Update

by Inthefastlane45 @ 17/06/2008 - 19.14:48

I finally got my hair cut short today. It is significant as I never had short hair before. I actually really like it, I knew I was going to like it before it was even finished.

I was sitting in my pre-calc class and just decided I would finally get it cut short after class, and I did. It makes me look older in my opinion, which I like.

Although the woman cutting my hair and her boss seemed to be angry/annoyed at each other at one point and I was hoping she wouldn't take it out on my hair lol

I do have some good school news though.

First off, I found out that I am the valedictorian for my graduating high school class. But I cannot make the ceremony in Philadelphia(five hour drive), so I they asked me to write a speech and somebody will read it for me. Luckily they wanted a very brief 3 minute speech. After I e-mailed it int he principal called the next day saying he thought it was great and congratulated me.

Then, I also made the deans list at the community college. I got a nice littler certificate in the mail lol. They are having a reception type thing done in the city, but it is only an hour long and it is an hour drive so I decided that wasn't worth it. Plus, I have no 'business casual' clothes..it is all just casual.


 
 

Music on MTV?

by Inthefastlane45 @ 12/06/2008 - 16.15:53

If there is one good thing from getting up early for my morning class, it is that I can turn on MTV or VH1 and they are actually playing music videos(the whole video too). Although it is 9-10 in the morning, when not many are watching TV.

I was never a big coldplay fan, but I am likeing their two new songs..one from the itunes or ipod commerical, and the other has a video which is played often:

Viva La Vida:


and, Violet Hill:


New computer contd

by Inthefastlane45 @ 11/06/2008 - 16.37:54

It took about four hours for me to get everything hooked up. I didn't even have to call the internet company, all I had to do was put the wire into the new computer and turn it on, instantly connected.

The new moniter is widescreen, which is nice I suppose.

I am not a windows vista and internet explorer 7 user..I'm not too impressed with either--they just seem like everything is changed but not with any real benefits. But I haven't had any problems with either.

I also had to buy microsoft office(student) 2007..which includes word, excel, powerpoint and onenote. I only used word so far but I liked it. It took be 5 minutes to find the word count tool, and then I realized that it is always shown in the bottom of the document.

I will say I believe that microsoft office was a complete rip-off--$150.

New Computer

by Inthefastlane45 @ 07/06/2008 - 11.22:42

Since I am all but ofically graduated, I got my graduation present--money--early.

Although technically most of the money is going for a new computer since ours is getting outdated.

I am 99% sure that I'm getting an HP. They seem to be reasonably cheap and always get good reviews from other customers(that I've seen/heard).

I was going to get a laptop and get wireless internet, but the whole deal seems complicated and will probably end up adding on extra fees so I just decided to get another desktop.

Yes, for someone who has used a computer for nearly 10 years and done a lot of my education over the computer, I am pretty bad at understanding all of the terms/mechanics.

I am actually uploading all my pictures I saved to my computer onto my flickr, so then I won't have to transfer them between computers because I have no idea how haha.

POTC, summer, sleep

by Inthefastlane45 @ 01/06/2008 - 23.40:38

I decided I should start June off right by blogging right away.

This weekend I seen the second pirates of the caribbean movie, which I thought was very good, just as much as the first(which is rare). Only I hate how the ending is, with no real closure. I guess that is how they get you to go and see the next one though.

The summer semester has started, and since it is broken into two very short six-week semester, it goes at a very fast pace. The only good thing is that I have actually got into a decent sleep schedule during the week where I fall asleep before 1, and get up at 09:00, a full eight hours.

It kind of worries me that I need eight hours to feel good. I can function just fine on any amount of sleep(or none at all), but I only feel rested all day when I get eight. And eventually I will have to get less when I go to earlier classes/get a job. Although it probably doesn't help that I don't drink coffee.
