Update #25

So I've been keeping up with the idea of waking up early and getting work done or at least doing something since my last post. every morning my alarm goes off at 9:00 and I hate myself for interrupting my summer sleep. I had no reason to get up other than my own will. for some reason it worked and now I have the time to blog in the morning.

Well since the last blog a few things have happened. I am no longer going to Texas, I got my grades back, and I got a job.

The conference that the other students and I were going to speak at was canceled. apparently its a bad idea to have a bunch of medical experts at the center of the flu breakout. It makes sense they want people to be able to help their own hospitals and stay away so they themselves don't catch the bug and bring it home. or at least I think that what the reasoning was. I don't blame them but I'm kinda disappointed that my trip was canceled. I was looking forward to going to a conference and going to Texas. I hope I'll get the chance to go to another one.

I got my grades back and they were okay. B-, B,B+,A-,A-. this brought my GPA down by 0.1 but I am still on the deans list. I'll have to try to bring it back up again next semester.

So I got the job I applied for. after the slight set back on getting notice I was offered the job yesterday. I understand the reason for the setback and as far as I can tell they still haven't hired anyone else. I think that some strings may have been pulled in order to let me know back quicker because I had to leave for the summer otherwise. but anyway that starts right away.

yesterday I was able to finally go out and get my passport pictures. so now I should have everything I need I just need to send it out. I also got my hair cut and I got some hooks from walmart.

I have also continued in my productivity crusaide. I am continueing to read the book. I ran into a few different parts that were slightly over my head but it gave me an idea of where I should be heading as a programmer. I have also worked a little more on my website.

I went climbing yesterday and got down two new routes without falling. these were routes that I had finished before but I fell when I tried them. I need to remember to bring my camera next time we go.
