The new year has arrived, Christmas has passed, and school has started up once again. Things in my life could barely be better. I thoroughly enjoyed my Christmas break this year. For once I had not a one responsibility except to visit with my friends, party hard, and survive a trip with my family to one of the greatest places on earth, VEGAS BABY! My trip to Vegas was one of the greatest in my life. I have been all over the world, and seen many spectacular things, but I would have to admit that Vegas just might be heaven on earth. In one city there is all night gambling, clubs that do not close at two, beautiful people everywhere you look, and free liquor! (not that liquor is needed to have fun, but you know) Even though that I had to spend a majority of time with my father, things went quite well. Speaking of my dad, he is a completely different person when you get him into a casino. For the first time in many, many years he and I got along. Not once during the entire trip did he bring up my faults or my failures. Instead, we talked about the good times, women, life in general, and where we were going to win some money as Team Kwiatkowski. Laugh if you will, but for once I felt that I had a friend in my dad. Now as excited as I got, once we left Vegas things went back to normal. Oh well, it is the little things that make us happy I suppose.
School this semester is looking to be pretty good. It starting quite poorly, finding out that the school had cancelled two of my important classes for lack of enrollment. Kind of hard to take Physics without the lab course that goes along with it. Needless to say I was unhappy with the school, but as things tend to do, they worked themselves out. I got re enrolled into the two classes, despite having to take a Tuesday night lab class at 6-8. Yuk. As it stands I am in class from 8-1 on MWF and 12-2 6-8 on T. Not bad really for I do have Thursdays off. As for class quality, I feel that I will be able to get another 4.0 this semester. None of my classes seem like they are going to provide much trouble, except maybe psychology. I say this only because I am unsure of what to expect out of my teacher who apparently gives really hard tests. I only took the class as a filler for a time slot, so lets hope that it does not bring me down. If all goes well this semester, I should be able to enroll into LSU by next fall, at least that is the plan. If it works, I finally will have my life back together with hopes of a decent future. If not, there is always a need for custodial engineers :) I could be the most pimpin janitor that Baton Rouge has ever seen! Ahhh, hopes and dreams.
Apart from school and family strife, social issues in my life are quite low. I have been having good days for some time now. I find myself happy and content which is always a bonus when starting back in school. I am confident in myself and my abilities. I'm enjoying going out with my friends, have been to some great parties, and I am planning a hopefully outstanding vacation back to Purdue in April. The only thing that I am missing in my life would be a job and maybe a steady female influence. I have put my application in at about a dozen or so places of employment around my apartment, so hopefully something will come of that. As for the woman thing, I don't really know what to do about that. I have met some really nice girls lately, and some that were quite attractive. Who knows, maybe the tides are turning for me in that area...
All right, enough said for the moment. I have class in the morning, so I do not need to stay up all that late. But of course, I am not sleepy. What is a man to do?
PEACE OUUUUUUUUT!
