Huumm
I want to say that I had a busy week but the week didn't end that way. Monday was a long day, like every Monday I had to clean up after the weekend workers. Why can't people clean up after they are done working? Then I had night class, this was the finial week but we had to sit through a two hour lecture. Then the finial, let me tell you taking a computer programing test is hard. You have four answers that are just slightly different and only one of them is right. Later I found out that I got 70% on that test and still got a B+ in the class. Four hours sleep and then my Tuesday started. Tuesdays are always long for me because ads change that day and I either have to take down a display or put one up, or both. This Tuesday was extra special because I was scheduled an extra store, then I got a call to go to another store. On top of all that my sales rep decided he wanted one less delivery this week so the delivery on Tuesday was bigger then normal. Hurray for twelve hour days. If it wasn't for the extra product at the stores I would have had a normal Wednesday. Oh, then I had to study for my other finial exam that was on Thursday. Studying tired is hard. My Thursday went by fast, there was a point when I sat around for 45 minutes waiting for someone to get my product out of the racking. If not for that I would have worked for only four hours that day. The test for my other class was pretty easy, the teacher shortened it down from 75 question to only 50. There was also a practical exam were we had to install Linux and get the website part of it running. I got the test back right away and I can't remember for sure but I think I got only seven wrong. So I am pretty sure that I will get a good grade in that class too. Saturday turned out to be just a bum around the house day. I just couldn't get motive to do anything productive (see below). Ended up reading web comics and listening to music most of the day. Then went to see "I Love You, Man" with my cousin. The movie was good and kind of funny, it did get me thinking about other stuff which I may (or may not) write about. (yes I know I skipped Friday, nothing really happened that day besides work.) Today nothing is really planned, got some bills paid and doing laundry. Still working on copying some files, damn computer keeps freezing. Nothing much else to talk about. Borrowed Dead Space for the Xbox from a friend. So far it is pretty fun, spent most of the beginning of the game walking backwards because it's the first game I have played with my surround sound. This game is all about suspense so I was constantly hearing bad things behind me. I hope to finish the game before the new quarter starts.

Time Flies
I knew this week would go by fast but not this fast. Had to write a comparison paper for a class on top of the regular homework for that class. Also had regular homework in my other class in a chapter that went completely over my head. I have no idea how I did the homework or if I did it right. I had a three hour meeting on Wednesday to get a forklift license. Then night class on Thursday for two very long days in a row. Then I, for some reason, worked on Saturday. I have tests next week which means study, study, study. Then a much needed break of doing more work. Yeah, that's right but I went into that last week. This isn't like any other post I have done, I think my brain is broken, and my body is to tired to fix it. Well, Simpsons are on so I have to toddle now.

Work, work and more work
Volunteered to work this Saturday, I guess I could always use more money. Also have to drive to Owatonna Wednesday to do forklift training. Some new policy I guess, oh well more money for me.

School and stuff
Awesome, so I have been using this laptop extensively lately and this afternoon it was running slower then usual so I decided to shut it down and just finish my research on my main computer. Then just a minute ago I started it back up to write this post and the main profile didn't load right. I didn't have access to any of the files I had saved but they showed up when I did a search for them. Thank God a simple reboot fixed everything.
O.k. now on with the blog. I had my review this week for my job which turned into perfect timing because my boss's boss went to one of my stores and yelled at my boss because a display (that I was going to rotate next week) wasn't rotated. But my boss and I looked over the display and decided that his boss over reacted. My boss mentioned that I was going to get a raise for my review about a month ago but he didn't mention it in the review and I forgot to ask. I guess I will have to wait and look at my next paycheck.
My school semester is also most over which is good, not because I dislike my classes but because I have so much stuff on the back burner right now. Stuff that needs to get done sometime but isn't that important. Cleaning and organizing my house is a good example of this. Also, counting this laptop, I have files on four different computers. I plan to organize these files and set up some kind of file server so I have access to all my files on any of my computers. Lot more work then you may think. I have to sit down and figure out my finances are. The first two months of this year I have pretty much broken even with income and expenses. Will have to figure out how to lessen my expenses *no not my cable*. I am also working on something as a surprise for everyone. Only two weeks to get that and more done before school starts again.
The semester coming to a means two things. 1. finials to study for and 2. finial projects are due. My plan was to have my finial project done by this weekend but I just don't fell like typing it up right now, I'll do it tomorrow maybe. Next semester I picked up a class which brings me to three classes. Don't know if I will be able to keep up but I will be in school forever if I just stay with two classes a quarter. For those interested, at the end of this semester I will have 13 classes left to take. At three classes a quarter that means I have a year left of school *then what?*.
On a side note I saw an old co-worker from when I worked a Cub on Saturday. He had quit about two years before me and I guess he lives in the same area as me. He followed me from god knows where to me mail box. We hadn't seen each other for almost..... four years maybe *hard to remember, long time ago*. Gave him my number, maybe he will call.
On a sad note my mother dog had to be put down this last week. It's sad but we will see you in heaven (all dogs go to heaven right?) with our other dog Rufus. *Weird, the day before my mom called and told me about her dog I had been thinking of Rufus*
I want to send some good luck to my sister who is leaving for Texas soon (don't think she has left yet?). Flying is the best way to travel and you will be there and back before you know it.
See ya next week all.
