Heading to Florida

There is a surf contest is Cocoa Beach, FL this weekend. Bradley, Brennan, Shane, as well as other CB locals are going to surf in it. Corey and I are riding down with Big Chief and making a mini surf vacation out of it. We are leaving tomorrow morning and will be returning Sunday night.

I also ordered some new tires for my truck, as well as some other goodies, so stay tuned for that.

Another update

I've been busy with school for the past 2 weeks, but I definitely see a light at the end of the tunnel. I also finished up my metabolism study this morning with the final muscle biopsy. I should get my check in the next 2 weeks or so.

I just got some new SPY sunglasses but I'm not sure that I like them. I may sell them and get a different pair. I also ordered some new tires for my truck. 31x10.50 BF Goodrich All-Terrains. I'm excited to get them but I'm worried that I'll need to put a 2" body lift on it so that it won't rub. We are going to install them and go from there.

Next week I'm going on a little surf trip to Florida. Bradley, Shane, Brennan and others are surfing a contest in Cocoa Beach, so Corey and I are going to go down there with them to surf, hang out, and have a good time. We leave on Wednesday and get back Sunday.

Always get it in writing.

I've been in the same apartment for 4 years. My first least was from 8/06-7/07, so each lease after that was the same months for the following year. However this last year I never resigned the lease. As with most leases I assumed that this put me on a month to month plan. I wanted it this way so that I could move out in May of '10 and not have to pay rent for an empty apartment in June and July. I went to the office in January to confirm that this is how it would work. I was told that all I had to do was put in a 60 day notice and I could get out whenever I wanted. I was also told that if I left halfway through May I could get it prorated and only pay half of May's rent.

I just went over to the office to put in my 60 day notice, the same woman pulled out my lease and told me that I was responsible to pay the rent through July. I reminded her that I never resigned and that she herself told me that I could put in a 60 day notice whenever I wanted to. She started on this, "well technically yea....." stuff. She said that she would talk to the property manager and that he would most likely let me leave, but if not I would be responsible through 7/10.

I guess if they tell me no I'll just leave when I want to, quit paying rent, and tell them that if they have a problem I'll see them in court.

Back from spring break

I was home all last week for spring break. I worked all week, with a little bit of surfing thrown in (only 1 day to be exact). I did some resting and cashed in my massage gift card. I also did a little job scouting, which made me feel a little better about the number of places that exist for me to apply. Classes started today and I've only got about 2 months left of school. I've got to keep working, but after my midterms I feel like it may be downhill from here. I picked up my boots and I like them a lot more than I expected. They look great and are very comfortable. I got some saddle soap and conditioner/protector for it, so hopefully they will have a long happy life on my feet. Misty got us our Droid phones and they are amazing. We are having some trouble with them and may have to get replacements, but the abilities of these phones blows me away.

I started the exercise portion of the metabolism study today. I spent an hour on a stationary bike at 70% resistance. There were a few spots when I wasn't sure that I'd make the full hour.

Midterm Madness

I had 3 midterms today. 1 in Cost & Capital Analysis, got an 86. 1 in Financial Management, got a 74. One in Oceanography...I have no idea what I got on this one. I also had a quiz in C&C, a homework assignment and quiz in Quality, and a 2 page paper in Bussiness and Professional Communication. I knocked it all out and still had time for some XBOX.

I'm heading home tomorrow for Spring Break with a long list of things to do. I'm picking up my boots, getting a new DROID phone, changing Misty's mom's oil, surfing as much as possible, doing some photography, probably going shooting, and hopefully resting at some point as well.

I'm really starting to feel the pressure of my final semester at school. Midterms are this week and I've got 4, 3 of them I'm really worried about. The job hunt is going to have to go full force, and that scares the hell out of me. I'm really worried that I'm not going to be able to get a job. I'm pretty sure that I can pay my bills delivering pizza, but I'd really like to get my foot into the front door to the warehouse that is the supply chain.

After a long search I finally found a pair of boots that were acceptable. They weren't exactly what I wanted, but I'm not convinced that what I wanted doesn't exist. They also ended up costing me about double what I wanted. But, I figure they are Redwings and should last a good while.

This morning I dropped and stepped on my sunglasses. Let me explain something. I can't function without sunglasses. I'm going to have to buy a new pair soon. I have a 50% off coupon for a pair of SPYs, but that still puts me at spending $60 that I don't have.
