3rd time is a charm!

So, i'vebeen trying to write a post two other times and I've been thwarted, either by my brother who was trying to do homework, or by myself accidentlly bumping the power cable, and thus causing the computer to go on the fritz. But, it's working now, and I fully iontend on providing my few viewers with a lengthy drawn out, but entertaining blog.
Man have you missed a lot! I'll try to catch you up, but i'm just going to be going of on tangents. Think of this blog a syour inside look at mike's stream of conscious .
As far as saying I'm content, i just wanted to point out that I am content with where I am at only because I am not content to stay here for an extended period of time. IF I feel I am getting into arut and a place I don't want to be, i'm willing to make drastic changes. I don't want to get to the point where I am trapped with what I am doing.
May and June were pretty good months. Summer has come, the weather warmed up, and a lot more people around because school shas let out. Got to do a mermorial day picnic at a beach on the eastside Mentor headlands. it was definitely nicer out there, but not necessarily worth the extra time it takes. And the water is still dirty lake erie water.
I got to attend Amanda and Riley's wedding. I'm friends with amanda, and I've met riley a couple times over the years. It was exciting because it was my first wedding where I was invited as friend, not family. It was a beautiful ceremony, very well planned. And it was a lot of fun to catch up with the girls of Compton 3rd floor. That's pretty much how i knew them. They all live don the same hall our freshman year.
Softball is going, we are doing well, but definitely underachieving a bit. This is the first year where I am being very critical of my managing, and seeing what I can do to improve both on the field play, and also working everyone into the rotation. It's not been easy, but I think by the end of the season will be ready to go in the playoffs. The good thing is a) we can definitely beat an team in the field. b) the regualr season will have little impact on the playoffs because it's a 6 team field. The first round bye would be nice but we can manage because we are the youngest team and our stamina is considerably higher.
Whitewater rafting was one of the best experiences in my life. It was definitely a fun group to go with. The camping will have to be planned a little better next time (yes there will be a next time) BUt over all, i am really glad thta it all came together and we got to make the trip. Our guide, Tasha, was pretty cool, and made fun of stephen the whole time, so bonus points in my book!
Work is work, it's been a little less stressful, but mainly because either there was a 3rd shift person so I couldn't stay extra or I haven't been. I work my 40 and go home. it's definitely harder in the summer, because I always have something I want to do. BUt i'll probably be getting into working extended hours a little more here because the money is nice. I still don't know if I'll ever get hired in and that is frustrating! i deserve it, the people I work with tell me that, my boss tells me that, but somewhere in the corporate chain, someone says, can't hire any new people. ARGH! So for now I wait it out.
I'm still looking into CSU, but have found that they like their summer vacation, because people I have called or emailed haven't really gotten back to me. So, i find that process slow moving. but I should be taking 1 course this semester. probably something that fulfills my core classes, because I gotta a couple of those left thanks to CSU's crazy requirements.
And since i like to see who reads my blog, here's a thought. I haven't been able to pick what I want to do with the rest fo my life. So i'm asking advice. What would I be good at?? what do you guys see from me that suggests, yeah, he might be able to do that FOR EVER FOOOOOOOOOOR EVERRRRRRRRR FOOOORRRRRRREVER! Any ideas? let me know! I'll be blogging again soon!
