So what's it like to actually have something to write about? Okay, well, part of the reason why I haven't updated was because a month ago I bought a new computer, and I haven't yet bothered to set all of the bookmarks I used to have on my other computer, so I haven't even checked my (and other's) blogs or anything.. so that pretty much explains the last month. But the 2 months before that? Eh. Really, if anything amazing happened, I'd probably let you know about it. Things have happened, I just don't know that I would classify them as amazing.

I opted to not take any classes this semester at school, for various reasons. In no particular order: 1) To work full time and save up money to get me a head start on the next couple of semesters 2) because I have no idea what I even want to study so I want to take some time to figure it out 3) because I seriously procrastinated registration so I couldn't even get into the classes I needed/wanted anyway without dealing with that whole waiting list garbage.

Turns out it was a good thing I didn't have any classes this semester, I think. In January, the company I work for went through some major changes, essentially they split into 3 smaller companies, and suddenly I found myself moving to a new location and being the one put in charge of an entire warehouse worth of inventory. It was a pretty tall order. For several weeks, from the moment I clocked in (8am) to the moment I clocked out (5pm) I was so busy I couldn't even think straight. The good part is, the time flew by those days, but it came with a price: my sanity. I was going pretty crazy and even once was so frustrated with all of my new responsibilities, and having to take care of them in a brand new system with a steep learning curve, I considered quitting. I didn't, thank goodness. I can only imagine what a terrible mess I would have been if I had to juggle those new responsibilities and a school schedule. I'm really glad I didn't take any classes this semester.

But now that my job has calmed down quite a bit, I'm beginning to see just how much free time I have at work... it actually kind of sucks. Even still there are things for me to do in the slower times (mostly cataloging parts of the inventory (yeah that's still not done yet)), but when that stuff is done, I'm really gonna be short on things to do. This is a good thing for when school starts up again, because it will mean my schedule will be more flexibile for taking classes, and hopefully I'll be able to take more classes per semester and get done sooner. Whenever I find out what I want to study...

Okay, so maybe saying that there hasn't been much to talk about in the past few months was sort of a lie. Actually, there was only really 1 thing to talk about, I just dragged it on for a few paragraphs.. I guess I tend to do that. Whoops. I think I just really like typing in general. If I could get a job where all I did was type all day.. that might suit me just fine. Well... maybe not, but I still do enjoy typing (keep in mind this is different than writing).

Um. Well, it's midnight, so I guess I'll end this here. Sorry for the long time distance between updates. Usually this is where I promise that I'll update more often, but when I promise that it usually doesn't happen so.......... don't hold your breath. :)
