Fresh post! Come and get it!
I haven't posted in quite some time. There's plenty to post (and boast) about, I just dont really have that sort of time, mostly because I've been working with a really slow computer until just recently. I just dont have the patience for that. ...So thanks for the newer one, mom!
Ok...so... A rundown:
Mel and I, living in Dad's other house, with Greta the Dog and 4 cats. We both have been inspired by Flip That House, so we are slowly making inexpensive changes to make this house look and feel less 1970s. 2 days ago I painted over the cheap paneling in the downstairs den. The day before that, Mel worked her strong-as-an-ox ass off painting the ceiling, and we primed the walls. Home life is GREAT- who would have ever thought I would change my alcoholic barfly ways!
School is going well- all A's last semester. It starts on Monday. This semester's schedule sounds pretty intimidating: pre-cal algebra, Biology 2, Western Civ 2, and Chem 1...but I am excited about it. It might kick my ass, but I am ready for the challenge.
I have, however, had a change of plans concerning my majors. Ideally I would like to major in both anthropology and biology...but that just isnt plausible if I am going to get out of school within this decade. So. I'm majoring in anthropology for sure (all 36 hrs left- I havent taken 1 ANTH course!) and minoring in Biology (13 hrs left in the field, about 12-20 that I have to take to get my pre-reqs down.) If I was to major in biology too, I'd have 71+ hrs left to complete in that field alone. So I'm gonna hit it hard in the summers and hopefully get it done in 2.5 years.
Just after Halloween I quit Sakura, where money and people were good but business was badly run, to work at Michaels in the picture framing dept for high stress and low wagemonkey pay. I really wish that I hadnt been hating Sakura so bad because I miss everyone there, and now it's like I dont have any friends or people to even talk to at work. I dont talk to anyone at Michaels, nor do I want to, mainly because I think they'd all talk about me behind my back because I'm gay. They are not my kind of people, fo sho. Plus, I am wayyyy underpaid for the work I do. ...But it is interesting learning how to frame, and it's a great skill to have and great having the experience, I'm sure. There's money in it if you dont work for the Man.
There's plenty more, surely, but that's the main stuff. I'm amp'd about life- isn't it great?!
