Not that anyone really needs any more proof that I suck at this webbloging thing, but I had to track down an app that would allow me to reset my MT password, because I had no idea what it was (nor was I all that sure on the username).
I also can’t believe that school starts in three weeks. I move back to Valpo on the 19th. The summer just disappeared (as well as most of the money that I’ve made, stupid car). That same weekend is also Treffen, the CVO’s annual car show, and that Monday (the 22nd) is my mother’s birthday. Same thing happened last year (only my family was in Cali at the time, so I moved myself in in two trips).
This year will take even more trips, having an apartment and all. We’re subletting an apartment from the University, so it comes mostly furnished with generic furniture, a bed, dresser, desk, couch in the living room and table in the eating nook. That said we’re renting a garage, putting the school issued couch in it, and I’m bring down my own couch and love seat that are way comfortable, and my roommates are each bringing a recliner. One roommate is also bringing his giant entertainment center, and we’re making the other roommate buy a new receiver so that we can connect every video device known to man to the 32” tv.
Last year, my other two roommates lived in a similar apartment with a third random guy, and by the end of the year, we had every Nintendo game system hooked up to the tv. I’m going to see if I can track down the Bally Astrocade that I’m sure is floating around my attic somewhere, although at this point, I should have already searched for it, because I’m sure the attic is now 120F.
Also, to continue on a point I raised above, at this rate, I’m going to have less money at the end of the summer than I had at the beginning of the summer, and that’s baaaaad. I had this nice budget worked out at the end of last semester as to what I was spending on what, and took most everything into account (food, gas, summer school, insurance, spending money for the year, etc), which resulted in me having like $200 of unallocated spending money for the summer. Unfortunately, I’ve spent $300 on clothes (pants, shoes, shirts), a grand on wheels and tires, and close to another grand on suspension and alignment. So my budget is way hosed. I really need to look into doing some more consulting, and maybe selling some stuff on ebay. We’ll have to see.
Also, one of these days I really need to start using the blog for what I had originally envisioned using it for, and that’s writing down memories from my childhood before I start forgetting them. Things like teachers names, which are already escaping me now.
