Whew.
Wow. I havent updated in a while. I hope all of you are doing well. I am, for the most part. I am exhausted lately though. Lemme go throw the past weeks, you'll understand why.
So last weekend was well our trip to Bend. It was for my Aunt and Uncles 30th Anniversary. It was great. I love Bend. It such a break from the world I know as Portland. It was great for breathing room that I needed. We went down on that Saturday...not a bad drive. Then of course I start to drive about Madras and it starts snowing, big time. But it was good, we got to our hotel with a light dusting. I love snow. So peaceful. So Bend and snow made my weekend. We went to the party, had food, drinks, what not. Me and kevin decided to ditch early. Mind you, I dont know my way around Bend. I knew where I was going, and direction, just not how to get there. So after getting about half way to Redmond and sliding in some snow a little, we realize we totally passes the Hotel. I turn around. We get there its all good. I went to the starbucks and grabbed a nice warm hot cocoa and sat outside watching the clear skies and counting the stars, pure bliss. My parents get home...me and my brother fight over the spare bed. We get up, finally get to my aunts house for breakfast, and got home in time for the Seahawks game. I went to hang with Corey. It was great. We went to the mall then Target, we kicked ass.
So I got my job back at SDS Machining. I make like 12 bucks an hour now so its all good. VERY good. And I started a glass class at Sabin. So my week goes like this: All week except Wednesday get up 6:30 for SSE. Mondays and Wednesdays, work til about 8 or so. Tuesdays and Thursdays class until 6. Fridays off at least...Well nedless to say last week was finals week, not to mention a HUGE Physics packet and the final project in Political Issues so I was burnt. I am glad thats over. I think I got a C+ in physics which would make me mad, but right now I can't complain.
I finally turned in my application to OSU. That's right, Ian is planning on going to OSU. I am hoping my decent GPA and fairly good SAT scores will slide me in. But no one can really be sure, I am just waiting for the letter. Meagan got into OSU so its really good.
So this weekend was the greatest. 3 day weekend was the best...I really needed that. Friday night was well...nothing much. We worked on the lounge...more about that later. Saturday people were in and out, like always. Tony spent the night. But that was after the great night of bowling! I went with Trash Head and H-mac. They both dont compare to Boats just so you all know.
"HANDS UP!"
So then Sunday was hanging out. Corey came over, he met the gang then got skooled at Super Smash Brothers. I rape with Kirby just so you all know...We watched "Cracker Jack'd (lamest movie, ever.) Then today I went to the Skills Competetion where I got second in Machining and ate pizza. Then I went to work, which wasn't bad, but I wanted out early tonight, so I left after like 5 hours.
So. The lounge you say? Ok here we go. We are in the process of turning the garage into a lounge for us guys. We got quite a few posters out there, some kick ass goodwill chairs, some flags, etc. etc. Its a reather cool place to hang. Corey showed us all up on the guitar out there, he is really good. Better than me...but just barely.
Well that pretty much sums up my last two weeks..oh here's some photos from my trip you might like:
