Where was I?

I know I know I know. If I didn't want to blog anymore I should have just closed it down. All I really want to do though was take an extended vacation from blogging. A lot of things have changed since I last posted:

1.       I quit working at the gas station the first week of September. I was really getting tired of working 14-15 hour days a couple times a week.  Plus working in a gas station wasn't always the fun job to be at.

2.       I moved into an apartment in Minneapolis on Portland Ave. Let me tell you it ain't that pretty here. Back in October there was a murder a block away. So I decided that at the end of my 6 month lease I was going to move out. Luckly I am moving in about a month and a half. I have a apartment tour for tomorrow that looks pretty nice on the outside and the area is a whole hellava lot safer than where I am now. It's located maybe a couple hundred yards away from my girlfriend Lindsey.

3.     Speaking of my girlfriend, I'm still with her and couldn't be more happy.

4.     I transfered to another bookstore. I am now at the Barnes and Noble in Har Mar mall in Roseville. My old bookstore was closing and I got a call stating that the B&N in Roseville was interested in hiring me. I felt bad about taking the job because nobody else had found another place yet and I was the first to leave. It was really a split decision. I either could take the job or not and wait to see if another B&N would hire me. Last Friday I went out to Romano's Macaroni Grille with the B. Dalton group for one last hurrah. It was perfect. I talked to a whole bunch of my co-workers for almost 3 hours and I was one of the few that stayed until the end of the party. I am really saddened that B. Dalton is closed and probably wont see many of my friends who I consider my second family again. It truly is an end of an era.

5.    I start school in about a week. This last fall my grades kind of sucked it up. So this spring I am taking 2 classes that I actually want to take. I am taking: intro to fiction writing, and American Military History (the ones I want to take), German 1004, and Race Nation and Genocides (Last two I really dont want to take). So we'll see how this semester goes.

Ok peeps. I hope this post some how makes up for the craptacular  up keeping I have done to my blog here. I will try my best in updating more frequently.
