i've gone for a while without updating again; things actually happened this time, however.

out of all the recent events, the most important is that i'm no longer a student at RIT. no, i didn't graduate... i left. it wasn't an easy decision, probably not a good one, and it certainly didn't make me any friends, but that's where i'm at now. RIT is a great school, and i liked it there, but the school and i did not get along. as a result, my grades got steadily worse, my gpa was shite, and i wasn't really too happy with life. so i left. but... what now?

obviously, if i'm not going to school, i'm going to be looking for a job. i'm living at home again, in utica. this will help me save money, once i get a job, since i won't have to pay for an apartment. yay. ultimately, i want to move to points south (but not too far south), into a large, busy city, get a job there and finish up my education.

when i told craig about all this, he suggested i move to Columbus with him when he goes at the end of summer 2005. he's going to OSU (i believe) for grad school. it's as good a plan as i've heard, so i'm thinking this is what i'm going to shoot for. it would give me some time to save up money for a move, i'd be living with my best friend in a place that gets about 8 inches of snow a year, there would be a number of colleges within throwing distance... and... yeah, that sounds good to me.

so, all that really remains now is to find a job where i can actually make money, as opposed to my last job. for those of you who may not remember, my paycheck went, every week, toward gas to drive to work and food to eat while i was there, plus a little bit (maybe $20-$30) in my pocket. it sucked and i won't be doing that again, ever, thanks just the same.

moving all my stuff home was kind of a pain in the ass, but it's done now. i've actually put everything away and cleaned my room in less than a week, which is a new record for me, i think. usually it takes me a month or more to get my shit situated... i didn't feel like waiting this time, so it got done quick.

that's it, i guess. as if it wasn't enough. more to come soon!

hallucinating is weird. a moment ago, i thought there was a rather large, black spider on my wall, which i saw out of the corner of my eye. when i looked, however, there was nothing there. now, maybe i'm seeing ethereal spiders or something, but it's more likely that i'm just hungry.

the [Die Warzau] cd is everything i knew it would be and more. i <3 these guys. they're right up there with [Sister Machine Gun]. go, industrial, go. also, the newest [Skinny Puppy] cd is the absolute shit, and i mean that in the best way possible. One last plug: check out [Collide]. it's what Evanescence would be, if Evanescence was DELICIOUSLY EVIL.

school has been beating me down lately. i just don't get Computer Architecture. i realy wanted to get all good grades this quarter, but that's just not going to happen now, because i took the Class of [Satan] (don't click that link if you're christian).

halloween was fun-ish. saturday night was awesome, i chilled with some friends and watched movies. sunday, i was busy studying for CompArch, so i didn't do anything. unfortunately, there was a [KMFDM] concert that night that i really would have liked to go to. i wish i'd given up hope of doing well in CompArch a day or so sooner, because then i would have gone to the concert. sigh.

i feel like there was something i wated to talk about on here, but i just don't remember what it was. if it comes to me in a flash of enlightenment, i'll edit this post or make a new one or something. don't count on that, though.

  mood: not bad, all things considered
