I still need to surf.

I didn't go home this weekend. I basically wasted 2 days of my life not doing anything. I don't even think that I left my apartment. Had classes all day today, which was very tiring. I've got 2 exams this week, then a career fair on Thursday. Misty is coming up Wednesday night and staying until Friday. Friday we are going to hang out with Kevin and Beth for a little while, then heading to Wilmington. I'm surfing for sure on Saturday, come hell or high water. The only thing that'll keep me out is lightning. A guy got killed in WB on Sunday because he got struck by lightning in while in the water.

I finally finished Natalie & Eddie's wedding photos. I think that they turned out well.

I'm ordering some stuff for my rifle in the next week or so. I'm not exactly sure what all I'm getting yet, but I know I'm getting a Midwest Industries rail, a light mount, a bolt extractor upgrade kit, and a few other things.

I need to surf

So I went home for the weekend with every intention of surfing, but the ocean didn't cooperate. Friday night Misty was sick so I got us Buffalo Wild Wings to go and we ate at Megan's house. Saturday I went to Saleena's birthday party. I took photos most of the time but I also got to see Kevin and Beth, Andy and Steph, Charlie, and the couple that own Pine Valley Market that I can never remember their names. Came home from that ready to surf, but it wasn't happening, so I took a nap and went to work. Afterwards Misty and I had dinner, watched some TV and just had a relaxing night in. Sunday, again, was supposed to be surfing, but wasn't. I didn't do much other than work and then my mom got me Mexican for dinner.

I came home Sunday night to see that Chris had moved most of his stuff in. Today I had to suck it up and buy a suit for class and interviews. I looked a few places, but ended up just getting it all at walmart. I really wanted one from J.C. Penney's, but walmart was half the price and it's not like I'll wear this suit very often.

Chris came by to look at the apartment today. I think he is going to be my roommate at least through January. He is 28 or so, was in the Army, in the IDIS program, and an all around stand up guy. I'll know by tomorrow if he is staying.

Finally got to wear my new Glock jacket in the rain and it works well. I also found a place called Defensive Concepts NC which teaches firearm classes. I'm going to go to some for sure. At least a defensive handgun and defensive carbine course.

Looking for a roomy

So they came on Wednesday and installed the carpet. Now that everything is new and the furniture is where it needs to be the place looks nice. I got the kitchen cleaned up pretty well, including the floor. Now all I need to do is get the bathroom as clean as it should be and I'll be good to go.

I had an interesting delivery tonight. This guy called from SC and said that he was supposed to be coming home tonight but couldn't make it. He wanted us to deliver a pizza to his mom, who evidently couldn't talk, and let her know that he couldn't make it home tonight, that he wanted to make sure she had dinner though. I ended up with the delivery and did just that. She was nice, smiled and nodded, and managed to eek out a "bye" as I walked away.

I picked up my Mosin Nagant today. It is pretty cool. It was manufactured in 1942 in Russia. I can't wait to shoot it.

Birthday Weekend

Got home friday just in time to work. Afterward Misty and I drove down to CB to cruise. Hung out with Corey and my Dad. Misty gave me my BDay presents, which concisted of a Tshirt from the Surf House and the MagPul DVDs I wanted. Saturday Cheif bought me lunch at Michealangelos for my birthday, then Corey and I surfed the cove for a while before I went to work. Sunday I got called in to work and worked all day. Then Misty and I went to CB with Corey and Kelsey and got some Britt's donuts. Which is when Misty and I decided that we are going to make my Groom's cake out of Britt's donuts when we get married. Today I went surfing around noon and the waves were pretty big. Got plenty of shoulder plus rides. Then Misty and I went and got her some new fish. Lastly we met everyone at Longhorn for my birhday dinner. Chief and his family, my family, my Mammaw, and Bradley came. My parents got me a Glock jacket that I had been wanting and a Glock Tshirt. Chief's family got me some wax and an Island Kite and Surf Tshirt.

Good weekend.

So this morning they have the entire apartment painted, bedroom, kitchen, living room, and even the bathroom, all before I even woke up. When I got out of class I did a lot of school work, had Wings over Greenville for dinner, watched Star Trek at the on campus movie theater (good movie BTW) and then came home to do more homework. Good news is I'm free of work for the weekend. Leaving tomorrow for Wilmington, surfing and working all weekend.

Still cleaning

I am still trying to clean this place up. Tomorrow they are coming to paint Bradley's old room and the living room. Then on Monday they are going to do the carpet. I'm so excited to get this place looking good and find a new room mate.

I went to the first PAID meeting today. It sounds like there are going to be some good opportunities to meet employers, and while I'm not a fan of sucking up, I need a job.

Classes are kicking in and kicking in hard. I've got all kinds of work, but the teachers are so vague about how to do it, I'm having a hard time getting started.

I'm going home this coming friday for the 3 day weekend, and the surf forecast looks small and choppy, figures. I'm working every day, but I still plan to go down to the North End with Corey and some friends, surf as much as possible, and spend some time with Misty. I want to get as much school work as possible done, so that I can feel free during the weekend.

A friend of mine from highschool got arrested last night for shooting a gun in the air after getting in a fight in a bar. I'm honestly shocked that this guy did this.
