‘Welcome to the Real World,’ she said to me, Condescendingly

Destination Kent wasn’t as bad as I had thought. It had its boring parts, and my feet/legs were about to give out on the way to the truck while leaving, but I managed. I’m just all that much more excited to actually go, now. I put my classes into my calendar and printed out a schedule for the week, bought a bunch of things, and want to go NOW. My parents were looking around while I was fixing a scheduling issue, and brought me an application for PARTA (Portage Area Regional Transportation Authority) and said that they’d pay for my CDL training/classes, along with giving me a job driving a bus. Jer said it was probably one of the best on-campus jobs, so I plan on at least trying for it. I’d probably be (not to be bigheaded, but…) one of the best-qualified on initial entry, I’ve been driving since I was 7 for crying out loud – there isn’t much I haven’t done in a vehicle, and not many types that I haven’t driven. I made a few cool friends at Kent, so that’s a plus. I took a shower this morning and while in there, realized that I had forgotten to turn off my second alarm (I somehow woke up with the first one) and was hoping that my roommate was a heavy sleeper. It was on quiet, at least, because I almost didn’t wake up. I came back to my room to him still zonked out and my phone going off. All was well.

Going to Jeremy’s tomorrow – I think he got ‘Watchmen’ on DVD. w00t!

Now and again I lose sight of the good life

I was so excited about my laptop that I forgot to write about it yesterday! It came on Monday (my day off, yay!) while I was cutting grass. Funny enough, I wasn’t super super excited about it. It was sort of just like I knew I had to use it and that it was just another tool. I do like it, I guess Macs aren’t so bad. It’s just nice to have a laptop again.

I’m watching something on the history channel that I’ve seen already. wtf.

Destination Kent (AKA College Orientation) is tomorrow and the next day. Not looking forward to it. Why does it take a day and a half to do so little?

I got paired with some idiots at work today. I had planned on going into details, but I don’t really feel like it today. Just know that I was frustrated for most of the day. And I got paint all over my shorts.

My friend has been insisting that I go into modeling. I don’t know what to think of it. I think it would be fun, but I’m not sure if I would really make it…. and I don’t know why he’s the only one that has ever said anything. I suppose we’ll see. I have to even out my tan lines before I do anything. :P
