Under Pressure

October 30, 2006

I am so stressed out that sometimes I wish for a nervous breakdown.  It would be a lot easier than what im dealing with now.  I currently have 8 classes - 48 hours a week - of class.  So much stress.  Then I come back to the apartment and have to deal with my roommates.  They never clean up after themselves.  I constantly have to tell them to pick things up.  Call me Dad.  Its unneeded stress.  I recently did my 3rd certification test and passed with a 920.  So I’m an MCAD(microsoft certified application developer) now.  I have 2 more tests which is even more stress.  Not stress as bad as being Dad, but stress nonetheless.  Can I be put into a coma for the next 6 months and learn through osmosis?

Sick to My Stomache

October 19, 2006

I get an IM this morning from my aunt about a child porn sting.  When I looked at some of the names, I noticed a few people were from my hometown.  I then noticed some of the street names.  Then I noticed one name in particular.  Corey Harris.  He lives at the other end of my street.  This sick bastard has lived at the other end of my street all of his life.  I would watch him walk by my house after school every day.  Now that I think about it, my mother has a daycare, which makes it even more sickening.  We have always known Corey to be a weird kid, so this doesn’t come as a suprise to me.  I wish I were home so there could be something I could do.  But, sadly, I am 2000 miles away.  It just makes me sick to my stomache.

2nd Day of Class

October 12, 2006

Only 9.8 more weeks to go!  I’m sitting here in Business Fundamentals which is about to start.  I am bored out of my mind and incredibly tired.  I didn’t have time to make coffee this morning like I usually do.  And I’m hungry.  I need to start going to bed earlier.  I can’t wait to graduate.  I hope I’m not a drone in the mornings when I get a job, like I am now.  Hmm I think I’m gonna have Panda Express today for lunch.

I had a fantastic idea for a business yesterday, even though it has nothing to do with computers - a business that goes around the country opening franchise restaurants that aren’t located there.  For example, we don’t have water ice here.  If I were to open a Rita’s Water Ice franchise here, it would be an instant hit.  There are foods native to locations throughout the US that you won’t find in other locations.  Ahh, just a thought.

Been Awhile

October 5, 2006

Its been awhile since my last post.  A few days ago I took my 70-315 certification test and passed with an 848/1000.  One more test and I’m a Microsoft Certified Application Developer or MCAD.  Three more and I’m a MCSD.  I need to start studying soon for my next test.  I’ll probably take the next test by the end of october.  I have been sleeping in every day until noon.  Ive never slept this much in my life.  For some reason, I think I’m gonna need it.  This quarter, I have class 48 hours a week.  As always towards the ends of my breaks, I’m ready to go back to Utah.

I love coming home to see friends and family, but It’s time to go back.  I can’t wait to go snowboarding within the next few weeks.  Let’s hope for more snow up in the mountains.  Also, It’s time to start eliminating people from my life.  People have little quirks that bother me.  I’ve put up with these quirks for too long.  I’m sick and tired of people not keeping their word among other things.  I am just gonna write people off and stop talking to them altogether.
