Look at me... I'm posting...

I'm one lazy bastard... this is my first post in like 3 months. I haven't really been doing anything of note lately. I've been working 40 hours a week at home depot. I hate my job with a passion. I've only finished my first 40 hour week there and I hate it already. There is no way in hell I could ever do this job for 40 hours a week for the rest of my life. Anyone who does is nuts. The job is so unstimulating. So much repetition. I am a creature of habbit, however this job is one thing that I wish I could change. I'm currently looking for a new job. Hopefully I find one, but it's hard. All this has given me the motivation to complete college. If you see me still working at home depot in like 2 years you know I fucked up big time. I guess thats enough about home depot for now...

As for a social life, I really haven't had much of one. I pretty much spend all of my free time driving around like I did in high school and watching tv shows I downloaded. For anyone who hasn't seen it, Prison Break is probably my favorite. Other than this I do go bowling once a week. In a league. Averaging 171.... and moving up. I have also started to hang out at various bars that have poker tournaments. Granted Im not that good at it, I still have fun. I've finished 3rd twice and 2nd once... I always managed to get screwed some how at the final table when I get there. I guess that's pretty much all... hopefuly I post more frequently...

The once a month update...

Seeing as how nothing really interesting ever happens to me this is my first update in about a month... Nothing of importance has happened. I still havent written my papers that are due next week... I guess I should be doing those instead of updating this blog. I am still deciding what classes to take in the fall. I know I'll have physical meteorology, instrumentation, and linear algebra. Since I dont have many credits left until I graduate, im just taking 12 hours. I am debating whether I should take a theology class or an air polution class. Either way I'm only going to have 3 hard classes. Which in return probably means even more slacking off by me.
Lately I've been playing the N64 again... some great games on that system. I've mostly been playing mario golf and mario kart. My dvd collection is growing by leaps and bounds thanks to my dvd burner and netflix.... mwhahhaha. I didnt do anything over spring break... mostly just hung around the house, watched basketball, or worked. I got an email the other day saying that they didnt get funding for that Oklahoma program. Which sucks. I guess Im going to have to find something else to do with my summer now. Oh well. As long as its not more hours at home depot, I'll be happy.

Wow it has been awhile...

Gee, it's almost been a month since I updated this blog. I'm very lazy in case you didn't know. Not too much has really been going on. Pretty much school and work. I did get a tuition reimbursment check from home depot the other day. Which is pretty sweet. If they are stupid enough to give me tuition reimbursment I'll take it. I have found that my enthusiasim that accompanied me at the begining of the semester is now gone. I rarely do any homework and yet I'm still managing to get B's and A's. I guess that will all change though. I got some papers and midterms coming up. Should be stressful. I guess I will find out in mid-March if I got into the summer research program at the NWC/OU in Norman,OK. I better get in, I dont think I can take a summer of home depot. I guess if this fail I might see if there is any kind of work I can do in the meteorology department. Anything but home depot. I've been watching a lot of South Park recently... man what a great show. Season 7 comes out on DVD towards the end of March. I'm looking for things to do over spring break. Ideas? Well I dont know anything else....

It has been a while....

It has been a while since I have updated this blog. Not too much has really gone on since I last wrote. My car passed 130,000 a week ago or so... I really need to stop driving around putting pointless miles on it... Thinking about this summer I dont know what I am going to do right now... Hopefuly I get into that NWC/University of Oklahoma summer research program. That would solve a lot of problems. If I dont get in I dont know what Im going to do. I could take summer school or work full time. Right now with my remaning classes summer school isnt looking like a possiblity. It looks like Im going to work full time at Home Depot if I dont get in. So im praying hard that I get in... I dont think I could take a whole summer of full time work at Home Depot. I guess I could just make a ton of money this summer and use it as a down payment on a new truck. So I guess there is an advantage to it. I recently crossed 75 beers at Growlers... Over half way there to that mug... Anyways... The other day I was driving by the abandoned caleco's... I saw a sign in front that says a Chevy's is opening soon. That will be pretty cool.... hell of a lot better than the old ghetto calecos... In other news, school has been going ok so far. I have already started to slack off... I rarely do any homework... which im sure will come back to bite me in the ass, especially in differential equations.... anyways thats all for now.... work tomorrow 1-10.... ugh...

1 Week down

Well I finished up my first week of the semester... pretty uneventful.... I had one quiz in history over a map of China.... Some diff eq homework, and some reading... all in all not too busy but its going to pick up soon.... projects papers, tests, other crap....I mailed my Oklahoma summer research applicaion yesterday... I guess I have to wait until March to find out if I get in. I hope I do... not so much for the money but to get out STL and experience something new... I used to think I would never leave this town.... but now... all I can think about doing is leaving. Its weird. When school is over and I have to find a job its going to be someplace warm. I hate cold weather... which is why this January has been awesome weather wise.... probably the warmest on record or damn close anyways... which is sweet.... in other news Im going to the auto show tomorrow afternoon... I'll probably post pictures on facebook sometime tomorrow night....thats all for now....

Semester Outlook

Well its that time of the year again.... a new semester is upon us... here's my thoughts of the semester so far....

Intro to Theology: This class should be OK. It will be just like high school religion courses. Only difference is that there are girls in the class. Nothing too difficult in this class from the looks of the syllabus. A few tests, reflections (which I will probably BS... just like high school), and a project of unknown length.... Predicted Grade: A

Intro to Literary Studies: This class is going to be very boring. Shakespear, other boring dead authors and a hippie wanna be as a professor who on the first day of class compared the structure of a story to a male orgasm... Not something I want to hear at 9:30.... Predicted Grade: B

History of China since 1600: This class is going to be hard. Tons of reading and a 15-20 page research paper. Other than that the prof seems ok... maybe a little snobish... he did get his PHD from Harvard..... Predicted Grade: B

Differential Equations: "Diffy Screw" as my brother calls it.... This class is going to be very hard. I suck at math and guess what... this class relies on all the calculus I suposedly learned.... lol Predicted Grade: C (I Hope)

Atmospheric Motions: This class should be fun... Its a meteorology class so I should enjoy it... Although there is a fair amount of work required I dont think it will be a problem. Predicted Grade: A

Map and Chart: I have yet to attend this class as it is on Monday and Fridays only. But from what I have heard it isnt too bad. Predicted Grade: A

That is my semester. I hope I end up doing well. I really hope I pass Diff EQ becuase I really dont want to take it this summer or next fall.... more motivation to work harder I suppose....

Random Topic

This is a random list of people/things that piss me off:

1. People who walk slow, thus blocking me from making foreward progress.
2. John Shaw, The guy is a douchebag/screwed the Rams over
3. Bill Laurie, Sell the Blues already so we have an owner that cares!
4. Home Depot customers... dont ask me stupid questions like where are the nails when your standing right in front of them!
5. William Shatner.. If I see him doing another Brown and Cruppen commerical.....
6. People who think throwing money at a problem is going to fix it (Government)
7. Bums who ask for change to get loaded around SLU...
8. Netflix.. Why cant I rent more than 12 movies a month if your slogan says "Unlimited"

Thats all I can think of at this point in time... Im sure there's more though...
