Pause

Sometimes I wish I could pause things for a few hours at a time.....maybe just to fit a nice nap in or something. I have been extremely busy lately with too many things to name. I'm trying to learn my job at UPS to the best of my ability and keep up with schoolwork and so far I'm doing fine but my body hurts all over and I went to bed at 7am this morning only to wake up again at 8:30 am for class......not the lifestyle I would choose. I have another class at 2 so I can't talk very long but I thought I'd try and get a post in while I have a chance. I received a 24/25 on my first quiz of the year in one of my sales classes.......I had to leave some room for improvement, thus the 24. In my class at 2 we're have a guest speaker and the prof is making us wear professional dress so I have to go home and throw my suit on for one class only to go straight home and take it off. Well before I give you anymore scattered thoughts that don't really mean anything I think I'll just end the post right here. Have a nice day everyone and hopefully I can post when I'm not pressed for time. BYE

Thank You

I would like to thank everyone that helped make my 21st Birthday a special one. With as much stuff that's been going on with starting school and a new job I somehow was able to spend time with some family and friends and have a nice dinner and open presents AND watch the Tiger's game all at the same time.

I would also like to thank my friends who called me and wished me a happy 21st. I unlike many of my close friends did not end up puking on my 21st birthday. Sorry guys, the puking had to stop somewhere.

Yesterday was my 2nd day of training at UPS and we ended up watching some videos on proper lifting methods and what not. Tonight we have to take a safety test in which we have to pass with 100% or we have to keep retaking it. I really hope this job works out and that it won't be too much to handle.....leaving the house at 9:30 every night to go to work isn't much fun knowing you have school work left to do. That's life though and I'm sure I'll develop a nice schedule once I get into things a little more.

Well I'm off to study for my test tonight, thanks again to everyone who made my 21st a memorable one. Bye Bye !

Moving Day

Today I move back to Toledo for the final time. It shall prove to be an eventful year living in a house with 5 other guys.....all of whom I went to highschool with. I dread going back to class and sitting there just listening to things that don't interest me but that's school for ya. I also dislike the fact that textbooks cost so darn much. You can always count on those books to suck a few hundred dollars from your savings.

This semester I will have to learn to manage my time better than previous years. I just got hired at UPS and will be working midnights while also taking 17 credit hours of class. So we'll see if I can handle all that.

Well that's all for now. Bye !

Tigers/Red Sox

Tonight I'm going to see the Tigers play the Red Sox. I'm quite excited to see the reigning world champs in Comerica Park. They had such an amazing season last year. Hopefully Detroit will be able to put together some decent years sometime soon. If they could somehow manage to make the playoffs one year that would be great. It seems the Tigers are in a perpetual rebuilding year but I give Alan Trammell and Kirk Gibson some credit, the Tigers are trying very hard to stay close to .500. Anyways....I better get going. Have a nice day !

Georgia Pictures !

As promised here are some pictures from the recent trip south. http://andy82384.shutterfly.com


As for me, I haven't been doing anything that exciting lately. School starts in 10 days and I turn 21 in 11 days. That's depressing and fun all in 2 days. On a positive note I found an excellent Garth Brooks CD at a garage sale for a dollar.
I applied at UPS yesterday to hopefully get a job while also going to school. I have an appointment to meet with them next tuesday in Maumee, Ohio. The hours aren't the best but you can't expect much when you have classes that start at 9:30 am and don't get done until 7:15 pm. Anyways, we'll see how that all turns out at a later date. I think that's it for now. Happy Friday everyone.

Rollin' Home

Hello all, I post to y'all from somewhere just north of Cinncinati. We're staying at a pretty cool hotel that offers free internet, thus the post. I had an excellent time down in Georgia and the trip shall conclude sometime tomorrow. While on my trip I learned how to catch a bunch of catfish from off the dock at the house. I'd say I caught about 25 of those with a bluegill or two as well. I tried getting some sun and I succeeded somewhat but I didn't get burnt, always a plus. Anyways I'll post pictures from the trip at a later date.

Switching gears now: Today is my Mother's birthday.......HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM !

We just went out to dinner to Max and Erma's and had a nice meal. They ran out of one kind of wine so mom and dad got a better bottle for the same price as the lower one......a nice birthday special. Mom also received a free dessert, she chose banana creme pie and I had a small bite and it was quite tasty.

I think that does it for now. I'll catch y'all later.

P.S. I would like to note that I went on a 2 hour jet ski ride while on vacation and at no point whatsoever was I lost, turned around, confused, and/or anything else you can think of in those terms. I was just out enjoying myself while my parents were going for a boat ride. The fact that their boat ride lasted 30 minutes to my 2 hours was not my fault. So no worries. Ok I'm done, I promise.
