Another little update for everyone. I went to my job interview and everything went great! After speaking to the interviewer for 5 minuets or so he finally said something to the effect of, “ok, I don’t really have any sort of formal questions left and you already have the job based on Shannon’s recommendation”. Shannon is the name of my CIS 334 instructor, which is my advanced Visual Basic.Net class. He attends the same church as my parents and I have known him for some time and one of the factors that made me apply for the job was that I knew him and he was also my professor. So now I will be working for Cart32 as a phone technical support representative at McMurtrey, Whitaker & Associates. Another aspect that interested me was what after a year or so there is the possibility that I can move to their Wed Development group and work more with customers on website hosting and whatnot. Since this is what I would like to do when I graduate I hope this will allow me to gain the much needed real world experience that I can not get in a classroom. I’ll be making $8 an hour which isn’t tons but I don’t think its to bad for a 23 year old who doesn’t have a degree. 
Anyways, it’s now 2 am so I think I will get some sleep now. I will do some more updating soon and try to get into the habit of updating more often. Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate it!

Thanksgiving Break starts soon so I will have 5 days or so off from the joy that is my senior year at SMS. Not that I will be having that much fun as I will be working on mostly on my Advanced Visual Basic.net programming final project. I managed to get most of my other projects done completely today so I feel a little better about that but I still am not looking forward to break and all of the code cramming I have ahead of me. I also think this year is going to be a little different as I am single still and getting over things as time passes. Mostly I do everything that I can to forget things and my classes keep me pretty busy most of the time. I have my bad days, I can’t lie there but overall things are a lot better this year even with me running around most of the time like a chicken with my head chopped up and stressed out beyond belief but this semestar is winding down and I think I have done really well for once so I feel good about it.
I’m still jobless and I haven’t had much luck at finding anything, though I did apply at Best Buy but they have no openings right now. I have an interview today at 4 with a company that needs phone tech support people so maybe I have a shot there (wish me luck ). I will try to make a longer post after the 29th. which is when all of the projects will finally be over. I am hoping in that lull time to finish the layout of this site for now and to get the forums all setup. If you a busy little beaver and want to volunteer to help me there just shoot me off an email. gatewayy [at] gatewayy dot net. Till next time, peace!
Oh and for some random entertainment. Check out what I just found tonight randomly backtracking through a link posted via IRC. *Note* that usually clicking on lnks from IRC is a BAD idea but meh I am a risk taker in that regard. 
If you have any comments about these and you aren’t a damn link spam bot feel free to list your views. Have a great friday everyone!
Hola to the 4 or so people that I am sure actually read this creation of mine. Here is a little update of what’s been going on. For the first time in oh 3 years or so all of my grades are a B or higher. This is a huge improvement over the C’s and D’s or worse that I ahve been getting of late. The only real explanation is that I am single and have nothing else to do except study. Kinda sad, no? I hate the fact that all I do is code and work on projects but I guess that is the lof of a senior. In about 3 weeks or so I have all my senior projects due and then its tiem for FINALs. Oh yay finals . . . After that it is time for winter break and maybe, just maybe I will have a little break from all of this school crap. In other news, I am still jobless but I have some possibilites that I am hoping will turn out so hey, wish me luck mmmk . I will chat more with you all later, Take care of yourselves! I’m out! 
It looks like most of the spammage comes from this address: lilo@suddenenlightenment.us. I am going to see if just blocking this works, don’t know if it will but let us try. If anyone has any ifo reguarding this just shot me an email or soemthing.
