Long time no type...
Its been a long time since I have decided to make an update. Probably most of you thought that I wasn't going to type anything more than just very minor posts or if even that. It has been over a year since I have made a meaningful post, so I decided to just type out an overview of what has been going on in my life. Or at least so far:
I am currently working for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (Or Re-Offender is probably a better name for it) at California State Prison - Sacramento. I work at new side of Folsom Prison, made famous by Johnny Cash and all of that. I have been working there for the better part of a year and despite some situational frustrations, I have liked it a lot. I worked in maintaining their legal files, handling all of the paperwork for inmates who were transferring to another prison and handling the nine-month process of paroling the inmates as well. I also worked with a particular program that if I misused in anyway, it is considered a felony. So, a little responsibility there. ^^ I will also be starting a new job a week from today, working inside of the facility and handling their medical records and all of that fun stuff. Gotta love promotions. So, work is going well right now.
I moved out on my own in late February and have been on my own since then. Spending most of my time and effort rearranging, cleaning and filling up what little space left in my room with my stuff. ^^
I am going back to school for a BA in Teaching and an AA in Music with a focus on singing. I am on the ten year plan basically, taking night classes and get as much as I can done while working full-time. Gotta love not having much of a life, but some of that will come clear why in a little bit. ^^ As irritating as it might be, I plan on continuing my education as long as I can and deem necessary.
I have joined a nearby gym a couple months ago and lost about 30 pounds, which is still a shock to me. I am not used to this feeling for awhile and getting comments like, "Slim, Twigboy and Skinny". That has taken up most of my time, considering I was running about 10-14 miles a week, on top of working a job that keeps be active all day. A lot of that has paid off and I am happy about that. I still have a little more I want to loose before I start bulking up a bit, but I am very happy.
I am currently in North Carolina, visiting my brother and his soon-to-be wife Maggie, which their wedding is set for Saturday. I am the best man in the wedding, so it was kinda necessary for me to be here for that. I won't be back in California til Monday, which I will be starting my new promotion on Thursday. So, life is going very well right now.
The main thing that I have been trying to do is to get back in touch with several people that I haven't talked to in a long time: K-T, Steph, Brandy, Dave, Jon, Cody, etc., just for ol times sake. It has been a long time since I have seen most of those people. If you want to get in touch again, just post back on this or whatever. Though my schedule is really tight right now, I still have plenty of time on the weekends and some evenings.
Well, I think I am going to be heading out in just a little bit for dinner/errands for my brother. So, I hate to leave when I was just starting to type, but oh well. Talk to all soon and hopefully I will post more often now. I am sure most people thought I died or something like that, but I am alive. ^^
Talk to you all later and hope to hear from you all soon.
