Wil, I love you. I've been teaching myself piano as well, and that looks entertaining, certainly moreso than the piano teaching software I've been using lately...If you have a MIDI keyboard, you might be interested in Synthesia. I use it to work on my timings, since I'm apparently pretty awful at it.
Zelda songs are insanely difficult looking!

I've actually been waiting for a good MIDI keyboard deal on Craig's List, so I can use this program. It's "teach yourself piano" Hero!If you have a MIDI keyboard, you might be interested in Synthesia. I use it to work on my timings, since I'm apparently pretty awful at it.

I came into work early and have been using that time well -- not just getting an early start on my procrastinating.
Something seems to have clicked for me between yesterday afternoon and this morning. A simple, "Goddamn, but my job is rewarding. I want to be good at this stupid bullshit paperwork so I can keep doing the rewarding parts." And I magically have energy.
Hallefreakinglujah.

My unemployment is finally sorted out. It'll come in before I have to tap in to my vacation fund, and is more than enough to sustain myself until I find new work. I'm pumped.
[edit] I also got my tax form in the mail from my last job. Curious about the difference between the income and my "salary" (hourly rate converted to salary assuming 40 hour work weeks), I decided to figure out where the difference came from. Corrected to ignore my package upon leaving, the average number of hours worked per week for me was 51.5. If I correct for other abnormalities (the weeks I spent out of the country waiting for a phone call and getting my base 40/hr pay, time spent moving, etc), the average continues to go up. God, it's no wonder I was so fed up with that job. Not that I can't handle 50+ hour weeks, but for that to be the norm across the entire year, AND for there to be countless unaccounted for hours spent on the phone and expected to be on call all the time. It really is no wonder.
I'm so glad to be done there.
I just hope I can match that income somewhere a little less demanding.

1. I read every dine-LA restaurant week menu, didn't find much new to be excited about though. I already think I'd found the top menus
2. since I reserved the place a month ago I've now found the perfect dinner spot to go with. it will be a grand birthday.

I've been playing basketball once or twice a week at the gym lately for cardio instead of climbers, treadmills or tracks. It's a lot better workout, a mix of sprinting and jogging, side to side shuffling, trotting backwards, jumping, agility, etc. It's basically the perfect cardio for me after lifting. Anyways, I'm not all that great at it. I just never got into it until lately. I play good defense; I'm usually matched up against the opposing team's best scorer (I shut 'em DOWN!), but conversely, their worst defender typically guards me on the other end because I'm not a proficient scorer myself. Well today was just plain awesome. I hit some clutch 3's, handled the ball decently and in one game, at game-point, there was a loose ball on their end; I snatched it up and just as I turned their best player went for a steal - but I crossed him up and took it all the way for the game-winning layup. From the hooting and hollering I gathered that he must have gotten shook pretty good which gave me a great feeling. Personal triumph!

I have matured to the level where I am not insecure and self-conscious about wearing the glasses - that I've always thought I looked horrible in.
Now, to take a step further, I'm going to plan to wear my glasses not only when I need to see far away - but when walking anywhere in school.
(I mean, there's only so much of walking towards someone who's face I can't make out, thus I ignore them, who turns out to wave and be someone I know before I learn my lesson. And so many times I can hear "so you can't say hi to anyone anymore!?!?".
Time for a change!)

Today is February 1st and I am DONE with all my January notes. Done. Except one eval that I can get done in about 15 minutes when I get to work. Now I just have to stay caught up. Oh my gosh. Medical records is going to like me again. Yay. This is AWESOME. Totally worth staying up for last night. YAY. I can actually work on the stuff I'm behind on that matters now. Also, I stayed up with my timesheet this month.
WOW.
I really am pulling it together. Maybe they won't be sorry they hired me. I can do this.

So I applied for my first summer job about a month ago and they called me back! The only thing now is to get through the next few stages. Nonetheless, I'm happy getting this far considering I applied at TMMC. I'll keep updating.

Indeed; though it also serves as a great example to Stan Lee's immortal idiom, "with great power comes great responsibility" (which, in my case, would probably be to drive my younger brother and sister to places or to go grocery shopping).
Also, and not less important, is the freedom this finally brings to my bank account. Now I can concentrate on saving for that PS3, or for that new car =)

I think I found a bridesmaid dress style I actually maybe like.
(Bridesmaid dresses all look the same to me after about two minutes of looking. So that was a surprise. Even a tepid endorsement is major progress.)

I picked out a few dresses I liked, then took my bridesmaids to a store where they tried on those dresses and a bunch of others. I picked the colour and told them to agree on something they liked and would not object to wearing again. That way I didn't feel bad about asking them to spend oodles of money, because that was under their control, too. It turned out well.
