Howdy'sI don't have much to update on.
I had dinner at Grandview tonight with my parents and some friends, though I got there as everyone was finishing up their food. I had slept until about 7:30...
I heard Dave talk about what he told his son who was kicked off the baseball team. It's always interesting to see someone get really (REALLY!) fired up.
That's all for now. I don't/didn't work today, so I've got all night to do whatever...whatever that could be.
So long!

p.s. Payless was really funny last night.
Summer

Hello, BloggerI think we're starting our 3rd week of summer vacation, and wouldn't you know it, I already want to go back to school. Typical summer vacation, I suppose. But at least I have a lot to look forward to at school, like the Beatles class, astronomy, and a house.
I wish I could say this summer has been outstanding, but when is it ever? I'll start with the good things.
I'm working a lot, so at least I'm keeping busy. I usually work 4 8-hour days (well, nights) at Payless, and 2-3 4-hour days at Blimpie. So I will most definitely be getting fat phat pay checks. Rock on.
And....the crap side. Not to seem deperate for help or any of that crap, but I've been kind of depressed lately. I really haven't seen any (well, minus 2) friends since summer started. I've talked with a few online, but I hate talking online. Well, not hate, but it's not the same. (one of my away messages is "instant messager is the worst form of communication ever." I haven't had that up, but that's generally how I feel). Seriously? Where is everybody? What are you doing?
I normally don't write about this stuff, but nobody reads this thing anyways (but if you do, I do not mind).
I was so bored tonight. I wasn't working, so my only plan to stay home and watch Newsradio. Well, I got to the end of the series. So I decided to go out for a little drive. I don't think I've been to many other places then the payless area since being home. So I drove down to Scatterfield, ate at arby's (it was almost 4am...and I knew they were open 24 hours), then drove out southwest of town. Basically I just thought about what I would write in here. And that's about all I have to say for now.
Talk to ya'll's later
So long!

Time for another bone-crunching update from that mysterious young lad they call Adam, or as Hershey 3 calls him, White Tiger, thanks to his mad golf skillz.To make things a little more interesting, I'll write this update in reverse chronological order, like on a resume.
Today I had my interview with Kroger, and wouldn't you know it, they hired me. The went ahead and took the drug test right there, and they will have the results Friday. Then i can do all the paperwork, Saturday I can do orientation, and after that it's working and stocking from 10pm to 6am. It should be interesting.
I watched The Life Aquatic again last night. And again, it was excellent. Have you ever watched a movie and it seems you are the only one enjoying it?
I came home on Monday (finally). I had spend Saturday afternoon, Sunday almost all day, and Monday afternoon helping Andy move out. It was a long process because a)He had a lot of stuff and not a lot of boxes, and b)we were lazy and watching a lot of Arrested Development. We got it done, though, and I think he's in Europe right now.
We watched Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Saturday night. Excellent. I'm listening to teh soundtrack right now.
I moved out of Hershey 3 Saturday morning. I think Andy was still drunk when he helped me move. I'm going to miss the floor. Not necessarily the facilities (mos def not the facilities), but I'll miss the people. Luckily several of them will be living together next year, so that means lots of parties.
Finals week finally ended, and by now I know my grades. German: A, C212: A, E104 A (i think), Spanish: A-, Linear Algebra: B+. woot. I'm kinda bummed about the linear grade, but I really pulled my grade up in there, and I got a 90 on the final. Plus, that's a junior level math course, so kick ass.
Finals week in general wasn't bad. My schedule was much nicer than last semester. I had plenty of time to relax, and I even managed to find some time to study.
I think that about brings me up to speed. This summer should be an alright one. Current plans: work a lot, start running again (maybe tomorrow...always tomorrow), play some basketball (someone gave me one on the floor), do stuff with some friends (though this department has been lacking lately, not number of friends, but the activities with them...ah well), and do some fishing. I don't know if I have any friends who like to fish, but I can always go with Mom on Wednesdays, if she's not doing anything.
I think that'll do for now. Thanks for reading if you've made it this far, and so long!
Adam
P.S. I finally started work on my uber-cool photo gallery giggiter-doo last week. I now have the beginning stages of a file manager, as in it can list files and rename (oooh batch renaming! Fancy!).

I can't sleep :(On 2005-05-01 at 5/01/2005 06:11:00 PM...
Oooooh sometimes people really piss me off.Maybe you remember a few months ago when I won this. I also forgot to mention that the only reason I won that is because a friend picked the teams for me. It was a good system. My friend (let's call him Matt) signed all four of us up with different teams, so we would all have a better chance of winning. The deal was that if we won, we would all split the pizzas, and whoever actually won would get everything else. Sounds great. Until someone gets a little spoiled.
We used one of the pizzas immediately. Matt and I shared it, the other two were out somewhere. So now we're down to 3. It's getting towards the end of the year, and we decided rather than try to find a time when we can all use them together, we would just split them up (It is actually one coupon for 3 pizzas). One person in the group decided he didn't want his, and the other one is giving his to Matt. I was slightly pissed (well a little more) but I got over it. Whatever.
We know one restaurant will split up the coupon into 3 separate ones. That's great. The problem is you have to drive over there. I don't have a car, but Matt does. So I figure he would drive and we could get them together. Seems fine. Unfortunately, Matt is a little bitch (I don't care if I'm name calling). He doens't want to drive all the way over there unless I pay him gas money.
At this point a little bargaining commences. He says he should have all 3 pizzas because I got the "$30 shirt." I say that's bullshit because the original deal was we would split up the pizzas. He says he deserves it, recalling all the times he drove me to Kroger, and the time he helped carry up all my pop. I said I offered him some of my coke but he didn't want any. So he starts bitching about how I never asked for any gas money. Blah blah blah. Friends don't ask for gas money on a Kroger run. I'm standing by my point of what the original deal was, splitting the pizzas. His argument is "Why don't you just make it easier and just give them all to me?" I said because that's not fair, and he goes back to the $30 shirt. He then pulls the "I'm a poor kid" card. Oh no you didn't. He says money is kind of tight right now. I said "at least you have a job" (not my 8-mile tone, though that would have been awesome). Seriously, he keeps talking about how he makes $3000 a year tutoring (which by the way he was supposed to get me a job doing that, and he never did...BITCH!). PLUS he has a shitload of food in his room, because he's been spending all his mealpoints in the last 2 weeks (2 weeks ago he still had 900 meal points). So don't pull that poor shit on me. And besides, and I said this to him, it's just a pizza. And then I said he's being an ass.
He ended the argument by saying "If you ever need something from me, don't bother asking" or something along those lines.
What really pisses me off though, is that I have been trying to be nice to him. In the past few months he has been severely depressed. He almost stopped eating, and he never did anything. I tried to help him out by having dinner with him and just trying to have conversations with him. I even burnt him a cd. I was just trying to be a friend to him, something he was lacking from other people on the floor. And this is my thanks?
So the final decision is that I would have my brother drive me to the papa johns to split it up.
man.....
In other news, my dorm can get wireless internet now. Woot!
Not it's time to study for my spanish final and my cs final tomorrow. Wednesday I have my crime in the media final, and friday is my linear algebra final. Friday night i'm getting drunk. Saturday morning i'm moving out. I'll stay with Andy for a couple days and help him move. I'll leave sunday or monday or tuesday. Wednesday I have a job interview with Kroger. That is the tentative schedule for now.
So long,
Adam
P.S. how mean would it be to put his facebook link on here so people could bitch to him? I won't do that.
