So, it's been a little while

The major problem with owning a Wii is now my free time is more like Frii time, and while super fun, it's sucking up my time for being productive, and more importantly, blogging.

A lot's gone down over the past while. I'm going to go backwards, because that's the way i remember it.

I just got back from Pirates of the Caribbean, which is a really great movie. It makes the 2nd movie worth watching, although still inexcusably bad. It was nice to finally hang out with johnny a bit, since i haven't in a while, hopefully there'll be some of that tomorrow.

Since my last post i've pretty much finished high school. It's insane. I got my cap and gown on Tuesday. All that remains is a hefty calculator fine, since the one i borrowed and the really awesome ti-89 i won both got stolen out of my backpack. So that made me pretty upset. Add that to the tab of stuff that morally lacking people owe me along with yu-gi-oh cards, a trogdor shirt, and a bike, all stolen on jackson public school property. So glad that's the last time that'll happen.

I've had some nice hanging out and saying goodbye with the cool teachers that i like, mr. jones, mrs. williams, mrs. polanski, unfortunately i haven't really gotten to do the whole goodbye thing for ms brierly or mrs van uden, but i'll get to that hopefully. It's really weird to think that this is the last time i'm going to be seeing a lot of people.

I've mostly been working lately. I really like my job, and my job really likes me. It sounds kinda self centered, but i like this job a lot because i'm much more appreciated than i was at backyard burgers. 2/3 of my managers liked me there, but Andrew, Joe, and Jeff are all very good at complementing good work. It's cool. I wish i could keep working here and live in Salt Lake.

Wow. I'm going to be living in salt lake in less than two months. I still haven't quite gotten a handle on this whole college thing. I've applied for housing, picked roommates (which was really hard) and scheduled some orientation. I fly out of mississippi on the 14, and i'm gone. insane.

I've also been playing Zelda a lot. Like really a lot, i've had it for less than a week and i've played it over 30 hours i think. But c'est la vie and all that.

I finished up all my AP exams, and i expect to do at least very decent. I'm hoping for 5's on the english and math exams, but i have a hard time knowing. The gov i'll shoot for a 3, a four if i'm lucky, and i'd be more than happy to have a 3 for euro.

I've been noticing how much working at Sal and Mookie's has reworked the way i think. I now have a few weird compulsions, like stabbing tickets, and taking dirty plates. I very naturally carried three plates at a pot-luck, and when i handed someone a drink i came very very close to saying, "you enjoy that sir" in my sort of cheesily sincere kindness i've been developing. I also hold the door open for people and say hi or ask them how their doing on the street. Sal and Mookies has done more to instill southern hospitality in a month than the south has in 14 years.

It's also kinda weird to think that i'll be leaving the south. As much as i've tried to avoid it, this is very much where i'm from. I get a bit defensive when people from outside the south talk about it, or just are ignorant. I am ready to go though. Even though i doubt college will be the holy grail of coolness, success, and awesome that i'm hoping for, i'm hoping the mayor won't be completely insane and the bureaucracy completely useless. But i wax political.

That's all that comes to mind as far as news and such. i had my seminary graduation a little bit ago, so that's cool. In one week i will be a high school graduate. go figure.
