I'm currently at work in the Snygg computer lab and it's slow so I'm taking the time to update my journal since I haven't in a couple days. Let me see...when was the last time I updated...wow, friday, ok I have some catching up to do!

SATURDAY:
As far as I can remember, nothing too important happened. Amber was still gone in PA. and I basically sat around with Chris and Jessica all day (thrilling huh?) I did my homework, took out the garbage, and did my laundry. OH! I forgot, I worked from 11 - 2 and after I got out, my parents had me meet them at Ontario Orchards because Grandma Akers was visiting for the day and they brought her up. They had stuff for me which they gave me there. I ordered my first zonie of the year that night which had to be Macaroni and Cheese only instead of my favorite Mac & Dog Zonie since I've been trying to be a vegetarian for almost two weeks now! Go me! It wasn't even Amber who got me to do it, I just kind decided on my own. Sure, seeing her helped, but I'm doing it because I realized that I gained 3 pounds after being here for only a week and I needed to start eating way healthier! Being a vegetarian was definitely the way to go! Although there are some foods I miss eating...oh well...

SUNDAY:
Amber was still gone and I got up at 10 forgetting that I thought I was supposed to attend the SAPB conference being held in the campus center. I rushed over there half asleep and unshowered and sat through two meetings until I got a phone call from Scott saying I already knew all the info and didn't really need to be there. Wish I'd known that before going! At least I got a cool portfolio-type thing for free for going! After went back to the dorm and we (Chris, Jess, and I) got some brunch we went out shopping. I needed some stuff from Wal-Mart like folders, vitamins, and a micro fleece throw blanket. What?! It's soft and comfy! Anyway...we went to Price Chopper afterwards because Jess wanted some orange juice because..oh yeah...I haven't mentioned it here yet...well it's pretty much common knowledge know...

Jessica is pregnant.

and they're keeping it.

>.<

We've been dealing with all of that since Thursday when they told us. What a mess that all is...oi...I'm nicknaming the baby Baby Douche since Chris is Douchebag and Jessica has been dubbed Douchette

Anyway....I went off to work at Penfield at 5 for my first CLA shift! It's such an easy job, perfect for me! (I'm kidding! I'm not THAT lazy!!) There was supposed to be someone there to help with my first shift, but no one showed up so I basically winged it. Thankfully I had no problems even arise. After my CLA shift, I had to rush back to Scales to get ready for my second job of the night, at Lakeside. 8:24 - 11:24 as DRO, as usual. Actually my hours got changed. I was in at 9 before, but we've been extremely busy so I have to come in every night at 8:24 now. It's kind of annoying...but oh well. I also discovered Galbadia Garden on Sunday, a website where you can download many different video game soundtracks. I got Mega Man 1 - 5 because I've been on a crazy Mega Man kick recently (Mega Man 9 ALMOST confirmed for Sept. 22nd release on Wii Ware!!) and the soundtracks to Mario 1, 2, and 3 and Zelda 1 and 2.

MONDAY:
Today was kind of a fun day. Amber finally came back and I got to give her her shirt I bought friday along with a big House picture I got at the Beyond the Wall poster sale in the Campus Center. Classes weren't too noteworthy, I had a quiz in Math and class was held in Snygg 6 (that's where I am now!!) to learn how to use Minitab (a computer program for working with stats). I had a CLA shift at Penfield from 4:30 - 8:00. Tim from CTS was there to run me through everything I needed to know (what I needed the night before). Everything went pretty smoothly. When I got out of work we were going camera shopping! Amber got quite a bit of money from working the weekend and needed to buy a new camera because her's is broken and mine sucks. We decided to go to the Wal-Mart Supercenter in Fulton because A.) We've never been and B.) They potentially have a much larger selection of items there compared to the Oswego Wal-Mart. I had also planned to get a video camera for use with Boys Down the Hall among other things like marching band competitions and Chris's baby. Before we went to Wal-Mart we all (all four of us) went to Ruby Tuesday for dinner. It was a much better experience than the last time we went. After the long drive to Fulton, we finally found the Wal-Mart, and it was out in the middle of nowhere! Amber ended up getting a 10.2 Megapixel black Samsung camera among a couple other things and I got this awesome looking Samsung video camera. It's by no means a top of the camcorder, but for what I need it for, it will work perfectly. Plus, it looks awesome! Chris also ended up buying something at Wal-Mart...Jessica's engagement ring (and wedding band). She helped picked it out, romantic huh? I also managed to find Oriental flavored Top Ramen brand ramen noodles. Why are these so special? They are the only ramen noodles (in the packages) that are purely vegetarian. The maruchan oriental flavor isn't. Cool huh? Chris ended up proposing to Jessica that night in his dorm room and I recorded it with my camera. Again, romantic, right? *rolls eyes*. I also spent the night in Amber's room because she wasn't feeling really well (and still isn't) until I left around 3 am and went back to my room.

TUESDAY:
We had a fire drill at 7:15 AM, the first one I've ever been woken up by at school. Of course it was pouring outside so were all had to stand outside in our pajamas in the freezing cold and rain. What a fun way to start the morning huh? The Boys Down the Hall auditions were at 6:30 last night and had a rather disappointing turnout. We only had two guys audition:

Cliff Weinstein  - Tenor II
Frank Risole - Bass

I was hoping for more people to show up and they might tonight but if not, we're not too badly off. Our group currently stands:

Jeremy - Tenor I
Cliff - Tenor II
Bryan - Tenor II
Me - Baritone
Chris - Baritone
Scott - Bass
Frank - Bass

Flip recommended that we not do Take Me Home Tonight as the solo is quite high and difficult. Instead he suggested that we relearn Run Around Sue with the new guys, and me doing Ken's solo (he quit the group claiming he had too full a schedule and was in a "real" band now...hrrmph) and potentially Scott's and Garrett's too. Garrett is gone from the group as well (graduating in December) and Scott can't sing as well as right now because of some problem I don't remember. After that he thinks we should work on Chasing Cars, Crazy, Good Ol' Acapella, and Insomniac all previously done by BDtH and not that hard to learn. Scott said I was in charge so I wholeheartedly agreed (Flip knows how much I LOVE Chasing Cars (the song, not the activity). Tonight is the blending exercises to see how well the new guys sing with us. Chris's parents came up to Oswego while I was at the auditions. Apparently they want them to live with them now, which is the direct opposite of how they acted when he first told them Sunday. Personally I don't think it's a very good idea for many reasons. I worked at Lakeside after auditions were over and man was it busy! We're calling late-night Dinner 2 because there have been pretty much the same amount of people for late-night as there is for dinner. This semester is just brutal! We did over 400 people in the first hour! That's nuts!! Jeremy introduced to me to www.televisiontunes.com, even though I already had it bookmarked, I didn't know you could actually download all the TV themes so I've been having fun and going nuts downloading the theme songs for all the shows I used to watch and even the ones I currently do! It's a fun trip down memory lane :)


Well, I've got an hour left of my shift here, it's a short one today, only 2 hours then it's off to lunch! It's always nice catching up on missed days with one huge entry. It's funny to see how much I end up typing when I really get into it!

Oh and Kelly got her eyebrow pierced. Random I know, but I didn't find out until late last night.

I also have been listening to 3OH!3 a lot. Don't Trust Me, their new single is AWESOME! Their style is similar to Gym Class Heroes being a combination of Alt Rock and Hip-Hop/Rap.

I thought of the band name I want to have in Guitar Hero: World Tour -- Wiizer Get it? I like Weezer and I'm getting World Tour for the Wii? It's lame and perfect! God I can't wait to get that game...it's pretty much the only game I care about for like the entire rest of the year. October 26th (yes that is Dome day as well!) can't come soon enough...
