Cancellation

Due to recent events, I will not be going to the main campus of Pennsylvania State University this weekend. I have yet to decide if I want to spend the whole weekend at PSB or just come home early. I'm sorry folks. I know you are crushed. I might decide to possibly make a bus trip out for a weekend, during the school year. I'm sorry if I put anyone in a depression. I swear, I will visit one day. I just can't foresee any date at this point. I'm sorry once again.

It Calls My Name v2

I wrote a portion of this post earlier today, but I decided to watch a movie and scrap the post. It wasn't my greatest piece of work, so I thought it would just be easier to start over with version two. Here is the rewrite of the text...

If all goes according to plan, this weekend should be a Nittany Lion weekend. I would like to visit my friends at the Penn State Behrend and Main (University Park) campuses. I have to take into consideration the travel time along with my work schedule. As of now, my boss is expecting me to work everyday except Tuesday and Wednesday. I don't understand his logic considering he didn't want me to work the rest of the summer. I guess now that everyone is gone, he's under-staffed and needs me. If one would spend the time to analyze the situation, one might say that I now hold all the cards. Since I want to do my yearly visits, I propose the following as a rough schedule of events for this weekend.

Friday
6a - Wake Up Call
7a - Leave for Work
8a - Get to Work / Start Work
12p - Leave for Behrend
230p - Arrive at Behrend

Saturday
9a - Leave Behrend for Main
1p - Arrive at Main

Sunday
9a - Leave for Return Voyage
12p - Arrive Home
12:01p - Crash for the remainder of the day to recuperate

To be able to plan such a trip requires excellent timing and cruise control. If the trip is successful, I will be putting 544 miles on my car, and I will be spending about 9 hours 19 minutes in the cramped space that is my car. *cue commercial voice over* This statistical information is brought to you by Google Maps. Google Maps, they are ten times better than MapQuest. *end voice over* I really do hope everyone appreciates my contribute to global warming thanks to these little trips. I guess now that I wasted a few minutes of my life, I can get back to do my usual nothingness.

I wanted to test out Blogger Mobile, so here is a picture of my newly painted wall.

End of Time (Most Likely Posts Though)

The last blog post I made was a bit depressing, and I do apologize for that post. I was just trying to get over everyone leaving me again. I have spent some time with the last standing college comrade, Chris Tomnay. He has kept home life interesting, since there isn't anything to in this town. As soon as Chris leaves though, I'm seriously all alone again. It isn't going to be fun.

I decided to return to Volkweins for the remainder of the summer. It will give me some extra funding and keep me busy. The last couple of days, I have been preparing for Customer Appreciation Day at work. We converted two warehouse rooms into "Super-Mega Blow-Out" clearance rooms. I highly suggest any interested in musical instruments, sheet music, free food, or prizes to stop by our Pittsburgh store tomorrow (Saturday, September 1st). I will be working and possibly helping out at the registers.

After I finish my work at Volkweins, I will be preparing for my return voyage to Drexel. I will be co-oping for Undergraduate Admissions. I'm really excited to be working with the incoming students and alongside my friends. So if anyone would like to see me, I'll certainly be around campus for the fall and winter quarters.

I would also like to end with a comment regarding this blog. It was initially created for incoming freshmen as a way to transition into the lifestyle of a college student, and I would like to think that this blog initially served its purpose. Eventually, the blog began to revolve around my life, and it strayed a bit from its objective. Since the freshmen will soon be entering Drexel, the need for my blog is no more. I might choose to return and post a few things, when I get bored. I can't make any promises, but I can say that Facebook automatically imports all of my posts, so I might decide to write something from time to time just to keep it active. It was wonderful have readers from the blogosphere and the Facebook community. I expect future posts just to be reflections on my feelings or exciting occurrences in my life. Thanks again everyone for your readership.

Virtually Lonely

This weekend once again marks one of the longest months of my life. This is by the worst thing about going to Drexel. I have to sit back and wait, until it is my time to move in to my sophomore housing. All of my friends have left for college, and I now must sit at home alone. I do, however, know that I am not alone. This the longest stretch for everyone. Last year, I was able to overcome this loneliness by visiting various people at their college. If one is able to visit local colleges, I would suggest making the trip. It helps to pass the time. I remember people always discussing that they worked in the final month before Drexel. This is the best time to get those extra hours at one's summer employment. During this last month, I will be returning to my job from last summer. Up until this point, they have had no need for me. Now that everyone left though, they need me. Being the person that I am, I accepted. I plan on working enough to get some last minute cash, but I plan on visiting some more people at college. I seriously have tried to visit everyone that was humanly possible with my hatred for long distance travels. Once the stragglers leave next weekend, it will be me all alone. I'll have my family and my thoughts. I really don't enjoy free time. It gives me the ability to access my life. I don't enjoy going down that dark path. It ends up being a very destructive segment of my life. Most of my worst thoughts stem from the dark portions of my brain. I could go into a whole dissertation about my skewed pattern of thoughts. It might be healthy for me to write down such problems and address them accordingly, but I don't feel it would benefit my reader(s) in any way. I guess I'll just have to struggle with my mental battlefield.

Sorry this post isn't as exciting or uplifting as some of the rest. If you are looking for happiness, I would suggest looking elsewhere on another blog. Thanks again though if you actually made it to the end of my post. It shows that I might actually be semi-interesting.

All Time Low

Once again, I had another crazy dream. This time it consisted of the entire cast of Scrubs. My life is pretty sad. I have been watching a few episodes of Scrubs everyday. I wake up early, and I watch Scrubs nonstop until about noon. I have completed the first, fifth, and six seasons. I am about half way complete on the second season. I started watching Scrubs while sitting in the hospital. It is slightly odd that I picked up a love for a hospital television show, while in the hospital. One would think that I would have had enough, but this couldn't be further from the truth. Well I stayed up quite late last night, and I had to wake up early to ensure that my sister completed her summer reading projects, so I'm heading back to bed for a nap. I hope that I dream of something wonderful.

Brad really likes this picture, so I uploaded it to my deviantART account, and now I'm just putting it on my blog. I really want to get more into photography, but I have trouble sometimes finding time. Hopefully, the end of the summer will turn out well for my amateur photography career.
