Brownie burnout
Feb. 27, 2010
I’m totally stealing Jeff’s title. Whatever; it’s cute!
Jeff, Trey and Montishia came over to bake brownies after work. Before we did that though, we went to Hunan Express and my parents paid for all of us. I heard Jeff say thanks twice, but I don’t recall Trey or Montishia saying anything at all, and that really pisses me off. Jeff said that he heard...

Sarku!
Feb. 26, 2010
Sad to think that eating Sarku at the mall was the highlight of my day. Okay, maybe not…but it’s been so long since I’ve had it!
Hanging out with Seth and Jeff at Jordaareo’s was a blast, as usual. :D

Second successful speech
Feb. 25, 2010
I ♥ alliteration! :D
Okay, first off, I’d like to apologize. Apparently I’ve been saving my posts as “drafts” instead of real posts, so none of them have gotten published. I was wondering why my page views plummeted… :(
Anywho, I woke up this morning and wrote my entire speech, but I was a lot more prepared this time. I gave my speech and pulled it...

Suuuper boring day…
I really don’t think anything exciting happened at all.

History fun?
Feb. 23, 2010
We started giving our persuasive speeches today, but I don’t give mine until Thursday. I was freaking out last night because I thought I had forgotten to write my speech, but it was all for naught! ;D
I think I learned more about European history in the 1500s in the hour and a half of history class today than I have about all of history throughout all of my schooling prior...

...Followed by a typical Monday
Feb. 22, 2010
LAN hardware was a snooze fest as usual.
Was supposed to go to Stingers with Jeff but he canceled, so I was gonna go alone…but decided it would be best if I didn’t. I didn’t wanna be a fatty by myself. :(
Attempted the 25-man ICC that I missed last week since a few people were no-shows. We failed hardcore. Gonna try again tomorrow night from scratch, so...

Sleepy~
Feb. 20, 2010
So I got to my internship at 8:30, and waited…and waited…and finally, it was almost 9:00 and still nobody had shown up. I called my mom, and she told me to wait until 9:15, and if no one had shown up by then, I should leave a note and go to the Commissary. I waited fifteen minutes, and finally someone showed up to unlock the doors for me. I spent three hours doing...

Pervy old men
Feb. 19, 2010
After a surprisingly entertaining time at work, Seth picked me and Jeff up from my house and we headed to the mall to meet up with Aaron, Jordan and Leo. Then we headed over to Barnes & Noble where I picked up a copy of What Would Google Do? by Jeff Jarvis, whom I’m a big fan of.
Seth and I decided to split up and get coffee while everyone else grabbed some pizza, and...

More sick
Feb. 18, 2010
I got to school only to find that Mrs. Jones was sick, so chilled in my car until history, which turned out to be quite interesting. Dr. Betty’s a really good professor.
Otherwise, I had pretty much a repeat of Tuesday.

Glad I skipped!
Feb. 17, 2010
I decided to skip my LAN hardware class today just for the heck of it. It’s not like I was gonna learn anything anyways. Had a good time with everyone at work, which is worth a whole lot more than listening to old guys talk like they keep up with technology.
Our 10-man ICC was a total fail. We can’t ever keep the same people in our group, so we get out of sync when...

Take that, Cortés!
Feb. 16, 2010
I was lazy this morning, so I got to school almost fifteen minutes late, which meant I was counted absent for Speech anyways, so I chilled in my car for the remainder of the class. I got my history test back, and I made an 84 on it, which is really exciting considering I hate history and didn’t study at all. My internship was pretty boring, as usual.
Got home and watched...

Sick
Feb. 15, 2010
I woke up this morning to a terrible stomach ache. I won’t go into details, but I had all of the typical “stomach flu” symptoms, and it wasn’t pretty. I ended up going back to sleep until noon, and lounged around the house in my pajamas the rest of the day. :(

Happy birthday, Kyle!
Feb. 14, 2010
Kyle Barnes turned twenty two today. Twenty two! What an old fart! :D
Jeff and I headed over to his house and finished setting up his computer. We spent the night being nerds while being fatties and eating pizza!

Slow Saturdays, part II
Feb. 13, 2010
Work was slooow. It didn’t help that there were like sixteen of us there. To top it all off, we had to work with Lai, who’s now our second head bagger. I’m not sure whether or not she was giving us nasty looks all day, or if her face is just naturally like that, and I couldn’t understand a word she said to me. At least I got to spend time talking to the cool...

Party!
Feb. 12, 2010
Jeff and I headed over to Kyle Barnes’ house to set up his new sexy computer right after work. We were expecting to be done by 8:30 so that we could use it in the living room during his party, but the UPS truck didn’t even show up with the case until around 8:00. Even then, by the time the party had started, I wasn’t even halfway done setting it up. I ended up...

Standby
Feb. 11, 2010
After my internship, I did my first ICC 10-man run with the guild, and it went pretty well. Not nearly as well as the first group, but I pulled my own weight and the leader seemed pleased with everyone’s performance overall. We were planning on continuing it on Sunday, but that’s Valentine’s Day, so I’m not getting my hopes up.

Crossover fail
Feb. 10, 2010
In my LAN Hardware class today, we finally were able to use our networking kits we bought. I made a straight-through cable and a crossover cable, both of which I’ve done dozens of times, thanks to Mr. Stewart’s class a few years back.
My straight-through cable worked fine, but I couldn’t get the crossover cable to work, even though my wire pairs matched up...

Happy birthday, Mary Ann!
Feb. 9, 2010
Mary Ann turned nineteen today! Well, physically, that is. Mentally, we all know she’s still sixteen. Wait…scratch that. Physically, she still looks sixteen too. Just kidding, I love you, Mary Ann! ;D ♥
Aside from that, my days are starting to run together. I feel like I do the same things every day, and I hate it. I need to find a niche, something to keep me occupied....

Addicted?
Feb. 8, 2010
Spent all morning updating laptops again. Yaaay.
I was planning on taking a short nap between my internship and my class at 5:30, but WoW caught my attention and held it hostage. Am I addicted? Sure, I guess so. But hey, my grades this semester have been pretty awesome, even though we’ve only been in for a little over a month. Oh well, I’m confident.
We attempted to...

Spirited Away
Feb. 7, 2010
I had a great night hanging out at Jordaareo’s with Aaron, Jeff and Seth, with surprise visits from Ashley Almond, Kevin and Jordan. Towards the end of the night, we decided to explore a bit and cross the Spirited Away train tracks, which is actually just Holly extending from in town to the Bluff. I’ve known about it for years, and even tried to drive down the Bluff side...

Subbowl Saturday
Feb. 6, 2010
The day before Superbowl Sunday has been the busiest day of the year at the Commissary for the past three years I’ve worked there. So, as you can imagine, I was pumped up and ready to make some serious bank.
The previous years, I made somewhere between $120-$140 in eight hours, which was incredible. However, with the economy in shambles, I was expecting to at least make $80....

Mirror image
Feb. 5, 2010
Fridays are kind of a mirror image of Wednesdays.
Aside from the usual boring, I hung out at Kyle Barnes’ place with Jeff and Seth, and I convinced him to buy a new computer. If he ends up getting it, it’ll melt off all of our faces.
I’ve missed hanging out with Kyle, so I’m really glad we’re doing it more often. :)

Return of the LiiBison
Feb. 4, 2010
I got a 94 on my speech I gave on Tuesday! I’m so excited!
This guy I work with is into computers and such, so he automatically thinks we’re friends. He’s telling me about his “sweet Phenom II system” he bought, and how the parts are coming in soon. Yaaawn… He’s chubby, hairy, and kinda dirty too, which is kind of a turnoff. I’m...

Wednesday, Schmednesday
Feb. 3, 2010
Wednesdays continue to be incredibly boring. Being able to sleep in is nice, and so is the free time until 5:00, but I’d rather be doing something useful.
That is all. :/

LOST!
Feb. 2, 2010
Today was pretty awesome. I woke up an hour early to write a speech that I totally BSed, then drove to Walmart and H-E-B to pick up some index cards and a 3-pack of Mini DVD-RW discs. I gave my speech, which was absolutely terrifying, but managed to actually talk for almost five minutes. It didn’t help that like half of the class consists of networking security majors. No,...

One Month Down, Eleven to Go!
Feb. 1, 2010
It’s been an entire month of blogging! :D
Anywho, I’m SO not a morning person. This whole “waking up at 6:30 so I can be at work at 7:30” thing is so lame. At least I’m getting paid for it though. Speaking of which, I’m not even sure when I get my first check. It’s supposed to be a direct deposit, so I guess we’ll see at the end of...
