Football

Last week I helped Amanda move to Jacksonville... It wasn't something I was very happy about doing, but it had to be done... Her apartment seems really nice, big bedroom, mature roommate... Glad things are working out for her, just wish she didn't have to be so far away! This week has been really long without her to lean on...

Well... after helping her move, Dmitri and I drove to Gainesville. We dropped Vaska off at Dmitri's parent's house, and then headed off to see my second best friend Patti. Yes, my second best friend, it is a long story to explain why she doesn't quiet top the list (of course, she is a very close second), so I'll save that for another time... Anyway, when we met up with Patti, she, along with the entire University of Florida dentistry school, were attending a BBQ at a lake right outside Gainesville. They had quite a few events, including a raffle for mp3 players, dvd players, and even a flat screen TV! Well, I was only 10 tickets (out of thousands) away from being the big winner and walking away with that flat screen TV! I was completely bummed about being so close, yet so far from absolute glory... After the BBQ we headed over to her place where we watched some football and just hung out... Once all the good games were over, we went to what I think is the best restaurant in Gainesville, and then we went to see the movie "Open Season" (which I recommend if you like animated films)... My only regret about the whole weekend is that short time I was there... I got there late Saturday afternoon and had to leave first thing on Sunday... It would have been nice to see my other Gainesville friends, it has been forever... Of course, it'd probably be weird since it's been so long... <sigh> oh well, next trip I'll definitely have to at least give them a call...

On another note, I finally was able to get something better than a B on a Aggarwal test! Very proud of myself, of course it is just one test, and now there is a 14 page paper and an intense program due... but at least I was able to prove to myself that I can do it, it'll help motivate me for the final...

Lastly, but definitely not least, I was asked to be in my cousin Tara's wedding this December, which makes me feel real special, even if it is just ushering... I am going to be the best damned usher there ever was! I am also in my sister's wedding in July... man everyone's getting married!

I can finally finish school because we (FSU) finally beat UM! It wasn't an amazing game, but it was still great to see... I can't believe it! YAY! I have always hated the Hurricanes because they are cocky, big headed, and mean... and finally we beat them... I had about 15 people over to watch the game and have a pre-game BBQ... I cooked hamburgers, hot dogs, and corn on the cob using both my grills... Before the game they played two-hand-touch in my backyard while they waited for the food and the other guests to arrive... It was a ton of fun... Miami finally got a taste of what it is like to have a crappy kicking team... wide right, wide left, and bad snap... Hopefully we will win the rest of our games and go on to win the national championship... but even if we don't, I am satisfied now that we beat Miami!

My family is probably going to come up here to out run the hurricane that is coming... FREE FOOD! yay... they said they will most likely be here Thursday night. Depending on where the hurricane is headed of course...

I still love my job, it is the third day now, and I get to sit here and do whatever I want... super... I am at work right now.

I got my new hard drive yesterday and I am getting my new RAM today... my computer will be super... I already have Linux up and running and now I need to install Windows... At least I will have something to do this weekend... either hang out with my family, or work on my computer to get it just right...

The Sims 2 comes out soon, I want to preorder it... They have a DVD edition so you don't have to have a million CD's...

I have maintained my goal weight of 180lbs... I am going to try and loose more though... I use to be 206ish before my diet, and I peaked at 213... my ring doesn't even fit me anymore... my fingers probably weighed 10 of those pounds I lost... he he... I have lost all this weight on a CARB ONLY diet... which I think I should start marketing... I could make millions...

My History teacher is leaving for 2 weeks.... she is going to China to pick up her newly adopted baby (16 months)... if we go to class when she is gone we get extra credit on our midterm... and on this Thursday class is canceled... (we have to do some stupid online thing that takes five seconds instead of doing class) My history textbook is actually interesting, it isn't really textbookish... it is more novelish... and all the questions that she is going to ask us are opinion questions with short answer/essay answers...

Miami/FSU game is this upcoming Monday at I think 8:00... going to be exciting... hopefully we will win for the first time since I became a Seminole.

I have been asking around and it turns out that most people in my major don't have over a 3.0 GPA, they all have like 2.8s and stuff... so it is really looking like I am a strong contender for the National Security Agency scholarship that I want...

I might be a TA next semester, but I am afraid of looking stupid... but if I am a TA I get paid at least $10 an hour and no matter how much you work you get paid for 20 hours a week... so if I did that, and this, and the website I would be a full time employee and might be able to get a faculty decal...

I might be getting Gmail in the next few weeks... which is an invite only thing... so I am excited... (Gmail is Google's new mail thingy that is all the rage) I will be able to invite some people after I have had the account for a while... if anyone is interested let me know...

Ok, I am boring so DONE
