Happenings in Tulsa
Nothing really has happened here in Tulsa as far as I know. It rained though, which was amazing. It cooled down for a couple days after that too. My instructor for Digital Systems decided that it was going to be a bad winter this year, which I'm not too sure about but I don't really mind. It'll probably be a better winter here than up in the Chicago area. I miss that place. Oh, so apparently Tulsanites like to speed up on the highway during torrential downpours cuz there were at least 4 accidents that I've heard of in the last 3 days involving hydroplaning, barriers, traffic, and other cars. I really wish that driving around town wasn't so hazardous. Ah well... what can ya do but live with it. I suppose you could whine and complain, but that doesn't really solve anything does it? heh.
I showered today. That was a nice change. Unfortunately, I stay busy to the point that when I get back to the apartment, I'm too tired to want to do anything so I just go to bed. I have some energy left from work today so I decided to blog ^_^ I have neglected it recently. But yeah, back to showers, I showered after class today cuz I really felt gross and I just needed one. It had been since Monday or so since my last shower. Also, since my hair is long again, my face tends to get kinda greasy and gross... I'm sure you all wanted to know that.
At work, we spend the latter part of the night (around 9ish) doing nothing cuz the Repair server went down for a couple hours. All the level 3 techs kinda just sat around for an hour until David (the lead tech for night shift) told us all to clear some phones. What he meant by clear was to go through the phones we had gotten in the warehouse and, by hand, clear phone books, call lists, messages, basically everything off the phone. So basically had us doing level 2 work... which drove me crazy. I don't understand how they do it. Way too tedious... I was glad when Service Central (the Repair server) came back online. I didn't think I'd ever say that. hehe. No, I like my job, it's quite a bit of fun. Except when I get phones with everything wrong with them... but it's a job and I need the money. Darn bills.
Anyway, that's really all that's happened here in Tulsa. Oh, I failed the first quiz of Digital, but so did most of the class, so I wasn't worried so much about that. I felt pretty dumb though, hehe. One guy got a 64 or something like that, and he had taken the class once before already... what does that tell you? Crazy. Well, I'm tired now... so I'm gonna go shleep. Update later! Bye peeps :-)
Roarin' back online
Okay, well not so much roaring, but I couldn't think of a better title :-P So I moved during my extended absence from the internet... hence my extended absence. The move was pretty good. It was a little hectic as far as my working and not really being able to get stuff done but eventually, everything was moved and things were situated in the new abode. I live about 10-15 minutes from the school now in the quieter part of town, which is nice cuz now I don't have to put up with loud music at 2am and I get some decent sleep, whenever I don't play video games when I get back from work :-P Another perk is that I live about 5 minutes from work! So I could walk to & from work, but I'd rather not risk walking back to the apartment at 1am... I'm still distrustful of Tulsa.
Another term at Spartan and I managed to pass another class... woo. I'm going into Digital something or other. I'm not sure what the class name is actually. I know the instructor is pretty experience though. Seems he works for American Airlines at their Avionics shop and teaches at Spartan. Where he finds the time to sleep, I have no clue. He's a sharp guy though and pretty cool from what I hear about him. Well, I hope that this class will be interesting. Otherwise, my desk and I are going to become best friends. The first day of class is tomorrow, nice huh? I didn't end up going anywhere for the little break we had cuz I had to work, but come Labor Day weekend, I'll spend some time with a weird little lady who lives in Indiana. I got the word from some people that she's pretty kewl. Also, she wants to learn how to work on cars, which I think is amazing. So me and her are going to bolt-on this little intake kit I'm getting for my car. That'll be super fun. Maybe I'll throw oil on her... or maybe just spray her with the hose... that might be better. Well, who knows right? :-D I hope that she'll be able to go to France though... and finish off her degree at Taylor. It would be sad if she had to leave TU... although, it's not the end of the world and God definitely knows what's best for her. I'll leave it in His hands.
Well, that's all for this update. I've gotta get some shut-eye for school & work tomorrow. Catch you folks later! God bless ^_^
