Getting ready… Already sick of it all.

So I am finishing up packing… Heading to Vegas momentarily, but I need to vent real quick, you know, assuming I’m not being censored or anything…

Really, as excited as I am to be going to Vegas over this next week and shooting Miss America, and as much fun as I know I am going to have (well, pretty sure at least), I’m just about ready for it to be over already… I mean really, just how excited can one be to spend the week with chaps that wholly feel that:

“So stay tuned, if you know whats good for you. In the same fashion as last year, I will be posting nearly every step of the way, so expect something up at around 6pm tomorrow evening…”

(offending material)

needs be censored? Thats not my kind of crowd… Sorry…

I know, I know. Its a stupid little thing, but I assure you, its just the beginning. There’s going to be a whole SLEW of nitpicky things that one unnamed soul with stop at no ends to point out and command be rectified.

I honestly believe that, in todays society, all of this uptightedness is just one big misunderstanding. I can’t imagine that people honestly are as anal retentive as they think everybody else thinks they ought to be and are because of it. I mean, how can a person function like that?

Whatever, I’m going, and I am going to have a great time of it, and thats that. I’ll be blogging about it both here, and at the Miss Maine website. Also, photos will be up at some point, but I shall not disclose their location… yet. Check back later for such juicy details.

Peace!

Birthdays, Housing, ‘n More!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! HAPPY BIR-…

You get the point… Jen’s Birthday was this weekend… Lucky…

I’m not going to lie, it was pretty fun. Friday she went out with the girlies for her “Girls Night Out,” whatever that means. Evidently they Stitched and Bitched the night away. Which as I take it was relatively fun, so thats good for her. The guys and I went to check out the house and watched movies, but more on that later.

We celebrated Jen’s Birthday through Saturday night into Sunday afternoon. Saturday evening Jen’s cousin came over, and a sizable bunch of us wasted the night away playing Guitar Hero and Mario Party in a friend’s room. The next day Jen’s Mom and Dad came up from Waterboro, and we went out to lunch at Ichban’s (or something like that). Jen and I filled our cravings for Sushi, and then some. :-D

I met Jen’s Mom a few weeks ago, but this was the first time I have ever met her father. He is a pretty nice guy. Jen’s Grandmother made her two skirts, and Jen’s mom bought her a few shirts and on sick pair of boots (thigh-high, stiletto, black). They also brought up all sorts of snack foods and goodies with them too.

I had heard a while back that Jen was really looking forward to the new DDR: Super Nova, so I got it for her (she’s a BIG DDR fan), as well as a loofah (a duck loofah), so she had one over here in Bell when long nights left her other one oh-so far away… They were both a hit. :-D All in all I’d say it was a pretty good day…

In other news, the boys and I checked out “The House” this past Friday, and I’m not going to lie… It needs work. Not the, “Oh, lets paint the living room,” kind either. More like the, “We should call a wrecker,” kind… Everything is in workable shape. Just about every room needs a coat of paint, and a few doors need to be patched. Besides that, everything else is great… Except the kitchen…

The kitchen is bad-ass, its got an island in the middle, hanging ceiling fan, a telephone bar, fridge, stove, washing machine, the works, and its huge. However, its not done. It needs a new ceiling, a new floor, and the windows need to be finished (plus a little woodwork here and there), but I/we just couldn’t let that get to us… the rest of it is just too good a deal. It’s a three bedroom apartment, with a full bath, living room, sitting room, full kitchen and breakfast room (sun room). Plus a porch and a 6-8 car driveway (3-4 of those spots will be ours). It’s a mile off I-95 (about 10-15 miles north of school). It’s just nuts!
The landlord is Caleb’s brother, so no secrets there (he is a nice guy, not a dick), and the tenants upstairs are sorority girls (so they are pretty chill, and again, not dicks). Rent is $800 a month, which comes to about $267 per person a month, and if we agree to do work on the apartment (pretty much a given) he will drop it to $600 a month (all of this only because it is family).

So we signed up. There wasn’t really any other choice… I am sure you understand…

Finaly, I have my interview for Image Works tomorrow. Can’t wait. It’s at 13:00. I’ve been getting my paperwork together all afternoon. I’ve got a few more things to get from my mom, but I’m really excited… :-P

Ok, Jen’s back, and its time for our HTML study session… God I love this girl.

PEACE!

PS: She’s sweaty… She took a moment to remind me of this fact with her FOREHEAD! Gah…

Mid-Term and Next Semester.

Published by -MiKe- on November 2, 2006 in College. 0 Comments

So, half a semester down at the good old N.E.S. of C.O.M. Lets see what the score is, shall we?

Course Name Mid-Term Exam Mid-Term Grade
Interpersonal Communications B A-
Introduction to Theater n/a B+
General Psychology A+ C
Digital Photography n/a C
English Composition B B+

All in all I am pleased with my grades at the mid term. General Psychology is low due to the fact that there has only been one assignment in that class, and the paper was late… Digital Photography on the other hand, there is no excuse. I practically own that class, I just missed an assignment.

As for next semester, I wrote my schedule on Tuesday. Here it is:

Course Name Days Times
Video Production I Mondays 9:00-11:00am
Digital Imaging for the Web Mondays 5:30-8:30pm
Approaches to Literature Mondays and Wednesdays 11:00-12:15pm
Digital Photography II Tuesdays 9:00-12:00pm
Video Production I [Lab] Tuesdays 1:00-4:00pm
Intro to Media Thursdays 6:00-9:00pm
Adbsolutely Nothing Fridays All Day

There you have it. Looks like its going to be a pretty sweet semester. Next we are all looking for a house. Doing the math, a student at NESCOM would be making pure profit if they were paying $530 or less per month on housing. That leaves our options WIDE open… So we’ll see where that takes us.

Also, I found a place to Intern/Work next semester (I hope). Image Works. I’ll tell you more about them later. Basically, my room mates brother works there, and with any luck, my room mate and I will too.
