man. i probably shouldn't make a habit of this having a nightcap after work, but gol' durn it sure is nice.
i mean, it's really cool to have my body go numb and all the little noises to go quiet before i go to sleep. and it's not like it's so much as to cause a problem in the morning. it's just enough.
i don't think it's a problem. i could stop if i wanted to. like this weekend. that'd be good.
wheee. i should've seen this coming. i just enjoy the fact that i can't feel my face far too much. but yet i can still type and stuff....
meh. i don't think it's going to be an issue. i mean, it might be, but as long as i just respect things for what they are.
no sangria tonight though.
tonight is white russian. it's much better when its not 2% milk and orange rum, let me tell you. there's a fun story.
it involves kevin having sex in my parents' waterbed.
good times, good times.

charlevoix was fucking sweet. i want to go back there and stay in that place and that moment forever and ever. but i can't.
that being said, i started work on tuesday. and i'm making calls about living arrangements for next fall. so far no luck.
work is pretty cool. the guys are nice and relaxed, which is cool. and the work is sort of interesting. i'm basically unloading semi-trailers right now. and sorting the stuff that we're unloading. it's lots of pushing and pulling and lifting and stuff. but tomorrow i take my hilo test. hopefully that goes well. there's a written portion, as well as a practical, with an obstacle course and everything. hopefully i do alright.
friday morning i made an appointment to take the truck into the shop and have them replace the steering relay rod. apparently it's like a 4 hour job. and it's all free, because it's a recall part. sweetness. maybe i'll get an alignment out of the deal. i'll be sure to bring a book.
so, life keeps on trucking, faster than i can keep up. but that's okay.
i don't have to keep up. because everyone is so wonderful to me.

one more day. and i've done absolutely nothing to prepare for the journey. or even the simple fact that it's been a week.
i'm supposed to be waiting for a package to arrive. no word yet. if it's not here by noon, tough shit, because i have to go to orientation for work. but i can't find my birth certificate. and tomorrow i need to go to grand valley in the morning blah blah blah.
check out dungeonman 3, with new l337 gr4f1x. it'll kick your ass before you knew what hit you. but in a good way.

:: Mood: not tired enough
it's been cool hanging out with kevin for the past couple of days. we split the bottle of jägermeister last night, while we watched dogma. that was a lot of fun. we're both badasses, but at the same time, kind of classy. and that's fucking sweet.
going to chicago tomorrow with mom and libby. should be fun.
job training on thursday.
friday we leave for charlevoix. chris = indescribably excited.
oh, and i got my final grades for school.
Statistics: A
German: A
EuroCiv (history): B -
EuroCiv (literature): B -
and i'm going to have to go into the office on thursday and bitch some people out, because they didn't give me credit for my band class. however, i'm excited, simply because i'm not on probation. after one year of college, my cumulative gpa is a whopping 3.5. which i was pleased with. i just keep shooting for above a 3.2. and apparently, i keep hitting the mark, and indeed, going above and beyond it. which is nice. but i know the road will only get steeper as i get into my major courses. it's all uphill from here. but at least i have a semi-safe start. which pleases me greatly.
alrighty. so, i guess we're getting up at seven tomorrow. suppose i'm not getting much sleep tonight. that's what i get for taking a fucking nap.
i didn't mean to, honest!
but i'm feeling much better knowing that i'm starting to have things to do again. and i'm just coming to grips with my new/old life again. that transition has been more traumatic than i initially suspected. at least i'm having some help along the way.
love you guys.
and i miss my girlfriend.

I'm getting tired of these random "emo" nights. XD
Enough with all that mess.
Aw, man. I just remembered about the Cyber Flower account I had. I couldn't find my password, and then I lost internet connection for a long while. =[ Sad.
Random question:
Am I the only one surrounded by Mexicans that say "eh"?

shannon's last weekend was fun. i had a good time. met jesse. met uncle dan. had dinner wit sum folks. it was nice.
i'll be going up to charlevoix with them this coming weekend. i'm looking very much forward to that.
ummm... other stuff...
got a 98% on my stats exam.
the GTI is dead, and we're not going to insure it anymore. hopefully i can get it running still, so if we wind up selling it, we won't be entirely raped. i don't want to sell it though. it's a fun car. but if i can't drive it, then what's the point?
steelcase this summer. orientation thursday.
wednesday i'm going to chicago with mom and libby to get some work done on the mini.
stuff, etc.
i'm getting distracted and forgetful. i'll come back later when i'm more sharp.

e.e. cummings - 'since feeling is first'
since feeling is first
who pays any attention
to the syntax of things
will never wholly kiss you;
wholly to be a fool
while Spring is in the world
my blood approves,
and kisses are a better fate
than wisdom
lady i swear by all flowers. Don't cry
- the best gesture of my brain is less than
your eyelids' flutter which says
we are for each other; then
laugh, leaning back in my arms
for life's not a paragraph
And death i think is no parenthesis

last weekend of the semester....
so, friday was pretty busy. class at 10. class at 2. radio show at 5. open swim at 7. dishes and dinner after swimming. then it was off to the big lake at 11. we left the big lake around 1 or so, having done all that we set out to do. saturday was moving moving moving shit, and going to the bank for cash for tuesday. i hung out with mom and bruce for a bit. then i came back to campus. placed the drink order for tuesday with andre. helped katie and ellen unloft their room. proceeded to unloft/clean/vacuum my room with jim. everything's all squared away now, i think. well, not everything. but as much as i could do. today shannon's coming back, i need to start my honors essays, maybe study for stats and german a little bit.
stats exam tomorrow at 2pm, i think ... i have it written down somewhere. Deutsche Prüfung dienstag um 12 Uhr. honors essays are due tuesday at 4pm. after 4, we're getting dinner i guess, then party at hunter's tuesday night. wednesday i have a meeting with my advisor, and jim and i are moving out of the dorm. thursday i need to go into adecco and do all my paperwork stuff for steelcase, and maybe a drug test, and shannon is moving out, and i'm going down to richland with her. marty's doing a play on friday, so i guess we're going to that. saturday shannon needs a ride up to muskegon, so we'll do that, and then i'm home for the next week or so. then work starts.
that's chris's tentative life ina nutshell at the moment. it helps me to get things out of my head and onto, erm, paper. and hopefully it helps those of you who are wondering what the hell i'm up to all the damn time.

Poor, neglected journal has had a (maybe temporary) makeover. Can't guarantee I'm going to be updating this very often, but I'll update occasionally.
Oh, and "Rent" is a good movie.

Ich heiße Super-fantastisch...
alrighty. band concert was last night. i really enjoyed it, and i thought it went well. my mallet parts were shaky, but no missed notes, and that was the important part. and i did a really good job on snare, i thought. i was pleased.
and talking with mom about stuff helped out a super lots. so that was good.
i need to find somebody to cover for my radio show on friday, since i'm going down to shannon's, and her mom is picking us up at 3:30.
k.
journal party at hunter's. jigga h007 h007?

eine neue eintragung
(copied from open diary)
Ja. Das heißt "a new entry" (in an account of something). Diese ist ein klein Teil von meine Lebe, ich denke, also das macht gut.
Sonntag ist Oster. Die Familie von Shannon hat mir für diesen Feiertag geeinladen. Das ist sehr gut. Aber, ich weiß nicht was meine Familie für Oster macht. Ach, so... OK, ich soll spreche Deutsch nicht mehr.
i'm getting better though, and that's reassuring. it's by far my best class, and the most interesting. and i seem to be progressing nicely. i'm excited about next year. although it seems to be quite the task to get a minor. i guess i would need 22 credits BEYOND 201, and i'm just not sure about that. hell, i don't even know if i can get that much for my major... ; )
band performance is tomorrow night. i got my suit and stuff all squared away. i'm so sharp when i'm dressed up. or at least i feel like it, which is really all that matters.
i bet shannon will be upset with me. she was over here a little bit ago, and i kept falling asleep. and now that she left, i'm up and awake. i didn't intend for it to go that way. i'm gonna go brush my teefers and hit the sack now.
