Online Journal
February 15, 2003
I started my first week as Operations Assistant for WQUB. It's almost everything I thought it would be, so that's good. It'll be even better if it leads to a full-time job eventually, but I can't worry about that right now.
Also Sheila and I had a talk about something that had been bothering her lately. We worked everything out, and agreed that - just this once - we'd celebrate Valentine's Day this year. So I had plans that required me to get up extra early on Friday to prepare, and of course my stinkin' alarm didn't go off. So we'll try to celebrate on Monday when QU has no classes because of President's Day.
And on a more serious note, I've also been helping a friend through a tough time she's been going through over the past couple weeks. She's being able to cope with an unfortunate situation better, slowly but surely, and we hope everything will work out for the best. More updates next week, I'm sure.

My promise to update this site weekly has held true for the second week in a row. Cool!
On Monday, I'll start my new WQUB schedule of working 18 hours a week, which will undoubtedly provide me with new experiences and opportunities, hopefully some that will lead me to a full-time job in May. But we'll have to see.
Read my commentary for more on what's gone down this past week, especially regarding relationships.

Holy crap! Has it been THIS long since I've updated this site? Does anyone still read this anymore? Well, I suppose Jaimie does, since he's the one who reminded me about it.
A lot has happened in the last few months, but nothing terribly exciting, which very quickly brings us up to date. Amazing! And this is my final semester at QU, so I'm beginning the laborious job search process, and once that's completed I can find somewhere to live. Independence can be good, but a little nerve-wracking too, I suppose. My classes shouldn't be too much of a problem this semester, especially considering the only "class" I have on Monday, Wednesday and Friday is band. It's wonderful, and it feels like I'm constantly on vacation.
Much to my disbelief and dismay, I got sick last week! I never get sick! I'm still getting over it now actually... it's just a cold to be honest, but when you never get sick, even the slightest ailment feels like the end of the world. And it did cause me to lose my voice completely for a couple days, which meant my radio show was impossible to host last week. Thanks to Sheila for voicing the show while I produced it. It's REALLY hard for me not to talk, as all of my friends probably know all too well.
So we're fairly caught up now, and I'll try to update this site more often in the future, but I've got a Game Boy Advance now, and I am playing that rather frequently...

It's amazingly difficult to update my website, when I'm sitting here at work watching Blue's Clues. Because I would never watch the show out of my free will, it is captivating in a strange, uncomfortable way.
Well, my schoolwork is certainly starting to pile up, although I have done pretty well on recent tests that I've taken. It's my senior year, and there's only 33 more weeks till graduation, I think. I'll have to ask Carmen for sure.
Sheila's pretty much been sick all week, so there's nothing new there, but I think she's gotten better now, which is good considering she has to be on duty plus do three shifts at the radio station this week.
I've got a band concert to play in tomorrow... and I know I'll be dog tired by the time it's over, but luckily there's no band rehearsal on Monday. I guess we all need a day off at one point or another.
Oh my God! I think I've just solved Blue's Clues. Now I'll be able to sleep today.

Maybe it's just me, but this past week has been more eventful than most. Maybe it's because I had to get up everyday at 4:15AM to go to work, maybe it's because I'm actually starting to do my homework, or maybe because the amount of gossip people have been telling me is increasing. I don't suppose there's any way I'll ever to really be able to get out of the loop?
Casino Night was last night. I spent part of the night with Sheila, watching her gamble all of my money away and then somehow win it back, and I spent the rest of it with Mary who was too shy to actually go gamble herself. Whatever, none of us ending up winning any of the main prizes. I thought Sheila was going to cry when the DVD player went to someone else. But then we out to eat - breakfast food at 12:30, and had fun.

It's been a fairly exhausting week again. But I found out my friend Mary is "out of the loop" in terms of finding out gossip from around campus. She described the loop to me as a sort of figure 8, yet she seems to get stuck on one half, never experiencing the entire loop. Philosophical enough? But I told her that she can take my side of the figure 8, since I often travel around the opposite side. So maybe now she'll receive ALL the gossip, and I won't receive any. Fat chance.
Sheila and I rented He-Man, Rainbow Brite and The Bernstein Bears a couple nights ago. To think that I actually enjoyed those shows! Ah... it was good to see them again though; they brought back a lot of memories, and it was free to rent them.

About Sheila
Sheila McCrea and I have been going out for a little over 15 months now. It doesn't seem like that long ago I asked her out, and she said "Yes!" After she made me wait a week and a half for that answer. But at least she made the right choice. Her favorite color is black, she's infatuated with John Travolta, she hates John Denver, she's afraid of hair, thinks feet are gross, loves to poke my "smile button" on my cheeks, always enjoys a good joke, always groans at the ones I tell, has a habit of staying up late, and then sleeping through lunch even though she knows I'll be there. She knows that she can talk to me about anything, and knows that she can cry at the Olive Garden restaurant when she's tired and I make her laugh too much. I love her very, very much, because she's always there when I need her to be, and even when it seems like fate is trying to pull us apart, she never gives up. She's my girl!
