Metered internet usage.. will someone please think of the children?
2008-06-04 03:41:00 Oh.. Oh… Oh the mayhem! Today I was reading this article, and I have to say that metered usage isn’t the worst thing in the world, but increasing your speed to only cap so that you can use up all your bandwidth in a matter of 6 hours is a bit ridiculous. I’m a pretty ... More About: Internet , Technology , Children , Usage
Odd day at work
2008-06-04 03:17:00 It all began as I walked into work at 3:45 p.m., and I looked at my schedule… oh crap I’m 15 minutes early (you can’t sign in, or out early / late EVER). Anyway, I thought that I would talk to my manager about my impending orientation at FIU on the 12th and 13th (june), ... More About: Work

Networth Update later on today
2008-06-02 16:21:00 I’m hoping that my credit union clears my two checks, and cash today so I can push out a networth update today. I guess I should spend the day researching new ways to make some passive income, and maybe some ways of making some good ol’ fashion of making money the hard way. I’m assuming ...

Work pays off.
2008-05-30 16:12:00 As much as I hate working at Publix I got my first paycheck yesterday (Thursday), and it was decent. I was paid $106.8 for 16 hours which is my net pay, I was taxed for ~13% of the money that I earned. It really helps though since I made a savings plan that would help ...

License refund.. I don?t think so.
2008-05-29 03:48:00 As it turns out some companies are not allowing you to return your unused windows license… and Microsoft won’t take it back either. I’ll be honest, Vista / Xp / Another other OS isn’t bad, but… why the hell do I want M$, or Mac OS[#] when I’m perfectly happy with Linux? As it turns out ... More About: License
FIU is expensive
2008-05-21 16:23:00 Although I’m getting 75% of my tuition paid for by bright futures, a scholarship awarded to student Florida residents who have a certain GPA, and SAT / ACT score but although it’s gonna cover a lot of my expenses it’s still going to cost me ~$7000 over the course of four years, granted that isn’t ...

*sigh* all done
2008-05-16 23:37:00 All of my AP exams are done, and although I say “all” I’m just really happy that AP macroeconomics, and microeconomics are over. I don’t want to talk about them, or how I felt while taking them, rather I would like to reflect on pre examination, and post examination. I sacrificed a good three weeks ...

Times almost up
2008-05-10 05:27:00 Time is winding down as I get closer and closer to my last two AP exams, Macroeconomics & Microeconomics.

Taking it easy.
2008-05-06 05:25:00 I’ve been taking it a bit easy the last two days, and I’m not exactly sure why but I’m speculating that it has to do with my brother, and a game made in 1998 called Starcraft. Ever since he came down from UF we’ve been playing, it’s fun, but at the same time it’s distracting. ... More About: Personal , Easy , Taking
Slowing updates
2008-05-03 07:49:00 I don’t think I’ll have to much time to update this blog over the next two weeks since I have to really sit down and study for my macro & microeconomics exam. I will not be so foolish as to say that I’m not having fun, or that I’m not writing online at all, but ... More About: Personal , Site , Updates

AP Scores not looking so bad
2008-04-28 16:34:00 As it turns out practice makes perfect, due to the increased seclusion of myself in my room, intense studying, multipe AP exams, and a bit of luck I think I can definitely pull of a four on the AP macroeconomics and hopefully with that same luck I can pull of a five which I’ve said ...

I really have no idea
2008-04-15 19:43:00 We all have quirks, but every once in a while I think we all begin to question our quirks.
