Part Deus
The Summer of Timbly has begun. I am now home safe and sound from a long arduous trip back from college. It is good to be back with my parents and yes, even my little sister. The dial-up ISP torture that I will be subjected to for the rest of the summer is not so great. I am more than ready to sit back and bask is the slow pace and lack of hurry that comes with the summer months. The two semesters I spent at college seem like such a long time because of the huge number of things that happened. At the same time the past 8+ months have really flown by. I just held on for dear life as I was swept like a twig in white water rapids through my first year of college.
I already touched on a lot of the things that impacted me throughout the year, but it has come to my attention that I neglected a few major things. Besides the 17 credit hours I was enrolled for my first semester I also had a very nice job on campus. The university’s IT computer helpdesk seemed like the perfect fit for me. I can honestly say that I have endured the rigors of technical support both via phone and in person service. Actually, despite what most people in the IT industry say about tech support, I really enjoyed it. It was a great job for me, filling in my few spare hours in the week with something that I really enjoy and have at least a small modicum of knowledge in. I made some good friends working at the help-desk. One of which happened to be ‘kinda’ my boss.
Some of the things that I am planning for the summer include trying to get rid of the freshman ~15. So, no more pop, this means no more Mountain Dew. Yes, I know. I never thought that I would utter those words either. To avoid the calories and maintain my addiction to caffeine I have taken to drinking Iced tea. Mmmmm…. Tasty!
Another thing coming soon to me, is presence of some considerable back pain because my favorite orange office chair is staying at college in storage. My poor little civic couldn’t quite handle it. This office chair was ‘acquired’ from the news station where I will work for at least part of the summer.
I am totally looking forward to the rest of this summer, I plan on spending a little time with my parents, a little time making some money for next years tuition, and a whole lotta time with my girlfriend. That is another one of the developments this year that is hugely important to me. I have known her for quite a while and have been building up to a serious relationship since last summer. I am at a loss for words when I try to express how wonderful she is and what being with her means to me. This summer will be simply awesome.
Catch ya on the flip side yo! Watch out for the po-po.
