Test in an hour, I suck at studying.
Been "studying", and by that I mean: Watching infomercials on youtube and listening to nyan cat...

Summer Jobs

So recently I've been trying to find a job for the summer. I'm really excited, because I've been looking in to possibly going out west somewhere and working on a ranch or a resort. I found this pretty decent site for looking up different places, and it's called CoolWorks.com. I've spent a few hours perusing it, and I've applied to a few places in Colorado, Montana, and the like. A lot of these places have horses[huge bonus] and also have free room and board, and will pick you up at an airport or bus station. I feel like this would be a great way to get out and see some more of the country while working hard, and making some money. I really hope to hear back from someone about it.

However, I know that I might not be able to go and work out west, so I've also been looking for work around Auburn/Lewiston. I'm really not too picky about what I do, as long as I can do it. I really hate not being good at what I do, and it makes me less motivated to work. I think that's what happened last summer. >.< If I have to stay in Auburn for the summer, I'd like to work with animals of some sort, perhaps at a pet store, or as a painter, because that's another thing I actually enjoy doing. I guess I'm an oddball sort of person. I enjoy many things, and can be happy with almost anything.

Suckyyyy

Sad times, my friends, sad times. It appears that the UMaine Hockey team has failed to make it into the Frozen Four. How depressing, right? Yes. Very. I was planning on watching it, and being VERY ENTHUSIASTIC in my room! But alas, I guess I shall just have to wait until next year to see our team kick ass on the ice. And I fully expect them to make a comeback against the Merrimack Warriors by skating circles around them next season. If not, I may have to wait in a back alley and have a serious talking-to with Bananas. O.O

Pirates of Penzance

"Come friends who plow the sea, truce to navigation, take another station. Let's vary piracy with a little burglary!"

This weekend and next, there's a operetta playing on campus called The Pirates of Penzance, and I saw it last Sunday, and enjoyed it quite a bit. Don't let the fact that it's an 'Opera' scare you away from it, because it's a COMIC opera, that was quite silly. Here's a quick synopsis:

~Frederic, a man of 21 years, was apprenticed to a band of pirates by accident by his hard of hearing nursemaid. When he leaves the pirate gang, he swears to exterminate them by his strong sense of duty. Until of course, they bring to his attention that since he was born on February 29th on a leap year, he actually only had 5 birthdays, and was indentured to them until his 21st birthday. His overwhelming sense of duty forces him back into their gang in much hilarity.

I liked it a lot, and I totally think anyone should see it if they can. :]
In fact, I'm going to see it again next weekend!

Gaming

My friends and I are big into gaming. Or at least more than some of them would care to admit. There's been a time when there were 5 of us in our floor common room, sitting at a round table. Two were playing Age of Empires, and the remaining three were doing raids in Runescape. It got pretty loud, with people remarking which rooms various keys and monsters were in, and things. And this past weekend, there was much playing of the wii and Smash Bros on the Gamecube. It's always fun to watch my friends play Trauma Center at 2am, because those of us that aren't playing tend to backseat game.



It's a beautiful thing.

Weekends

Weekends are fun things too, I've noticed. There's no homework that has to be done immediately, and no time you *have* to be up. Also there are HOCKEY games! I have two friends that are in the pep band, so at least one of them usually has to play at a game. Also, since we're students, we get in free. The games here are the place to be on a Friday night. There's even the Naked Five that are at every game in the student section. When our school gets a goal, they run around the arena and make noise.

It's a beautiful thing.
