I was officially accepted into Davenport today, I knew I was going to get in but it still feels good to get that letter in the mail. My plan is to double major in Biometric security and Network security. I found out Davenport is one of only two schools in the country that offer a Biometric security degree so I'm hopeful that the jobs will be there when I get done with it. I'm looking forward to going back to school surprisingly enough. The fun begins this fall!

Well it has been somewhat of a busy week for me. I was accepted to Davenport University, which I will be attending this fall to get a double major in Biometric Security and Network Security. I had to go see a counselor on Monday and I have had alot of "homework" so to speak to get ready for college.

My best friend Nick was informed yesterday that he is getting the job that he was hoping to get, but it's in Detroit, he'll be working for Ford doing IT stuff. I'm happy for him but at the same time it sucks as my best friend is moving away.

Then we come to Saturday, Brooke and I are going to look and possibly apply for an apartment, we have decided to move in together and I couldn't be happier!!!

For once in my life things seem to be moving in the forward direction instead of standing still, lets all hope this continues for my sake.

I find myself everyday looking more and more forward to going back to school. I don't know whether it the fact that I could use a bit of a challenge in my life or the fact that I feel this drive lately to strive for something better. I definitely need a challenge at least with my job lately I have been so bored simply because everyday it's the same thing it seems so pointless lately, at least the last year I spent working for Steelcase seems to have been. When I started there as a temp it was considered a Temp-to-hire job but soon after I started working the wood plant put a freeze on hiring. That Hiring freeze has now been in effect for well over a year. By rules of Manpower or whatever power that controls these so called rules, when a temp reaches a year at their current assignment without being hired in (regardless if they want to continue there or not) they are given a swift kick in the ass for the last year they spent there and have to find new employment. So May 1st is my kick in the ass day.

Things with Brooke are amazing, knowing shes in my life gives me the drive to strive for something better. I don't know what I'd be doing or where'd I'd be if she wasn't in my life and i don't want to know either.

I applied to Davenport today, college in the fall should be interesting to say the least.

Well i guess thats enough ranting for one day. I think I will start using this more often, it's a good way to vent at least.

I've had quite a bit of time to sit and think lately, watching my grandfather while my parents are away on vacation has left me with the luxury of having alot of free time. I got let out of work three hours early today and no one was online to talk to, so I took some time to look back at the last few weeks, some of the best weeks of my entire life.

Let's see first off, on October 1st my day retired from General motors after working there for 28 years. My dad hated the job and he was so happy to finally be done with it. He has bad ankles and his knees aren't any better and he would just hurt everyday coming home from work. Now in no way does this mean he'll stop working, my dad is a working machine, but at least now he can work on the things he wants and when he does go get a part-time job of some sort, which I have no doubt in miy mind he will, at least he can be picky and find something he enjoys. Him and my mom are spending 3 well deserved weeks in Arizona traveling all over and just having some fun with my aunt and uncle.

The last few weeks have been like something out of a book for me, almost to good to be true but at the same time i'm just so thankful for them. I met Brooke, my girlfriend and since then it's like I have been floating on a cloud untouchable from all the bad shit this world can create. I've felt like a changed person since I met her, changed for the better mind you, but changed. I find myself with her on my mind constantly throughout the day, and it always puts a smile on my face. I am grateful for everyday that she is in my life.
