Ok not really. I'm putting in about 52 hours between both jobs this week and it'll be a steady 40 after that till school starts. And yet this has still given me some time to myself, the 20 minutes I spend in the shower each morning. Which had previously been given to homework problem solving during the semester.

Due to the lack of my friends updating their blog or not having one at all, I've become bored. So since I'm bored I'm going to bore you with some details of my life. Aren't you special?

A couple of days ago Jon, Nate and I were talking about goals for the end of the year. I decided that I don't have enough(read: any) free time between now and then so I decided to extend my goals accomplishing period till the end of my winter break. Which just so happens to be January 15th. We all decided that more time dedicated to the mod was important, and thus I have been working up some goals that go right along with getting that all important goal on track. I guess I can list them out for all ya blog readers.

• More time for the mod. (duh)
• A few mod related things that I need to do are to get out my C/C++ books and brush up on my C/C++ syntax. I also need to get Hammer, and the Source SDK installed and working. Then it will be on to some research on how to get started with this mod.
• Reformating the main pc. I'm going make it a dual boot between WinXP(50GB) and Ubuntu(30GB). Windows for games and Mod work, and Ubuntu for everything else.
• Clean up various parts of my apartment. I need to clean up some stuff in my room and rearrange my book shelves.
• Setup one of my pcs as an Ubuntu Server for things like Apache, PHP, MySQL, SVN, Vent server, etc. There is an extremely slight chance that this could turn into a file server in the future.
• Get books, folders, and notebooks for the next (and final!) semester of school.

I have gotten a bit of those finished. I have cleaned up part of my room and organized one of my book cases. I also reformated my main pc last night and started installed windows on it. I hope to have the programs and most of the games finished up by the time I head to job number two. With any luck I'll have the pc totally restored and the cleaning done before I head home for New Year's Weekend. My plan is to set up the server and the mod stuff once I get back. With the first of the year here my hours and Dillions should be cut back and maybe I'll only be working 35 or so hours a week.

A goal I plan to do through out this next semester is one I keep telling myself that I'll do every semester, but I figure that since it's my last I should at least try it once. I will stay on top of my homework. I will start if not finish it on the first free (non-Dillions work) night after I get it assigned. Hopfully then I can avoid the hell I went through the last two weeks of this past semester. I also think only have one programming class instead of four will help as well.

I remembered to check my grades yesterday and I managed to pass all my classes, even the databases one that I had the crappy project to do. I ended up with 3 B's and a C. Not as good as I would have liked, but I passed and my GPA stayed about the same so I'm not complaining too much.

I guess I had better get some work done. I could sit here and bitch about people and how they suck. I even had a whole rant lined out instead of this entry, but I ultimately decided that its life and I'm just going to have to get used to it if I want to be in this line of work.

Side Note: If a person who writes a blog is a blogger does that make those who read a blog bloggees?
