S'Been a while....

Currently I'm sitting in the basement of my parents new house in Honeoye Falls, NY.  Dad changed jobs back in July and they finally sold the house and moved out here December 1st.  The house is like a tree fort - it's perched on a steep ridge filled with trees that contains a small creek at the bottom.  This house is a bit smaller ( Read more... )

So employment at Chippewa Nature Center ends August 15th.  While I had hoped that I would be able to get a full time position out of them, there ain't no way that's happenin.  Due to major renovations of the visitor's center, there isn't enough room to run many of the programs CNC is used to running.  Therefore no open programs, no new staff, no ( Read more... )

Lately I've been mulling through past memories; days when I was younger and more naive, but for some reason feels like I had more fun.  I can only attribute this to the close group of friends I had and our proximity to one another.  There were the youth group years, the Gordonwood years, the Grand Haven years, then the SMB and MSU years.  I guess ( Read more... )

Today I scheduled myself for a mandatory financial aid seminar this Thursday.  It's nice to know that among the many people that are keeping tabs on me, The Man is still here watching over his investment... or rather ensuring his repayment ( Read more... )

On Monday morning, March 3rd, I received a parking ticket for parking behind Williams in a meter.  I had just gotten off of a 12 hour shift of night recep and moved my car to the meter.  I paid for a few minutes so I could run upstairs to stow my gear before returning to put my car back in Lot 75.  Well when I got to my room, I just decided it was ( Read more... )
