Being Done with School is so NICE!!!

Being Done with School is so NICE!!!

This morning was so sweet because I was able to sleep in long enough to not be tired and then I had a super productive morning.  I woke up at 8:00 AM to fill up my dog's food and water bowls and then realized that I should just stay up and do stuff.  I played NBA 2K12 until about 9:30 because I just had to finish one game of the regular season, assign my 29,000 points for winning MVP and then own the Clippers in the first round of the playoffs.  VERY NICE ;)  Then I played with my dog for a while because my wife always takes the leashes so I couldn't take her for a walk.  Every time I go to talk my dog on a walk I can't ever find S-Woman's leash so she gets all exited and then her hopes are shattered.  So to make up for it I played tug-o-war with her until she got tired.  I got up and started cleaning and spent about two hours cleaning but everything is spotless.  When I was putting the couch covers on S-Woman was chasing me around the couches and was getting mad because she couldn't catch me ha.  There was one time that she was chasing my hand and she got so into it that she jumped off the couch and luckily landed in the pile of blankets next to the couch.  I cleaned the living room, did the dishes, vacuumed, cleaned the bathroom mirror, bathroom sink, toilet, picked up the dining room and cleaned up S-Woman's Potty Pads.  I hate saying Potty Pads because it sounds so lame ha.

After I got done cleaning I did some laundry, picked up my wife's package, got ready and went to work.  I've been here for the past 5.5 hours and it's going by pretty fast.  It's been a pretty easy day because usually there are a lot of students that cancel on Friday's because they're out doing stuff or they're students that don't have their assignments done.  I really like working Friday nights because it's chill, Lance is here, Carlos is here and it's just overall pretty bomb.  

I'm sitting here listening to Pandora, using J-Slam's headset and sitting in J-slam's chair.  Sickest job so far and I plan on keeping it for a while!  Haven't sold anything lately on e-B-a-Y but it'll pick up once I get my Xbox 360 stuff in.  

Well I'm out for now but I'll probably be back real soon ;)

Just Sitting Here Chillin--Wishing that People Posted More Frequently on Facebook.

Chillin--Wishing that People Posted More Frequently on Facebook.

I never thought I'd say this but sometimes while I'm just chilling at work I wish that there were more websites to surf, more people posting on Facebook and that some emails from students would pour in.  I usually unsubscribe from people like six times a day because I get sick of their stupid posts but now I'm regretting that I unsubscribed from everybody so quickly.  Tuesdays and Thursdays are usually boring anyways because I'm here 10 hours and there is nobody around me to talk to.  Carlitos is cool to talk to but he's constantly on the phone because he spends like 35 minutes per session with his students haaha.  

I did go to M-Cats training today (which sucked) and pretty much just sat and talked to H-Dawg and B-Will during the entire meeting.  His training sucked because he's old, doesn't have any idea what he's talking about and just copies what Fatty says and teaches.  Fatty by the way isn't meant to be rude or vulgar but it is to protect the identity of him who I call Fatty.  :)

Sorry No Video Today.  (I can't think of what one to put up here)

Just ordered $200 Worth of Xbox 360 Crap from Compusa

The last time I ordered some stuff from Compusa I sold it immediately and made some good profit so I decided to duplicate my order and order 4 sets of Xbox 360 stuff.  I sell a lot of it on eBay and I try to hook people up on the Xbox Live Memberships by offering them on Facebook but the thing about that is that it doesn't show up on my eBay account and my company won't pay me for those sales.

Well anyways today has been freaking awesome because I've had good calls, good food and had some good conversations.  Tomorrow morning will be so sweet because I'll get to sleep in a little bit, hang out with my dog and play some NBA 2K12.

This weekend is going to be pretty bomb as well because I'm going to hang with my wife and my friends.

Nothing to do for 30 Minutes.

Well I'm sitting here with nothing to do for the next 30 minutes.  I can't wait to get off tonight because I'm going to go play basketball and try to get back in shape for summer.  I can't believe how much I've been doing lately with work, school and working on my online business.  I really lose track of time and the worst part is that I don't have time to do anything like hang out with my wife, clean my car, maintain my house, build my business or stay in shape.  Well just venting a little bit and I wouldn't doubt if I post again today.

Three calls, lunch and a Sonic Run = 4 hours of being clocked in at work.

Three calls, lunch and a Sonic Run = 4 hours of being clocked in at work.

Even though it might appear that I haven't done anything I really have done a lot of work today because I've done about 10 emails and have done some quality calls up to this point.  I tried to call an escalation back but she didn't answer so we'll try again later.  

I got some food from Wendy's and then came back to work just to leave again to grab a drink from Sonic.  I got a Cherry Limeade but I meant to get a Strawberry Limeade.

Finals Are Finally Over! One Year Completed!

Today is Wednesday and I was up until 1 AM last night finishing my English paper.  It was a 9 page researched argument paper that I decided to do about the differences between the novel and film of To Kill A Mockingbird.  I had about 2.5 pages done before I started again last night but I spent about two hours just trying to rearrange my introduction and my thesis.  Once I finally got rolling everything went pretty smoothly though.  I'm nervous and exited to see what I got on the paper.

I woke up this morning at about 9 AM because my dog was restless and needed something to do.  I wanted to wake up early and get some stuff done but I've only gotten about 10 hours of sleep in the past two days compared to about 30 hours of school, work and homework.  I got up, got ready and headed to school so that I could turn in my English paper.  I got that turned in and immediately felt a heavy weight lift off my shoulders.  Now all I had to do was take my Astronomy Final.  I made about 80 flash cards from the review that John Powell (teacher) gave us but they really didn't help.  I knew all the material on the flash cards but the answers on the test weren't anything close to what the review was.  I would probably guess that I got about a C on the test because there were some of the 100 questions that I felt really good about and others that I didn't feel too good about.

We'll see how everything goes!

Homecomings and Flash Cards.

This morning I woke up at 7:30 so that I could get ready and make it to my friend's homecoming by 9:00 AM.  I served with him in Chile and it's been a year since I've seen him.  When I was about ready to walk out the door I got a bad case of Mad Hot Diah....  No joke I probably sat on the toilet for a good twenty minutes.  Well I finally settled down and was able to leave and head to his homecoming.  By the time I got there I was already 25 minutes late but I was just in time for the talks.  Some little girl spoke, then his little brother and then him.  It was pretty cool because his little brother is leaving for his mission on Wednesday and he just got home this Tuesday. The talks were based around the Plan of Salvation and I was really distracted because there were a ton of people and because I just wasn't really in the mood to hear talks.

After I got home from his talk I played Xbox and owned some teams on NBA 2K12.  After that I went to visit my Great Grandma.  It was a good visit because she loves company and she says that I'm the only one that ever goes to visit her.  I took out her garbage and just sat and talked with her about life.  After that I drove straight to my in-laws house to have hamburgers with them.  My wife left at 5:30 to go help one of her friends with her engagement pictures but I stayed and watched the new Mission Impossible with my brother and father in law.

After that I went home and studied music flash cards and songs that were on the final.

Saturday's Schedule: Traffic School, Yard Work, Hanging with my sister and Chillin with my Wife.

Saturday's Schedule:  

Traffic School, Yard Work and hanging with my Sister and Wife

Last Thursday I was driving to my in-laws to drop my dog off for the day and I got pulled over.  It's the road that I hate the most in all of Pleasant Grove because it's long, wide and empty but the speed limit is 25 MPH. There is nothing but fields next to the road but for some reason Cops think that it's cool to sit there and try to catch me going 14 miles over the speed limit with a Shih-Tzu hanging out the window.  I wasn't too mad when I got pulled over because I knew that I was breaking the law but I had no idea that I was speeding because I felt like I was going  a normal speed.

ANYWAYS.....  I had traffic school Saturday morning in the library.  It was two hours long and there were two people from my ward in attendance.  The cop that gave the training was pretty cool but him and his partner kept making cop jokes that made no sense to anyone that wasn't a cop.  After that I ran to Gandolfo's, grabbed some breakfast sandwiches, dropped one off to my wife, changed my clothes and headed over to my dad's house in American Fork.  

My little sister was there so instead of helping my dad the whole time I spent the majority of the time playing with her.  We played football, soccer and threw walnuts at each other.  It was a really nice day so it was a fun experience and she was in heaven because we rarely get to spend quality time together.  After we got everything cleaned up, got the mowers running and fixed the truck (wow that sounded white trash) I went up to Helen's to mow her lawn.  

It took me about 1.5 hours because I mowed and weed-eated everything.  The grass was really long in the front yard but everything else was pretty short.

After Helen's I played with my little sister some more then we drove over to my apartment so that I could take a shower and go to lunch.  Her, my wife and I all went to Mcdonalds to grad some food.  We chose Mcdonalds because it has a play place and she loves those.  

After all was said and done I was exhausted and had no desires to do anything but sit on my butt for the rest of the night.  Now all I had to look forward to was waking up early for the next week straight because of church, finals and work.

The Eventful Friday before Finals

The Eventful Friday before Finals

This last weekend was nuts so I wasn't able to stay up to date on my blog.  Friday night was a boring night because I ended up leaving work at 8:40 PM so the night was pretty much gone by the time I got home.  My wife didn't get home until about 9:45 because she was doing her aunts hair.  I basically talked with her for about 30 minutes and then played Xbox because she went to bed and I wasn't tired.

I've been having a really hard time going to sleep lately because my mind is racing trying to think about work, eBay, the baby, college and getting a house.  Well Friday night ended peacefully after a couple games of NBA 2K12 and a good nights rest.

I was in the ZONE last night and I finished my 6 Page Humanities Paper!

I got home from work last night at about 8:30 PM and I was exhausted but knew that I had to get my Humanities paper finished because it is due on Monday but I have other finals to study for before then.  I didn't want to just jump straight into the paper because I needed a break because I'd been at work and school for the past 12 hours.

I turned on my Xbox and decided to play a game on NBA 2K12 and when I was on fire I decided to do a couple drills and then decided to play another game.  My team is owning right now (54-6) and we clinched a #1 playoff seed a couple games back.  My guy was named to the All-Star team and right now I'm number 1 for MVP and Most Improved Player.  I don't know why I'm writing about a fantasy world on my blog but I have to do something to fill up all this white space.  Anyways back to my subject

I only had 1.5 pages done last night but after I got past the second page I just got in the ZONE and I was just flying through each page.  Before I knew it I had explained propagandistic and mystical impulses in about 5 pages and had used 4 specific examples.  It was so awesome to get done with the paper and now that I only have a 9 page paper, art project and two finals left!  By next Wednesday I'm going to be done with everything!

My Second Post of the Day - How I feel after not having a Rockstar Energy Drink.

A couple weeks ago I got really sick and I linked my sickness to my caffeine addiction.  I had been drinking anywhere between 40 and 70 ounces of caffeine per day and it had really affected my health.  I tried to stop drinking it but nothing tastes as good!  When I got sick I linked caffeine to my sickness and told myself that I was done with it for a while.

It's really weird how people link sickness to things that they've eaten or taken around the time that they get sick.  I can think of an old friend who hated pickles because he puked them up when he was about six years old and he has hated them ever since!

Now, last week I was extremely tired and thirsty so I decided to buy a Rockstar Energy drink and I LIKED it..... A LOT!!  I then proceeded to buy one every day for the next four days until I realized it was becoming an addiction and that I had to stop.  I stopped two days ago and I've noticed that yesterday and today I'm very tired and I want to just lay my head on my desk and go to sleep.  I probably could just go out to my car and sleep before my next call (Jesse) but I'm just going to fight through it because I need to work hard. 

I'm back into my caffeine fix because right now I'm drinking a Mountain Dew and yesterday I drank a Dr. Pepper.  I'm going to set myself a goal so that I only drink two caffeine drinks per week.  I'm going to make it a goal to drink one during the week days and then save one weekend day to drink it in case we go out to eat or something like that.

The Wednesday before finals of 2012

Well today is exactly one week before finals are due and I'm really starting to stress out. I am kind of pumped though because last night we beat the team we were playing in soccer 9-1 and I even made a goal. I'm usually just a defender but last night I had a couple of opportunities to score and I made the most of them.
My Humanities teacher decided to extend the date for the final to next Wednesday but it doesn't help me because I still have two tests to study for, a 9 page paper to write and a sculpture to build in 7 days!!
Right now I'm just sitting here at work in my cubicle writing this blog post. Earlier today I had school and it was good but I am ready for it to be over.

I'm currently on the phone with a woman that is very demanding and really tries my patience.  I try explaining something to her and she goes off on random tangents that have nothing to do with what I'm actually talking to her about.  My favorite is when I ask her if she's done something and she says "no" just to find out that she actually did it.  Now don't get me wrong I am really glad that she did what I said but I get annoyed when people don't listen.  I guess I know how my wife feels when I'm playing Xbox. 

Tonight I still have about 4.25 more hours of work but no worries because I'm just going to make the best of it and try not to fall asleep.  All I have to look forward to tonight is getting home to write about the four impulses in humanities.  I really liked the class in general but I think a 6 page paper and a 10 hour art project is really over doing it for a basic generals class.

What I did today at work - April 17, 2012

So far today I've done about sixteen proactive coaching sessions.  A lot of them haven't answered so I decided to go ahead and start a new blog so that I can, after 50 days of posting, reach my goal of having 50 blog posts for my next Level Certification.  Right now I'm at level two and I'm shooting to reach Level Three by June or July of this year.  In becoming Level Three Certified I can get a better office chair and have a nice cute little picture frame over my desk.

Before work today I didn't really do anything because I came in today at 8:00 AM.  I woke up, got ready, stopped at Sonic and got a large Fanta (because all day is Happy Hour today at Sonic) and then came to work. My wife knows that I have a ton of homework due next week, due to finals, so she's going to take our dog up to her Mom's house so that I can have the house alone to make some good progress on my homework.  I'll probably end up playing a game of NBA 2K12 on Xbox 360 but I am almost positive that I can finish a good portion of my Humanities final before the night is over.  At 9:55 PM I have a soccer game at the Lindon Indoor Soccer Arena with the work team here at my company.  I'm planning on scoring zero goals, because I play defense.

Here is the different homework assignments that I have due before next Wednesday:

1. 9 Page Researched Argument Paper for English 2010
2. 6 Page Humanities Paper
3. Humanities Art Project (10 Hour Minimum Time Requirement)
4. 2 Hour Music Final (Listening Exam and Written Test)
5. 2 Hour Astronomy Final covering everything through out the semester

I'll check back tomorrow and tell more about my day but for now let's enjoy the daily video :-)
