Updating... From Home! On New Year's Eve ;-)

So I've finally decided to update... since, you know, I have the time now that I'm at home. Anyway, so yeah.. I'm home now! :-D Which is definitely a good thing. I've missed being home for sure. Oh Oh, and Zay's here too! :o) She's actually sitting next to me right now... as I'm typing. But yeah, I've been thinking about school and the whole Spartan thing... and I think I've decided to transfer. I told my parents and they said that it was okay if my credits from Spartan will transfer. Frankly, it's not as big of a deal if they do or not... but it'd be nice, but I really just want to get out of there. Moving on from Spartan things... I'm happy to be home. I got to talk to Tree and Dan a little this break too, it was good to have been able to see them again. I think Zay and I are going to help them move in on Sunday, 2 January. I'm bringing Zay back to Taylor for her J-Term and from there, I'm heading back down to Tulsa and straighten some stuff out cuz of the whole Jury Duty thing.

So I was talking with Paul about my car, and I'm tossing around the idea of an engine swap or a bolt-on turbo kit for my little Mitsu Eclipse RS. All I know for sure is that some people are helping me out with whatever I decide to do. Zay seems to be adament to help with the project and maybe learn a few things too ;-) So here are the specs of my car right now... and the estimated costs for each option. Tell me what you think! :-D

Star Stage II Turbo Kit 2799.00 + tax = approx. 3000 2 Day installation
____________________________________________________
4G63T (GS-T/GSX) Engine Swap 1700.00 + tax + parts = approx. 3000 1 Week installation
____________________________________________________
Anyway, that's it... Let me know what you think! Any opinions or comments would be helpful ;)

Welp, I'm out... update maybe more later.

Screwed by Spartan

So I get called up for jury duty on the 14th of Dec. and I requested a postponement. It was denied, no surprise, but what irked me the most was when I went and talked to the student records dept and the president of this stupid "college." According to the attendance policy of this school, no absences are allowed except in case of death in the family. None. So if called up for jury duty, one has to decide to face legal action from a state or repeat a $1200 course. Stupid huh? Man... I hate this place. On the bright side, I get to spend a month at home and have a good chance at seeing Zay. That'll be really good. Maybe work too... who knows... I know for sure that I don't really want to come back here though. They make me mad... which is quite hard to do... but they did it... ah well... I'm just complaining now. Might as well just accept my bruises and go on with my life.

The Long Awaited Update

I know you're all surprised (for those of you who read this anyway :P). I haven't really felt like updating this thing in awhile. I guess cuz I didn't really have much to talk about. Tulsa isn't really that great and I miss all my friends and family. Um... let's see... I'm finishing up my class on Basic Electronics now and I'm not doing that bad in it. Actually, it's almost impossible to not get an 'A' in this class... like most of the classes here. Spartan is as corrupt as ever and I'm counting down the days until I graduate or transfer... probably transfer if their credits actually do anything anywhere else. I'm looking for a different job still... cuz a commission based income isn't the greatest when you have to make rent every month... and the fact that they haven't payed me in awhile... um... what else... yeah, I'm not really sure. Overall, I don't really like it here and I wonder sometimes why I came Tulsa, OK to attend Spartan. I don't feel challenged ever, I have to pay rent for an apartment infested with bugs, I have no close friends here, everyone either smokes or drinks until they can't walk straight (for fun mind you), and I feel like my spiritual needs aren't being met. So yeah... I hate it here. And that's a basic rundown of what I'm feeling.

Not too happy huh? I wish I could give you all better news, really I do. Sometimes I wish that I were back in the Taylor bubble with everybody I know, but it wasn't meant to be. I miss Zay horribly and hate that we can only correspond over e-mail because I can't afford a phone and/or minutes. I have jury duty on the 14th that I can't go to and even if I did, I'd miss more than 3 days of school here, which results in an automatic failure for the term (which is uber-stupid cuz they have a no tolerance attendance policy)... Maybe I should stop complaining now and just suck it up... yeah... so... it'd be nice to hear from some people... email would be great er somethin... yeah...
