And it's been awhile....
Oh Stained. I haven't thought about you for so long. I heard Fade at Buffalo Wing Factory when I was there, and it reminded me how good you can be.
Anyway, sorry I got distracted. Lots of things going on. Lots. I feel like KT Gelderman.
Where to begin? Ok, so an entry or two back I was talking about the State Department hooking me up with a job...well, the news came that they didn't have the budget for it, so I had to bear the loss of what I was so sure was a sure thing and go job hunting again. I had motivation this time; I refused to work any job with a cash register. I ran into General Dynamics, and they were looking for a Junior HR Assistant so I applied, interviewed, and got the job. 11 Dollars and hour to file papers with opportunities for advancement within the field of Defense Contracting. I was like: Sold. Then, they day after I get the offer letter from General Dynamics, the State Department sends me the Security Clearance paperwork I had been waiting on and had assumed would never come. I guess they are still interested in having me and the budget thing ended up working out in my favor. Now I have TWO amazing job opportunities and for once the problem isn't not having a job, but rather which job to choose. I figure, it takes 2 months to process my paperwork at the State Department, so I will hang out at General Dynamics for awhile and see where that takes me. I start work tomorrow, at 8am, which wouldn't be so bad except that...
I have a midterm tomorrow. It's going to be hard. I'm not going to do well. I needed to start studying at 8 o'clock. Because, there's no way I can afford to stay up late tonight studying and still plan on making it to General Dynamics by 8 in the morning. *Sigh* Thus is the full time student + job shittyness everyone is always talking about. Speaking of midterms, I have THREE MORE after this making this the shittiest week I've ever had for midterms in college...ever. This week is going to be terrible...I work Monday and Wednesday and Friday and have to deal with 4 Midterms. I would commit suicide except that...
Over spring break I'm driving down to Daytona Beach with my roommates, and a few other people including (hopefully, please let this work) Kenny Rodgers! We have a NICE NICE hotel that is ocean front and since we are driving we will have access to a car. I can hit bars, I can hit the beach, it should be just the vacation I need after this week. Sounds good right? Yep, it was surprisingly affordable. Oh yeah, I'm 21 now. How about that. I've told several people this already but I'm going to write it here again because I want to remember how I felt: weird. I think it is strange that on Feb. 19th it wasn't OK for me to buy alcohol and then Feb 20th it's all of a sudden LEGAL like something changed and its cool. But nothing changed, except the day, and it still feels a little weird to be walking up to cash registers with alchohol. Weird. Speaking of weird...
www.myspace.com/thehairyboat. Our rap group has finally launched and hit the myspace seen featuring such illustrious members as MC Pakistan, MC Blonde Bombshell, MC Mikey Mo'Beer aside from the usual Destrukto and Poop Dawg ensemble. We have several dedicated members, and the song in my last entry is on there and it is easily my favorite (and I believe our best) song. Check it out, maybe you like it. Kristen has it on her myspace page as her song, c'mon now is that dedication or what?
Oh yeah, Lexi/Alex is learning drums. Me and my Dad (*cough* mostly my Dad) set up a drum set at her apartment. I don't think I've ever seen my Dad so happy. It was kinda creepy. Nah, I kid. But yeah, so that means there's someone with a drum set close by...I'll have to stop by and render my services as an extremely underqualified and extremely part time and extremely free instructor.
I'm so tired right now. I was planning for this to be ridiculously long, and it is certainly getting there, but I think I'm going to attempt to start studying, maybe take a hour nap and see where that takes me.
In other news, Fallout Boy is A-OK because of Dance Dance. That song rocks. Oh, and Goo Goo Dolls: Name is also very good.
For the first time, I feel like I'm moving in a clear direction. I've never felt this happy about my future before. Things are great.
