I'm crazy
Jan. 31, 2010
I’m pretty sure I spent all day cleaning my room, even though it wasn’t that dirty to begin with.
No, really. I spent all day doing that. D:
Also, this marks an entire month of blogging, adding further to my craziness.

Slender Man
Jan. 30, 2010
Saturdays are my only real money-making days at the Commissary now that I’ve got the internship, but for some reason I couldn’t really bring myself to work. I ended up making $28 all day, but from what I understand, most of the others only made around $50 anyways. Only a few actually applied themselves and made like $80-90. I’ve almost consistently made the most...

Falling into a routine
Jan. 29, 2010
I lazied (not even sure if lazied is a word, but it is now) around the house today until 4:30, then went into work only to find out that it was like the slowest day all week. Regardless, I got to hang out with the rest of the baggers, which made coming in worth it. :)
I have a feeling that a lot of my blogs are going to be short like this from now on, because that same boring...

Worksick...wait, what?
Jan. 28, 2010
Speech was fun, as usual. I really love Mrs. Jones; she’s so quirky and fun. I spent most of history doodling and sketching out designs for my website, but he has study guides and lesson plans/notes on his personal website anyway.
I miss everyone at the Commissary, so I’m really looking forward to seeing them tomorrow!

Sorry!
Jan. 27, 2010
I didn’t really do anything terribly exciting today. Got to sleep in again, which was a plus.
School was boring, and we got out over an hour early. My mom seems suspicious about me coming home so early all the time, but I know she’s just messing with me…I hope.
P.S. - Sorry for not keeping up with my blog, but I just got really lazy this entire week. D:

The saga continues...
Jan. 26, 2010
Class was boring, and the internship wasn’t much better. I had the option of staying until 7:00, but when everyone had already left at 5:00 and I was bored out of my mind until 6:00, I took the chance to go home an hour early. That one hour felt like an eternity. I wasn’t supposed to surf the web with the computer, so I opened up a Last.fm tab and played my library,...

Identity theft
Jan. 25, 2010
People never think it’s gonna happen to them. Heck, I’m guilty of it too. But today I got a letter in the mail from Credit Management, LP, a debt collection agency, saying that I owe $122.23 to Charter Communications, a cable company. I called them, and found out that the purchase was made back in August 2008. The lady then proceeded to ask for my Social Security...

Dinner at Niko's
Jan. 24, 2010
As usual, Sundays are my extremely lazy days. I couldn’t fall asleep until 4:00 last night, so I woke up around 1:30. An hour or so later, Sarah texted me, inviting me to dinner with her, Aaron, Jeff and Seth. We got to Niko’s Steakhouse around 6:00 and got seated in Kyle Barnes’ area. I didn’t order anything, but the bread there is still delicious,...

"And today was a day just like any other..."
Jan. 23, 2010
I got to wake up a bit later than usual, but in exchange I had to sit at the post office for over an hour while my sister and I waited to get our passports renewed. We got there at 9:15, and there were four families ahead of us. As it turns out, it apparently takes almost ten minutes per person to get everything done. When we were finally called in, we got done in less than ten...

Friday night it's time to party!
Jan. 22, 2010
Nothing exciting really happened today before 7:00. At that time, however, a bunch of the baggers + Seth all came to my house and watched The Hangover. It was…alright, but not nearly as funny as everyone made it out to be. We watched a bunch of hilarious YouTube videos before and after the movie, and around 11:00 we decided to go home.
After dropping off Montishia and Trey,...

I love my internship!
Jan. 21, 2010
Today was my first real day on the job, and it was pretty chill. I learned how the laptop checkout system works, and had to give out a few laptops on my own, which was fun. The rest of time working was spent organizing the new office I’ll be working from, so I essentially got paid for 3 hours worth of work to move some laptop bags around. I could definitely get used to...

I love my school schedule!
Jan. 20, 2010
I got to sleep in until just about noon today, did whatever I wanted until 5:00, then went to class for just a few hours. I even got to drive the Fit!
That was my whole day. This semester’s going to be awesome.
Oh, and I also decided to stop spamming my daily picture on my blog. It just takes up too much space. I’ll start putting them onto either my Flickr or...

Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag, Mami! ♥

Today was my mom’s forty-third birthday! :D
I got a call right after I woke up from Mrs. Gutierrez…and she told me I got the internship! It’s not like it wasn’t already set in stone, but still! She asked if I could come in after class at 2:30, which I gladly did. After getting my schedule worked out (which I’ll list later on) I had to take an...

TGIAH!

I’ll let you figure that one out.
I apologize for posting this a day late. By the time I was done with cleaning my room and getting some other work done last night, I was just way too tired to crank out a blog. I assure you, however, that the picture was taken yesterday!
Anywho, like I said, I spent all day cleaning up my room and getting everything organized again. I...
My new (old) domain! →
I let my domain expire after I hadn’t done anything with my site for over a year. I decided it was time to renew just the domain without the hosting. It might take a while for the DNS to propagate, so I apologize if you can’t read my blog for a while.

Happy birthday, Marin!
Jan. 17, 2010
I went to my little cousin’s sixth birthday party today. I see my cousins a lot throughout the year, but I don’t see their cousins very often. It was kind of shocking to see how much they’ve grown. Like Hailey, she’s fourteen, already looks like a young woman with her eyebrows done, makeup on, etc. Granted, she’s starting to look like a hooker, but she...

The Commissary just got a lot duller
Well, today started out with a big punch in the face. Mary Ann got upset and left work in a storm, ending up in her being fired/quitting. Our boss, Edith, was being really anal about everything today (presumably because of the new bagger), and I’m sure that had something to do with it, but I think I understand—better than anyone else,...

Peace of mind
I’m four days too late, but it looks like Jeff’s and my idea to blog every day has caught on. I’m looking forward to reading about what goes on in their lives since we don’t get to see each other now that school started again. :)
I should also use this time to post a disclaimer that should’ve been up from day one. This is going to be a place where I...

School was boring. Well, Speech was actually quite entertaining. However, I almost fell asleep twice during US History. I’m lucky my schedule worked out so nicely this semester, because none of my boring classes are more than an hour and a half. Otherwise, I might find myself really falling asleep.
I also went ahead and started moving some furniture around in my room to...

Coming up with 352 more witty blog titles is going to be tough…
This morning, I had to go and register for another class to take the place of the Fiber Optics class that didn’t make it. I went with LAN Hardware and Wiring because it’s fun and is scheduled at an even better time than Fiber Optics: Mondays and Wednesdays from 5:30-8:20/ That way, I only have to miss one day of...

“Stop This Train”
In response to Seth’s question as to whether first-day-of-school nervousness goes away: I don’t think so. Today was an especially antsy first day for me. Not only was I actually excited about my classes, but it’s also my last semester here at Del Mar. Also, it helps that my schedule was pretty awesome.
The first class of the day was speech. I had...

Today is not only another one of those super geeky days, but also one of the only two palindromes this year!
As for me, I got up an hour early (like 11 o’clock instead of, like, noon…) to sign up for an extra class so that a) I can stay insured under my parents as a full-time student and b) I might as well take some cheap extra classes that I know will transfer. I ended...

Were you feeling extra geeky today, and you’re not sure why? Well, today was the second of nine dates this year that look like binary values when put into MM/DD/YY format. I didn’t know about it until today, so I missed the first one (Jan. 1) this year. What’s even cooler is that there are only thirty-six of these dates this entire century. The more you know!

Coffeeeee~
Hi, my name is Chris, and I’m addicted to coffee. Well…frozen drinks with coffee in them. I solely blame Lee Tran for this, as we probably visited Starbucks at least three times every day while we were up in Chicago with Aaron. Anywho, after a failed attempt yesterday, I decided to go on another late-night Starbucks run, and it was so worth it, even though I accidentally...

Nerd night: round two
I got a copy of my social security card made, so I’m finally done with my internship application. Now all I can do is play the waiting game. Hopefully I only have to play until next week. D:
Seth finally got a copy of X-Men Legends 2, so Jeff and I went over to his house and played that for a few hours, but I got super tired after only a few hours so we left...

It’s cold…
…and I’m loving every second of it! It’s supposed to get down all the way to 29° tonight! :D
Aside from the weather, nothing particularly exciting happened today. I turned in my paperwork for the internship only to find out that I need a copy of my social security card (which I didn’t have on me) so I’ll need to go back tomorrow.
Also, a...

Boom! No…what? Yeah! Super Mario 2 style!
I woke up this morning at 9:00 with the intention of going with Aaron and Jeff to get a tour of the apartment they liked yesterday. I had just really woken up when I got a call from Mr. Klepac, the guy who was talking to me about my internship at Del Mar, and he said he wanted to meet at 10:00. I texted Jeff and Aaron to let them know, only to find...

Money must be funny in a rich man’s world
I started out the day with three big goals: to land an internship, to switch banks, and…I think that’s it actually.
The internship thing went really well! One of my parents’ clients happened to mention that he worked at Del Mar and could possibly get me an internship there, so I gave him a call today. He was a really nice, and...

The calm before the storm…
I actually woke up at 11:00 this morning, despite having been on the road trip yesterday. 11:00 may not be early for some people, but it is for me. It’s a shame school starts back up again next week, because now I’ve gotta slowly start adjusting my sleep schedule. Ah well, I think school will bring some much-needed order back to my life.
I was...

ROAD TRIP!
Aaron, Seth and I went to rape and pillage San Marcos’ and San Antonio’s outlets and strip malls today. Jeff was supposed to come, but had to cancel at the last minute. :(
I didn’t end up buying anything except a bottle of cologne that I really, really enjoy. (It’s my last, I promise!) Aaron only bought a jacket, and half of the reason was because it was...

Slowbro fasho
Work was slow. WoW was slow. I was slow in taking my picture for today, so please excuse my nappy, greasy hair.
Today was a pretty slow day overall. Luckily, tomorrow should be fucking rad thanks to the roadtrip to San Marcos/San Antonio with 3 of my favorite people in the world! :D

My New Year’s Resolutions
2009 was, without a doubt, the best year of my life thus far. I feel that I’ve grown so much as a person over the course of just twelve months. Looking back at even such small things as messages and texts I wrote to people last year, I have to wonder, “Wow, did I really write that?” I lost almost 20 lbs, but I’m still pretty insecure about...
