Skull

I move into school tomorrow. I'm not ready. Oh well.

Today I ate an octowhopper. Well about 2/3 of one, I shared with a friend. And then I had a 20 chicken nuggets. It was lovely. I'd show you guys the video, if I knew how to get it off facebook.

I'll look at some specifics here. I currently have $840 in my checking account (although payday is tomorrow, so it will probably be about $1000) and I have $10,074 in my savings account and $74 in my wallet. My money comes mostly from my job, which is minimum wage ($8.25 an hour here before taxes, etc) and I get 20-30 hours a week. To date I have made $3384, working for 21 weeks or an average of $161 a week. About $60 of that a week goes directly to paying for gas. The money in my savings account comes from all the money I don't spend from my paycheck, gifts over the years from family members, and all the money that got invested for me to go to college. I already paid for my first semester of college with this money, $8,200. I think that covers current money situations aside from my parents, which I'll sum up by saying that my dad makes a lot. My mom does not. (They're divorced.) ---- Anyways, future is a lot less technical than current, mostly due to me having no [bleep]ing idea about it. I'm going to college at what I think is a very good school (whatever, I'll just say what it is: UCONN) and I'm majoring in environmental science. There's a lot of stuff I can do with it, I think, but I don't have high hopes of making a lot of money with it, probably a job with a starting salary of $35k a year probably maxing out at around $70k. I could get a job with the DEP, although I checked my state's DEP website and there are no current vacancies. But yeah, I don't see my current direction taking me anywhere that will make me rich. ---- Lastly, money is important to me. It's not the most important thing to me but I'll be honest, it's up there. However, I don't care about getting lots and lots of money, just having enough to live fairly comfortably off of. But it certainly will be a deciding factor in what I end up doing. If I find a job I love but it only pays $30k and I find another job I can barely tolerate but it pays 60k, I'll certainly take the better paying one. But if it was $100k a year for a job I love versus $500k for one I hated, I would go for the lower paying of the two. ---- Longest post I have ever made. Good morning afternoon TIF. Time to go buy books for school.

Lets not bring that one up again. There's only so many times I can hear about people not taking showers for three days and seeing nothing wrong with it before I puke.

You just don't appreciate the arts. Also winning money for writing meaningless [cabbage] is awesome.

I want to enter a poetry contest!

It's almost 4:30. I've been looking at shoes for like 2 hours now. Can't decide if I should drop the $100+ or if I should go for cheaper ones. I only have three more paychecks before I go to school..

So I found out what my room assignment for school is. I have 3 roommates. And I'm in a room made for 2 people. Yep. An already small college dorm room, except with twice as many people as its supposed to have. It'll be interesting.

I'm a socks and shoes kinda guy. I didn't own sandals at all until last year. That meant I even went to the beach in socks and sneakers. Which is inconvenient as hell.

Wow, uh thanks guys, I didn't expect that kind of support. I'm not leaving yet, nor do I know that I'm going to be leaving for sure. In all honesty, I woke up today wanting to play Runescape, something that I haven't done in a year. I think that once I get used to college life I'll almost definitely be back. I'm going to have plenty of time where I don't have classes, I'm even done for the day at 10am twice a week. As soon as I get the hang of doing homework and studying, I'll probably be right back here. Thanks again though, it really means a lot to me. I'm going to run around and get some stuff done before I have to go to work so my mom doesn't murder me and so I don't start playing Runescape :lol:

2am, time for sleep, I think. My girlfriend is coming home tomorrow, 3 days early. I'm excited. And she might come on "vacation" with me. Which means she's going back to where she just was the day before, just 10 miles away. :roll: I'd like it if she could come with me but she's ditching her family to go home early, so going back except with my family instead might not make them too happy. Plus I haven't actually asked if she can come yet, although when my grandparents met her they said she was welcome to any time. So we'll see how it goes, OT. But even if she doesn't, I'll see her tomorrow before and possibly after I go to work. I know I said I was going to sleep, but I feel like this post should get longer. I miss posting here, it's gotten me through some tough [cabbage] over the years. And yet, I think it may be almost that time where I stop posting here at all. It's not something I plan on doing of course, but it appears to be an inevitability. Since I started working and dating my girlfriend, I haven't really had time to sit around on the internet very much. And with the previously mentioned going away to college, I think it's probably only going to get worse (although I won't be working unless I get a job on campus). I'm getting all nostalgic here, since something is causing me to look back at my time on the forums here. And even my time playing that [cabbage] hole of a game that we know as Runescape. It's strange, coming to the realization that I'm putting those things into the past and moving on. It's been seven, almost eight years since I was introduced to the game, and I sure as hell never expected it to shape my life the way it did. I know everyone already stopped reading this or is currently wondering why they care. The answer is you don't. I'm simply tired and nervous about the future. I don't know if I have the self discipline to get my ass to classes without anyone telling me too. I've slacked in school for the past 6 years and I have no idea how to turn that around. It's going to have to happen though, that's for sure. I can't justify the money spent if I'm not willing to take it seriously and work my ass off. I hope I can do it, I really do. That's why I'm paying for the first year of school without any help from my parents (although I only earned about $2000 of it myself, the rest is from gifts and my parents investing). So basically I'm getting stressed out thinking about college and it's making me really want a cigarette. But alas, I have none. Oh well, this concludes my rambling for the night. Probably. The end.

So... I leave for college in 3 weeks. I have not done anything to prepare yet. Not one single thing. I haven't started getting stuff for my dorm, I haven't bought books, I don't know where I'm living, I don't know who my roommate is, etc. The one thing I have done is pay. $8200. A semester. Ouch. That's half of my college fund. I don't know how people can go to $50k a year schools.

My nickname is Goose. Yep.

^Very nice! My attempt to find a place to build my castle ended up with me digging through the nether for a half hour to so I could come out someplace far away. I ended up spawning a floating portal about 30 meters above a large ocean. Very interesting, but not what I was looking for. I'll probably build a sea base there, but for the time being, I'm going to pick a spot probably halfway between the two portals and down to about level 60.

Shame. So many people in the world with not a drop to drink... :wink:

My girlfriend has been away since Monday, so all I've been doing is playing Minecraft and going to work. Pretty boring. That's ok though.

Damn, at one point I had the most by like 60 posts. I didn't realize I had cut back on my posting that much. But I guess I probably used to post in this thread like 3 times a day while I now post like twice a week. Anyways, It's ~3:20 am. I don't want to sleep, I'm in a weird mood. I'm going to have another smoke then maybe try to sleep. I don't know.

Saw Grieves live the other day, he is absolutely brilliant, especially live. If you like Rhymesayers and haven't listened to him, I'd suggest giving his music a listen. It's a little different, but great.

Almost beat the [cabbage] out of my girlfriend's best friend. Luckily I managed to calm myself down. Hopefully I didn't do too much damage to our relationship. But I'm scary when I'm mad. I apologized to him and he apologized to me, but I'm not sure that's enough. Can't be unseen, etc etc.

All my buildings are large boxes.

Oh hey, I made this thread. Maybe I'll make an updated version of it, since it has been almost a year and my music taste has changed a good deal.

I was making a joke regarding my inactivity. However, I am going to go to sleep now seeing as it is almost 2 am.

I hate gum. THIS IS MY POST FOR THE WEEK, YOU ALL BETTER [bleep]ING ENJOY IT!
