Slighty cloudy with a chance of Wii.

January 6, 2007

Why is it so freakishly nice out today!!!???

Temperatures in the 60’s, partly sunny, wtf mates?

Well, I’m not complaining, instead I’m going outside to enjoy this weather. Go for a walk down by the shore, or something of the like. Should be fun. All this nice weather has me thinking of springtime, even though its January!

There is only a week before I go back to PSU for my fourth semester at college. Last semester was hell. But, through it all, I managed a 3.45 GPA (by the grace of god it appears).

But, I don’t want to waste much more of this fine day on the computer. Things are turning around, I am sure of it. I have a job, and we’ll see if I can’t keep up my successes on my return back to PSU. Hell, I even have incentive from my parents. Because of my good academic standing, they promised to get me a Nintendo Wii!!!!

Every cloud has it’s silver lining.

Selling Your Soul for Cash

January 2, 2007

Ok, the vacation is over. Time to put on some pants that aren’t made of flannel, shave off the last week, comb the hair, and grin and bear it.

Time to enter the work force.

Even if it’s only for two weeks and just to earn a little spending cash for college. A new semester brings new expenses!

The first day at work at an actual office was interesting. Yes the surroundings are…boring…to put it bluntly. And yes, I did stare at a computer screen all day. Still, the people there are friendly, the work isn’t particularly difficult, and I am getting paid. And in the end, all I wanted to do was earn some cash to hold me over this semester.

After 7 hours of work that made my eyes cross from boredom and intense concentration on a computer screen, I find myself in front of another computer, this time my own. Reflecting upon my day. Penn State won the Outback bowl yesterday, and I couldn’t be happier. While I wouldn’t say we crushed the Volunteers (I didn’t know their mascot was a dog….?), Tony Davis’ 88 yard touchdown return off a fumble had me jumping out of my seat!

Plus, it was a good look at things to come. Our team looked stronger than ever, more physical than ever (heh, I bet Tony Hunt’s comments postgame pissed off some Vol’s fans). Still, I am excited for next year’s football season. As I get more into this whole blogging thing, pictures and video content will become available.

Infact, I’ll try one out now. Here’s (potentially) a clip from the PSU v. Michigan game this year. We lost yea….but, We Are…Penn State. (did Marshall start that, or was that us…?)
