Hello my virtual companions! I write to you from Daniel's teeny tiny laptop. TINY. My laptop apparently found out that the warranty expired last month, so it pooped out on me. Fried hard drive. awesome. I do apologize for missing out on the month oof May, but I was quite busy with finals, settling into a new apartment, and getting fired from my job. :) All is well now, though. I ended up with 4 A's and 3 B's (should have been straight A's, but I slacked off a little), my new apartment with Daniel is great (yes, the latest scandal is that I am living with Daniel, but let's talk about that some other time that doesn't involve a public blogger), and surprise of all surprises, yes, I was fired. No idea why. Certainly didn't deserve it. They fired the other girl today. Interesting. Anyway, I am much happier now, as that place had become a festering hell hole over the past six months under the new management. Good ridence. I have found three new career opportunities, all of which may pay better and will allow me to be much more flexible with my schedule. So look out, I may be coming to a town near you for a Christmas visit this year! Ah! Consider yourselves warned. :)
For the next two weeks, I will be hiding my nose in a book (or laptop, rather - but since they are conveniently called "notebooks" these days, who the heck cares?) studying for my state insurance liscence exam next weekend. Yep. I'm going into daddy's business! Wohoo! And mom's, oddly enough. I will be booking Golden Bough's local gigs for a while. So wow. The two industries I swore I would never be involved in. Boy am I eating my words. I'm taking over the family businesses so that I can go into a field entirely unexplored by anyone in the current family. DANCE! Wohooooo!
What follows is a collection of pictures I took on a random thursday. I was going to play "I Spy" with you all, but instead I'm just going to leave it all blank and let you see what an average Thursday looked like to me this past semester, because let's face it; that's more fun. These are in no particular order. and yes, I am very aware thatI'm wierd and that my days at college appeare to the naked, untrained eye to be more like childhood days on a playground. I guess they kind of are. haha. I'm off to a date night with Daniel. Comedy hour at the Thai Palms. My friend is performing. See you next post!!!!

I realize that I have been dead to the blogger world for some time. Don't feel bad. I have been dead to most of the world for some time. Life does that sometimes. But have no fear. I am back. Much has evolved in all departments of life. Since I do not have time or energy to explain much of it in text, I attempted another video post, obviously unsuccessfully. But fear not, sweet readers. Chin up. I have spruced up the page a bit as a sign of my intentions and am currently working on a picture post that will keep any curious visitors occupied with new material (though I cannot guarantee that it will be any less boring than nothing at all...) for a good chunk of time. That being said, I suppose I should at least announce my current intentions to move to Oregon in December/January. U of O is my top choice. My only choice, actually. I think I'm going to just go for it. Amazing program, great area to settle, similar economy to my current setting, distant enough to be the fresh atmosphere and adventure that I am craving, close enough that I will be able to hitch hike back to Modesto with my tail between my legs should I fail miserably, weather that I have always preferred, and what sounds like a social climate that I will fit quite nicely into.
Of course, this is all contingent upon my graduating in December. And since CSU Fresno has cut one class that I need to graduate from the fall schedule, things aren't looking good. I'm trying to fight it and argue my way into an independent study. Dance History. One wretched class. I was so close.
In the mean time, I am twidling my social thumbs, anxious to get out of here. School and work keep me plenty busy, as usual. 6 weeks left of this semester. Still haven't seen Kelli's new baby yet. Sorry, Jason. Can't wait to see you!!! My body knew exactly when I would have a break and it took the opportunity to obtain and maaaaaiiiiinnnnntaaaaaiiiiiinnnnn strep throat. Thank you immune system. Stupid body. It's so stinkin' smart, it kills me. Anyway, summer's a'coming. I'll be seeing you all in the coming months, I hope.
"I Spy" game coming up next. Namaste.
P.S. Please note the time stamp for this blog and raise your hands to the sky. You KNOW there is a god when Laura is up at this hour. Can I get an "Amen"?
