I'm getting a job assessment in two weeks at a data entry job.

Unfortunately I have to retake my Spanish class at half price because there weren't enough people for the next level.

I think I've been making some progress with my weight loss goals, so there's that.
 
My desktop PC had been giving me issues all weekend, where Win7 was locking up at the "Starting Windows" and "Windows is loading files" screens. I take it to my school's computer repair lab, and when the guy running it plugged it in and started up and chose "Start Windows Normally," Win7 loaded without any issue. :sighduck:

I felt better after I saw the little UPS slip in the mailbox for the laptop I ordered when I came home, though. :heart-full:
 
been missing you guys, but oh maaaaaaan it's summer summer summer - that like, never ever happens around here.

work's been brutal - i like it, but it's brutal and sometimes it just kills me at the end of the week. but i made a friend at my new position who moved nearby, and their best friend is their neighbor, and they live equidistant to my home and the booze shop, from what i gather. certainly tomorrow will be a hiking day.

there's a million zillion little things i want to do, but i haven't found the time or energy.

except for summer stuff.
 
The professor finally graded something which happened to be my paper on Citizen Kane. I managed to get a 95. So yeah, I'm pretty happy about it. Next paper is on A Clockwork Orange so that will be quite the paper to work on.
 
I have an interview Thursday for Ortho. Had a phone interview today (that I did while playing WoT) that led to an actual interview next Tuesday.

Hospital for Tuesday is a little better known, but it's further away. Not sure if it would pay more, but they're probably equal in pay.

Decisions, decisions.
 
Leaving for AnimeNEXT tomorrow because I'm that much of a weeb. Hopefully I won't be sweating as much this year.

A friend of mine gave me an old violin, and I just spend most most of my spare money for the month on a new bow, new strings, and a few minor tweaks to get it playable again. Was feeling pretty pleased with myself when I got it home, then realised the Steam summer sale started today. And I now have very little in the way of spare money.
 
I have my second interview tomorrow, and I'm nervous. I feel like I have a better chance at this than the first place I interviewed at, but it's further away, parking would be a pain, and I'd be burning more gas.
 
Second formal driving lesson today! I went down some a ton of main roads and my anxiety level went down from "HOLY FUCK" to "OhCraaaap." which is a pretty vast improvement. Still no highway, but knowing my teacher, he'll probably direct me there within the next lesson or so. At this rate I'll be confident enough to get a car and get my ass places in a month or so. Not sure whether I'm excited or a teensy bit giddy from nerves, but I guess I'll take whatever feeling this is as a positive sign that I'm getting over my driving anxiety.
 
Zeofiancee was kind enough to remind me that we have 33 days until the wedding. So much more shit to do. *sigh*
 
I have a little bit of sunburn on my nose and nowhere else. :o :oops:
 
Got a really annoying cold because I slept with a fan on. I also met up with a guy I've been talking to at AnimeNEXT and we exchanged numbers. We're currently trying to figure out what to do for our first date, but the problem is the distance. (He's in Colonia, I'm in Asbury.) I feel bad that he's willing to drive all the way out here just for me.
 
Still hate my job but since looking for work is consistently the worst experience of my entire life, I think I'll put it off for at least until the fall (because traditionally, the summer has always been a really shit time to find a new job anyway and every decent offer I've ever gotten has been in the months of September-November).

I've been relatively busy at my job as of late so at least the days seem to go by faster than they used to, but I'm done with this. I think in the meantime I'll just try to enjoy my life outside of the lab and maybe focus on things that don't make me miserable.
 
Took an exam online and got a 93. It was really easy and the class for it is a joke IMO. The test was literally just shit taken directly from the textbook and powerpoint slides and if I do well enough on the next 3, the professor will drop my lowest grade on one of the exams. It's one of those classes that they make everyone at the business school take no matter what they are majoring in. I still have a little bit of reservation sometimes about whether I made the best decision that I could possibly make but I wanted to better myself, understanding life a bit better, and my understanding of these topics rather than only focusing on making the most money. Considering that there was a period of time where I wasn't in college for a while because of some financial issues, I'm amazed with how far I've come and how I'm not that behind everyone else that I graduated high school with.

Summer semester isn't too bad so far, despite doing three classes. The hardest one this semester would have to be corporate finance but more because there's a lot more time that I have to put into that class to make sure I understand all the concepts and how to do the problems. My professor there makes everything really straightforward though and easier to understand.
 
I should hear back by Friday for one interview, and I'm thinking Monday for the other. I'm really hoping I get the one Monday. I don't even care that much about the pay. The location is just so much better.
 
I traveled to San Francisco on vacation starting last Tuesday (well technically I'm in Fremont but I was in SF this morning). It's a really lovely city.
