Jesus Christo, its been a good while

So dude its been 4 months since I put shit up here. Not that my other posts have been shit, but you get the idea. It's been an extremely busy 4 months at that. Lets see, the last time I posted anything was way back when in June. Its not the beginning of November. Where the fuck did the time go??? I guess its just one of the unfortunate downsides of becoming old. Oh well. Well since I have you all here lets recap as to what the hell I've been doing with the last 4 months of my life...*picture wavy sides, like in a flashback sequence, and that twangy harp music*

So lets see, when I last posted in June I was in the beginning of my summer session at school. I finished that up surprisingly well for the amount of shit I had to do in a very short period of time. The only class that really suffered was my child psych class, cause it was the longest (6 weeks) so I would spend all my time in that class studying for my other, shorter classes, assuming I would have plenty of time for the psych class, cause it was 6 weeks. But hey, I pulled a C, and they always say C's earn degrees so I'm good to go. One other thing that did suffer because of all this "education" nonsense was my dedication to the gym. I had been going at least once a week, but most of the time it was around 3 times. Once I got enthralled in all the summer school classes (3, thats 15 units, way to many!) I never had any time on top of my job at the library. So suffice it to say that I've been to the gym once in the last 4 months. But I've been trying to stay active by playing volleyball and softball on occasion. My weight has suffered a bit for it, I'm no longer the svelt 163 I was chillin at, but then again I'm nowhere near the robust 205 I started the year at. I've been hovering around 175ish for the last month or 2, and thats not that bad.

So yeah, I finished summer school and was all revved up for my final quarter as an undergrad, when my bogus school canceled one of my classes for low enrollment, which is total nonsense cause they canceled it like a month before the quarter even started, so how do they know if anyone was gonna sign up or not? So I get on my high horse and ready to be all pissy when I go up to the school to complain, and they seemed to sense it cause my usual advisor at the time, Andy, asked if I was upset. I don't know if she sensed it or if she just knew the class was canceled, ergo upset comm majors. Anyway, she pawns me off on this new chick Kristal, and she goes to work on righting my wrongs and getting me into an independent study class to get this one out of the way. Way to go new chick.

Over the summer I also had Cody's 6th birthday party, which was much more cheaper and enjoyable than his 5th. My family and Cody's other grandparents brought his cousin to Zuma beach and we played in the water all day. $35 for sandwich fixins is a helluva lot better than $300+ for chuck e cheese. Damn expensive kids... But anyways, I also went to the warped tour in San Diego, which was a pretty good time. I was supposed to go with this chick Michelle from work but she was lame and gave me some lame excuse and bailed, so I ended up going with another friend that I hadn't seen in a long time, so we got to catch up and it ended up bein a pretty good time.

Once the summer was over I quit the library and started substitute teaching. Its awesome, but only if I'm teaching 4th grade and below. I've found that 5th grade is when they start to turn on you. The district I teach in has schools with K-8th grade. I thought the bigger kids would be better cause they're older and smarter, but that just makes them more assholes and disrespectful. Something has apparentely happened in the youth culture between now and when I was in school. My first class I taught was a 7th grade class. I got hit with a paper airplane, had to constantly yell over the class to be heard, and ended the day being told to shut my mouth you fuckin whitey. All in all a pretty exciting day. Its gotten much better since then however, as I've tried to stick with the younger grades. So the moral of the story is, screw kids in middle school.

So also since my last post has been like a bajillion good movies. Transformers was awesome. I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, SuperBad and Good Luck Chuck were all hilarious. Finally my new shows have started again. My busy Monday night got even busier now that Chuck and Journeyman are on the air. They've been added to Heroes, How I Met Your Mother and 2 1/2 Men. I love the fall for this and only this; new episodes of my shows. Another good one is Life. As much as I don't like cop shows, I do like this one. Apparently its my exception to the rule.

So yeah, back to school. I'm 2 weeks from the end of the quarter. I'm really looking forward to it, cause 7+ years in I'll finally be graduating, assuming I pass my senior seminar class. This retarded ass teacher of mine has equated a 20 page paper to be worth the same grade wise as a couple piddly little 6 question quizzes. Fair? I think not. Suffice it to say, I need to pull off a near perfect final paper to get a C in the class. And we all remember what I said earlier about C's, so yeah. My BSing skills are gonna be put to the test, but they've never let me down before, I don't think they'll start now. I'm currently 8 pages into my 20 page masterpiece. Its not fun.

Back to another aspect of school, the aforementioned new chick in the advising office turned out to be a pretty helpful young lady, not to mention cute. So she got me into an independent study class so that assuming I pass my senior sem class, I'll graduate on time. So to thank her for all her diligence I asked her out to dinner. Turns out we have quite a bit in common and we hit it off pretty well. She went with me to my Arizona football trip, which my Panthers won 25-10 in a damn good game, and we've been dating for a little over a month now. Its goin pretty good, I'm excited about it. So hoorah for that.

Well I guess that just about catches you up with the exciting life of Chris. Perhaps next post will be back in the video format, and not 4 months down the line. But I'm not making any promises, so yeah..... Until next time.......
