So...what am I going to talk about today. Looks like my last entry was two days ago, so I guess I'll try and start from there.
This weekend was spent in TH at the arcade, but for some reason I think I've already talked about that. Sunday after work I drove out to visit the folks since it'd been a while since I did that. Made rice crispy treats, much nom. I think the moving process will be done in a week or two. Shouldn't take more than one more trip to and from to throw what's left into the car. And if it does, I'm supposed to rent a truck in a few weeks to pick up the larger things like my beds and assorted larger things.
Going to be busy most of this week, I'd suppose. After I've had something to eat I might wander out to see what's in the area. I'm wondering if I should keep the current job situation I have for a few weeks and jump through all the flaming hoops of college job fairs that're coming up relatively soon, or just hoof it in the area and hope I find something relatively good to keep my feet on the ground. Once I've moved everything out of TH, it's not like I'd have that as an excuse to make the drive out there every weekend. I do rather like the rout assistant job here in town, but I wonder if I could find some other similar job in the area. A guaranteed 20 hour week/7 an hour's hard to beat when in college, or so I hear? It's just that it's hard to find a part time job where you get to pick your own hours :P.
I think with what I'm doing right now, I get about 750 a month, and that should, within all reason, cover my financial needs, right? Like another friend of mine's said recently, I probably wouldn't know what to do with more money if I had it ;P. But in retrospect, I think I do. I could really use some work done on my car (Although I can think of at least one in the area that thinks I should flat re place it :P). If I had the cash, I could certainly get out more and see people in the area. I might maybe possibly be able to travel a little easier. But of course, with the theory of more money, comes the theory of more responsibility. I'd probably be working 8-3pm and driving straight to campus M-Th for class in order to do homework and have assignments and tests prepped so I could continue my education. :P. Yeah, it'd give me weekends, but would I feel like doing anything on the weekends? Who knows.
As life is right now, I seem to have Tuesdays and Wednesdays pretty free and clear to do whatever in until class. Then of course, everyone else Works on week days, so it's not like there's anyone to hang out with, and no one that knows who I live with would seriously contemplate wanting to visit :p. So as usual, it's me driving around willy nilly trying to be the social butterfly when instead I should perch somewhere and observe. Maybe I'll look up what's going on at one of the local museums sometime this month and see if there's anything interesting going on. I picked up a copy of...what's it called...It's the indi Indy paper, Nuvo I think, I can't remember. It's around here somewhere, obviously I haven't had time to read it yet XD.
Ugh, traffic rant. It took like, an hour and a half for me to get from the appartment here twelve or so miles up I65 because there was an accident blocking the two left lanes x.o; I should seriously ask Marc or someone else what an easier rout is, so that I'm not grumbling and melting in the ACless congestion for quite that long. I could always find a way to Illinois street, maybe, since that passes right through our campus parking lot, but I think I hear someone screaming "Aaaaaaarrrrggg!" right now as I think about it loudly x.o;. If I had my desktop with me here as opposed to Mako's laptop (btw, I'm gonna need that after this weekend :P), I'd probably check google maps or something and figure it out eventually.
If you've been wondering why I'm not on the messengers, or haven't seen me much, that's another reason. I can't really log into all the messengers, surf the net, and have other things running on this machine. I can't really afford to give Mako something better right now either, but it does the essentials at least.
Campus seems to choke and die at about 9pm, which is bad, since I'd thought it closed at ten. Just means I have to get there somewhat relatively early if I want to choke up their resources and print out...I mean...do my homework in a relatively quiet and sane environment...:). That, and not even my home desktop has MS Office on it, and Open Office just doesn't cut it when your projects need to look Exactly like what the ones you'd do in office look like (I'm taking a BS n00b level MS Office class, because I need the Excell and Access experience, hence the need for the actual program and not a well done clone). But then again, I left the appartment at four and only just got to campus on time at 5:30 yesterday because of the accident x.o; so...I guess it was good I didn't have anything due that day :P. Don't procrastinate this semester, check!
So..we've got a couch monster this morning (I.E. a guest that's sleeping on the couch). Feral went and drove all the way to TH to pick up this Dragon that's apparently been living there a few years... and I missed this how? I just escaped TH for petes sakes, and yet there's some fur I'd never met living, working, and running his own IT VoiP company there? Small world >_>. Anyhow, I guess I'm supposed to check Pounced more than once or twice a year? Who knew.. Like I said, not the social type :P. So he's alright I guess, it just means I can't leave the room else I wake the guy up x.o; Hunger gets what hunger wants!...most of the time anyhow. *looks around the room* I should have a bag of cereal around here somewhere...nope, in the other room ._o. He's got another 40 minutes to sleep, then I'm taking my life back :P. I should probably be done rambling and mumbling for now by then anyhow.
MFM's coming up in about two weeks, guess where I won't be? :P. Nope, can't afford it again. I've always been more geared towards MFF anyhow I guess. Though I hear I miss quite a show every year. Nothing new there :). Missed GenCon this past year but it's not like I can complain. My favorite event's ticket cost got bumped up to like, 37 dollars a run :P. I'm hoping maybe it goes back down a little next year. Someone somewhere's gotta be raking it in with an entrance fee of 37 dollars. 7 adventurers, two time slots an hour, twelve hours a day. I'm not doing the math, you go have fun (I'm talking about True Adventure if you're 'white and nerdy' enough to care :P). I think the Indy Dagorhir group helped with the True Arena again this year, I haven't connected with the Indy branch to really find out or not. Probably not going to have much time for LARPing anytime soon, especially since school and job will come higher than fun for a while.
As it is, I'm staring down two and a half certification tests at the end of this semester (A half? yes, I still have to pass the A+ software test ._.;). I know nothing about Linux, and am taking that class this semester, and I can't say I know much about Networking, and that's this semester. I'm not sure if there's a cert for the Database class in Access or not, but hopefully I'll have time to switch that over today since I couldn't do squat yesterday.
Have I rambled enough for ya yet? :P If you haven't scrolled on to the next entry already, hehe. I would, so I can't hardly blame ya. Sometimes I just don't have the time to come up with a 'proper reply', and I know some of you out there think a simple 'well that's cool :)' is deemed a 'waste of time', but ok, that's your call. As for me, rar! food calls x.x *flops into the kitchen*
