Okay, I'll explain adsense. If you go to www.google.com/adsense you can sign up to put ads and referrals and search bars on your site, the more people click on the google ads or referrals, the more money you get for having advertised for google. I have a grand total of $0.00 because no one clicks on my stuff, which is sad. So yeah go to that website I told you too last time, plus I've got some decent posts there.

fine. here's a reeeal update.

Basically, orientation at GCC was pretty awesome, except that I met this one reeeally nerdy guy that was going on about his life-size cardboard cutout of han solo. yeah. my thoughts exactly. I mean, I consider myself somewhat nerdy sometimes with the whole anime thing, but SERIOUSLY. a poster of amanda bynes is as far as I've gone, and that's just being a guy. Anyway, the rest of orientation was nerd-free, and the lunch was good.

In other news, I guess I should tell my car accident story. Okay, basically, this summer I didn't want to get a full time job because I got a lot of money from graduation. Sooo, I got a job valet parking. It's a contracting company so we do a bunch of different jobs at different places, and this one was at the columbia country club. So yeah. I can't really drive stick, see..and they asked me to go pick up this guy's really expensive jaguar. So I get into the car, and see that it's a stick shift. I think, hmm well I've done this like twice ever, but I don't wanna run all the way back. yeah, I think I can just ride the clutch there. YEAH RIGHT. I start the car, and put in the break and the clutch. take off the parking break. put it into first gear. the car is really loud at this point, like screaming "you'd think I was a v12!" i turn the wheels alll the way to the left (which is AWAY from the cadillac, as you see from the diagram below). And then....

                              \               \              \
                               \               \    cady    \  and yes they were slanted.
                                \               \     \/       \
                                 \ _________\_________\
                                 \       /\      \              \
                                   \     me       \              \
                                    \                \              \
                                     \                \              \

...I'm not really sure what happened. All I know is that I did something very wrong and the jaguar, disregarding the direction the wheels were turned, rammed right into the cadillac.

so, in mastercard terms,
dented front cadillac door - $1500
scratched and dented back cadillac door - $1500
dented front corner of jaguar - $2000
rental cars to drive the owners around - $1000
realizing that I not only had crashed the two most expensive cars in the parking lot, but also had crashed into the guest of honor's cadillac (celebrating 50 wonderful years of marriage) - priceless.

Oh and by the way, I didn't have to pay anything, the owners were cool with it, and my bosses were cool with it. Once again, I escape unscathed.

Edit for Michy: Oh yeah, and Jr. Camp was awesome...umm I made a shirt. lol

So I went to GCC over the weekend and had my interview and all, which went really well. Basically, if I get in, I'm going. And if I dont get in...well there's just a very small chance of that. So here are my reasons for going here instead of a big university.

1) This is really the most important reason to me. I want an environment where I can make good christian friends that will last past college, and where I don't have to deal with all the stuff I might deal with at a big university, so I can study and get the good grades I need. Because I need to focus on my studies, and I don't want to feel like I have to talk to my roommate all the time about his drinking and bringing girls into the room, or deal with the peer pressure of going to all the parties and stuff. I mean, yeah, it could happen that I get a really good roommate and stuff and everything went fine, but thats not a chance I want to take when my future depends on how well I learn the stuff in college. In grad school I can just rent an apartment off campus and commute so I can go to a big university then.

2) For engineering, like science and math, according to my dad, most of what I'd learn in undergrad is more theoretical stuff and I won't need like amazing labs and stuff till grad school. And I looked at the gcc labs and they're still nice, and the classrooms are nice, and they have everything I'd need in undergrad studies.

3) Especially since I want to go onto law school afterwards, I need to go to a place where the engineering dept is really good but the environment is great to study in so I can get a good gpa to get into a big well known law school, hopefully harvard law.

4) This way, I can hopefully get good grades, but from a school known for the rigor of the engineering/science depts. So even if I decide to go on to get an MA or PhD in engineering or physics and not go to law school, I can still get into a school like MIT that has all the labs and stuff that I will need for grad school.

And thats why I'm going to gcc and not a big university, even though I'm doing electrical engineering. Oh and the gcc buildings are really nice too.

don't you sometimes wish that you could find out exactly what was going on in someones head? like find out exactly how they thought about you so you'd know to do the right thing? or like to know exactly why they think the way they do?

I think life would be so much easier that way..maybe more painful sometimes...but definitely easier..
