Ding ding, doors closing.

I am back from my weekend trip to Washington, D.C.  It was fab.  I loved it.  Had a great time with my friends in the city…and I especially loved the metro.  I am somewhat obsessed with it.  Check out all of my 6 albums (330 pictures) on facebook from the trip.  We did a lot of walking and a lot of sightseeing.

We stopped at the capitol building (inside tour), botanical garden, washington mon, white house, the smith, the aquarium, national archives, china town, etc etc etc.  It was a great trip – and I got to see a ton.  I wish i could have seen more though…only so much of that HUGE city you can see in a days time.

I really enjoyed my trip, I scoped out a cool neighbor hood I would live in, and now I am looking at interning there sometime soon.  LOVED IT!

School is almost done for the year…I’ll blog more when I get settled back at home.

Spring time is

Porch party time.  I love spring time on a college campus.  The warm weather spawns socializing.  I love it.  so many fun nights.  Its great!

And…I am enjoying my time here before we all split and go our separate ways over summer.  Spending the little time we have left together is important.  And…we are all having a good time.

I just love being out and about and seeing people and just stopping for a conversation or going along with them on a spontaneous trip.  its fun…and never happens in the winter!

I think thats all for now.

taking care of business…

So I don’t have Friday classes this quarter, and I love it.  I slept in and ran errands all day and then got some reading done.  I am slowly, but surely getting caught up on work.  I have a ton more to do, but I am making progress.  I am going to work all afternoon and a good portion of the evening today on work to be in good shape for next week.  If I get it all done before monday, then I will be cleared for a good week.  Of course there are still tons of assignments that will fall on me agian as soon as I get caught up.  That’s college

Last night I went out with my friends.  It was a blast.  Thursday night we went dancing in the club.  Tonight I am not sure what I am going to do.  I have a few options, and the day is still too young to decide what I will feel like doing.  None-the-less, I hope I have fun.

PS:  I notice that my Dell Tech Support Story is the entry with the most hits.  Its funny to me.  I get a kick out of seeing the number of times it has been read.  Crazy.

Until later…take care and BE CAREFUL OUT THERE!

College Town

I am back to school, well college actually.  I am a big boy now…lol.  I arrived yesterday at noon, unloaded, dad and I went uptown to grab lunch and books, and then we came back here for a bit.  We talked, unpacked a little, and then he left and returned home.  I unpacked alllllll afternoon.  But, I got everything put away and organized.  I also cleaned from 7 weeks worth of empty room dirt.  But I got it all done, and all is good.

Then I met up with some friends and reunited after a very long break.  It was terrific.   We exchanged Christmas gifts and then went to dinner.  We later went to a friends apartment and chatted and played games.  We returned to campus about midnight.  It was so awesome to be out that late the night before classes start.  Campus was dead and all…but we were out and it was fun.  I don’t have class till 11am, so it works out fine…and I love it.

I am finally living the college lifestyle:  Earliest class is 11, and I don’t have friday classes.  woot!

But, I am off to meet some people before we walk to class, and then I have a full, busy day of class.  This week should be good, fun, and fast.  I have friends in classes, and I like it.  I am excited and doing MUCH better now that I am back on campus.

long day

I was out late last night and didn’t get much sleep.  Mom woke me up early so we could go out all day as a family.  It was fun.  We had lunch and then shopped and ran errands all day.  Went for a nice drive, etc etc etc.  It was one rare time that we all got along real well and I really enjoyed the time.  Its rare…but I am happy.  I realized that I need to savor those moments the most…and I have been working hard on being more agreeable and friendly.  Plus, I will be leaving for school and not seeing my family much or being at home very much at all for the next 6 months, so I am trying to enjoy all of my time now.  I don’t really get homesick that much, but I do miss family…and my own room, car, and comfort of the house/city is great as well.

But, after running around all day, I am tired.  I am going to work on some little odds and ends for a bit and then take a relaxing bath.  I want to really concentrate and enjoy the rest of my break…cuz I won’t have one for a long while.

I think I may do ear candles tonight as well.  If you don’t know what they are, wiki them or look up on google.  I believe they work…and I haven’t done them in a very long time, so I am due.  I will enjoy that as well.

Maybe a family game of upwords or Yahtze will end my evening.

2007 is on its way out, and 2008 is soon approaching.  2007 has been a very memorable and eventuful year for me.  I will remember it for many reasons.  I will try to write a re cap blog or something.  Its been a pretty good year, and I hope the same for 08.

I am trying to drink more water – a doctor of a family member said that is the best thing you can do for your body – and also try to eat a lot healthier…and less.   Working out and loosing weight are new years resolutions – which will most certainly fail.

Bummer.
