A relic from the past.

Well the blogger addon for my side bar did not really help the posting frequency; but here I am writing again anyway, several weeks later.

As the title of this blog suggests I feel like a relic. This last week I started up at UST again for the 5th year and after walking around, and sitting in my classes, the best word to describe how I felt, is, a relic.

The thing is, as I walk around campus the faces of friends I have made have come and gone. Sitting in my classes I see the excitement of younger students as they realize all of their friends are in this class too, just as I think all my friends have already moved on. Looking around I see faces that look so young, I know that is a little silly seeing as I am only 22, but they look never the less young. Common ground between me and the rest of my class is no longer there as it once was, I have moved on, both in age and in understanding.

I am not sure what else to write but I just can not help but feel, as I start out my last semester, that I just do not belong.

On a side note two things that I have been checking out recently that are pretty cool and worth sharing are Pandora which is a custom radio station that is free, you just tell it the name of one band or artist you like and it will go from there. The second thing is Google Chrome which is the new web browser from Google, it is nothing too amazingly new but I like its "homepage" set up and its combined search and address bar.

Now a movie quote, idea stolen from my beautiful wife's blog.

How do you pick up the threads of an old life? How do you go on, when in your heart you begin to understand there is no going back.

Blogger Buddy.

So I just downloaded this thing called blogger buddy. It is supposed to let me write blog posts from my vista side bar without me ever having to open up the IE. Maybe that means that I will post more. Anyway nothing is really too new right now, Emily and I are in our new place and we are loving it. School is coming up soon; it seems like summer has been so short. Anyway with the new school year comes having to figure out if I am going to grad school, Emily starting grad school, and both of us figuring out jobs and incomes for the year... so yeah this is the end of the calm before the storm I guess. Really though I make it sound worse than it is, after all its just more school right?

Passed out.

So I passed out today, and not like you would think. I was at work, I had a pretty bad headache and I bumped my knee on my desk. Well it hurt pretty bad so I ended up getting up and walking to the far wall, hoping that walking a little might help it out... you know the old adage "walk it off". Anyway I get to the far wall and I braced my hand against it and the next thing I know I was being revived by my coworker. I got up and went to my desk and sat there for a bit. So I guess I passed out, and the strange thing is I feel like I had a dream or whatever in that time period of however long. Very strange. Anyway I ended up cutting out of work early to go to health services and then when I couldn't get in I set up an appointment and went home with the help of Emily.

So yeah that was my day at work today.

The summer goes on.

So summer is moving along now, it is July. Emily and I will both be back in classes in another 2 months.

I am not really sure what to right, summer has been pretty good so far, not too much to write about, and not too much to complain about. I have been able to pretty much relax a lot which has been nice. The downside of the summer is that Emily and I are going to have to move in another month. We need to be out by July 31st. The crappy thing is that we still do not have an apartment, we are working on it though. I will update when we know more about that.

I hope everyone else is enjoying the summer as best they can.

IRT

So I am working again... It has been about 2 months since I left Kohl's and I finally have a new job working at IRT at St. Thomas. I found the job through a friend of mine, Tom, that works at IRT. Anyway today is my second day at the job and its not too bad so far. I more or less answer phone calls and emails of people having tech problems with the UST network. Most of the calls are about password resets and whatnot, which is easy and I can handle but some of the problems require a bit more computer/network knowhow that I think I lack atm. The hold button is my friend though, and I am working through any difficult problems. Besides the stress of not knowing how to answer some questions the rest of the job is pretty good, in the down time I can surf the net, watch movies, listen to music... update a blog.

Overall it is kinda nice to be working again, I just have to get used to the early mornings.
