A small update

So I have been a little lacking in words lately. So here are a few things.

I finally got verified for registration this morning. yay me! I had been bugging/fighting admissions for what seems like forever now (a week or so). They had all my documents, and did not clear me for registration. Big suprise.... bueracrats... I called them up the other day to ask about it. I laid it out...

Me: So clearly you guys are now in posession of my final transcript because that "to do" item is off my list, so why am I not cleared yet?

Her: Oh it takes a couple of weeks.

Me: Ok, you're saying, you have all the things you need, and it takes a couple of weeks.... registration ends next tuesday and school starts in two weeks.... you see what I'm getting at? So bottom line, do you think I will make it?

Her: Hopefully... *click*

I was entirely pissed. Anyway I got up this morning and discovered that I was cleared. So yay! Picked the open classes (thankfully there were many), and tried to register. 4 of the 6 I put in there saids I don't meet requirements.... I'm like... wtf. Burn my way down to campus to talk to a very very nice advisor 10 min before they stop drop-in's. Turns out other then the fact they took so long to clear me... they also admitted me as a freshman. Yeah. They are friggin smart. She changed my status right away and I was able to get those classes. I'm happy. I calculated that I need about $2600 to pay for this semester.... registration, books, parking permit etc. *sigh* That and I'm looking to get a laptop. That's another $1500 or so I think. Yeah. I'm expensive.

So that was school. Work has been kinda bland. Nothing entirely interesting. Traffic is way lighter then the holidays obviously. I'm just not all that used to it. Of course I still have plenty to do when I'm there. Just keeping everything straight. Paperworks, actual cleaning, putting selling tools together... stuff like that. I make it a point to not do anything too spectacular, I just don't care enough to. Honestly I don't think I have really made an effort into selling anything in a little while now. I think it's a motivation thing. Well the other thing is... if I actually have enough time to do the stuff I need to do on a weekly basis then have spare time... then I might get around to do all that. But for the time being... I bury myself in paperworks. Sort of like it... It's like a little break away from people in general.

My social life is sort of bleh. I never really had one anyway at the first place. It's ok I think, I don't really mind. I get to just hang about by myself... I like having me-time.

I guess this is sort of a bit of reflection about how I am. It's my birthday this sunday. I'm going to be 25. Yeah some people thought I was way younger then that. I act that way. I had so many things I overcome in the last year or so. Mostly I had to get over myself and the hole I dug. I'm almost out of it. It feels like I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I almost don't even feel like celebrating because I know I'm not there yet. I want it to be a huge party when I finally get where I'm suppose to be.

I have a bit of a shopping list I came up with today. I'm not really going to get any of those stuff until I reach some sort of savings goal. And yes I do have one, I'm actually reaching it pretty fast. Which is weird.

1) The Sony DSC-H5 camera. I can get that thing for $53 right now with my points. I want a nicer camera to take stills. After I spend those points I can finally close up that credit card to free up some of my credit. I need to cancel like 4 cards I think. I'm trying to shrink my credit on the cards front. Just to build up my score.
2) Slingbox. Probably the Pro. I can watch TV on my phone... 'nuff said.
3) A new laptop. Probably the Sony VGN-C140. It's small enough for me to tote around, and with the prospect of being on campus from 7am to 9pm on tuesdays... it's really appealing to get a new one.
4) Webcam. Just to do some video blogging and stuff.... which brings me to #5
5) A webhost. I figure it'll cost me less then $300 for two years. I just need to make the pages for it. I'm literally staring at the books to help me make it. I just have to stop being lazy and go through them.

I probably can think of more. I think when I have time next week I will clean up my blog side bar again. Maybe add a wishlist section on there for some of the stuff I mentioned above. I think that's a good thing. It's like something I can work towards.

I'm going to a Sharks game on monday. I'm very excited about it. I finally get to wear my jersey to a game. lol. I have been getting a lot more (back) into hockey lately. Out of all the sports it's the one that I'm most interested in. I'm weird like that. It's actually one of the things I like to do with my Dad... hang out and watch hockey. Yeah. We get along very well.

I got my Dad a Palm T/X over Christmas. He was pretty surprised by it. Next week I will have to look for software that can let him read Chinese on it. Else it's kind of useless for him to go online with that thing. Need to be able to read his magazine and newspapers you know.

I haven't been bowling very well. I'm consistant... like 7 and spares or bad splits. I get those fairly often. I need to adjust my game. I'll get it somehow.

I tried to workout yesterday. I have been setting myself goals. 10 miles per week and 100 crunchs per day. Accumulates. Yup. I ran 4 miles yesterday, which put a pretty good dent on the 20 miles I have posted up. Did 300 crunches out of 1000 I banked. I need to keep at it. I can feel my legs burn still. Anyway I figure if I get my cardio in, do those crunches which works for my tummy... which I already know, and eat right, then I'll look better. I need to pretty much do one thing at a time. I can always add different exercises or yoga to the mix. But I need to be consistent with those.... running and crunches.

Well anyway I think that is all I have for now. I can think of more if I want to... but I think I am tired.
