Since Blogger was down for maintenance yesterday, I composed my blog as a word document...

Dang, it sucks that Blogger is down for maintenance, because I was ready to put in a new entry. I got my big b-day present that I bought myself- that Dell laptop, on the day after my birthday. I’ve been playing with the thing ever since I got it out the box. I was kinda bummed that the cd burner wasn’t on there but it’s cool; I can get an external one with an usb connection for about 150 in most stores. Since I am making a little more money, I can afford things like that. Unfortunately, I didn’t make it in to work this morning. I felt really sick about 15 minutes after I woke up; I was hoping that I would recuperate before it was time for me to leave, but I didn’t. I felt bad calling in though, I didn’t want to make it seem like I was skipping work or something like that. It’s crazy that I felt better like 10 minutes after calling, but what was done was done, because I would have been like 2-3 hours late if I did attempt to go in, oh well. So I spent my Friday sitting in the house chillin with my Mom, watching TV, and resting. It felt weird being at home too, I’ve gotten used to working 8 hours now. It’s not that bad, you just have to know how to discipline yourself. I might get a Christmas job and try to work as many hours as I can, and work at the library too. Its not bad working two part time jobs when you are out on break, but when school gets back in 2003 for the winter quarter, I will quit the seasonal job. I just begin to flashback to last year when I worked at Staples, and at Langsam and went to class! That right there wore me out! I barely had time for homework, and my grades suffered as a result. It sucked, but I learned my lesson, definatlely!

Another thing that sucks right now is that I cannot connect to the internet with my cable modem on my desktop. I need to go to the nearest service center so that I can get a cable that I can connect my laptop to the cable modem. I’ll probably will have to get a ride out there, so that I can take laptop with me. I don’t have a case for it yet, so I’ll probably will have to get that too, just get everything out the way in one trip. Sounds like a plan, now all I have to do is execute it.

My b-day was cool though- after going to class and then to work (with a bunch of muffins that I bought on the way there, and my boss treated me to lunch, which was very sweet of her!) and then going home to relax after receiveing many phone calls and running into my friend Eunice, whom I haven’t seen in about a month, I was pretty satisfied with my day. I was kinda bummed though cuz my daddy wasn’t here with me to celebrate my 20th b-day. I know that he’s looking down on me, with his kool-aid smile, no doubts about that!

I’m gonna go and try to figure out what classes I wanna take in the fall. Might as well do it now- there’s no time like the present.
