I just came back from a super rushed shopping trip (rushed because I was borrowing a car and Ang needed it within the hour) to buy some dress pants because, as I just found out today, there's a career fair tomorrow.
My resume, also, isn't done. YAY. I got some decent things, I think, and will be working on a killer resume (or at least throw something together...)
Point is, I have large and lofty goals for awesome things to do this year. Maybe you guys should help me accomplish these goals....:
(In no particular order):
-Go skydiving. Seriously, I'll be so fucking terrified but it's something I've always wanted to do.
-Get my motorcycle license. I think I'm actually going to do it this spring/summer once I find out where I can take a course, but yeah.
-Go paintballing. Ever since I saw 10 Things I Hate About You with their paintballing (yeah, it's a little different), I've always wanted to go. I still wont' have aim and I'll fail, but dammit, I wanna go.
-Also, go to a shooting range. For reals.
-Go play WhirlyBall. You haven't heard of it? Look it up. It's amazing. I went after my senior prom and rocked it in a hot pink prom dress and heels (no one told me to bring a change of clothes....)
-Go snowboarding. I can't do it and I don't know where or how, but it's another thing that I wanna learn. And I'm so not afraid of the bruises.
-Go on a legitimate road trip somewhere, via car with some friends. Never did it and so want to
-Also I've never gone camping. Let's do it.
And more will be added. So seriously, let's go and do this stuff. I think it'd be fucking awesome.

The Future Freaks Me Out
For reals.
Can I just go back to High School? Or even go back a few years in college, back to when I didn't have to have a career path in mind?
My roommates are, thankfully (or not?), in the same Failboat I am, and we're all kinda freaking out. My lifeplan of just being a hobo and pimping the hell out of a really nice box (or just living in my parents' basement) is sounding more and more appealing. Career? Job? I'm the type of person who needs to sleep 60% of the day or else I'm super cranky and tired. I'm always taking naps, and then staying awake until all hours. I'm the first to be the bad influence on going out to bars, and drinking even more when I get home despite the fact that I have a 9:30 class the next morning (which I made it to just fine, thank you very much).
I need to start thinking seriously about life. And school and the 'real world'
Hmm.
So, thanks to Comcast being complete douches (I'm sorry, but a promotional period does not last 2 and a half years, which is how long Ang and I have been customers.... so for our cable rates to triple randomly is so not alright.) We cancelled yesterday in the evening and we're getting AT&T Thursday, but for some reason our internet is still working.... Hmm. I guess it's good that Comcast is incompetant...
I don't care what we get seeing as how I'm only living here for another 6 months, and my only requirement is that I get The-N, because if I can't have my daily late-night Degrassi episodes, I just don't know what I'll do.
I'm hanging out with my cousin and his lovely lady and his brand new puppy on Saturday. =] I made fun of him for going to Texas over the holidays and not going to the Alamo Bowl, but he responded saying that he did, and drank a lot of beers, then sending me a photo with an NU pompom on his head as evidence.
I love being Polish.
Random Goals-ish for the New Year (in no real order):
-Be healthier. I have a lot of plans for after graduation, including more tattoos and plenty of beach time, and I want to be able to feel super confident. =]
-Spend a lot more time on studies. No more skipping out on assignments (I'd say no more late-night paper writing, but those always earn me the best grades, even if I nearly kill myself while writing them....), and I want to get no lower than a B. I have only 3 classes this quarter, I think I can do it.
-Pay off my credit card. For serious. I just shop when I get bored and eBay and Amazon are way too easy to access....
-Start doing things for me, more. I want to be a lot more social this quarter, and go out and DO THINGS as opposed to staying in so much. The roomies and I are planning on going out way more often, and I want to finally make those trips to all those colleges that I've planned to visit for the past few years. I also want to play all these games I have, more-so just be on Xbox Live way more often. I pay for the damned thing, why not use it?
-Besides having way more fun, rethink a lot of things in terms of life. I haven't been taking a lot of things seriously, but graduation is just around the corner. What the fuck am I going to do? Besides be a hobo with Ang and get a dope box to live in. Or just travel a lot with her. I don't know.
Basically, I'm feeling really confused and stressed and suddenly very, VERY aware of the future. Yay!
Also, i should be using the internet, while I still have it, to complete an assignment online, but of course I'm just updating this thing because, for some reason, typing just makes me feel better.
I'm hungover and I have to write about Spenser. I think I need to be mroe under the influence to understand him, but seeing as how I'm going to a class at 3:30, I don't think my profs would appreciate me stumbling in drunk on the first day, especially to a class I'm trying to get into...
