Well, I dropped my Physics class today because I think that FUHSD is going to hire me for some part time web and computer work stuff. I felt as if it would be better to get more experience than it would be to get my physics in. I also just need the time, all this school work is killing me and it’s only going to get worse when ccna starts up in a couple of weeks. Well, that’s the big news of the day. I saw Nicole at Palomar this morning while I was outside my class waiting for my teacher. That was kind of cool … Nicole, Amy, Ned and I went out to lunch at Oscar’s yesterday which was kind of fun, not what was originally planned, but it was ok. Oh well, I’m tired and need to get up early tomorrow, so talk to you later.

Nothing interesting to report today except that I got soaking wet both times that I left class today which really sucked, but I guess I’m over it. I really should go outside and clean my car because it got so dirty but maybe I’ll wait until after it is done raining. I go sleep now, too tired to type.

Not much to report today except that school is killing me. I’m struggling in Physics now because I just have this mental roadblock to make everything ten times harder than it really is and it is really frustrating. Oh well! Anyways there isn’t really anything good to report and I need to be getting to bed as I have Physics lab incredibly early tomorrow morning! Oh boy! Lucky me!

I’m sorry that I can’t say much tonight, but I’m really tired and I need to get to bed as I have to get up early tomorrow morning. I spent a lot of time today at ECHS doing a show at 9 that we didn’t think started until 11. Good thing I showed up on time/early. Oh well, no big deal. I spent a lot of time working on scanning pictures for Ricky, I think this is the real reason behind wanting to quit… all the extra work that keeps coming upon me that I’m not supposed to be doing. I actually got to spend a lot of time at Denny’s tonight with Chris and then Tina (Gregg) and Ryan. That was kind of nice because I hadn’t seen Chris in forever and we got to talk about some of the things that are going on. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to any of my school stuff today that I needed to, but I think that it will all still work out as long as I don’t get stuck at ECHS too long tomorrow. OK, gotta go.

Once again, I’ve decided to try to keep a journal on a semi-regular basis, so here goes once again… :)

Today was just an average day, pretty busy. Every day has been incredibly busy since school started not even a month ago. We are just starting the fourth week of the Spring semester of school. It is absolutely driving me crazy. I don’t think I have ever spent this much time with “school” before. The online classes are great, because they are so flexible, but at the same time they do have the drawback of not having that direct order from the teacher. I have to really watch myself in those classes and make sure that I’m not getting behind in anything and that I am always scheduling ahead for the demand of my time. I’m currently having problems understanding what my English teacher wants us to do, we are about to start writing our first essay and I’m trying to come up with some ideas. Basically I need to have a couple beginning ideas by tomorrow, so wish me luck!

I’m once again attempting to quit youth ministry at the church. I keep going back and forth on it, but I think it might be fairly well set this time. I just delivered my note to basically everyone to let them know that I was resigning as of the last day of the month. Hopefully it all goes out ok. I really hope that I can live without that extra income, but with me just going to school all the time I think that I might be able to handle it. I’m actually driving less even though I’m driving farther to school three times a week. I paid $1.599/gallon for gas this morning which was kind of nice. I actually paid for it myself and didn’t use my Mobil speedpass!

Relationship wise there is nothing new. I don’t think I have time for anything anymore. All I do is school and a little bit of work here and there. This is the slow time of year at GT so the work there is very slim. Things are starting to pick back up though which is really good because I’m definitely going to need the money, especially when my income from the church drops substantially. I get to do some shows at ECHS this week because Wendy doesn’t have any other help and needs me. I had to go through so much work to re-arrange my schedule so that I could be there it’s crazy. I guess it is safe to say that I like to be busy! I still haven’t decided what I want to do, but I think I’m going towards the computer field now, probably networking. I’m working on getting my MCSE, CCNA, WebMaster, etc. certificates/degrees and hopefully that will find me some nice paying job somewhere. I really want to have a nice high-paying job that I enjoy so that I don’t ever have to complain about going to work and I don’t have to worry about money. That is my one really big goal — to not have to worry about financial problems in the future. Maybe I’ll get luck and God will grace me with that pleasure.

… I miss Amy and Aimee. Actually Amy … we seem to have gotten pretty close since high school got out. Aimee and I seem to keep drifting apart …

Well, I should really be getting to sleep as I have to get up and get to ECHS early tomorrow. Hopefully I’ll be able to keep you up to date here in the future. God Bless!
