Growin' On Up In The World

Well, its been about two months so I thought I'd check in with all y'all! :)

Things in my life are a bit different nowadays. I'm actually not going to return to university in the fall as was originally planned. Instead, I think I shall stick around my hometown and work for a year. I may decide to return in a years time, but I just don't believe university is right for me at this point. I wasn't fully committed as I should have been, and spent way too much time playing xbox... I know, not surprising. My grades were never good, and I ended up getting put on academic probation. Don't worry, it sounds worse than it is. A.P just means they are restricting the amount of classes I can enroll in to three rather than five, and I am required to take a course titled Student Success Program. I've actually already completed that course, so I wouldn't be required to do it again. If I were planning to go back, I could attempt to appeal my probation and get four courses rather than three, but meh. No need.

What other random information could I put in here to overload your brains... AHA! My job.
So I get home from UNI on April 20th right? Next day, first full day I'm at home, what do my parents do? Jump on my back about me getting a job. I honestly couldn't even enjoy ONE day at home just resting. Needless to say, I ended up going job hunting; I found a job in a record four days, and started April 27th. I worked for the whole month of May I worked 12 hour shifts four days on, four days off from 6am - 6pm. Sounds rough right? Well, now that I've been trained on days, I'm switched to nights, as I was hired for the night shift. Now I work from 6pm - 6am. I'm actually really enjoying working the night shift; there are a lot less customers, I can work at my own pace and I don't have any superiors hovering around my head. That, and half the time I'm literally just sitting on my laptop doing nothing. Right now I'm sitting here staring at my laptop and grinning like an idiot because I'm trolling Adam on Google docs! xD Too funny!

Anyway, so they had this event in the town where I live called the Relay For Life. Its where you walk around a track all night in support of cancer research. I used to have a team way back when with my family, but now they are getting older so they stopped putting the team together. This year I didn't go with a team, but I did hang out with a couple friends all night ^_^ One I hadn't really spoken to in person since September 2011. It was a great night and I'm so glad I went! I was up all night just talking to one in their vehicle. I didn't have a place to sleep, and I had to drive someone home in the morning so I couldn't really go home either. All in all it was a good night!

I feel like I should really put something else in this post.. I have a lot of lost time to make up for. I suppose I could explain my major absence from Xbox live in the past two months. So remember how I moved back from university on April 20th? Well, I live on a mountain, and because I live on a mountain I get absolutely horrid internet connection. Due to that connection, I have been virtually unable to play any online games, and often am unable to stay in a party. It is extremely frustrating and problematic. I even invested in an updated router but that didn't do much for me. My long term plans are to earn enough money to rent an apartment somewhere in town for a reasonable amount per month, and have a stable internet connection in said apartment. I now have a car, so living on my own is starting to seem a little more reasonable!

Well, I've wasted enough of your time, so I'll let you go on your merry way! Have an excellent night and kick some butt on CoD for me! ;)
