Blogger is working again!! If you didn't know, blogger hasn't been working for...well, a long time. I'm currently watching Star Wars on Spike (Attack of the Clones for anyone who cares) and thought I'd check out blogger to see if it was working. Guess it's time for an update!
Because I go to two different schools, I'm on two different schedules. Columbus State (aka C State or CSCC) just started up yesterday but a week ago I finished my midterms for Miami. Yeah, it sucks not to have the breaks match up but I figure once I graduate I can have two or three weeks in California or somewhere with a beach, a book, and a margarita :) Maybe not the latter but definitely the two formers.
I still haven't figured out my financial aid situation yet; I have an email into someone who is either the last person I need to talk to or will point me to the last person I need to talk to. As ridiculous as this entire thing is, the one thought that is getting me through is the fact that I'm going to be done with school by next year. Yeah that scares me half to death because I still haven't told my parents I'm planning on joining the military (that's still the plan as long as I feel God sending me in that direction) but I'm also excited because that means I'm one step closer to being who and what I was made to be: an engineer. There's another post about why I want to be an engineer, so I'm not going to go into that again, but just knowing I'm one step closer is exhilarating.
So besides continuing with school, work, and church, there is nothing much new with me. A few of the shows I favor during the summer have started which is exciting. What are they you ask? Starting Tuesday is White Collar and Covert Affairs, Wednesday is Royal Pains, Thursday is Burn Notice, and Sunday is In Plain Sight. Yes, they're all on USA but I don't like almost 99% of the other shows on TV. Okay that's an exaggeration, but it has to be about 90% of the shows out there are crap. I mean, Family Guy? Desperate Housewives? Anything on VH1, MTV, BET, E!, and every other channel that didn't exist 10 years ago? I mean really, how many different shows about famous, socialite, or musical families do we really need? It seems TV shows and movies are now being aimed at the lowest common denominator and filled with crude humor, horrible 'role models', and plots that aren't even smirk worthy. What happened to the days of Lucille Ball, Carol Burnett, Dick Van Dyke, Mary Tyler Moore, and Johnny Carson? What happened to true slap-stick comedy, humor that had intelligent design behind it, and plots that were as refreshing as they were witty?
Okay, I get it. If the only think I have to complain about (or have an hour complaining about over a blog) is the lack of good television shows on TV, my life is going pretty well. To be honest, things aren't going so great now in my life. School is what I'm sinking myself into and while I study I like having the TV on for background noise. Hence the rant.
I really don't want to go into the specifics; what I can say, or at least what I will reveal, is that a problem that has persisted for the last decade has reared its ugly head and struck again. Not as bad as in the past but the situation is still crappy. Oh yeah, and Yoseph isn't at C State anymore. He can tell you about that. Like I said, crappy situation but I've survived worse and this time I'm leaning on God to help me through this difficult time.
Hope this finds you all (I think there are 5 or 6 loyal visits and readers) well and thank you for reading! I know I speak for Yoseph and myself when I say we'd love to hear from you. Hear your experiences with work, school, family life, anything you wish to share we'd love to read.
So without further ado; peace out!
