Fresh Start

Ok,

So it's been about a MILLION years since my last post. Ok, so not really that long, but about 7 months. Things kinda went crazy. I made it through my volleyball season. I decided that it was my last year on the team. I got pretty terrible grades my first quarter at MSOE this year.

Second quarter started, and I nearly died. I was pitching and going to captains practices and wearing myself out going with Steve to his volleyball games for work. Most nights I really shouldn't have gone because I had tests to study for or homework to do, but I just didn't want to do it. I had lost all motivation for school this last year.

Softball finally started, I was made one of the captains which was awesome. And basically the only pitcher. We went to Michigan for a tournament and got our butts kicked and when we got home I got my exam results for second quarter. They were terrible again and my parents pulled the money. And needless to say, I couldn't afford to pay $8,000 to go to school third quarter.

So I've been out of school since February. I finally found a good job in May. I'm working as an Intern at DRS Technologies. My plan now is to go to MATC and take some classes towards a computer science degree at UW-Milwaukee. I tried to apply there first and wasn't accepted. Probably because I had a 2.0 at MSOE.

So that's where I stand. Maybe I'll finally start using this thing more often. I kinda feel like I need to remind myself. I don't even had internet at home yet. So I can only blog when I'm at work (if the net nanny doesn't block it) or at home. Right now I'm in a hotel in Wheeling, IL waiting for my boyfriend to get out of work so that we can go enjoy some dinner together. He's been down here for almost an entire month now. So I decided to come visit since I didn't have anything better to do.

He just bought a house and he got to stay there for a week and then a few weekends this past month. So he's a little frustrated that he has to live out of hotels when he has a home back in Wisconsin. And I'm frustrated because I'm living in a house all by myself that I don't even own. It's great.

So that should catch up all that's happened in the past few months. At least the major stuff.

Maybe I'll start posting my knitting projects in progress on here. That would involve me getting a decent camera though. O well....

If only life were simple.
