Accepted!

Okay so where to begin, haven't updated in a while. First things first I guess.
So I put in a few applications to a few schools, colleges that is, in order to further my education...although really it's just to make lots of money. One of those applications went to a school in San Marcos Texas known as the Texas State University, and as of last week I have been accepted to join. Yes it's a strange prospect indeed. Most people have older siblings who did the whole college thing, just a part of life like highschool, only one of my older siblings has gone to college, and he's still going. I guess trade school kinda sorta counts, but this is it, I mean, this is like for real college, living on campus, with dorms and parties and fraternites and mid-terms and the whole deal, it's just a little bit exciting. 
Obviously I have a few opportunities that my siblings didn't have which are helping to allow me to go, such as timing so don't nobody get offended and feel like I'm taking a crack at you. 
Having said that it's also not set in stone that I'll go either. I still have to come up with tuition and room and board and all the rest of that good stuff.

Well enough of that topic. In other news I also got a promotion in my job. Actually I got promoted about a month and a half ago, but I'm finally reaping some of the benefits, such as a not-so-shitty schedule. For the last few months I've been working this job I've worked the weekends with tuesday and wednesday off, but now I get to work like a normal person and get Saturday and Sunday off, quite happy about that. Now mind you, I'm not NOT complaining about my job, it's still terrible, has lousy pay, and could quite possibly make a person lose their sanity, but it's getting better. 

I think that's about all that's happened to me since I last posted, gotta do my taxes and stuff...oh and there was the whole episode with my car, getting that ticket for not having inspection but not able to get inspection on it because there was something wrong with the catalytic converter and having to pay a bunch of money to get the catalytic converter fixed and it STILL not passing inspection and then taking it back to get repaired and them telling me there's nothing wrong with it and then getting it inspected AGAIN and FINALLY passing (5 inspections total). But I'm pretty sure I already told everyone about that. 

Hmmm, oh yeah, I'M GOING TO COLLEGE!!!

disclaimer: The above statement should not be taken as a fact, as I actually may not end up being able to go to college but should rather be taken as an exclamation of joy and excitement at the upcoming prospect. If things do not turn out in my favor and I cannot go to college this disclaimer prohibts anyone from teasing/laughing/mocking or jesting in any manner about said failure.
