It seems like I don’t have much to post about these days… or perhaps it is that I only have mundane things to post about? Either way, I feel like I could at least do a bulleted update list or something, to give y’all the 411 on what’s going on in the wonderful world of duane.
- I have officially ran out of classes to take for my pre-requisites. I am taking Microbiology this fall, and after that, I just have to wait to get into a program. I am really anxious about getting into one right away, because I REALLY want to get moving on this nursing degree. Keep your fingers crossed for me.
- Speaking of taking that one class, just getting the random holds off of my account at GPC was more than a headache that lasted from early June all the way through this week. Currently, things are okay, but it was REALLY frustrating to deal with… especially when you call the registration and administration services offices at any of their campuses, and all it does is ring five times before you get a voicemail. Is anyone working there? I mean, they have extended hours for crying out loud! Ugh, I am just glad I have things squared away with GPC.
- I have officially applied to Kennesaw and Georgia State. I am awaiting my friendly “you got in, yay” packet, so that I can then apply to each one of their nursing programs. I REALLY want to get in and start taking the next steps to becoming a nurse. I am so freaking ready it isn’t even funny.
- I mentioned a while back that I wanted a new lens for my birthday, but I ended up getting that before I went on my NYC trip. I have decided to wait a little while and see what Apple is going to do, but I have pretty much promised myself that I will be obtaining an iPod touch in the near future. I hope that they come out with one that has more than 32gb, and is cheaper than $500. It would be awesome to throw a camera on that thing too; because I think that the iPhone is awesome, and I would like to have everything BUT the phone. Hurry Apple! I’m anxious!
- We are still loving the counter tops, sink, and new faucet. I literally walk into the kitchen every time, and cannot believe that it is my house. It was the last thing about our house that we wanted to desperately change, and it has been done… I love our house even more now!
- Other than dealing with trying to get transcripts out, holds taken off of accounts, applications in, and other whatnot, I have been hanging out with friends and having a pretty good last few weeks. My mood seems to be in an upswing, and I am not complaining about that in the least. I just wish I could get rid of my extreme sensitivity to heat. I really feel like people think that I am making it up sometimes just for attention, which is far from the truth. The other night, we were at a cookout, and I had to leave really abruptly, or pass out. Seriously, I sat in the car for like 10 minutes with the AC on full blast just to keep my food down, and my self conscious. It was awful. I just wish that it didn’t bother me as bad as it does.
- Lastly, I guess, Soul Calibur IV, while it may make me REALLY frustrated at times when the opponent is a seemingly perfect god of moves and penetrating skills, is an amazing game. They have improved over the Soul Calibur franchise considerably, and the graphics are nothing short of jaw droppingly beautiful. It is also a hoot to play as Yoda, because he says a bunch of his little catch phrases, and well, he’s just so damn cute! It’s a great game, and a must for any fighting game fan. The Xbox 360 continually impresses me with it’s graphical prowess.
Alright, that’s it for now. Back to life…
um, how about you proposing to james?
I was definitely chuckling after reading mingaling’s comment. How could you have forgotten that? Saw the flickr pictures, but no story. Give us the story, if ya feel like sharing. As for Apple, if you can hold out till the holiday season, I bet they will be updating their iPod line. They have to push sales somehow. Anyways, you should have readers submit questions for you if you are running out of blog topics. My sister has done that before on her blog when she was felt out of things to say.
Congrats to you and James!!
I so love my itouch - the music is ok but I love the photos!!
So, you going FT to school if you get in??
I feel ya on the HEAT issue - I think I melt each time I walk out the door.
mingaling, I rectified that… I think it deserved it’s own post anyways, don’t you?
Dan, I don’t think that it was that I forgot it, I just guess that since I posted the pictures on flickr, that I neglected to mention on here as well. I rectified that though!!! And yes, I am salivating at the idea of a new ipod touch. Hurry up apple!!!
Wendy, thanks cuz! I am hoping that I can go full time. Wish me luck!
LOL. I know you didn’t forget. By the way, you guys always look so amazingly happy in your pictures. Makes me mad that the stupid people in the world can’t stop and reflect on the happiness and love of your relationship. Glad to hear that wedding bells are in your future!
And as far as Apple goes, retailers are being told to stock up on supplies of iPods right now which usually means that Apple is prepping to release new products in the near future. Gotta get rid of all the old iPods from store shelves first. Some computer genius people on the net have also found some new firmware listings for iPod software that point to a completely new product.
I hate the heat in Atlanta too; it’s been nice to have a break this weekend.
