Procrastination Station

Hooooly cow it's been a long time since my last blog post. Better fire up the backburners and crank one out!

So, a whole lot of things have happened since my last post and I probably won't cover them all, for I am far too lazy to write them and I'm not even sure if I could remember them all. I'll try to summarize them anyway.

Summer ended, which was both a bad and a good thing. Bad is of course because of school (though it really is not that bad). The good thing is I got to kiss my job at Menards goodbye in order for bigger and better things. Hallelu-howeveryouspellit. No more boss who has no idea what he's doing, no more forty and fifty hour weeks. I was ecstatic. Then, as good fortune worked out, I ended up getting on as a workstudy at University Plaza, the place that I'm living. I work (and by work I mean sit at a desk for three hours and check ID's) twelve hours a week in exchange for totally free housing and reduced meals. It is seriously one of the best deals out there.

Since then I've moved down here (to DeKalb) and school started this last week. Classes aren't too bad, I have a few interesting professors (One in my Linux class insists that we use the book from 1984 instead of the recent one) but overall I think it will be pretty easy. I've tried to actually keep my room clean for a change instead of letting it go all to hell so that I can at least try to stay organized.

Speaking of my room, it is humongous and I don't have to share it with anyone. My roommate (who I've only seen twice in the course of a week) is 25 and pretty much lives at his girlfriend's apartment, which is fine with me. It seems a little odd to pay for a place like UP when you are going to spend all your time elsewhere, but it gives me more quiet time so again, I don't really care. He seems like a pretty nice guy anyway.

Well, that wasn't all that bad. Hopefully I can update more frequently. Maybe.
