Back home

I hardly ever think about the people I went to high school with. I just feel so removed from that part of my life. Going to college for me was like starting over... creating a brand new life for myself. Coming from a small town, I didn't just spend 4 years with these kids in high school... I spent over half of my lifetime (13 years) growing up with them. Over the past 5 years I've heard good news about people that graduated from college and that have gotten married. I never expected to hear news that someone had passed away.

School Review (2nd week)

So only two weeks into the semester and I am already enjoying classes. I seem to miss them when I am not taking them. But halfway through I am sure my tune will change. All I know is that when it comes time for my thesis, you probably won't hear from me much. I like only taking two classes though. When I was taking three, the stress level even right now would have been tremendous. I also like the fact I am taking Stats 1 which is a review of basically the Stats I had back an an undergrad. Things are going good for now, wonder how long that will last?

mmm... victory

I don't feel so bad now

So after finding out that a person I know just up and spent close to $2800 on a plasma screen TV, I really don't feel so bad about my Aeron chair purchase. I mean I would rather have the world's most comfortable chair than another TV but that is just me. I like the fact that all the parts are replaceable on the chair. I like the fact it has a 12 year warranty. By the time this chair gives out on me I will have saved up enough money to purchase something else designed by Herman Miller. Well by that time I hope I will purchasing products designed by my old college buddy who was an industrial design major. Who knows really. In any case, my back hasn't felt so good until now.

i wanna go home

man, I am so bored here at work. I think I've run out of things to do on the internet... I did however find this randomly... totally un-appetizing.

last night was fun. Barry and I went to Dogwood for some beer (where I got bit by 2 mosquitos... West Nile here I come!) and then to Joe's on Juniper for some trivia action.

I have to drive Barry around town today. I drove him to work this morning... his truck's battery is dead, because he accidentally left his lights on last night. Oops.

To do list for this weekend:
- Auburn v. GT
- Law homework
- Reading for Folklore
- Not spending beaucoups of money!
