The Daily Grind...

We are about to start our third (and first full week of classes) … the past couple week have been shortened for holidays and whatnot. This semester seems to be starting out very slow. I have a job interview this Wednesday. I applied for another “on-campus” job in the BA. Tons of people apply for this job because it is one of the most flexible ones that is offered. So, around 100 people applied and they will fill about 20 spots. I probably have no chance in hell, but I will try anyway. I need a job pretty badly.

Nicole and I have been talking a lot more lately... She and Tim got engaged over winter break. They are having their wedding in August… the same month as Dub and Holly’s wedding. Blake and Stephanie got engaged around New Year’s… and Jared and Whitney are getting married sometime this summer. It is so weird to think that so many of my friends are approaching marriage. I mean, I think all of those couples will definitely be happy… I just cannot believe that part in our lives is almost here. I am in no way… shape… or form ready for something like that. Big props to them though.

Speaking of marriage… my parents are celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary in Hawaii next month. They are going for one week. I think that is pretty cool. I am proud of my folks.

I think I am gonna go home the first weekend in February to see my folks before they leave… and hang out with some friends from back home. I haven’t been back in the LBK that long, but I already am starting to miss Dallas a lot.

The second weekend in February a bunch of my friends and I are going to Ruidoso, NM to go skiing for the weekend. We are renting a cabin up there (as we did freshman year) and staying for the weekend. Needless to say… my next couple of weeks are going to be pretty darn busy.

until next time, keep it real!

BACK TO THE LBK!

SPRING SEMESTER 2006 STARTED TODAY!

It is weird to me that I have been here for 3 and a half years! Heather and I sat down the other day and went through a lot of her pictures and albums, and I had a blast just kicking back and rehashing freshman, sophomore, and junior years. It is not over yet though. I still have to bust my butt until I graduate.

The winter break was awesome! I had such a good time. Hollie and Elisha both had birthdays, and I got to hang out with Vanessa a lot. Nathan moved to Rockwall so we got to see each other and hang out a lot. Kelly is back from Europe! Grant came into town and we went to the bar. Actually, I went to the bar a lot over break! I saw shelly for about a minute. She graduated from A&M and I am so proud of her! She had a graduation lunch that Andrew and I attended. Lacy and Michael moved into a house in Dallas. Their house looks great, and I am really proud of them. I hung out with Jessica, Jason, and Jennifer over break too… and got to see Amanda for about a minute before she went back to San Marcos. I miss old mesquite friends.

Christmas was great. I had a good time hanging out with my family. It was very much needed. I received some good gifts for the holidays and gave a few too (which is always my favorite part). My grandma sold her house in Lewisville, so the holidays are going to be so different from now on.

New Year’s Eve was a blast. A ton of us went out to Gilley’s in Dallas to see Jack Ingram Play. We had dinner there and then proceeded to get wasted the rest of the night.

On the 2nd, Texas Tech played in the Cotton Bowl. My dad got us tickets, which was quite a surprise. Dad, My brother, Grant, and I went to the game. We lost, but I still had a great time.

I got back up here on the 8th. We had a BACK TO SCHOOL BASH over @ Heather and James’ place. It was fun. My classes so far seem okay. I hope so… I need to make the grades that I made last semester… that would make me proud.

See you cool kids around!
