Work

I started my new job this week.  Monday to be exact.  Well Tuesday if you want to be technical.  I had orientation on Monday but we didn't do anything...  Whatever.  I started yesterday (Tuesday).

My job is simple.  Put shit in boxes.  You might be asking yourself, "But Matt, isn't that the exact job you had last year that you hated so much that you said you'd never go back there to work?"  You'd be partially right.  Now, I have to put bigger shit in bigger boxes and don't have a headset with Ronda in it to tell me where to put the shit.  It's actually a lot freer (that's a really strange word) job than I had last year.  Other than that I haven't been doing much of anything.  Hopefully this weekend's eventful or I have some epiphany that lets me write in my other blog because I've kind of been neglecting it lately.  I plan on playing Frisbee Friday but other than that I'm pretty open.  We'll see though...

I'll take a 4th of Freedom, Please

This blog's taken a different turn.  I'm going to keep trying to update as much as possible to keep updated but it's gonna start getting kind of boring since I'm settling down for the summer now.

Starting next week, I'll be working Monday-Thursday from 4-10 in the afternoon/evening/night.  Hopefully that doesn't kill my social life the rest of the summer.  On to today though.

I finished my book.  Sorry.  That's out of order but I'm excited about it.  The Hunger Games.  Great read.  I finished the almost 400 page book in two days.  Crazy.  I was up till 4:30 last night and finished about an hour ago tonight.  I'm so excited to get my hands on books two and three though.  The story is amazing and I encourage anyone willing to put some time aside for a good read to dive headlong into the story of Panem.

Ok.  Backing up to earlier today.  Today was supposed to be busy.  We were supposed to strip wallpaper in the kitchen.  I made sure THAT didn't happen.  Slept off and on most of the day.  People came and went throughout the day and I was surprised by Cody Adler showing up in my house when I woke up one time.  Other than that?  Went to the river to meet up with some Teenpower people for the fireworks show then went to Sammi's house and swam a little with a slightly smaller group.

I'm very glad today was what it was even though it was uneventful.  Not many more of these left this summer. Gonna have to relish the rest of this week...

Crazy, Mixed-Up Life

My plans change more than a girl trying on clothes!  I'm back in Evansville for the rest of the summer, working on my research, working for money at maybe two jobs, and getting my ass in gear on my training which I've been slacking hardcore on this summer.  It's so hard to get back into training after being injured and out of it for as long as I was.  And even though I've got my initial injury fixed, I'm beginning to have other things pop up as I try to get back to running.  The biggest issue is that my orthodics are pinching the hell out of my foot.  Tried to get that fixed but it's not helping.  I guess I'll try again.  Need to get back in shape.  Bad.

Middle School Teenpower just got over on Wednesday night.  That was a crazy 3 days.  Those kids are so unruly and don't give two shits what you say.  I'm glad that the camp is only 3 days and not a full week like high school.  This youth staff is good but the MS camp tried their patience with each other a little bit.  They used to gel so well, but during and after this camp it seems like they are falling apart a little bit.  Hopefully they can pull it together and have a good summer together.

I just got a job at TJ Maxx for the rest of the summer.  I know I said I'd never go back, but I couldn't turn down $10 an hour.  Might try to get a job at Sonic with Chris since he left Arby's in Ft. Branch and is the GM at the Sonic on Burkhardt now.  We'll see if that even starts.

Other than that and finishing this project, I hope my summer's pretty chill.  Lots of fun to come, hopefully.
