well here i am. summer has started and man it feels good to be out of school. those last few weeks when i was working both jobs and going to school during finals and papers and presentations almost destroyed me. i worked hard on my finals and thought i put my fair share into them, but my grades on them were really crappy. somehow i managed to pass all my classes though. now i am homework free for over a month. there is one class in july that i will be taking and other than that my summer is just going to be both jobs.
hollywood video is fine i guess. i'm hoping it won't last longer than the summer. i've been made a shift lead, which basically means lots of paperwork each night, counting money, and telling other employees to help the customers. and maybe a $0.10 raise. level 3 is good. the people are nice and all fairly intellegent. in case you are wondering what i do, i procure parts and licenses and such for all of the projects we do on our network. our network being the internet's backbone. it's a cool company to work for and i get my own office, but that might change soon. we are approved for another intern because our workload is on the heals of increasing tremendously, so this person may be shacking up with me. i guess that is okay, but one of the few things that keeps me sane here is that i can listen to hours of my ipod at work. with a new guy here there might be a chance i will have to socialize or something. and he or she will be asking questions. i don't want to be rude, but i'd just rather listen to music. and hopefully i will be able to get hired on here after i graduate. they pay a ton. it can get stressful and really busy sometimes, but other times it can get slow. such as now. on a friday a couple weeks back i had to miss a concert and stay late because of a nice screwup on my part. tom doesn't believe me and thinks i just ditched him and made up a lame work excuse. well he is mistaken. i am going with ryan to see bob saget perform at the paramount in june. tom is bailing on going, but gets mad at me for missing out on a show. why would i not want to go to a concert anyway??
american idol is over and i freaking called it like the third week. blake was a fluke though. he should never have gotten past melinda doolittle. if it had been jordin and melinda, then it was have been more even in the finals. blake had no chance. anyway, the one series i watch on tv in a given year is over. maybe i'll get back to movies. or maybe running again. haven't had the time for that in months. hopefully start that soon.
this past saturday we (with some help) moved into a different apartment. taller ceiling, extra bedroom, but we lost our magnificent view. oh well. shouldn't get picky i suppose.
nothing else has really been going on. we have just been really busy as usual. hopefully things will calm down. you know i was checking out the people in my phone book and noticed that i don't stay in good contact with like 90 percent of my contacts. that must say something about me, unless that is generally the case with everyone with a cell.
