Livin' It Up!

I have had the last two days off of work, and that in itself has been glorious. I realize of course that like all cretins, I must go off for a minimum of 40 hours a week and earn the money that I need for school, but that doesn't mean that I enjoy it. I may be moving to third shift soon, as I ponder all of my options and the ramifications therein. It all hinges on how much of a night owl I really am, that -- and how desperate I am to move out of second shift.

The site should finally look acceptable for at least a little time while I decide on how to sculpt it for the upcoming school year. It is my new resolution to spend most of my time off of the computer. I have a huch it affected my grades last year, and I cannot allow that to occur again. My natural tendency leans towards laziness, but that is a bad habit I am determined to break.

It has rained like the dickens here for the past week, seemingly wreaking havoc in its path. Unbelievably, I believe it has rained here daily for over 10 days. We have had at least 4 inches of rain. The farmer's fields more closely resemble ponds than the food producing green areas they were once thought of as. This kind of damage has not been limited to the farmers. It has claimed the life on one of our phone lines and the only one of my Grandpa's. SBC went on strike too, so it is gone for quite a while.

Enough for now perhaps, I am off to my cousin's graduation open house from Calvin College. It should be fun...

Back in the USA

Hard to believe that my first year of university is over and that I have been working for three weeks. It has been exactly one month since my last post, and in that time, I have made major changes, first and formost, moving back to the USA. I have been enjoying my stay back in Michigan too, it just feels a little weird. There are certain things I like better, however, especially being closer to old friends.

I am trying to stay busy, but invariably, I have wasted a bit of time too, fooling around on the computer, the hottub, and watching the Dish. Still, it is summer after all. I do need to relax occasionally. I am hoping to get a little bit of time off this summer for the trip to Colorado. My favorite ex-boss mentioned that I might be able to do that

This week I am working 2nd and 3rd shifts, until Friday, which I have off. I will definitely be available if anyone wants to get together. This summer is all about spending time with those I love and working to pay off some bills... Ciao.
