Under The Whelming That Is Over Me

Whoa.
Too much going on- yet so little. I'm not even registered for classes yet and I'm already freaking out about the time crunch.

Starting to Move

I can't believe how quickly this past week has passed. I've not quite been home for two weeks and I already have done more than I feel like I've ever done in that short a span pre-mission. Maybe I did actually learn how to work a little harder out there.
So, I am again employed by Adventure 16 Outdoor and Travel Outfitters. I start on Monday. I've been shopping for a MacBook, because I am absolutely enthralled by their ease of use- having grown up with a father who lost most of his hair due to the fact that he's a computer programmer on DOS based machines (admittedly, I caused whatever hair may have been remaining to abandon it's post). Hopefully I'll be able to save up over a couple of months and get one of them-thar newfangled lap-desk-micro-apple-chip doo-dads. I'll be meeting with a counselor at Grossmont College on Monday to try to begin to plan out my educational path for the next little while. I'd like to have a newer car that I don't have to worry about breaking down if I take a trip in it. (Read: Subaru). Oh, did I mention that all of my belongings are scattered throughout the several rooms and storage spaces in this unfamiliar house my parents moved into while I was on my mission for the last two years? Well, they are.
Also, I'm being taken to a dance tonight- not entirely against my will, since I've been invited roughly 15 times by various friends- but I'm certainly not overjoyed about the prospect of hideously awkward conversations yelled over terrible music at a church singles dance. No offense to those who organize them, my social tendancies just seem to clash horrendously with mixers of this manner. Should I change, try to enjoy them? Probably. Will I try very hard at this point? Nope.

Hmm, that's a rather negative note to finish on- so I'll have to find something more positive to close with. Give me a minute whilst I sally forth to switch out my wash...

Ok, so I have a bad attitude about a few things- I'll be the first to tell you just how far from perfect I am. Well, now that it's about 10 minutes till the thing starts, mabye I'll shower and get out there to see what happens.

I'd rather stay home and write a letter.

A Second Chance For A First Impression

I've been meaning to get this site up and running so I can use the link as a general re-direct for any and all other personal sites I'm running, including: Facebook, MySpace, DeviantArt, YouTube, and whatever else you can think of. My purpose is in the fact that blogger seems less likely to be aggressive in marketing questionable websites/material in their banner ads. I like that, because it's one less hassle for me to worry about.
That being said- my plans for 'From The Ashes' include taking on the duties of being an outlet and sounding-board for me and my thoughts on various subjects, events, opportunities, and emotions. It will be, in essence, my attempt at a second chance to make a first impression to anyone re-directed here from one of those other sites.
Thanks for looking me up.
