Week One Situation Report

This week reminded me a bit of my first week as a freshman here at UTA. No homework, other than reading, and a lot of hanging out with friends. Of course, I worked a lot at my job, and did my reading before doing anything crazy. But it's shaping up to be an alright semester.

With one exception. My political science professor wants me to work 8 hours for some campaign, and 4 hours as a poll clerk. Ugh! Who wants to work in politics?! Oh, and apparently, he was on the list of The 25 Most Dangerous Professors. He wants to start a Mexican Revolution, and dreams of Mexicans running the United States. Especially the ones that speak Spanish. Um, dude? There are MANY countries run by Spanish-speakers, and one of them is even run by Mexicans. IF YOU WANT THE MEXICANS TO RUN THE UNITED STATES, THEY WOULD NOT CALL IT THE UNITED STATES, THEY WOULD CALL IT "MEXICO NUMERO DOS!" Go to freakin' Mexico, ya nut!

So, apparently Trophy Club Police Department wants me grading/acting in a scenario or two for the Texas State Explorer Competition. I'm stoked about that, but not stoked about the gas its gonna take to head out to their meetings every week. Especially since I should be doing tutoring those nights anyway. And, I finally got to fire a real firearm, a .22 caliber rifle. I'm a darn good shot, too! Tight grouping, 90% accuracy in the center of the target.

And, there's a massive crack in my windshield. The whole point of this report was to keep you updated on my life, and those were the major accomplishments. But I would like to take the time out from my busy schedule to wish Jeff a HAPPY 20TH BIRTHDAY!

Back in School

Well first of all, a month away from this:
made the reunion that much better. Needless to say, we had a wonderful time when I got back, just hanging out and going shopping and the like. Oh, how I love you, Kristen!

But I guess you're all sick and tired of hearing me talk about how much better she is than all of you. So I'm gonna talk about my school for now. Granted, today was only Monday, so we will see how I feel by the weekend. Work is fine, still fun and easy money for me. I'm only working Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and most of my classes are Tuesday and Thursday. (I do, of course, have a sociology class for three hours Wednesday night. Supposedly we're having D&D Friday nights, but I'd much rather spend those with Kristen.

There I go again. Anyway, my roommate is pretty darn sweet, with even more kickass gear than my last one. I just keep getting awesome roommates! (Except for you weirdos in the summer.) So now we have an HD TV, a PS3, a gaming computer (with a nice monitor), a nice stereo... all sorts of neat techie stuff. It's going to be hard to study this year, I can tell you that.
Especially since my political science class requires that I actually work in the polls and in a campaign. Ugh! I'm not even registered to vote here, so I gotta figure that out soon. He said if we have a problem and can't find a suitable alternative to his assignment, then we should find a different professor because he doesn't care. But my problem is I can't just go get another professor. My schedule is delicate.

But the bottom line for this semester is DO NOT SUCK. My parents are looking for any excuse to haul me back to Arizona. (I'd rather die first.) Of course, I'll find ways to have fun. You can count on that.


Oh yes. Count on that.

Blogoriffic!

Well, it's 2008 now. And no, I didn't just notice that. I'm letting you all know in case you missed the news. But I was so busy in 2007, I hardly updated my blog at all! And I mean that I didn't update it at all! However, I think this year my resolution will be to update my blog more frequently. At least once a month. I will try.

So you better keep visiting.
