End of the Semester

So my last Christmas break is coming up. It seems crazy that I am almost done with college, but at least I am in a much better position than most of my classmates. Many of them are having to worry about getting a job and finding places to live. I have a job for after I graduate, all I have to worry about is Dan and I. Which I would have worried about anyway, but having the job already just frees up more time for me to worry.

Dan says he will follow me wherever I go and that if I am happy he will be happy, but I worry. I am going to Minnesota. Hours and hours away from any of our families. Which for me is not such a big deal, I like taking trips, but for Dan I think it is a much bigger deal than he is letting me know. He has been acting weird since I accepted the job with Hormel. I kept asking him for his opinion and he said everything would be great. I just hope it will be now.

World of Warcraft

I can not believe what I asked for for Christmas. World of Warcraft. I should know better. I have watched people basically throw their lives away playing the game. And I really should know better because I get sucked into games like that really easily. But next semester(my last semester!) should be pretty easy so I finally have time to get sucked into a game again. The last time I did this was in high school. But then I did not have any homework or a job. Now I have a job and a ridiculous amount of homework. At least if I can't handle it I can put off playing by a few months until i graduate.

Ben and Jerry's

So I got to see Ben and Jerry of Ben&Jerry's ice cream speak the other day. Jerry was great, but Ben was kind of an ass. I would think that when one is speaking at a university known for its business school then one would do some research on that school before they spoke there. In Ben's case that obviously didn't happen. I was actually offended by some of the comments he made about business schools and talking about what is being taught. I just don't understand how you could come to something like this and speak to several hundred business school students and alumni and bad mouth the school that they attend or attended. Free ice cream does not make up for that. And the way that he deviated from what everyone thought he would be speaking about. With a title that promised to talk about social considerations in business a lot of people came out to see them speak. But when Ben's portion deteriorated into something about the national budget and other political considerations.
Overall I was very disappointed with Ben's section. He also did not have much of a public presence, espcially compared to Jerry. This will not stop me from eating their ice cream. Not that I eat much of it anyway considering I am lactose intolerent. It just means that I have a lot less respect for the creators, or one of the creators, of the company.

Carpal Tunnel Surgery

So I had the surgery done a month ago. And I am trying really hard to take it easy on my hand, but I have been so bored lately it is all I can do not to just grab some yarn and go to town crocheting. Because as much as I would like to believe that it was not the primary cause of my need for surgery...it probably was. And I really do not want to have to go through with all of that again, but I am so bored.

More often

I'm trying to write in here more often. I have a dead journal account, but I have not been keeping up with it. The only thing I really use it for is to keep up with some friends that have accounts on there as well, but I do not like the system that it uses as much. It just seems too complicated.
Anyway, the semest starts in a month. In a week I am having surgery for the carpal tunnel in my wrist. Hopefully everything has healed and will be functional again by the time the semester starts. The doctor told me it would only take 10 days to heal completely, but I scheduled some extra time off just in case something went wrong. I don't want to be incapacitated when the semester starts. That could really cause some problems in some of my classes where I have to take a lot of notes.

Be awhile

It'll be awhile until I post again. I know I do not post often, but I am having carpal tunnel surgery soon so I will not be able to type very well for awhile. Which sucks because the semester is going to start a few weeks after I have it done. I have been told I will be healed by that time, but I am a little leary due to how much I take notes in class.

Easter

I am so tired of Easter candy and crap. And I hate people who only go to church on Christmas and Easter. Like that is going to absolve you of the rest of the year. I just wish if people were going to do something they would do it right. Easter is not about candy kids, there is a whole lot more to it that doesn't involve you gorging yourself on cheap candy from Wal-Mart. I guess I just wish more people would do more than pay lipservice to what they say they are.
