10 Days Baby...

Wow, it’s been a while. I’ve been incredibly busy since summer started, mainly with working. I have to save up as much money as I can for college next year during this summer which means work work work. It sucks, it eats up my day, it makes me tired, but so is life, I guess.

Lets see, what have I done since my last post… Wow, I just looked and it was on May 27th. Jason and April are now officially in Greeley, Colorado, where Jason is working on his teaching credential at the University of Northern Colorado. Just the other day, I was talking to him on Skype, and he showed me around his apartment in Greeley, and it’s freaking HUGE! They’re paying like half of what they paid in Brea, CA, and they have like five times as much space in their apartment. I am truly jealous of the place they are living in, even if their dog is already chewing the doors up. :P

Look at the life ahead of us.

Funny story, when they first got there, they unpacked everything from the uHaul trailer and then they decided to go get some dinner, and they were excited because they could finally put Brea (the dog) in a room and close the door, so they wouldn’t have to worry about her chewing things up in the new place. Well, they were gone for about 45 minutes, only 45 minutes, and the dog proceeded to… gnaw the paint off of the bathroom door! Hahaha… Keep in mind, the apartment had been freshly painted a few days before, so the paint didn’t just come off, it came off in huge flakes, all over the floor, all over the dog, all over EVERYTHING. Well, needless to say, the mess is clean now, but the damage is still there, hah. The bathroom door is brown from the ground to about a foot and a half up, and it will probably stay like that until they have to paint it again when they move out.

In other news, I am now officially blogging on a 2.66 Ghz 15 inch MacBook Pro! :) Ah, 4 Gb of RAM and a dedicated graphics card feels nice underneath my fingertips… Gaming on this beast is amazing!  I went to a LAN party for my friend Matt’s birthday party, and it was really nice to be able to play everything on high settings.  Even though we were playing games like Starcraft, hah, which is officially like 11 years old now, but hey, it’s still pretty fun.

I love my new MacBook Pro, phew.  It’s great.  I blog, I code, I design, I run windows, I skype, I use Logic Studio for audio editing, and the list goes on.  I’m really glad I was fortunate enough to get it as a graduation gift, (even if I did have to pay for more than half of it, haha).  I know it’s gonna last me a long time before I feel the need to invest in a new computer. :)

Qantas Airbus A380

Other News!! Well, you may be wondering why I entitled this post “10 Days.”  Well, it’s because ten days from now, on July 22, 2009, I will be aboard a plane.  Not just any plane, mind you, but an Airbus A380, headed for… duh duh duhhhh…. P. Sherman, 42 Wallaby Way, SYDNEY!!

Yes!! I am going to Australia!! Oh my gosh, it is going to be a journey of EPIC proportions! :)  I promise I will take billions of pictures, and I may even post some of them online!  (well, to Facebook for sure)

I can’t wait! AHH!!  Although, I don’t know if I’m ready for the 16 hour flights there and back, hahaha.  I plan to sleep like I’ve never slept before, hah.  Even though during the Summer so far, I’ve been sleeping like 12 hours every night… hah.

Well, that pretty much raps it up for now.

Other short bits of info: I got a haircut yesterday, I sold my free iPod from Apple on Ebay for $177.50, Naomi’s best friend Shelby has been here for about two weeks and is leaving on Tuesday, I was saddened to learn that Chipotle is no longer giving out free student drinks, I’ve been working heavily with Django and Python for web development, and I’m starting to get pretty proficient at it, thanks to help from my buddy Colton Provias.

Until next time,
