Its been a while since I last got on here, and its becaused work got super busy. I speant the calendar month of December on a job in Texas. 28 nights at the Gainesville, Tx Holiday Inn made for a pretty nice set of rewards points, and a $2979 hotel bill.
Crazy.
Since June 1 the hotel nights are as followed: Holiday Inn-41, Marriot-21, Best Western-12, for a grand total of 73 hotel nights out of around (im not doing the math) a possible 175 nights. We did get to go home for Xmas and got done New Years Eve night around 9pm and drove back to Lafayette. I rang in NYE on the side of the road with a Texas State Trooper because our truck was dirty and he couldnt see our plates. I think it was an excuse to pull us over on NYE.
I finally got back out to the lacrosse field after being gone since before Thanksgiving and it came not a moment too soon. The team had its first scrimmage Jan 6 agains St. Thomas Moore HS, the Louisiana State Champs for 3 years running. I watched this team beat the University of Louisiana-Lafayette. Granted, UL-L is a first year team but you get the point. The varsity lost really badly but the JV only lost 2-5. Considering the entire team can play JV except for Seniors, I think they did well. The first game is tommorrow in Biloxi, MS so Im excited for them to get the season rolling. Hopefully I can make it to a few games.
I finally got to give my 6 month presentation at work-after I had been here 8 months. It is just a review of what you have learned so far, and what you need to work on. I think I did well enough, but because they are testing my knowledge every line of questioning always ended with me saying "I dont know". That never feels good even when they asked something they didnt expexct you to know.
I just turned 25 years old. It feels strange. Im now closer to 30 than I am to 20 and gettng closer every day. I didnt really do much for it. I went to Ttown to see friends and all, but a huge ice storm kept everybody in for most of the weekend. It was still a good trip, and I always look foward to going back. My Mom's Bday was on that Monday so I went home to visit and watch the BCS National Championship Game.
You know in Star Wars when at the end the good guys win and you feel great?
You know the next installment of the series when the bad guys win and you feel awful?
Thats what the 2009 and 2010 BCSNC games were for me. I hope Auburn is happy with selling their souls for this one. Newton and Fairley both decided to take pay cuts and enter the draft this year. I wonder who Auburn will sign in Free-Agency this year?
For the first time I am beginning on a major adult milestone. Im looking at buying a house. I feel like I can make a house payment for no more than my rent is now, plus i would be building equity. Its still a long way off as I have until May n my lease but if anybody has any tips I would be more than happy to hear them.
For now though its back to the grindstone. On sunday I head back to Texas for at least another week. The grind continues, being an adult.....
