Oh!! I ALMOST FORGOT

Monterey High School has won their first 3 football games!! We're on a winning streak...How weird is THAT?! The year AFTER I leave...Geeze...the year BEFORE I was there...It was just not my destiny to be in high school with a winning football team...I mean...I guess last year they won. 3 games in one year, whereas they won 1 game in 3 years... And now they're 3-0. How odd...

College is definitely different than high school. If anything, it'd be the homework load and standard of work. I'm into my 5th week at CSUMB, I think it's the 5th week, but any ways, the work load is starting to build. I have a midterm next Wednesday in calculus...which I'm SCARED to death about. I gotta start to really study now. Review what we've covered in class and such. Essentially what I've been doing is completing my homework which we turn in once a week and getting by in that, okay. I'm not sure my math teacher likes me too much too. Or maybe he does, but he just seems like he doesn't? I have no clue, all I know is I get a funny look and attitude when he's around me or helping me. Or maybe that's the way he is? Who knows. FYS is goin' okay, but on top of our normal assignments we have a group project and a project of our own to do. Two projects at once...how much does that suck? ;- Tech Tools is okay. I gotta start working on my stuff for the next deadline. I turned in my work for the deadline this Thursday almost two weeks early and I haven't heard ANYTHING, yet, about those. I e-mailed the teacher to ask, though. It kind of worries me...because if there's a problem with any of them I have to work REALLY fast to get them returned in on time...The next set of stuff is pretty easy. It's a bibliography, research question, excel, and something else. I also need to start learning DreamWeaver for my webpage. I just have to make a BASIC website, though, which is good.

Work is going well too. My boss had me working 4 days in a week, which was a bit hard for me, for a while, but I'm back to 3 days now. Work is still going good and such. *shrugs* I'm getting better at finding things in the store, but I'm still having to ask someone about once a day where something could be, but I'm getting better at figuring it out for myself. I've had a few people "take my name." I could be starting my own fan club...a lot of the sellers get that from people they help well. I got to talk to Ron Dias on the phone, who is an illustrator for Disney. He seems like a nice guy and he's done a LOT of the Disney books that people recognize. It's amazing. I also got a photographer to sign a few posters for me that he took the pictures for. He does the photos for the Salinas Air Show and such. The say the least, this last week at work was very interesting for me.

Aquarium is goin' good still. I'm taking off this comin' Sunday to study for my math midterm, since that night I'm working. It's promo night at work, so...we'll see. The white shark is the biggest thing there. It's still doin' well too. Been feeding pretty well and low stress level on her. It HAS brought a TON of visitors to the aquarium lately since she's the only great white shark on display in the entire world. The aquarium is also 3 days off from the record of keeping a great white in captivity too. I have entirely mixed feelings about having one on display. I think it's great and a good educational tool, but I dunno.

Any ways, MUST GO! Gotta get back to the homework. Latas

Oh, and I found a phone cover, btw. Got it at Cingular phone station-thingy at the mall in Salinas. Cost me like $25... *grumbles* There was a sales tax, state tax, and city tax. HOW stupid is THAT?! Bleh, but I got my phone cover, which is good for me.

I'm also making a Christmas list already, weird huh? But at least I'll REMEMBER what I wanted when Christmas time comes closer! I do say, though, gift certificates to Borders will solve so many things... It seems like as I get older the stuff I want gets more expensive...well...excluding CDs and DVDs. Oh well. Who knows?

DEFINITELY it for now.

Oh GOODNESS! I didn't update saying I got my COMPUTER and iPOD...what's the world coming to? Yeah, I got my computer and iPod. I sold my 5GB iPod to a family friend for a $100, so with that money and the rebate...I got my 20GB iPod for free. I still have to send in that rebate too. Gotta remember that...But yeah, I love my computer...comes in handy a lot. I can do my school work anywhere now and it's just nice over all, especially the wireless Internet.

Okay, that's all now!

WELL! I haven't updated in a LONG time.

I might as well begin in the point of...I got promoted at work after a month or so. Been working as a Seller now for...about 2 weeks, I think. Time seems to be running away from me is all I have to say. So I get paid 50 cents more an hour than being a cashier. It's pretty fun. I walk a LOT more now because of customers and such and I know the store definitely better. I can take orders and such too. It's kind of interesting, but fun also.

That's all that's really been happening for me lately. I can't say much else interesting has been happening. School is going okay. I'm studying real calculus now, derivatives and such. Lab is going okay too, though sometimes it takes more than 2 hours to complete what he has for us to do. First year seminar (FYS) is going okay too. I'm getting to know the students better and I feel like I have "friends" now in that class. Calculus, I'm SLOWLY beginning to get to know people in my calc lab, not so much in my actual class though. Tech tools (CST) is also going all right. I am taking it independently, and I turned in my first 4 assignments today also. Took some time to figure out some things, getting picture sizes from MB to KB was interesting, but I got it done. I haven't really joined clubs or anything since I'm still trying to get use to college and working at the same time. One or the other would be fine, but both at the sametime isn't the greatest.

I think that's all that's going on for me. I'll update some other time I find the time, deem it important, or purely bored.
