It's over

OK, Ok - I've sold out - and moved to myspace. Actually I've been there for awhile. If any of you read this - check me out there. I'll still be in here every once and awhile to comment...

    Thanks, wow, I didn't know you even still checked up on here! I'm definitely still voting, though. I guess, it's all about my duty as a citizen or something...

"thats when I reach for my revolver"

I've recently gone through my old cd's. It's been like Christmas in September. I forgot about some of 'em, especially Moby, especially the Animal Rights cd. It's amazing. It reminds me of my sophmore- junior years at Berea - I had so much fun, yet I was so depressed, maybe that why I stopped listening to it so long ago, hmmm.
Classes are going well, I feel like I'm barely keeping up, but everything is really interesting. I can't remember being so caught up in school, except for a few classes ar Berea (Entomology and perhaps Spelunking and Speleology). I fell like I'm kinda missing out on the night life on campus, there are a few clubs that'd I'd like to join, but I'm never here after 6 p.m. at night it seems, maybe that'll have to change soon. I've been looking for apartments in J.C. - as soon as I can swing it I'm going to move.
I'm so sore from working out - which is a good thing. I haven't started weights yet. I still do some exercises at home like pushups, lunges and crunches, but I'm hoping to get serious soon. I dug out an old copy of "Body for Life", which my older sister gave me a couple years back. I keep putting off the "plan" but it really makes no sense not to get started, or else I'll just be procrastinating indefinitely. I've been putting some major yardage in the pool, I swam a little over two miles today, I can't get enough of it. I'm going to have to cut my workouts in the pool down to perhaps 2.5 miles because I don't want to get in the way of lifting. But for now it's awesome.
As for the love life - its nonexistent. I though I might be making progress - and i might be - but for some reason I always go for the same types, I try to vary, but I always end up with the same ones. Whats up with that? So for now I'm minding my P's and Q's, maybe if I can be happier with myself, the rest will just fall into place - or is that wishfull thinking?
My cell phone keeps dying too, I guess after a two year contract goes up the phone pretty much deteriorates with it? I'm going to have to get a new one soon, I need a local number anyway.
The weather has been so nice here, keeps getting just a little cool at night and its warm and sunny during the day. It makes me almost wish I could swim outside. It's perfect weather to lay outside with someone, and just lay. Miss ya Fran... Peace and hot cheeks!
  • championisme
    yes, fones do die after the two year contract is up, but you should be able to get a local number free of charge without having to renew your plan :-)

  • runningjake
    Sorry to hear about the love of your life, maybe next time it will work out better! We're trying to get into the swimming thing here too, but unfortunately you have to pay everytime you go to the pool, yuck!

    just wanted to say hey! good luck getting a new phone, they'll make you sign a new contract though b/c cell phone companies are bastards. my parents 2 yr ran up in july and their phones just mysteriously died 2 weeks ago...hhmmmmm...does anyone else smell a conspiracy? anyway, verizon made them sign a new contract to get the phones. cell phone co's are part of the evilness in this world.

  • thepolishwonder
    i wish i didnt have a phone, i never use it but somehow manage to go over my alloted minutes??? like right now, its been dead in my car for days. but i'm sure i'll have some outlandish charges at the end of the mth.
    by thepolishwonder at 09/13/05 9:54AM
  • runningjake
    Yeah, I think verizon is the worst. I swear they tried telling me that I had a contract for 4 years once, when I never signed anything!! I decided to never go with them again...
    by runningjake at 09/13/05 10:24AM
  • championisme
    well, you dont have to sign a contract to get a new one... you could pay full price to get one and not have a contract!

"What you gon’ do with all that junk? All that junk inside your trunk?"

I'm finally in all my classes - I guess that means I can't complain no matter how hard they get. Well tough shit - I know I will sooner or later. I'm taking some really kick ass courses: Anatomy, Physiology, Microbiology, and Probability and Statistics. I'm pretty pumped so far. All my classes except the last one mentioned are relatively small and everyone else in these courses are quite motivated too. I think I'm going to be competitive. I'm kinda going through culture shock though - this campus is so big and the students aren't anything like they were at Berea - I feel like I'm on a reality TV show. And Greek life - whats that all about- hell I'd consider being friends with some of these people if they paid me. I'm trying to decide whether to buy books for my Anatomy and Physiology classes - my neighbor may have some that I can borrow - which would be alot cheaper -but I don't know if I can wait much longer. I've got stuff to memorize pronto! I'm definitely excited about the pool though - the gym has a kick-ass, almost brand new pool - I got to swim in it today. Even though I'm outta shape now - just give me a couple of months AND no one ever uses this pool so I practically have it to myself - score! As for the previous post I think I jinxed the last topic. I dunno something just isn't adding up - I hope I'm wrong but I dunno this reminds me of a certain someone with the intials D.M. - I think you might know whom I speak of Fran. Peace and Sheep bleats.

"Even diamonds don't bling in the dark"

I'm smitten with the new Black Eyed Peas cd. It rocks. I've gotten to spend some quality time this past week with my little sister, Maggie. We've been swimming everyday, eaten lots of good food, and she made some really cool mix cds for me. She leaves tonight for Berea, which is kinda sad cause I'll miss her - and cause i wish sometimes it was me going back there too.
I've had some major issues with ETSU admissions - luckily I've found everything i needed online - apparently colleges do everything online these days regardless. I'm excited about my first day of classes next week, nothing like going back to school to get focused ehh? I didn't get into all the classes I need - so I'm going to attend them anyway in hopes that the professors will sign me in or some people will drop out.

    very very true. it's very hard to change some situations that have become habit and i think that's why i'm so frustrated in general
