New Semester, New Challenges

Wow, it's a new semester, and there's lots going on.

I've not my classical locker at the gym. I got all my classes in order, books bought, notebooks arranged, schedules printed. All nice and wonderful. Granted, I few things are different.

One is that I now work at the Computer Lab at school. The job pays $6.50, but considering I don't pay any taxes, the effective rate is much higher.

Also, for the first time, I am running for office of a group at school. Frankly, I've been going back and forth on seeing if I want to participate, and be active. I figure that my ideas might benefit the group, and the feedback, and view of everything will help fuel my own ideas. This should be interesting to see.

There is also the wonderful fact that i am graduating this sememster. It means I have to decide what to do with my degree, and what I should persue next. Again, it's a hard decision to make, since it can take a large chunck of time to persue a higher degree, and it means that I will spend more time outside the workforce related to my field. Higher education vs. more experience, is a tough choice to make.

Ohh, and I met a friend of mine from the online world. Well, not a dating site, or through a friend, and I started talking online. No, he just happened to go to an IRC room I am often, and this semester, he is going to my school. So naturally, I got a chance to meet him. He seems like a very nice guy, and has lots of energy. Granted, I have a feeling he might migrate towards his own clique, and that will be that. I don't know what's going to happen, but it was nice to meet him.

Still, many more things around this semester, but they will probably get their own complete write up. I'm very excited about this semester, and all that's going on in my life.
