I Got a New Phone!!!!!

Finally!!!! I have had the same phone for over three years, the same one that originally came with the plan. I finally got a new one and switched over to Verizon and I absolutely love it. It's the LG Voyager. It has a touch screen on the front and then flips open for a ginormous qwerty keyboard and a pretty good sized screen. I'm pumped and it's a much better texting plan so i'll be doin that significantly more.

GO SOX!!!!

Once again, the Boston Red Sox are going to the playoffs!! They clinched their spot last night beating the Indians 5-4... And I was there!! :) It was an amazing game to be at. Even tho I just happened to walk out to the bathroom right before Youk decided to hit a 2 run shot, but that's ok. I was still able to see everything else, and the excitement and energy in the park was just astonishing. And when Paps got to that bullpen gate, man the place was just erupting. I can't wait to see them in October take away another ring.

I always have a problem thinking about how to start these blogs. Luckily at least for this one that was a pretty good start, but i'll work on that for the future. I broke in my brand new poker table last night. I won it on a scratch ticket, along with a nice set of chips. It was a very very good first game. I won $100. :) By far the biggest winner of the group, so that was nice cause I was getting low on cash due to my check only being for one day this week. My stupid boss gave me too much last check so he fixed it this time. Hopefully I have a work study check waiting for me too.

I'm startin to get into some serious thought about what I want to do after college. The main idea of those thoughts is.... I HAVE NO IDEA!!!!!! I'm really conflicted about whether to choose accounting or finance as my profession. It seems like finance would be less of a same crap every day kind of job, but then again i'm good at accounting and it has really good job security, so I'm just conflicted. I'm talking to as many teachers as I can to get different points of view so I'm sure I'll ne ok by the time I start looking for jobs. Til then I'll just learn as much as I can about each of em so I'm all set either way.

I'll get back to watching Die Hard now, one of the best movies ever made. Luckily I don't have to get up early tomorrow morning so I can stay up and watch it all. :)

Early

So I got up this morning and went to work, only to find out that I wasn't actually supposed to work today. My boss told me I was a couple days ago but apparently the other guys that were supposed to work with me decided not to. So here I am 4 hours later and completely lost lol. I haven't been up this side of noon on a Saturday except for work in a looooong time. Of course at the moment I'm playin a tournament online. When that's over I'll probably hit the books a little. I mean literally hit them, like punch them with all the force i can summon. Obviously kidding but school is definitely a stress factor lately. I worked a couple nights last week as well, and I think i'm doing the same this week, so it's been busy, but I don't really think it's hindering me too much at this point.

One good thing is I started a car pool with a couple girls from school so I'll only have to drive a couple times a week, which will help a lot since I'm driving to work too and stupid Hurricane Ike is messing with the oil prices. I saw some footage on CNN this morning of Texas and I was shocked. All these huge storms lately are causing such havoc. The poor news guy was like blowing away. I felt bad cuz I was complaining about it drizzling the other day lol but it makes me actually happy to live in the New England area, where it may be impossible to know what the weather will be on any given day, but at least we don't get anything too big like that.

Well I guess I'll get back to my tournament. I'm doin pretty good so hopefully i'll make it to the money. Sadly enough I have to report in my blog again that I'm watching the Hills right now. Whatever it's a good show don't judge me. :) I'm sure everyone will be proud that I blogged again so soon so maybe i'll even keep it up. Til then peace and chicken grease.

Long Time No Blog

I feel like I start every blog off like this but sorry I haven't blogged in a while. I can't believe the summer is already over and I'm back in school. Working 6 days a week must have made the time fly. Other than work I basically relaxed and hung out with friends and the girlfriend. A couple of unsuccessful trips to Foxwoods kinda put a damper on the summer but they were still fun. Wow that pretty much sums up my summer in a pathetically short manner. lol

As for school, this semester I am completely screwed. So far all of my teachers have told me that I am going to have to put a lot of time into their course. Multiply that by 5 and you get no time for Mikey. Add in work study and the two days a week I'll be painting and, well you see where I'm going. I honestly think it'll actually be good for me. If I can stay away from the TV this can really help my procrastination issues and I won't have to depend on acing all my finals to pass my classes. I'm also starting to get into the real topics that'll make my future career easier, which is another thing I'm gonna have to start worrying about. Come October, a lot of companies are going to start coming to UMass Lowell looking for students that need a job getting out of college. Since this is my last year, that would include me. That's a scary thought that I've been thinking about for a while. Pretty soon, I am going to be done with my school career, other than MBA and such. It's weird to think that I will no longer be walking the halls, sayin hey to all my friends, eatin lunch with them, crackin jokes in the classroom. It's kinda sad to imagine myself not in that environment. I'll miss it but it'll be good to start that new life, with hopefully significant amounts of money.

As for other topics, I have been watching the show Entourage online and i am absolutely hooked. Every chance I get I'm watching another episode. It is funny and witty and makes me want to get really rich really fast and live the high life. Maybe some day ;)

Well I'm off to watch more and I'll probably start breakin into the textbooks. I got painting nice and early tomorrow so it won't be too much. And for all of those complaining about me not blogging enough, I can only give an empty promise that i will try to blog more. Thanks.
