the working world.
You know, school was bad. I hated it. I dreaded going there.
Now I work. There are some serious perks of working - I get to learn from the people around me, I get to experience totally new things (like MS Access on a whole new level, and Excel spreadsheets with 30,000 rows), plus I get a paycheck every two weeks, my first of which comes at me tomorrow (I hope).
There is also this whole starting at eight in the morning thing. Don't get me wrong, I love work, but as an 18 year-old, I would appreciate a little more sleep after staying up until the wee hours of the morning. Then I work until 5. That means that there is no lake aside from weekends. No swimming. No Nothing during the day except for an hour for lunch. I might catch a game of Ultimate after work, but then the daylight hours are gone.
But I love work :) I get to sit in front of a computer all day waiting for databases to load like I am doing now (and it is STILL loading.)
Anyway, still waiting on that laptop. Still waiting to re-design this beast of a page. Still waiting for my parents to move... When I have time...

life goes on
I greaduated. I am putting high school behind me. Not that it wasn't fun, or I didn't enjoy it or anything, but I am leaving. I have grown up. I am an adult now.
That said, I think I am going to have to change the name of the blog. (it is currently "high school sucks") Any suggestions are welcome :)
Anywho, I have a job now. It is at Shasta.com, an internet company that has ISP services , designs websites, does tech support and the like. I work... all the time. 8-5 monday through friday. It is like a "real" job. I have a cubicle. I have a boss that wants covers on his TPS reports. There is actually gossip at the water cooler.
A real job. What a laugh.
Hey, at least I will be rollin' in the dough pretty soon :)
So since I will be online more and I am hoping to get a laptop prety soon, I will be updating the site's design, function, etc... pretty soon.
Like I said, life goes on...
