The Life of a College Student - Blogithttp://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/aclarke/Personal Journal of a College student with Senior Standinghourly12000-01-01T12:00+00:00Updatehttp://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/aclarke/618419Hi everyone! I'm sorry I haven't been updating (For those who do care) but things have gotten away from me as usual on top of just not feeling a whole lot like writing lately. I'm working on the last three nights of class this week, starting tomorrow and it's crunch time. I've got a somewhat big project due Thursday night that I've been working on but now really need to get it accomplished. Things like Jessie and my 1 year anniversary and practicing music have taken priority over this class....Busy Weekhttp://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/aclarke/616266It's been a while since I've been able to sit down and seriously post. Things continue to go well though, just extremely busily. I started my summer class that only runs 4 weeks. It's all about education in America from pre-revolutionary times until present. We are getting in to everything from slavery and education to NCLB. It's a very intense course, and the class consists of me, my professor and one other girl-which makes it more intensive. I'm loving it though because it's forcing me to...Places to NEVER buy from againhttp://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/aclarke/615648I need to rant about some things here as I have had some pretty bad customer service experiences lately and I'm hoping to save people some grief if you shop at these places because it's been nothing but a pain from day one. The first place I would like to talk about is a little store called Microcenter. Microcenter and their website look, on the outside, like a respectable retail establishment that deals with nothing but electronics. They may wheel and deal with electronics full time, but...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/aclarke/615622Hello All. I wanted to take a minute out and post this before diving back in to my day. Pictures from Brookfield Zoo ^^ That link will take you to the whole album -------------------------------------------------- Last night Jessie and I had the privelage of celebrating our friend Katie's 21st birthday. A small group of us had dinner at Katie's house and then it was off to Hala Kahiki for Katie's first night of being legal! Katie has been fighting a tumor in her chest of over a year now and...Day One Back at Workhttp://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/aclarke/615423A pretty busy and overall great day back at work! Lots of things to catch up on there, it's amazing how much piles up from the week with no weekend staff to take care of the over flow. Getting off at 3pm instead of 5pm felt pretty good too. Those last two hours to my shift always seemed to go by so slowly. I've always been great full for my job but it's nice to go in there, get my work done and leave without sitting around staring off in to space for two hours. Some people like those kinds of...Before I Go To Bedhttp://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/aclarke/615179The comments I have gotten have brought a smile to my face. Thank you everyone for taking the time to read my mindless ramblings! I have been working on a business card and sticker design for my Father for about a week now and we finally just tied it all together tonight. I believe it's ready for print but he wants one more opinion before we send it off. My Dad builds bicycle wheels as a hobby and is looking to sell them. They are hand built and he is meticulous with every detail to the point...Day Two on Blogithttp://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/aclarke/615101Well here I am for my second post on this wonderful community. Blogit feels like a cozy place on the internet to share thoughts and feelings and, even though it's only day 2, I am enjoying browsing through everyone's posts and reading what others have to say. The room continues to be a disaster, lessened by the fact that I keep picking at the mess a little bit every hour or so and then it's right back to the computer to check email, read more on blogit, play a game or just enjoy the start of...First Week Home, Going on the Secondhttp://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/aclarke/614956The first week of my official summer vacation has flown by. It has been interesting to say the least, it's amazing what can happen in just a week. The week started off strong. I moved back home Friday (May 22nd) and managed to get all of my stuff home in one car load. I cannot believe the amount of crap I have accumulated over the course of about 9 months. I came home with all of the stuff I left with, and only slightly more than I had originally brought-which is a feat in itself considering...
