Computer Broke :(

Okay
So, was putting my harddrive back into my computer, and as i pushed the connector in, it broke of two pins on my harddrive... therefore rendering it USELESS!!!!! Fortunately for me i had all my pics and music and things saved on my second harddrive. But is really annoying, not i have to go out and get a new one and reinstall everything all over again... talk about a frigin hastle.

Well, this has been an awesome last couple of weeks. Got to go to the MK retreat at Mount Vernon, had a blast with 18 other awesome mks. We went canoeing on the Mohican River, go-carting, spent a day at a lake, had a pontoon boat to play around on and other fun things. We also had awesome spiritual time, we all got to share and you could really feel the Lord's Spirit among us. Talk about a lift for the beginning of the school year.
Also, today is the second to my last day working at blockbuster and i have only 4 days of tutoring left as well. Then it's my sister's birthday, freshman move in and then i move back onto campus... I can't believe the summer's gone by so fast...
Thanks for listening to me rambleing on.

BORED

Well, to tell the truth, the Majority of my time has been quite boring. For instance the past couple of days my parents and my sisters have been on vacation up at Niagra Falls, and I had to stay home... by myself... the only thing to do is watch movies and go online, both of which get really exhausting after 12 strait hours of it. BUT, on the flip side i have the MK retreat at MVNU in ohio to look forward to this weekend. I am going early friday morning and will be gone till tuesday. During that time i get to chill with my awesome fellow mks, its going to be a blast... i guess that will make up for these boring few days....
anyways... too much rambing, talk to you all laters

People shouldn't hate saturdays

hi all
Okay... prolly got you interested with my title... Huh?? ok... whatver
Anyways this saturday sucks... first off i had to tutor, which i do every saturday which stinks in general cause it is from 9 am to 12 pm, so i have no chance to sleep in at all during the week. THen on top of that i was scheduled to work at blockbuster from 6 until midnight tonight... i believe my manager forgot our agreement about me not working on weekends. I told him i'd work till closing anytime during the week, but wouldn't work weekends... "sigh" SO, i get home tonight at about 12:30 or 1 and then sleep for a while and get up early for church.. such is life i guess... I am not too frustrated about the waking up more the fact that my manager agreed to the conditions and now goes ahead and schedules me for saturday and sunday... i did put the law down though and said i wasn't working on sunday so... got part of the deal done. I just hope i can get the 2nd weekend of august off, cause I am going to Ohio... If they don't give me that weekend then i'll give them my 2 weeks notice tonight...
In general i have not enjoyed working there, sure the free rentals are nice and i've met some sool people, but the job itself, i can't stand. Pray that i get the job in admissions for this next year. I loved working their this past year and would love to again.
thanks all for listening to my rambleings
cheerio

Upstate Camp

Upstate camp was the most fun I've had in a heck of a long time. I made good friends with a bunch of the campers, and had lots of fun with the activities and playing card games with my buds. They "taught" me a new card game called mao, anyone wanna learn it? I'll teach it to you... the catch is, you learn by playing, HEE HEE.
