Stories that take a bit longer to get through.

  • By the Way? I Moved.

    For my extended weekend, I packed my life into boxes and moved it from my house into a townhouse. My parents got separated and my brother and I are going to be living with my mom now. I know this is news to a bunch of my friends; sorry about that. I’m not really into talking about…

  • Return to All That Is Routine

    I ended up writing way too much here, so pick a random paragraph! And headers are different. I’m just beginning to enjoy all the über-features of deviantART with my temporary paid account. Thanks to the Holiday Card Project, I’m enjoying a free month, and I just might end up paying the price to keep it going. w00t.…

  • Feliz Navidad

    Yes, I’m still pensando en español, thanks to the final exam I had tonight. Actually, it wasn’t that big of a deal, because I only had to get five points out of fifty to maintain my current average. It’s really nice to take a final exam that you’ve prepared for when there isn’t a whole lot of pressure…

  • Me: 1 Life: 3

    Or maybe, “one step forward counteracting three steps backward.” Today was going well this morning. Really, it was. I talked to Rachel for a little while, ate breakfast, and got all kinds of questions answered in my Chem class. I felt so prepared for Wednesday’s exam, I thought about taking it early. Yesterday, I spent quite a bit…

  • Paul, Go Die

    Paul is one of those few people who can disappear without a trace. He’s also one of those guys whose name is invoked with every question I ask about my hiring with CompUSA. As many of you know, I got the hire confirmation with this store quite some time ago, yet for some reason I still…

  • They Didn’t Hate Me

    That would be referring to Rachel’s relatives, the ones I got to meet this past weekend. It was rather interesting, especially since most of Rachel’s family hadn’t seen these people in a good while either. Her grandma was cool, and her aunts and cousins seemed alright. Rachel and I and a few other members of her immediate family…

  • Rachel Weekend!

    I find it helps clear my mind a little if I write one of these journals before embarking on a quest to write a good composition paper. I’m going to need all the +1UP’s I can get while working on this one. It’s the first composition paper all year that I have zero motivation for, as it’s…

  • Two Weeks Notice

    That’s what I gave to Giant yesterday. I work tomorrow, and a few hours on Friday, and then I can hang up my red Giant shirt for good. And exchange it for a red CompUSA shirt, because I got hired with them. I’m going to be working sales floor instead of cashiering which is a major improvement. Especially…
