Quick posting

Still in transience.

Just a quick post to everybody: I'm still around, I just can't seem to muster up the strength to do anything more at the end of the day than watch a movie.

I have been getting one day a week off, but that has only been a week or two ago. Before, it was seven days a week of working. Let me tell you, having one day of rest makes a tremendous difference. A man can snap if he doesn't get a break.

As for an update, things are going to plan. I'll be through working my butt off every day in 28 weeks. I was accepted into SDSU (no surprise, since UCSD is even harder to get into), and now, all's I got to do is get the money together for the rest of school-time. That will take about 4 months.


So, in May, I'll be all set. Right now, I'm depositing everything I make at JIB (which is paying me very close to $20 an hour) into college savings, although I splurged on the first few paychecks to fix up the car that I paid $1 for, and to buy very nice parts to assemble a computer... I'm glad I splurge on computers, and not cars, because, after the splurging, I see how bad of a waste of money splurging can be. Thus, I get pissed off and stop, if only for two years or so...


Anyway, I'm thinking of quitting the hospital job, and devoting my 3 free days (I work 10 hour shifts at JIB) towards getting myself prepped for school -- I'm thinking that writing scholarship essays will be a bigger payout in the long run than working at the hospital! (plus I'll be more sane).

It's weird. All I think about is work these days. That's all I do. I can't wait to work tomorrow, since I'll be making time-and-a-half.

I'm sure things will change when the 28 weeks are up; for now, it's time to focus on making the cash, even if that means I'm a boring, overworked creature -- I may lose this opportunity in the future.




Before I go, I want to leave a parting thought to my future self of my experience when I visited SDSU. I felt that it was a lot like HSU in many ways, but improved a bajillion-fold. The people there are of many various ethnicities (compared to UCSD, which is just caucasian look-alikes and Asians), and they talk to each other! Me and Alisha really noticed that.

What's more, there's a lot going on there. I feel very comfortable with the place. The degree is right, the place feels like home (I think living in the little shack humboldtized me or something), there's nice little things everywhere, the people are focused on having fun at school, classes are smaller in general (from what I saw)...


I can't wait. Just gotta keep saving up, and then I'll be free.
