Yo--couple of things.
July 4th-ish to July 8th-ish, I'm going to Cedar Point to meet up with Amber, Brian, Bethany and anyone else they're bringing. I'm gonna drive, and anyone in the Omaha area who's interested in going with is more than welcome to tag along. What's Cedar Point? you may ask. Well, if you are asking that, you're not worthy of my attention from this point on. Just kidding. It's (supposedly--I've never been there) the best roller coaster theme park in the country. However, I was just reading about my current favorite theme park, Six Flags Magic Mountain near L.A., and it turns out that until very recently, it actually OUT-NUMBERED Cedar Point in roller coasters. However, this year, it retired one, and Cedar Point opened a new one, so it's behind by two now. But I digress. It's located in Sandusky, OH, and it's about a 10 hour drive. (Road trip, anyone???) It's gonna be a blast, and the more the merrier (and the cheaper!), as far as I'm concerned. Also, since Chicago is like a 15 mile detour from the highway on the way, I may stop there for the last night just to check it out--I haven't been there yet, and I've been dying to go. So let me know asap if you're interested.
Also, it has recently been proposed to me by my very good friend Kim to go to NYC AGAIN for New Years, '08. You know I'm all over that. And so should you. I had a blast last year, even though it was kind of a last-minute trip. She's gonna round up some of her people, and I'm gonna try to round up some of mine. So, if you're interested, start savin' up for a plane ticket, and a portion of the hotel. Kim knows a member of NYPD, so we should be able to get an excellent spot in Times Square for the festivities. You know there's no better place to be on New Years than in New York. Just something to ponder over the next six months or so. Let me know if you're in....
Ok, some side stuff--my iPod died. Completely. So, I'm now the proud owner of a brand spankin' new Creative Zen:M. It's basically an iPod, but I think it's cooler. It gets FM radio, has a voice recorder, and it's interface seems to be better. Video conversion isn't the pain in the a** I hear it is on the iPod, and the software is basically Windows Explorer--just drag 'n' drop the dang files in the player, and yer good to go. So, I'm happy, though not so much about the financial expenditure involved.
Also, I failed to realize that I had to submit for my tuition assistance for my summer class BEFORE the class started. I had figured it had more to do with when the bill was DUE, not when the damn class started. But no, the rules say it has to be submitted within the 30-day window prior to class start, and I missed it. I submitted a very nice letter requesting late tuition assistance, explaining my confusion and my newness to the whole process, but--and ya gotta love the military for this--they could'nt've cared less. They denied my request, and I was stuck with the bill. Ouch. Let that be a lesson to all you fellow service members out there who are looking into going back to school. Expensive lesson on my part.
Hmmm...what else...training still sucks...uhh....been jamming out to all those tunes everyone suggested to me....thanks again for that....still working on conquering my damn guitar, but finding the time sometimes is difficult....same for jujitsu and my workouts.
OH! And my wisdom teeth-pulling was rescheduled for this Monday. For those of you that didn't know, my last appointment several weeks ago was cancelled due to an unscheduled base exercise. Then, it was rescheduled for 9 July, but then they scheduled another exercise for that time. So now it's this monday, God willing. So, I'll probably be hurting and high, in alternating intervals. Visitors welcome--Don't be shy! Stop on by; we'll watch a movie or sum'at.
Alright, back to my studies...
