Woot, finally made it to China, almost didn’t make it because of the delays with my Philly flight going to DC.  Had to run through the terminals in Dulles to catch this flight.  Yucky cause now I’m all sweaty.

My flight to Guangzhou was overbooked in economy so now I’m in business class, yipee!  I get access to the first class/business lounge.  Which I only found because I was looking to charge my China sim card, almost glad it expired because I would have been sitting regular waiting area with no power or internet for my laptop.  Haha..

China time 4:09 PM.

Tuition per semester is not $7k, but $7k for the year… I should of realized that, been going there for 3 years! So tuition for the fall semester is actually $3670 then there are the miscellaneous fees totaling the bill to $4075. A little more bearable, but I’m been a retard lately and have lost a $1k a year scholarship. That $500 would have helped, that’s 12% off right there! But nope, I just had to fail some classes and lose that. Not to mention I keep putting off mailing in some stuff for my Horatio Alger scholarship, now I don’t even know if I’ll be getting the $625 from that. I don’t know what my deal is lately, but with a few hundred bucks at stake, you would think I would be more adamant in following up with things….

Anyways, less than 2 weeks to go till vacation time! Starting today, I’m working the overnight shift at work. I’m a complete sell out, I gave up sunlight for a 15% shift differential. Shame on me….

I went fishing last Thursday off of Rt.9, I only caught one actual fish, a really light color catfish. My mom caught a bunch more than me. However, I spent a good majority of the time crabbing, I caught tons of crabs, so many that my right hand still hurts from scooping them all up. I even “caught” a snapping turtle, I pulled on my line thinking I had a super big crab, turned out it was the turtle and it swam off with my crab bait(shad)! Heh, I wonder if there is a turtle shitting out a long piece of string now…. My dad managed to somehow catch 4 carp, right in the spot I spent probably 2-3 hours in and only got the one catfish!

My brother shipped off for basic on the 5^th, now he is in basic at Fort Knox in Kentucky.

And the paper that nearly killed me to write, professor gave me an A-! I wouldn’t have given myself an A- for sure, but all that work finally feels worthwhile now. I was totally expecting a C or lower on the paper.

Well, that’s all there is to say.

Yay, $7,340 is the fall semester tuition…  Hmm, I really gotta get on that budget planning thing because I don’t even have 7 grand now!  I certainly am not going to have it after my vacation either….

 Anyways, vacation in 24 days!

I think I already wrote about something like this before, but I seriously can’t remember, getting so old that I’m losing my mind/memory. I feel like  a 50 year old these days, but I’m still not even 21 yet!

I’ve gotten into this really bad “round” shape that just makes me sick, but not enough to motivate me to do stuff to not be round. And it sucks to sit at work for hours on end, I can literally feel my butt getting bigger. Plus I have to sit at work so much that it actually hurts my butt!

Alright, to much about my big fat butt :(. Back to being old… I left work the other day, just half way through my shift because I was so fucking exhausted that I was about to just fall asleep right then and there. I could barely drive myself home. So what might have been the cause the “exhaustion”? Did I drive 18 hours? Nope. Did I spend all night fishing? Nope. Did I do some other physically demanding activity? Nope. I was fucking exhausted from writing a 25 page paper for class! And the sad part is, I didn’t even write 25 pages, not even close, more like 13 pages, if that.

Don’t get me wrong, the paper starts off damn good, but then once we get into the last section and the meat of the paper, it starts to disintegrate completely! I’m going to be honest and admit I definitely planned poorly for the paper, but the professor devoted over 5 pages in the syllabus in describing the paper! I had glanced over it prior to writing, but never took in just how much stuff he wanted. And it wasn’t even like he wanted that much stuff, but he wanted the same stuff over and over. I had to pick something, then rationalize why I picked it, then I basically had to rationalize it again in how might certain aspects increase or decrease my target market’s demand or my firm’s supply. Like wtf? They need my product, so my firm is going to make it, there isn’t much else to it! Then get this, I had to rationalize once more according to my firm’s ability and willingness to product and market said product. There really isn’t all that much to say at this point that I haven’t said before in the paper, I mean it’s basically they pay me, so I make it, as long as they pay me more than it cost me to make it, I will make it!

I suppose if I had started writing this paper 2 weeks ago, I could of somehow expanded “they need it, they want it and I shall make it” into 25 pages, but in just 2 days was a bad idea.. Not to mention I was late in turning my paper in, so I’m going to be the last paper graded, and by that time he’ll have probably read some decent papers and be like WTF shit is this :(. And yet somehow the sucky paper drained me, so freaking sad…

Oh and ever since I twisted my ankle last winter, it starts to act up whenever it’s about to rain, the humidity and stuff makes it hurt. That is seriously an old people trait, 20 year olds aren’t suppose to do that! I almost want to get some kind of replacement from a 20 year cadaver, which doesn’t even sound right at all….

Man, oh man, how the frick am I going to handle a month overseas? I bet my grandma will be more youthful than I am….
