Ok well I haven't really updated this thing in a while. That's usually the pattern. What's been going on lately? Well so far for the summer I found out that the deadline to apply for spring at UF was in march, so even if I had applied on time, I still wouldn't have been accepted because my GPA in march wasn't much better than it is now. The plan now is to get the GPA up by passing my summer classes, take and pass the CLAST, graduate, and get into UF, then graduate and get a real job. Speaking of a job, they moved me to the tool department at Lowe's. I don't know if I updated about that already or not. It was/is quite an experience, considering that my knowledge of tools is basically limited to where they are located in the store. I do kind of feel like I'm coming into my own a little bit over there though (finally). I'm able to answer 99% of the questions of where certain tools are, and lately I've even been able to answer more than that. As long as the questions don't get too detailed, I'm ok. Luckily one of my coworkers actually is a contractor too, so I ask him questions all the time, and he's really good to learn from. Word on the street is that one of the head cashiers is leaving next month and they want me to take over the posistion. I want that job, cause I already know cashiering, and it would be a promotion. I've never been promoted at a job before. I was supposed to be a manager at UA, but then regal bought it and they transferred and existing manager instead, which fucking sucks because that would have looked really good on a resume. Anyway though, the only thing I'm worried about in getting the head cashier posistion is if the HR manager tries to block it. The regular HR manager is going to the new store they're building here, so the acting HR manager is this lady that hates everyone (the feeling is mutual). Everyone else up front said I'd be good for the job though, so hopefully it will happen. That's about all as far as work and school go. Music is about the same. Some guy in Australia has my same name, and I'm gonna send him some free cd's. That'll be the 2nd time someone in Australia has paid attention to my music. The power of the internet is awesome. My music has been heard in 5 or 6 foreign countries. Not like I'm a superstar or anything but it's awesome to think something I created in my bedroom has the potential to make it around the world. I got an Xbox 360. It's pretty cool. I ended up selling my PSP and using the money from that towards the 360, so in effect it's like I traded in my PSP for a 360. When all was said and done with the PSP money factored in, I ended up getting the 360 premium edition with an extra wireless controller and 3 games for $260. All that stuff retail is over $600, so I think I did well for myself in that department. I softmodded Charlie's original xbox yesterday, it was fun. I'd been wanting to do that for a while. I'm going to Disney World in September! I'm excited, cause it's actually going to be a real vacation. We're staying 2 nights at the all star sports resort. We wanted Pop Century, but it was booked. We ended up getting the passholder rate of $59 per night, which by the way the FL resident rate is the same, in case anyone is planning on going to Disney anytime soon. I'm excited. I need a vacation, everything in my life seems really stressful lately. It will be good to go to Disney and just chill and have fun. Well anyway that's about all that's going on with me lately. Hope everyone is doing ok.
