Well, its been a while since i have posted to blogger. It isn't so much that i haven't been writing, it is that i have been writing elsewhere. I have been doing a lot of posting recently on my myspace account, but a weird gainesvillain has been cyberstalking me there, so i decided to move back to blogger. i have also done quite a bit of writing over at my livejournal accounts, and one of them i will continue posting to, but the other i will probably discontinue for some time as well. the reason for that is that the one that i am going to stop posting to is the one that i have a link to on myspace, and therefore will probably have the same problem with as i do the one on myspace. the other one is a personal journal to which i don't let people know the url. that one i will continue using, but only when i feel like it, and it really doesn't make a lot of sense to everyone else. as for whats going on in my life, things have changed a bit since the last time i posted to this account. it has been about a year and a half, and i noticed that i had said that i planned to graduate in december of 06 if possible. well, that isn't quite going to work out, but as things go, i only have to push it back by one semester. i am looking forward to graduatiing, and that will be a year from now. i can almost taste the freedom that comes with earning a college diploma, but i am also wondering what exactly is in store for me after that. i have seriously been considering going to graduate school when i do graduate, but i will have a summer between graduating and starting grad school. i will probably have to work at least part of that summer, but i would also like to do some traveling then. as things go, i will probably have to get a new vehicle before then, and i'd like to get that accomplished by september of this year. if i do that, and i can get something decent, then i will likely try to do a road trip next summer. i think that would be quite fun, and if i have a vehicle that gets better than 18 mpg on the highway, i would be more inclined to do it. right now the two models that i am looking at most are the toyota corolla, and the ford focus. in the past i have not been much of a ford fan, but i've realized over the years that they actually make decent vehicles, and the focus is one of their better ones and one of the better cars in my price range. another advantage that it has over the corolla is that it looks a bit nicer, has a slightly more powerful engine, and from what i hear handles a lot better too. the only person i know that has had one really liked it, and whenever i got to ride in it, it felt really solid. i would definitely want to get a zx3 model with a manual transmission, but i think i could probably find one of those around for a decent price. i'll probably try to get something at carmax or some other type dealership like that. but until then, i have to keep the truck running over the summer, and as gas approaches $3 per gallon, my driving time is going to be limited anyways. i will probably keep it until after i move. whether that is at the end of this month, or at the end of july, or any time in between, i should still have the truck in my posession. right now i am thinking that labor day would be a good time to actually look for and maybe get a new vehicle, but i will have to see how things are going when the time comes. aside from that, i am going to get to sleep now.
