Ice Cream Truck & 100 posts

    Wooooo, I just got done running down an Ice Cream Truck. I was sitting here, and all of a sudden I heard the music, and I took off, my mom was part way down the stairs and had to jump out of the way as I hurled through the front door and ran bare foot to him. Got a Ninja Turtle Ice Cream Bar with bubble gum eyes!! After I got back, I ask Mom if she wanted anything, and she did, so she handed me a dollar and twenty-five cents, and I took off again. This time he was headed away from me, and I really had to book it to him. I ran on the grass most of the way, then came up behind him. I got her a chocolate eclair and I got a Taz one for my sister for when she gets off work. I'm sweating now, but it was sooooooooooooooooooooooooo worth it, mmmmMMMM, Ice Cream from an Ice Cream Truck is the BEST EVAARRRRR.

    Also, this makes my 100th post using Moveable Type. I have a ton more on my site, but yeah, 100 so far with this.

    Time to enjoy my ice cream.

Day off

    It's tuesday, so it's one of my days off from work. Been pretty lazy, laid in my bed until about 1pm. Woke up lots of times, but fell back asleep. Then watched Good Will Hunting with my mom. Pretty darn good movie, been a long time since I've seen it.

    I need to get to cleaning and organizing my room, my sister, bro-in-law and nephews are coming up on Saturday, and of course, who's room are they going to take.... mine, ::sigh:: I'll probably move my computer into the room I'll be sleeping in, since I tend to stay up late playing games, especially during the weekend.

    A-Kon, an anime convention, is coming up soon. I'll be down in Dallas, Texas for that on June 3rd. This will be the 3rd year in a row that I've gone. It's lots of fun, and interesting things to buy there. Might just buy my another sword, or some nice daggers, who knows. Be going with about 13 other people, biggest load we've taken down there yet. Should be a blast. Oh, and yes, only 3 rooms for 14 people, for those of you that have never been to, or heard about conventions, that's a lot of rooms for that many people, usually cram all that into 2 rooms, sometimes 1, it's not like we sleep that much during the convention anyways, except for that first night. I'll actually be working during part of the convention, I volunteered, and thus made it so I can enter the convention for free, well, free being working 4 hours a day, but yeah.

    Well, I still have my curly moustache, I think I might just keep it until after the convention, then shave it off. It's fun, had some interesting comments here and there. People asking how long I had to grow it out, how I got it to be curly, and various other things, including death threats from more than just my mother.

    I got to get to cleaning now, enough delay.

I'm alive

    Wow, so umm... I haven't posted in awhile... I've been relaxing and enjoying myself, or at least attempting to. Well that, and back to working nearly 40 hours a week at ye ol' movie theatre. 5 days a week for sure. Feels like I've been on the move a lot lately. Oh well. A-kon is just around the corner, so that will be nice to go to for a weekend. Camp is only a week after that though, then nothing major planned.... I don't think anyways.

    My finals went fairly well, so that's good. I feel like I did good on them. I've been thinking of purchasing a laptop for next year, since I'll be taking a lot of computer related classes, it would help a lot to be able to do the thing the prof is writing on the board, and the added mobility is a definate plus. Haven't fully decided whether or not to invest in a laptop yet though.

    That's about all I have at the top of my head at the moment, so.....oooo, I have a curly moustache now, I'll post a link to pictures later today, or tommorrow (really, I promise.... maybe).

    alright, I'm hungry.

Flippant

    Flippant: Marked by disrespectful levity or casualness; pert. This is the description of my attitude towards school based upon my last post, apparently. I strongly disagree with this, however. My attitude is not flippant, but conceding, that is: to acknowledge, often reluctantly, as being true. My last post concerning my grades simply stated what was most likely the outcome, there is nothing I can do at this point besides my finals, and thus I concede to that fact. I will not cause myself to stress over what can not now be done, I will not allow myself to be miserable over what cannot be changed. I will concede to the fact that I could have done better in my classes, that it is possible I could have not slept through a presentation, which happened on accident, that I could have not gotten confused on due dates, that I could have not done poorly on a first test that I expected to be different than what was presented. These things are possible, but what happened happened, and not out of a flippant attitude. If I truely had a flippant attitude, then all my classes would be marked by it, not just 2 classes that I did poorly in, but all 5.

    I do not have the greatest love towards school, as most of the relevant and useful information I know I have learned outside of it. This, however, does not I mean that I don't recognize the importantance that society has placed in it, and with that in mind, I attempt to get A's and B's in my classes. I, myself, have no desire to be at college. I am, however, here because I know that my parents want me to graduate, and for them I am here. What will I do after I graduate? I do not know, most likely I will get a job that I do not enjoy doing who knows what. Perhaps this possible internship will give me a better idea. Interestingly enough, I have a feeling that the type of work I will be doing there will come from the pool of knowledge not learned from school.

    Do I play too many computer game? Most likely I do. Computer games are a place my mind can roam free, where I can communicate with my friends, where I can enjoy challenges and enjoy the beauty that can be created from electronic switches flipping on and off. Computer games are where I can be free and where I can relax and seek enjoyment. I love to make lego movies, and I greatly enjoy working on websites, however, lately I have felt drained, so I haven't spent much time on either of these things.

    I look forward to the coming fall semester, as I will have a roommate once again, and the possiblities of things to come. I'm not completely sure on whether I will for sure be taking summer class, I am currently looking over the course selections to see available times. I need to pick classes at or after 7pm with the possiblity of the internship in mind. I very well might end up adding on a course in the Fall Semester to cover for what I was planning to take during the summer. I'll have that figured out soon enough, I hope.

    Well, I did just get done a little less than an hour ago with my Finance 3113 final exam. I feel I did well on it. There were a few questions that drove me crazy as well as created a brain fart. I definatly made a B, if not an A on it, and I'm leaning towards the fact that I made an A. Only time will tell.

    Now, as my stomach has been growling at me, I will eat my turkey and swish on a croissant with my Sobe Orange Cream Flavored Beverage.

2 Finals Down

    Only 3 finals left for the semester, then sweet freedom for a few months. Had my final at 10am today. I left a message on AIM when I went to sleep: "Sleep adn then final exam at 10am". My plan had been to wake up at 9am, cram for a bit, eat some breakfast and then take the final. This, however, is how it actually happened. I woke up and though to myself, "Ugg, woke up before my alarm again!" then I slowly reached over and picked up my wrist watch to see what time it was: 9:53AM. Now I thought, "Hmmm. Well that sucks." and got up, pulled on some shorts, threw on a shirt socks and shoes, then grabbed my glasses and, of course, my red hat. I walked to the test, sat down, waited about a minute, then the teacher started handing out the final. I took the final in about 20 minutes, then walked back to my dorm, took off my clothes and fell back asleep. No, I don't think I did that great on the final, and no, I don't really care at this point.

    I guess that brings me to my grades for this semester. Not my best job. In the class I just had a final in, I didn't do too good on the mid-term, and I got the due date on a project/program mixed up with another class, so those two things didn't help my grade much in that class. In speech, well, the 2 tests are horrible. Everyone was saying about the final "You might has well bend over now".... as lovely as a picture as that is. I also managed to sleep through one of my speeches for that class. So, what will my grades be? Worse case, I predict: A B B D F (that is WORST case), best case, I predict: A A B C D, most likely? : A A B D D/F (depends on that final I just took). The D/F class however is only 1 credit, so it doesn't count that much at all. What will my GPA be then? Worst case: 2.42 Best case: 3 Most likely: 2.75. Doesn't sound too good, but my GPA should still be a 3.0+ for my entire acedemic career thus far. Oh well, still 3 and a half more semesters to go.

    I need to call the person about an Intership, but unfortunatly I left the business card at my house on the kitchen counter like the fool that I am. I'll e-mail my dad to e-mail it to me... or my mom, since she should be back by now.

    Anywho, Isa hungie, isa go to eat.
