Not Even

I don't think it's even procrastination that keeps me from writing here. That would imply that I know I have to write here and just keep putting it off. I simply don't have much to write. You might think I should have something to write seeing as Friday was Thanksgiving and all. It was my parents and my brothers and myself. We ate. The end. Seriously that was about it. I am thankful that we were all together and my dad wasn't off deployed somewhere.

Oh well I guess I do have something to write about. I went to Milwaukee on Friday to see the Cranberries! It was pretty much awesome. I was front row center. I was right there! I wish they made it so you could here Dolores singing more over the instruments. There were times where I didn't know what songs she was singing. Not that I don't like the instruments. I was obsessed with the drums that night. And the guitar was awesome. It was funny how he would walk off to the back of the stage with his back turned to us to do something serious with the guitar. So other than that, some dude wore way too much cheap cologne and it kept invading my nostrils and I believe the same guy brought his little girl to the front row. I can't tell you how loud it was. Poor kid. They had to go get her some ear plugs to drown out the noise. It was still full of awesome and I'll always remember it.

We were only in Milwaukee a night, but from what I saw and did, I loved it. We hadn't even left and we were trying to figure out the next time we could come back. We Stayed at the Residence Inn right around the corner from The Riverside Theater where I saw the concert and not far from Rock Bottom where we ate after I was done with the concert. I loved how we just walked everywhere. The room we stayed in was pretty nice if not cramped for four people. Can't complain too much for getting the room with points my accumulates by staying at Marriott hotels every time he has to go somewhere. The best thing was the view. We went to sleep with the curtains open. I'll always remember going to sleep to the city lights and waking up to that view was special too. I was sorry to leave the next morning.

It makes me feel better about making plans to live in a city. I was kind of worries, because I like the country. I've never lived in a city and haven't really stayed in one. I'm sure I did when I was a kid and we were driving somewhere, but I don't remember, so it doesn't help me. I stayed in one Friday though and I will remember it and I can't wait to go back. I loved how I could walk everywhere. Will I miss the country? Most definitely. I love trees and space. I won't have that in a city. I'm not saying I will love everything about living in the city and I will probably not want to live there for the rest of my life, but I will definitely enjoy living there for a time.

I am still working at Swiss Colony. Not for very much longer though. Nobody still doesn't know when our last day will be. Personally I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't this week. Maybe the next if we are lucky. I won't miss working there and I will try not to work there again. At least not in the bakery. I don't mind working for eight hours and I certainly don't mind working hard, but standing in the almost exact same spot for eight hours with only (two) fifteen minute breaks (no seperate lunch) is just ridiculous. Sometimes they don't rotate us either, so you end up doing the same thing in the same spot all day. People get yelled at for stupid reason or no reasons at all. They expect us to know something even though they never told us. I won't be sorry to never see that place again. I just have to make it another week or two. Three at the most, but I don't think it's likely.

As for college: Things are progressing. I guess that phrase slowly but surely comes into play here. It seems I've been waiting a whole year to start classes. I better like this whole UW-Platteville Distance Education thing, because it's been hell to get into. I've done courses at two other college and neither has been this difficult. You wouldn't think it would be so hard to start classes, but it is. It's almost as if they don't really want you do study there. That and all they want id your money. There are no payments, they want to be paid in full before I can start. Unfortunately I don't have that much and I can't get the benefits without being officially enrolled. Thankfully yesterday I got a Financial Award letter from the college yesterday. I've been offered a loan that will cover the tuition and books. Then when I get the letter and get back into the system we can start the transfer of benefits. Once that goes through I will get reimbursed and can pay back the loan save for 10 percent. The benefits only cover 90 percent which is fine. I have enough to cover the rest. This better all work, because I am tired of trying to start classes. I was hoping to already be doing classes, but I have to wake till January it looks like.

Movie: I went and saw New Moon. I don't like Kristen Stewart in it. She is kind of annoying in the role, but then that's what I expected cause I felt the same with Twilight. It kind of just dragged out there at the end. If you want to go and see it I'm not going to stop you. It was pretty good. Just in case anybody is wondering.... I'm Team Edward.

It looks like I had more to write about than I realized. I don't have any plans really for the near future, except to keep struggling with the college and to anticipate not working at Swiss colony anymore even though I need to find a job right after. I need to start driving. I am so tired of this. I keep bringing it up with my father and he has said yet again that we will have to set something up. It's going to start snowing soon and that's not the best conditions to learn to drive in. My family wants to go and see Blind Side with Sandra Bullock in it. It looks really good. It's our kinda of movie.

Until next time...
