Strange that I haven't updated in so long; a lot of stuff has been happening lately. More than normal, at any rate.
For one thing, I found a college that I'm seriously considering. It's Southern Illinois University at Carbondale, and tuition for one year there is cheaper than one semester at SMSU. Tons of pros to this place-- highly accredited journalism program, a beautiful campus, and it's far enough away from home to be comfortable. Plus, it's not too far from Greenville (maybe about a hundred miles), so occasionally on the weekends I can visit Ben, Sam, and Jil. Muahaha. They'll never be rid of me.
The only thing standing in my way on that one was mandatory immunizations by Illinois law, but I found out yesterday that there is a provision for religious exemption, thank God. No shots for me! I'm officially contagious! Eeeheeheeheehee!
Anyway. Let's see here; what else... Well, I got an evaluation at Springfield 8, and scored mostly ones (once again, on stuff I've never done or haven't been trained on), but I wasn't particularly disgusted because every point counts toward my final score, and my final score counts toward my raise. So now I'm up to a whopping $5.20 an hour. I'm so ready to quit. Call me, Borders!
Oh, and one last thing; I've found myself really getting back into guitar lately. It's suddenly become incredibly easy for me to learn chords, using my little method... I go online, find chords and tabs for various songs (mostly U2, of course), and figure them out that way. What fun. Next spring I'll probably be taking a beginning guitar course here at OTC... Heckuva lot cheaper than actual lessons.
Well, it's eight minutes 'til class, so I'd best wrap this up. I'll be back later with more news and random observations. Namar.
