Tooting My Own Horn

Posted on December 19, 2007 by under Flickr, School.    

By the way, I got all As in my three classes this sem. Go me! That bumps me up to a 3.9 — woo hoo!

I wish I didn’t get a B in DS. I’d have a nice, even 4.0 right now. Ugh.

Hooding

Anyway, we were able to witness Mo’s hooding on Sunday. It was pretty neat. Erin preceeded Mo in the procession so I got picture of her also. Brent followd Mo. You can actually see both of them in this picture.

I can’t wait until it is my turn to get hooded! One more semester to go!

Just Testing: Flock and Del.icio.us

Posted on December 15, 2007 by under Web.    

I recently downloaded Flock because I was having problems with my Internet Explorer.  I figured now would be the perfect time to try it.  Flock is supposed to be way better.  It’s not bad actually.  I like the “people” and “media streams” features.  So far those are the only two features that I’ve really tried.

I’m trying the blogging function now.  I guess we’ll find out how well this works soon enough.  In about two seconds actually, when I post this test entry.  🙂

Blogged with Flock

P.S. In addition to testing Flock, I’m also trying out Del.icio.us. I’d signed up for it before but then never used it. This time I’m going to make an effort to actually use it.

Here’s my link roll:


And my tag cloud:

P.P.S. I want a Pleo!

I tried to post this video on Dad’s blog but it wouldn’t work. Check it out! It’s better than the RoboDog!

Bad Credit Blues!

Posted on December 14, 2007 by under Sponsored Post.    

Getting into debt is probably one of the worst things that can happen to someone. Trust me I know. I was up to my eyeballs once in debt, over $30,000.00 between 10 credit cards and then a house and car payment on top of that. It was a miracle that i did not get in to trouble and get a bad credit rating. However, some of my friends were not so lucky. I watched friend after friend keep spending, getting more and more credit cards then file for bankruptcy because they could not keep up with the payments. Now several years later my friends are recovered from there credit angst and are trying to build new lives with family’s and loved one’s. Except they have this bad credit looming over there heads like a storm cloud! One of my friends said that he found a place that let him shop for companies that would give him the credit he needed regardless of his past history. He said that they provide bad credit loans for just about anyone. He was excited because he was able to get out of this small apartment that he was in and got into a nice house house with the help of this place. he said they had links for all the major credit companies and he could look and compare all without having to go from link to link or having multiple windows open. If you are having a problem with your credit and want to get back on track this sounds like the way to go! I think I will tell my other friends that they need to look into this site as well.

Brian’s Big Week

Posted on December 13, 2007 by under Life.    

Brian had been whining of late about how he hasn’t been hearing back from companies. His contract with LSI is up in June so he’s looking for a new job. He said he’d been applying for various jobs left and right, and nothing.

Well, guess what. He has three interviews this week! Go, Brian!

He is interviewing for a job at Koch on Monday, followed by Westar on Tuesday, and then Emprise Bank on Friday. I am so very excited for him. By the end of the week, he will be an expert at interviewing — something he is already good at now.

Things are looking up! Merry Christmas to us!!

Not Off the Hook Yet

Posted on December 10, 2007 by under Life, Movies, School.    

I was really looking forward to today. Today was the day that I would finally be free from school. At least for this semester. Bad weather had to ruin my plans.

WSU shut down at 5p today. That meant postponing final exams originally scheduled for tonight until next Monday, December 17. That meant one more week of class before I am officially off the hook this sem.

The nice thing about not having to take my Marketing Management final until next Monday is that I will have the weekend to study. The bad thing is that studying is probably all I’ll be doing. I hope Thim doesn’t cancel his post-sem celebration. I was really looking forward to checking out his new house.

Anyway, since I didn’t have to go class I got to stay home and watch TV. Too bad there is no more Heroes. 🙁 The one night that I am actually home to watch it (instead of having to watch it on DVR), there is no Heroes. Brian had to remind me that we watched the final episode of the season last week.

Thank God for OnDemand! Brian browsed through several movies before settling on The Last Kiss. It’s a pretty good movie. Per usual, it made me cry. I only gave it three stars, though. I can’t believe that Eli gave it five stars. I probably would’ve rated it better if it was more realistic. Maybe it was realistic. I don’t know because you really don’t know how it ends.

I think they should split up. That’s the only logical thing for them to do. I can’t picture them staying together after what had happened. If they split up, then I’m giving it one more star. If they stay together, it stays as a three. LOL. I have a lot more to say about the movie/story but I’ll keep my mouth shut.
