Summer shiz

Before

After

Worked on my tan in Anna's vineyard yesterday.

This summer, I'm living in Corvallis and working in the computer lab on campus. Unfortunately there were some budget cuts right before summer and we lost all but one of the labs cutting our hours from 300ish to 150ish. I was one of the more fortunate employees and managed to get 12 hours a week (a couple people only got 4). I need to start looking for more employment. I might even see if Pierce Steel would consider hiring me back. That would be grunt work from 6 to 4 five days a week. It would bring in the green, but that would be the end of my summer fun.

I made Rhino this year. I played in my first tournament a couple weekends ago at Summer Solstice in beautiful Eugene. I caught a goal in my first game with them which was more than I had hoped for. I went on to score once in the second game against Revolver and three times in our last game against Invictus. I didn't score on Sunday, but we beat Blackfish and Furious George to put us in the semi finals with Sockeye. We went point for point with them until the end and they beat us 11-15. The whole weekend was a lot of fun.

So, last term I pulled off a huge upset. For some reason I didn't put in the time I usually do to prepare for my midterms, and my grades showed it. I was getting 50%'s and freaking myself out. I had applied to Pro-school, which is required to take the junior level classes, and my acceptance was contingent on my performance last term. I was retaking one class and the other four were required for acceptance. Thanks to sugary treats from Circle K, I studied my balls off all weekend and all week to prepare for the finals that were all essentially "do or die." I don't know my exact score for each final, but I walked away with A's and B's in all five courses.
