I'm totally going to buy NMH tomorrow after band practice. I've been looking forward to that game for months, and I have a target gift card with the exact value of a $49.99 Wii game on it that I'm gonna use to buy it. 8)

Also, today (well, yesterday now, the 25th) is/was my birthday. I'm 17 now. Woo. Got about $400 from friends and family. I had a party that adjourned a little bit ago, was really fun. Now I get to wake up in 7 hours to go to band practice for another 8 hours. There goes another chunk of my life.

I got fired from Borders for cheating their rewards program to keep my percentage up. It never gave money or credit to anyone though so it's not a theft issue at least. They shouldn't fight my application for unemployment then.

It's annoying but I figured they wanted to get rid of me anyway since I was being paid more than everyone else and was going to be getting another raise in April.

Oh well. I have a lot of options now.

Hah, that sucks. How exactly did you cheat their rewards system?

The registers have a Borders Rewards look up key. If someone didn't have it, I'd quick hit it and type in a random phone number and just hit enter so it would always be some random person. Apparently I used the phone number 787-8787 too many times lol

Also I clocked in before they fired me but did not clock out (just forgot I guess) so I guess I'm currently clocked in forever!

Take the picture, just take random photos and look at them to see if there's any potential.  Scouting for locations is one of the more tedious parts of photography (I dont take photos to find something, I Just visit the same place like 10 times until I find something good).

My problem now is that I don't have my own car; it's shared four ways.  This'll be a lot easier to do when I get back to Ohio, Maryland, or wherever the hell I'm going to wind up.  I'm pretty much stuck here, unfortunately.

Expansive photos are really hard to photograph. From what you described, you were probably trying to photograph the pond using 18mm to try and get everything in, but as you continue to photograph, you start to realize that you really need to focus on one thing at time.

I was at 55mm, trying to focus on a fountain near the end of it, actually.  The parking lot kind of cheapened it, really.  If the other side of the pond is hotel property I'll probably try to walk whenever I get a chance since the fountain is pretty close to that end.  We'll see how it goes.  Regardless, there are plenty of trails that I want to cover when I get back to Struthers, either when I get back (if the weather is fair) or in the spring/summer if I'm there for those seasons.

I got fired from Borders for cheating their rewards program to keep my percentage up.

Damn, that sucks. :(

Any idea where you're going to head next?

Culinary school probably. I've always wanted to and now I've got a reason to go for it.

For now, it's time to rest. I've got plenty of money so taking some time to re-evaluate things is no problem.

Pretty much everyone I've talked has been really supportive. My mom and dad were actually happy about it because they knew I was getting treated prettily crappily considering the amount of effort I was putting in.

Whoa, nice.  Don't forget about us after you become a famous chef, m'kay? ;)

But seriously, that's pretty cool.  Definitely not something I can see myself doing, haha.

Fair warning, since I've been through some culinary school. It's a loooot less fun then it initially sounds. I mean, it's still cool being able to cook all kinds of different things, but unless you're really, REALLY sure it's what you want to do, it's a ton of work, especially if your teacher isn't a nice guy.

Practice today wasn't terribly bad. I went to Target afterwards to look for No More Heroes, but they didn't have it yet :(

Also, the marching band banquet was tonight. That was pretty fun. Went to my friend's house afterwards with a few other people, we all watched Pan's Labyrinth. What a crazy movie. It was pretty good though. Then I kicked everyone there's asses at pool :x

Jesus Marching band? Marching band finished for me like...at the end of football season? Rofl.

Mine wasn't anything special. We just took first place in the BOA Southwest regionals and won all caption awards along with 1st place in qualifiers. After making a jump from the previous year where they got 7th place (I wasn't at this school at the time...maybe they won because I am now :P).


Anyways...SATs this morning. It was 8-1. 10 sections of ugh. Also considering I didn't have a calculator I didn't do great on the math portion probably. Oh well I have another year to take it. Gotta do ACTs now.

Yeah, band finished at the end of football season for me too. We just wait until late January to have the banquet and remember how cool we were a few months ago.
