stuff.

Highlights of blanks to be filled in no specific order:

Started school with the 50,000 other people on Monday. It's quite overwhelming to go from an nice empty campus to a sudden overpopulation in a matter of days. 18 credit hours, five classes, Molec. Biology, Cell Biology, 3rd semester German, Anatomy/Physiology + lab (accounting for Tuesday being a 9am-9pm day at school), Calc-based Physics. They will be good classes, I think. I'm happy to be moving along.

Finished at the Orthopaedics lab, but still have to turn in my paper. I'm afraid to talk to them because I just sort of disappeared when my project got scrapped. I had no drive to be there, though, because I was just sitting around most of the time. I'll turn my paper in on Monday, probably. I already got paid though, so what gives?

Work is cool. Hopefully I'll get some sort of a raise soon for finishing the grand project of reconciling all of the Office of Admissions' accounts for last fiscal year. I'm only done with 3 months. It's a lot of work. It's amazing how much I actually do for that office. I hope to get some recognition! As of now, though, my office is sort of my refuge from all the students outside. I go there to eat my lunch rather than going to the overcrowded union... plus it's nice to be paid should I decide to eat there while working.

My 22nd birthday is coming up next Wednesday. My dad decided that his singles club was more important than visiting with me so I decided bitterly to not drive down there. I don't want any presents or anything from anyone anyway, so there really isn't any point. It seems like the day will be more special, at least psychologically, to them than me... if that makes sense. It's just another day and I will probably just live it out like any other. Besides, I will already have an exam the following day in Molecular Biology and there's no sense in wasting time on something like a birthday.

I dropped $1200 on a 12" PowerBook from the University. It was brand new and is beautiful. I spent a lot of money, but I think I got a nice deal on it. I'm typing it on it now as I lay on my bed. It's nice. I've decided it will take the place in my heart that a relationship might otherwise.

I went to San Diego with my dad and brother. It was nice. My dad even payed out like $800 so that we could stay at a Marriott a couple nights.

My car got hit by some bitch Jack In The Box employee. It's costing $3,000 to fix it. My dad is paying the $500 deductible, but is currently going to sue the woman that did it. He's really pissed because she lied to us and the police about her identity. My dad had the option to press charges for that and he's going to. Meanwhile, he just dropped who knows how much money on new tires and rims for his stupid mustang. I don't get him sometimes.... whines about how my mom made him all poor but then spends money like crazy. ::shrugs:: There are good things and bad things about everyone, though, don't get me wrong (myself included). He just pisses me off sometimes.

I won an iPod Shuffle from school a few weeks ago. I turned around and sold it on eBay. I already have a Mini.

My old friend Jessica McCormick came and visited me... She's so awesome. It's amazing how old friendships can last forever. I love the heck out of that girl.

I painted two new paintings. I used acrylic paint. I did it for Jessica's visit.

My mommy, sis and bro are visiting me this weekend on Saturday. They're only going to stay the day and we probably will end up eating a couple times and that's about it. I hope they aren't too disappointed. I think they know I'm a hermit though.

That's about all that comes to mind right now.
