Slowly Learning...

So the semester is over for me, and at first I had no idea what to do with myself. I mean I had been working about 30 hours a week while attending classes and doing homework, and now...nothing. Well I still have work. And in fact I managed to log 38 hours last week and about another 44 hours this week (yay overtime!). In a weird twist of things I also managed to go out about 4 times this week and wasn't even that tired! So I now know that I can successfully work full-time and have a social life. And in perhaps the most ironic twist, I'm sure that next week (when I only have 27 hours), I'll probably end up just sitting around doing nothing. But here's hoping that it doesn't turn out like that.

As a brief update of what has happened lately for everyone interested:

- I finished my second grad semester at Brockport (Still maintaining a 4.0 in my Math courses, no big surprise there). And now I only have 2 more to go (assuming everything goes as planned). After that, it's off to more grad school to get my PhD. However I'm not exactly sure where that will be just yet.

- The majority of my friends that I have made back in Rochester are start to move off (once again). Some graduating, some going on/back to school, some moving away for career opportunities. It's sad to see them leave, but that is life, and I will be leaving relatively soon as well.

- I have still yet to find a coffee shop that truely suits me. Although, going to the two that I frequent the most often to watch/laugh at people is still fun.

- Still single.

- Finally made friends at work to hang out with outside of work. Went to a bar with two of them Tuesday night, and then to a different pub with another one Wed night (I know, two bars in two nights for me? Crazy). And I also have non-definite plans to go golfing with one of them this week. If/when that happens it should be quite a sight since I haven't been out on a course in years.

- Still trying to figure out a way to have a place of my own.

- Still having no luck with that yet.

- Have an end of summer trip planned to Minnesota. I'm going out to the lake house out there for about a week, to spend some time with my Mom's family, before heading back into Minneapolis for the Cross/Kishel wedding at the end of August.

- Also trying to plan trips down to both NYC and Boston. I just need to find some free time off from work and such. When I get something more concrete in the works for either place I will let you all know (because I need to find a way to visit the handful of people I need to see in both places).

- I've gone from Deli to Prepared Foods to Subs and back to Prepared Foods at work (still Wegmans), and I am finally happy with my job. Well relatively happy. I actually enjoy going into work for the most part, but won't be happy if I'm still there in 5 years. Hell I'm hoping to get out of there in about another year. I guess it does help that I really enjoy the people I'm now working with (especially the cute girls) and I enjoy being left alone for the most part to do my work and sing and dance around like an idiot while doing it (trust me, that does actually happen, I'm not just using a common expression). Some of it might also have to do with the fact that I have my life headed in the right direction and feel relatively stable (apart from the living at home(s) and not knowing where I'll get my phd).

- I have gotten back into the swing of seeing movies. As you may or may not have noticed from my other posts from the day, I've found the time to actually get out and see films! In fact there are a couple others that I've seen lately that I haven't written about yet (mostly old stuff though, such as the 1960's French film I saw, or Super Mario Brothers/Karate Kid, both of which I rented recently).

I know that there are many other things that I wanted to share, but they're mostly on my computer, which is all but dead at this point (the batteries on my laptop hold a charge for aproximately 4 mins before draining completely, thus turning my laptop into a portable desktop), so that will all have to wait.
