New Semester, New Schedule

And I know you are all dying to know what the schedule for this new semester will be. When making this schedule, I discovered how excited I get when thinking about a new schedule. The thrill and wonder of what each class may bring. From the teacher to the material to my classmates. It entices me to learn something new. That is why I am taking...

Intro to Physical Geography and Lab - Monday and Wednesday 12-2:45pm
Intermediate Algebra - Monday and Wednesday 3-4:15pm
Plant Growth and Development - Monday and Wednesday 7:10-9:50pm

Mythology - Tuesday and Thursday 9-10:15am
Elementary Spanish 2 - 11-12:50pm

Yeah. Fridays off!!! And only twice a week will I have to wake up before noon! If you know me, you know that this is the perfect schedule for me!

Everyone is Fond of Owls!!!

Recently, I realized that nearly every house out here has an owl somewhere in the house. Something like.....



It has become a game, during every install I go to, that I play the game, 'Find the owl'.

Its been pretty fun!

If you don't know why owls are so enjoyable, check out this video.

Blaming The Roommates

I have some pretty cool roommates. Brad, Gene, and Jeffrey are all guys I met last year during my last summer. The four of us hang out a lot. We go out to eat, go to movies, go shopping, play video games, and eat mostly as a group. The issue is that, since I have this blog, I like doing things that are 'blog worthy' which means I have to hang out with these guys when they go out. There is a 99% chance that something crazy will happen and there is an 100% that someone will say something crazy. So I need to be there so you can all hear about it. Bring there means I can't be here. Well, at least not until I find a way to be in two places at once with the same consciousness. And that doesn't seem very likely to happen in thee near future, so deal with it!

Blaming Sleep

As you all know, I LOVE my sleep. It is one of my favorite things. I used to think I was actually a fairly heavy sleeper, but have recently discovered that I just can fall asleep whenever, not that I can stay that way.

Well, I blame the lack of blogging on sleep in this way, I have a roommate that won't wake up for his alarm. Sure, he will roll over and hit snooze (only about half the times the alarm goes off), but then he falls back asleep. Plus, he is a very popular person so he gets a lot of phone calls and texts, sometimes early in the morning when he is not awake to answer so it keeps ringing. To wake him up, I actually have to wake up and yell at him or something.

Now, I am not angry at him for this, he is a good roommate in other ways. My ability to go to sleep anytime has really helped overcome that issue but those naps cut directly into my blogging time.

So you see, I can blame it on sleep.

The Wire Review

There are many reasons that I haven't blogged a lot recently. I could come up with a short list of these excuses, but right now, I will be blaming it on the TV show The Wire.

If you didn't know, this show actually ended a few years ago. I never saw it when it aired since it was on HBO but I heard that it was a good show, sometimes even referred to as one of the best shows ever. After spending around 60 hours of this summer watching this show, I don't know if I would agree with those who say it was an amazing show. While it was good and may be on the top of the heap of crime shows, I had my issues with it. These issues are my own and I should fault the show for that, since this opinion is also my own, I can just make up the rules for how to do this as I go along. I felt every season dragged along with all/most of the action happening in the last episode or two. On the other side, I think it was well acted and amazingly cast. I could empathize with the characters and when a show can make yo feel something, you can never write it off.

Well, that is it for tonight. I may just spend the next few posts blaming my lack of blogging on other things. Stay tuned for me to (maybe) blame these things for my lack of blogging: My Roommates, Sleep, Work, Rock Band, San Francisco, and many more!

Or not. Who knows what I'm going to do? Certainly not me!

Following Me via Brad

While I have been very lazy about regularly updating this blog, my friend/roommate, Brad, has been busy writing for his blog. You should check it out. Some of them have info about me, including a video of a fail of mine that almost resulted in my death. And I will leave you with that


Oh, and the link: Brad's Blog
