Stories that take a bit longer to get through.

  • 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…

  • Terrible

    That’s the word that describes my day right now. I’m supposed to be working on my composition paper, but I’m going to be up for a while doing that and I need to rant about a few things. Usually I try to maintain a positive outlook on things. After all, there are a whole lot of people…

  • This Was Going to Be a Cool Title

    …until I forgot it. But I’m going to stop being so predictable in this journal. There are all kinds of stresses and things in life, and if you’re always thinking about them, you prevent yourself from really enjoying life. There’s nothing wrong with caring about that stuff; in fact, it’s a requirement. However, sometimes you just have to…

  • Rantage = k/Viewers

    That’s right, rantage has to be inversely related to the number of people who view it. As in, the more I rant, the more people flock in droves…away. Or rather, Michaela is just frazzled because of “life.” Have to find a new job and apply to college and both are really hard, especially when Giant and school…
