School, Socialization, Skyrim.

This week has been quite busy. I finally caught up in every one of my classes despite gaining a social status in the state. I had a total of two English essays, one EAM essay, three math assignments, and three French assignments with a fourth due next week. I managed to knock everything out within a couple of days with the help of this amazing study group I've been getting together with. I'm pretty sure I slipped up witht he English essays, but my professor isn't even worried about anything but the final. A whopping five-page persuasive that determines if we've passed his class or not.

Okay, I'm exaggerating, but he's pretty serious about it.

On another good note: SOCIAL LIFE. Finally, I've been getting out of the house and going places to meet real people instead of joining them on TeamSpeak. As much as I claim to love the solitude, I think my attitude was due to the fact that I had no social life, therefore creating a virtual one. Vicious cycle.

So far I'm liking the college experience and I'm trying to shed some of that influence to my friends. Some have the ambition, but lack the motivation. The others are too busy with other things like their careers and their families. Half of my friends have kids already. I think I started a trend. I'm pretty sure New Jersey is poison, at least it was for me. You can't see it until you get out of the state, which you have to pay to do by the way.

In other news, my buddy Mark has started a blog about the amazing game of Skyrim. It's called "Stories from Skyrim" and it features his character and dragon slaying horse named Golden-Hooves the Dragon Slayer. Pretty unique name, eh? His page can be found in the link below, so if you're into Skyrim, check out his stories.

Work, Work, Work!

I'm getting a bunch of emails for the books I bought on Amazon for school. One of them is already here, and I have three emails telling me shipping details. I hope these people come through. I really need these books. I can't really afford to get them at the school. With that being said, today's agenda consists of work, work, and more work. And also looking for work. I completely forgot my schedule for this week, so that's first. I'm also going to follow up on the job across the street from my work at the gas station. Everyone is telling me that the hardest part is finding something to do when it gets slow, so I think I'll be okay there. I need the extra hours too. Lastly, I need to finish some stuff for my own business.

Oh! Quick note! Since I live in a guest house, I didn't want to take up any parking spaces in front of the garages or the main house, and I noticed that there was a gate over by the pond leading around the property and behind the guest house, then over to the hay field. I followed it around with my car and found an awesome spot to park What's even better is that theres a gate behind our place right next to where I parked. I officially have my own spot, and the trees will keep my car cool :D

So yeah, working today. Need to wake up first, though. I feel like a zombie. Here's a picture of me right now:
