Downward spiral

Well I made up my mind; I am not going back to school in the fall unless I get some money from someone to go back. Currently I have no TA/GA positions and I am smart enough and work hard enough I should be getting paid to go back. Now that I've made my decision, time to spend a little money...or not.

I am going to drop a solid $1k on my car soon. New stereo, tune up, interior work, whatever i need to do. I love my car and want to hit the 200k mile mark.

I have been super swamped with stuff lately. I should have known better than to play xbox all weekend. I should have known. It was relaxing and fun and I was with the most awesome girl in the whole world, so it was worth it. Now I'm regretting it. Oh well. Grades come and go. I will finish my paper late tomorrow at work or something, if I get a break.

Work has me down. I am SICK of getting up at 4:30 to go to work. It's too early and I hate waking up that early. Nothing good happens before the sun comes up. Plus I'm exhausted at the end of the day from all the lack of thinking at work. I am a glorified mechanic. Today I politely asked some guys to clean up their toolboxes and they told me to shove it and if I wanted them to do something to tell their supervisor. I told him and he told me to talk to the group about it tomorrow. The lack of accountability runs rampant. Oh, we're behind schedule and today we shut the line down for three hours to watch a ceremony about another product line. Fun stuff. I hate that I busted my tail in college to be a mechanic and maintenance guy.

Enough of the negativity for today. I live in Camden, the armpit of the world, so I could go on forever.

I went to an Engineers in the Classroom thing this evening and had a blast! I helped some kids learn how to geocache. It was great. They had fun, but will probably not ever do it. Oh well, they know about it and I had fun. After that, I went and tutored Bubba's wife. I feel like such a hick calling him Bubba, but that's what he goes by. Did i mention he talked me into buying an AK74, which rocked my socks off? So much fun!!! His wife is so sweet and she's trying to get the math, but it's hard with little kids running around. She'll make it though.

One more class and I have a masters degree in management. Fun stuff.
