observations from a nobody

Now most summers I have had had gone by quickly. This one on the other hand has gone so fucking slow lately. Now that isn’t really a problem, except for the fact that I haven’t done jack shit. I have only gone out and done something on two of the days so far. The rest have been non-stop work. That doesn’t get any better either as my schedule prepares for other’s vacations which means tons of extra shifts for me to cover. Coming up in a few weeks I get one day off and work six in a row. Four nights and two mornings. I might just die.

On the other hand I got my vacation time approved. I’ll have July 4th through July 8th off. Five days which I  plan to do something fun. Maybe a trip or something. Still trying to figure it out. I just want to go hang with people and forget about work. My days off are few and far between and this vacation will help me return to sanity.

Lastly, my new debit card is way sexier than the old one. Well aside from the fact I had to change my subscription info for everything with the new number. That sucked.

Today was the first day of my 2009 Summer Vacation Spectacular (go ahead, steal it, I know it is awesome). I woke up when I felt like it (which happened to be the usual) and chilled in bed for a bit. After crawling out of bed I figured I should get my ass back down to the school (and for once not for class) to get rid of the stupid books. From the original $200 I spent on books, I ended up getting $70 back. Lame.

Anyway, I get back home and screw around. Playing games, watching television, and IMing people. At 5 I headed out with my brother and saw Terminator Salvation. It was…fucking sweet. Terminators fucking shit up. What is there not to like? I mean you could hate it but then you would be a machine. Fucking machines.

Now I am just hanging out in my room, television on and browsing the net. Tomorrow I have to work at 4 which is normal. Not sure what I am going to do before work but whatever. What I am looking forward to is Saturday when a few of us from the photography class (that would be the film one) are getting together and party it up. Should be a wild time.

And that’s that.

Today is the day.

Classes are coming to an end. Just when it starts to get good and everyone feels like family. Then again it is a blessing. No more homework. No more tests. Now all that lays ahead is summer.

I really have no plans for summer, other than work and that’s about as fun as nailing myself to a wrecking ball and smashing myself into a wall. I still haven’t scheduled my vacation, mainly because I have no clue if anyone wants to do something cool for a week. If I don’t do that by May 31st the boss will plan it for me and space it out horribly. So the countdown begins for that.

These last few paychecks I have been saving up anything over my OCD mark ($400) and even though I originally wanted to get a new laptop (which went from Macbook to a HP), I am now saving up to move out of my parent’s house. I have looked locally and found a nice place for about $1400/month but I am a bit tired of Vacaville and Northern California in general. It’s plain and boring since I have lived the same place almost all my life. I need something new. I’ve maintained the idea of moving to a few different locations for a while now. I really think it would be cool to move to one of these places: Seattle, Portland, London, or Berlin. Something vastly different from the small town feel I suffer now. I’m sure I have lots of saving to do and some planning.

As for planning I still have no clue what I want to do in life. I’m stuck. I am sick of the usual classes like English, math, and science. Fuck that shit. I have been doing it most of my life and it is boring unless I actually feel like learning it. Computers, which I once thought I wanted to do, have sort of mellowed out. I am not sure if I still want to go through with IT or A+. Photography is a bright point but I’m not sure how I would get a good start. Depending on what happens during summer I might be in a few classes next semester to get more in depth. I guess summer will help since I will have time to sit back and think about what path I am going to take in life.

Time will tell. Sooner or later, time will tell.
