Life restarted!

I've just moved into a house in the Rosemont area of Sacramento. After 6 years in Chico, it was time to get the hell out of town. So, now I'm here after having been accepted to Sacramento State in the Photography program. I'm really quite excited about it.

I live with a guy that was my first roomate in college, and another guy who was a good friend of ours, who I've never lived with. They both work full time, which makes me bored during the day when I've got nothing to do, like now. Winter break both sucks and is awesome at the same time.

Anyway, I'm looking foreward to getting things going again socially, because its a new place with new people. My roomate has been living here for about six months, and he knows some people, which is cool because I don't have to start completely from scratch.

Well, Darcy the dog is going crazy so I have to find the lazer pointer and drive her nuts for about an hour.

edit: I just changed my alias from SBO033 to Short, which is my actualy name, and what everybody calls me. I have no idea why I didn't just make it short in the first place. I hope nobody is confused by this.

over before it began, you say? i did not know you were in a rush!

Hmm now what...

Well, insurance man came though and hooked it up for the stolen goods (yay), which replaced my camera and computer. The only things I really lost were some good pictures and all my homework for the year, which spurred the prompt purchace of a .Mac account.

Everything is backed up now.

I hope whoever stole it turns in one of my essays and gets kicked out of school for plagearism.

So now, I'm spending every weekend in Sacramento looking for a place to live with my friend who already lives down here, but got semi-booted from his house by this other (lame) friend of ours. Anyway, househunting sucks. Its quite a bit more expensive to live here than in Chico, plus the retartedly large pet deposit (homeboy has a dog) that most places want us to pay.

Hopefully I'll have a place to live soon. School starts in feb. and I'd really like to have a place before that happens.

jeez i'm full of bad luck these days.

my apartment got burgled once again. i have no idea how these guys got in, there was nothing broken or jimmied that i could tell.

they stole my laptop again. this time they nabbed my digital camera, and my roomate's as well.

at least i had renters insurance this time around, though it remains to be seen weather they're gonna cover my stuff because the break in may or may not have been 'forced entry'.

Notes taken during GE anthropology on Friday.

This class makes me want to punch myself in the face. I understand that it is an extremely low-level GE course, but that most certainly should not turn it into a seventh grade writing comp class.

I'm in college. Do I really need a handout on how to write a five-paragraph essay?

The answer, in case you wondered, is no.

I feel horribly bad for any of my fellow students sitting here who has trouble, at the age of 18, 19, or even 20, grasping the concept of writing a college level essay.

Actually, that's not true. You are an idiot, my friend, if you somehow graduated high school without paying enough attention to figure out how a paragraph works. Your college career is already over, so I'll take that tall iced coffee black, thanks.

The fact that I've been given over a month to write THREE PAGES. That, my friends, is disgusting. This is what I get for procrastinating.

So, this handout has five bullet points. I've been sitting here (reading The Poet, because this lecture blows) for twenty minutes, and we've just made it to point three. I'm happy to report that I've just learned that DOING RESEARCH will REVEAL FACTS about a given subject. Shocking.

oh yes, its that time of year again.

school starts tomorrow morning, so i went across the street to walgreens to buy all the fun stuff one needs to succeed, namely, a clicky pencil and 4 big-ass notebooks. i take lots of notes.

i'm not super happy about nine am classes, but what are ya gonna do.

anyhow, i hope my classes don't suck too much, but i'm taking photography and an eastern religion survay just for kicks, so that should lighten it up a bit.

wish me luck!

somebody at work the other day saw my back piece and asked me if i was 'spiritual'.

i told her that i was raised catholic, which pretty much destroyed my faith in organized religion.

got me thinking though. about what people consider symbols of spirituality. i never considered my piece to be particularly spiritual, spirituality has nothing to do with why i have it.

i have another piece for that.

but what concerned me more was my reply to her question. the answer i gave seems to be typical for many of the people i know who were raised catholic. i hadn't really thought about it until it came out of my mouth.

wierd.

i've been spending entirely too much time playing everquest 2. its fun tho.

my toon is the second ranked swashbuckler on the new pvp server, which is awesome because i yell things like 'yarrrrr' and 'show me yer booty' all day whilst i kill people.

i haven't really got anything else to do except work, until school starts that is. then i'll have to study and not play videogames all day.

anyway, anybody on nagafen on the good side look me up, Doobers Mc'Noobers.

if you're fp come 1v1 me i need your fame =P

its fun to do stuff that is stupid
