just... I think that's the most frustrating thing this last month. I can get through a semester, I can get through quiting my job, all of that is fine. But I can't fix my relationship... I miss my relaitonship Junior year of high school... big time.

It's been really amazing to have everyone home for the break thus far. Not a ton has happened, but what has happened has been fun. It's always good to have Andrew home. Rick, Mike, and Nick have been regulars so far which is excellent. I'm looking forward to the rest of the break with them when I get home. Leah just got home today, and she'll be home a lot longer then everyone else so I'll get to hang with her a lot as well. Kayla, Chelsey, her brother Mike, Alex Michael, Ben, Jo Jo... It's been a lot of fun having everyone around.

But the most exciting part of my winter break is usually my trip to Chicago. It'll be a much different trip this year. My cousin Katie will finsh her radiation treatment on the 24th, so that leaves two days of just my brother, myself, and my grandparents. This is actually really nice. But I just think this trip is going to me much more family oriented, not Chicago oriented. Again, this should be a nice change. But as I've stated so many times, I fall in love with that city more every time I go. I really think my future is there, but we'll see how life unfolds.

That's a really quick, and not very detailed story so far.

"Aww... The Denver Bronco's..." [Nov. 9th, 2008|10:52 pm]

[mood | nervous]
[music |Television]

So i'm putting in my notice tomorrow (monday -- 11/10/2008) at Kawa's office. I'm actually nervous. I think it's the right decision. I think it's going to take a lot of stress out of my life. No more complaining about work -- it'll give me time to study going into exams at times I would normally be working -- and its a step forward in my life. Andrew commented best, to be working from freshman year of high school to retirement is stupid.

If I can find some sort of desk job or fileing job in the History department I may go with that. That job has relevance, not being a file clerk that doesn't file in an orthodontic office.

But for some reason, I will miss it there. I love the people, and i've got close to 6 years of great memories. With one door closing, another shall open.

And thus..another entry. [Aug. 21st, 2008|11:14 pm]
[Current Location |Laptop]
[mood | discontent]
[music |Television]

So between Chicago and Band camp, i've missed over two weeks of work, and I honestly could care less. Haha, not caring about work is quite cool.

I'm a little discontent (as you can see with my "mood") with band though. So as I said before, I didn't get drum major. I'm a little more bitter about that, but for different reasons. I'm not stuck as Librarian (the biggest bitch job you can get in band) and am the only flute player this season, which means i'm stuck on piccolo... So i'm stuck in a position of leadership that I don't want, playing an instrument that I don't like. I'm actually looking forward to this year though... Hah, i'm such an idiot.

I do have a real issue though. It's not band, it's not work, it's the city of Chicago. I can't handle how much i love the city. I can't stress how much I feel the need to live there. Whether it's law school or some sort of post-grad degree, i've gotta spend extended time there, not just ten days. I'm counting down the 4 months untill i go back. As for the trip, we had a blast. I got to see the Cubs beat the Cards, I toured Wrigley Field, I saw a Second City production (hilarious as usual) and got to spend some awesome time with my Family. My cousin Katie is still going through her chemo/radition, and hopefully all that works out. I'm seeing it as her being healty and this is just a stump in the road.

So school starts Monday. I've got a hard schedule but I'm really excited. I'm sad that summer is ending. I had such an amazing summer. I can't thank my friends enough for all the fun we had. Between Andrew and Rick alone i laughed a ton. All the trips I went on, the classes, the Band Camp, the work, it was all an awesome balance.

Alright, that may be incoherent but that's ok, I may be incoherent at this point. More BC tomorrow.

Shwat?! [Jul. 24th, 2008|12:25 am]
[mood | tired]
[music |ESPN]

So i saw "The Dark Knight" for a second time...and it was just as amazinga s the first time. Check out Rick's entry for a good synopsis and analysis.

I've never felt so sure about how much I don't want to go to work tomorrow. It's really rediculous. They're gonna keep me on for my 12 hours a week and hire somone full time when I go back to school. I hope that once i'm down to 12 hours as opposed to averaging 32 things will get better. But i've never been so miserable there. Today wasn't so bad, but overall, awful. We'll see, kinda pissed about the whole situation.

I'm having, minus work, and amazing summer. Between all my travels, and friends, and girlfriend, and school and such, i have no complaints. I think this next trip to Chicago, being a family oriented trip, will kind of be a pivital moment thought. Something always happens when we go up for our family. There's always a fight, always something. My cousin causes a lot of drama, and my younger cousin is sick. But with the awesome summer i'm having now, and as long as Katie is ok, i think even with a little drama this trip will be fine. The day i get home i start Band Camp, and then school starts.

I'm really excited for school. I've got more credits then i'm used to, but i've got some cool classes. I'm still kind of dull on the idea of Marching Band, but I think once i get onto the field and start re-learning my stuff my feelings will change. I'm not gonna do Orchestra, not yet, and that leaves me with marching. It'll be fun, I think i'm just psyching myself out.

June and July have been excellent, and i look forward to August being just as awesome. I shall keep you up to date.

Chi-town in a few weeks =)

Life can be funny. [Jul. 18th, 2008|12:27 am]
[mood | curious]
[music |ESPN]

So my grandmother just booked my flight up to Chicago with Justin this time. Again i'm really excited, but this means a few more things than normal. Firstly, it could very well mean the end of my Job. I will be in the midwest for 10 days, and then come back right in time for Band Camp. After band camp, i would be switching to my 12 hour a week schedule instead of my 32 hour a week schedule, which they're already unhappy with. And this made me think, with all the unhappiness i've had with the place lately, maybe its my time to leave Kawa's office. Yes, i've left before, but I had another job to jump into. With this leave, i go into the unemployed category. I don't mind. Maybe i can get a job in the History Department? we'll see.

This is also gonna be well into my Cousin's treatments. It kinda scares me, but i know she's fine right now, so that's good. But i'm a lot more of a family man than i thought i was. I'm willing to put my two weeks in to go see my family in Chicago for ten days. I'm seeing Mama Mia for my grandfather because he wants to (he likes the musicals, i don't blame him).

Anyway, onto cooler stuff.
-Dark Knight came out tonight, i'm seeing it in the afternoon with Justin.
-The allstar break is over, so I get Baseball back.
-My turtles are super cool.
-I've got an amazing urge to re-read the harry potter books. I was watching Order of the Pheonix last night, and was quite upset realizing how much detail was left out, and i feel i must relearn all of it. So we'll see how long that takes. Especially with an afternoon plane ride to chicago, i'm not gonna be able to sleep the whole flight like i usually do.
-I've got an urge to go to a Marlins game (not against the cubs). Anyone interested?
-I'm getting tickets to the Linkin Park concert tomorrow. I'm excited.
-School starts in a little more then a month (and yes, that's a good thing).

Go Cubs!
Go Batman! (and Joker!!)

Flipendo!! [Jul. 17th, 2008|01:13 am]
[mood | pleased]
[music |Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix]

So i moved into a really awesome place back at the end of May. David has moved down to Miami, and Dungross has seen it's last days. I've got two new roomates however. Rob and Jason are two very cool people. This apartment has a very different feel to it. It's a much nicer place. It's a 3 story town house with an excellnt location. Minus parking, the place is great. I'm in the master bedroom, which is so cool it's ridiculous. New memories will be made here, and i've always got the dungross memories to fall back on if need be.

This summer has been really different than any of the other summers i've had in a long time. You always want the "best summer ever," and i'm not saying that this one is the "best sumer ever," but at the same time, i've had an absolute blast. I've reconnected with some old friends, reconnected on a new level with my girlfriend, i've got an awesome new place, and i've realized a lot of things:

1) I enjoy school a lot. Granted, once I'm taking classes i love the breaks, but not being in classes is kind of boring. I really like the History courses. I feel very passionate about them, and whether i go down the legal path of the teaching, i feel that things will be great in my future, as long as i keep my grades up.

2) My passion for music is going greatly. I think i'm more upset about not getting Drum Major then i let out, but, for whatever the reason is, I didn't get it, and that's fine. But I think my urge to play (and the time i get to spend with amanda among my many friends in band) is what's keeping me marching, not the band itself. I'm going to e-mail the conductor of the orchestra and see how she feels about a non-major.

3) Chicago is an amazing place, and i could really see myself living there in the future. The future being after my mom has passed away and i've finished with my degree's and what not. Other factors involved, but i totally love it there. Living there would be just flat out amazing.

Among other things that aren't worth going into here. Ontop of all of the realizations, i'm having fun. Work is shitty, but it makes coming home and being with people so much better.

I've gotta be at work at 7 hours, so I'm gonna go to bed.

Go Cubs Go!!

Long time no see.. [Jul. 16th, 2008|10:30 am]
[Current Location |Laptop]
[mood |Thinking]
[music |ESPN]

It's been a while, and a lot has been going on.

I am well into my summer and it has been awesome thus far. I got an A- in my history course and a B- in my math class, which is excellent. My grades were awesome the last year, and hopefully i can continue to make this be the case through the rest of my college experience. I'm still a history major, but i've decided to take it down the legal track. I figure i'm gonna take my LSAT and see how i do. If i do well enough to get into a good school, i will absolutely go. If i don't. I'll take a year or two, teach, and then go to get my masters. I also think im taking more of an American History route, as opposed to the European route i was going to take. It's kinda funny and all of sudden, but it was one day and I just decided that i wanted to change...so i did. I've got a full course load for fall, including Marching Band, which i'm very iffy about. I keep flipping back and forth. I really wanna do orchestra, but if i do that gives me 18 credits, and i've never taken more than 13, so its either Marching Band or Orchestra. I'll probably stick with Marching Band, we'll see.

I've been kinda miserable at work the last couple of weeks. I kinda can't handle being the only person in the department when i could use four other people to do my job. It's awful because you not only have your filing responsibilites, but a ton of people making you their bitch and running around all over the place. And ontop of it I've got a mess of a storage unit that (unfortunately) won't clean itself. I'm making great money though, and I love the people there. I need somebody to help me, and they won't give it to me. I'm really close to giving them an ultimatium, either part time help or training someone new. Yet again, we'll see.

Andrew and I had an awesome time in Chicago. The O's took the series, but two of the three games were really good. The bleachers are amazing in Wrigley. The weather was awesome, the city was awesome, my family (minus my sick cousin) was awesome, and just being in the city again was awesome. We took an archetecture tour, and it made me appreciate Chicago more than i did before. I got us lost about 234092384023984 times, but i had fun none the less.

Amanda and I are doing great. I am so happy that I got a second chance and being with her. No matter what happens, the second shot was a good thing. We have been together a lot of the summer, except for my travels, and we've gone to Orlando a few times. Things are great, i'm super happy.

I won't make this too long. Things are good, i'll try to keep it consistant (lol).

Go Cubs!!

Drum Major [Mar. 27th, 2008|12:13 am]
[Current Location |Laptop]
[mood | sleepy]
[music |ESPN]

I had a really good time being a competitive drum major in high school. Not only did we win our division in state, but i got to stand infront of thousands of people and lead my band into competition, and make it happen.

Now i'm hopefully going to be leading FAU's Fighting Owl Marching Band onto the many fields we will be marching on. The difference this time is the compeition. I've got more than one person trying out for the position, some of which i'm assuming are music majors. I've got the experience, and i'm determined to do it. It would be a lot of fun to stand in front of the Owl fans and conduct our marching band in the stands and on the field.

And if i don't get it, i fall back to my original plan, march for my second year and enjoy myself just like i did last year.

Wish me luck!!

[music |Dance Crew]

I really should have done homework...but i didn't...oh well. I'll just be crazy busy the next two days.. i like to think i'm better under pressure anyway..

So... Alabama. It was really bittersweet. As previously stated, i wanted to go home, which i got to on monday, as i wanted. But when it came down to it, we lost in such a terrible way that it wasn't fair that we had to leave. Fans of the other teams in our conference were booing the calls we were getting it was so terrible. My back really hurt the entire trip, but we had a really good time in the boring city of Mobile Alabama.

Snap Back to Reality!
I get back home and realize i've got a ton of stuff i have to deal with. A test, a paper, a living situation, and reality. It was good to be back and see my family and my girlfriend. But after the hello's and how was the trip conversations...it was back to work, school, and life. My FSU, UF, UCF, and USF friends were all in town, so i got to see a lot of people, but not nearly as much as i would have liked.

I got screwed by US HIstory test. The papers weren't so bad, but i need to get my ass in gear. Just in general. WIth school, with my weight loss, with everything. I want more from myself, so i plan on doing it. As for the living situation. I should know this week what the story is. I'll keep you updated.

Reality is tough. I've got an amazing girlfriend, an awesome family (even though i get really frustrated with them), and a stable job. At the same time, all these things are tough, and have to take second place to school sometimes, which, like tonight, didn't happen. It's time to get on the ball, and show what i can really do. It's time for bed though, i've got a long rest of the semester ahead of me, that i've gotta take day by day. I've got a leadership application to fill out, some more papers to write and some more tests to study for.

Alabama [Mar. 9th, 2008|03:47 am]

[mood | discontent]

So i'm in Alabama, finishing out my spring break here for the Sun Belt tournament. I'm having a good time, but I feel like i would much rather be home... For a few reasons.

--I miss amanda tremendously. We went to Disney and had an awesome time. We've been apart for a few days and i miss her a ton. Things are working out really well, and i love that that's the case, for now atleast things are great, and i'll go with that.
--All my friends are home for spring break, and i'm not... which sucks. I wanna hang with them. Instead i'm gonna have to study like and not be able to do anything.
--Mobile, Alabama isn't a real city...
--Apparently my drivers liscence is suspended, because the state of florida is stupid, so i really wanna get that taken care of.


I don't wish that our team loses, but the sooner they do, the sooner i get home. I'm still chearing hard, GO OWLS!, but getting home monday would be much better than tuesday or wednesday...And if we win the tournament we go to March madness.... awesome. Maybe another late night post tomorrow night. Happy Spring Ahead!!

I want to be in undergrad. It's kinda funny. I just realized...i've been in graduate school this entire time.

My brother, who will be entering his masters program, has been studying like he's getting his PhD for the last year and a half. And David is actually in med school. I've thrown two parties since i've been in the apartment. Both of them were fun, but only two. I haven't really gone to too many parties since college either. I don't wanna trasnfer, i really like FAU. But i wanna be in undergrad..

I haven't been up to orlando since this summer, and Amanda and I have a 3 day trip set to go up at the beginning of my Spring Break. I absolutely cannot wait.

To top it off, it's disney, which i haven't been to since hurricane wilma-ish.

Oh So long it has been. [Feb. 5th, 2008|01:25 am]

So many things going on lately I don't know where to start.


School has been really stressful but going really well. I love my classes, except for interpretation of drama, but it fills the requirements so it's okay. I really enjoy being a History major. I feel like i am not only learning a ton of stuff that i really enjoy, but i'm decent at it. I was originally doing Biology, and was going to be a dentist, but now that i've dipped into the history major i wouldn't change back for anything. I really want a minor, i keep telling myself to look into music, and i'm really considering it, but i just don't think i have the time. I really love music though. I don't really consider band a class. I know they're gonna make me take vocal classes though, and i really can't sing to save my life. I'll look into it, see what i can do, and go from there. I really like FAU. I was gonna do the whole transfer after two years thing, but i really don't feel like i need to. I'll stick with the going up and visit deal, and enjoy what I've got here.

(Side Note: I got my car back in the beginning of January. it's not quite the same, but it's still awesome none the less)

I'm really happy that i've expanded my social base at FAU. Joining the band was a good idea in the long scheme. I've met some really awesome people, and i can't imagine what school would be like if i didn't. Not only that but being back with Amanda has made things so much better. Things are so good with her right now, different than they were, but SO much better. (I love her, and it's awesome). But at the same time, i feel like i haven't seen my old friends. The people that live at home, Dilan, Jeff, Becca, Sabine, the people who really picked me back up whe Amanda and I weren't together. I need to see them more consistantly. And the people who have gone away that I really wanna see. Andrew, Ben, Neil, Jessica Darby, Salvette, Ricky, all the people that i get to see when they come home, but even then it's not a lot. Those people are just a few among many, but i wish i got to see a little bit more of them. I'm gonna try to make that happen.

Random things that have happened since i've posted last.
--Went to New Orleans for the bowl game
--FAU won - the only team in the state to do so (miami couldn't even make a bowl, fuckers)
--Went to Chicago again. I fall in love with that city every time i go there. I wanna get a degree up there, whether it's my masters or my Ph D.
--I saw the dolphins win their only game this season (sorry Andrew), then watched FAU win their bowl game, and then saw the Bears beat the Saints in Chicago.
--I'm in the Basketball Pep Band which is tons of fun (We may be going up to Alabama, kinda up in the air right now)
--I got a raise, and my pay checks aren't complete shit anymore, but i'm still broke.
--I haven't seen nearly as many movies as I would have liked to, but the ones I have seen have been pretty cool.
--Winter Break was great, can't wait for Spring break
--I'm going to a nutritionist to start eating better and not being a complete fat ass (and it's not andrew's mom, who now has a facebook.)
--We've discovered that the Orioles are playing the Cubs in Wrigley... we're going to that game.
--My Laptop died and I lost just about everything. I found a program that will put music from my iPod to my laptop but it won't work cause it sucks. if you can help let me know.
--I really wanna go on a date. Not just dinner with amanda, but a date. Dress up nice and talk about each other and see a movie after and cuddle and all that jazz... a date. that hasn't happened in a while.


I've subjected you to more than enough of my life for now. Congrats if you've read through that entire madness.
