The Day After Tomorrow...tick...tock...tick

And if my life was a television show, this is what I would entitle it, because the Day after Tomorrow, is when everything starts. Okay so we're going to look back on 2006 in review. So the beginning of this year was interesting with me taking a big ass hiatus at home by spending three months (God, how did I ever survive?) at home getting prepared to do something outrageous, and go to Germany for six months away from everything and everyone I know. So I came, I went, and I conquered that shit from Berlin to Basel, and all in between and it was awesome. I had a fabulous time and it was marvelous...until I returned that was. After a brief stint at home for a week and a half, I went back to Pembroke where I discovered that my problems with Germany were just getting started and that it was going to be worth about as much trouble as it was getting there and back. And in the middle of dealing with that, I lost one of my greatest assests, as Professor Travis Stockley died the third week of August (and yet a tear is still coming to my eye to think about it) in a massive car crash, and a week later, and old high school buddy died too (Kane, we all miss you). And then after that I tried to pledge to take my mind off of that and ended up landing on my ass, looking a damn fool, to which brought me to a state of depression for awhile, and while I sought professional help, I discovered that I could transfer schools and maintain everything I've worked for. And after getting through a semester of near hell with these damn classes, I got out much better than I expected to... so with ALL of that, I feel like this is a very appropriate way to end my year and so it's with that that I am going to fly all the way to San Francisco Friday morning at 6:30 in the morning, meet up with Zana, have a blast there, drive with her to Las Vegas and bring in the New Year with a bang, then drive to Oregon and relish in the Rocky Mountains before returning to North Carolina for another semester (and my last) at UNC-Pembroke. Now all I have to do is wait......tick, tock, tick, tock....

And the Semester Burns Brightly as Fire & Ice Mixes It Up!!

Well then. I guess the old addage is true. All things have a way of coming back around then. What started out as a rough and shaky start has actually turned out to be a pretty good deal for me. Turns out that on Tuesday VR actually came through and paid the bills here at school. Leaving a balance of 2,000 that goes straight to my pocket. With that I can FINALLY pay off Germany once and for all, go to San Fransisco to meet Zana for New Years and even give my mom 1,000 to put in my account somewhere. So yeah perhaps all of this will disappear really soon.

In other news, the Fire and Ice Pageant was Wednesday and it was really interesting. As far as the show goes, it was awesome but my only complaint was that it lagged terribly due to lack of practice without the DJ etc. So yeah it was really interesting. But it actually ended in a tie at the end of the evening with Britney Melvin and Jessica Browning taking the top prizes. So overall a good night. And $150.00 price tag for me. I finished out my classes and so now I'm just waiting for exam week, and for that fat ass check to come...
