So our internet came back around 16:00 today and then dropped again later tonight only to come back later. Talk about a royal pain! Anyways, I went to the YMCA to work out this afternoon and have just been relaxing/studying this evening. I have a phone interview tomorrow morning for Camp Lincoln for Boys and then class in the afternoon. Lets hope the internet stays running for tomorrow so I can get projects done.

And the Internet is….
As of last night, my dorm has NO internet. This is getting to be a pain in the rear the longer this goes on. I am on a back-up dial access account connected to school now. Talk about a PAIN!

Disney Here I come?
Well, this Thursday, I had my interview for the Walt Disney World College Program and I felt it went really well. SHould I get accepted, I will be heading to the House of Mouse to live, learn and earn for six months. This morning I was at a Red Cross workshop with information on the new DSHR (Disaster Services Human Resources) which is the program that sends volunteers to respond to disasters nation wide. Now I’m just going to relax this afternoon. Got a nice nap at the beach yesterday and if the weather stays clear, today may be another one. Oh and incase you missed it, I was interviewed for an article on WiFi in the home that was published this Friday (05 March, 2004) in the Wall Street Journal’s Home Front section. The article is located on page W10.

Back in a Routine
So I finally got a work out routine figured out where I can take advantage of the membership I have at the YMCA here in St. Petersburg. I started today with an hour in the fitness center followed by 45 minutes of swimming. Man it feels good. Not much else new. Still swamped so updates will be slim.

And the winner is….
Well, it is sunday night and we are watching the Oscar’s on TV. This weekend has been one mixed with studying and just being a college student. Yesterday Pete and I went up to International Plaza and checked out the new iPod minis and I also got an update on my T-Mobile applicaiton. The iPod mini is a cool looking device but in my opinion, you might as well spend the extra $50 to get 15 GB full size iPod instead of the small 4GB that the mini has.
As for last night, well as the temperature dropped to around 45ºF outside, yes we are still in Florida, our school put on pool party at the Eckerd College pool. I think 4 or 5 people actually got in but, it had FREE and cheep beer. I can’t complain. Turn out was a little light and I’m sure it could have been abig event had the weather been better and it had mroe than just food, beer, and music.
Today I worked on homework and got some jobs done around the dorm. I FINALLY got around to swaping out my car battery and then went to the Library to watch Koyaanisqatsi by Godfrey Reggio. Interesting movie and I would recomend it be seen by anyone. Now as Lord of the Rings continues to clean house on the Oscar’s, I am reading for Ecotheology and Ethical Issues in Human Developement. Well, Time to get back to the Academy and reading. Have a good start to the week.

Up and Running
I got my replacement hard drive today and it was an expedition in itself to install it. Needless to say 3 hours later, I had the case off and the drive installed. Just another 30 minutes to get the case back on and a few more hours installing everything while I studied for a test. Off to bed now but I am up and running again! Yay!

Backup, Backup, Backup!
So my hard drive on my iBook appears to be on the edge of failure. Last night was when I realized the need to backup. Good fortunes were my way this morning when I was able to get my what appeared to be dead computer booted so I could retrieve my 8 GB worth of documents, music, fonts, images, etc off the iBook incase it crashes again. So do yourself a favor and backup before you almost loose all your data!

Too Much Fun
Well I’m sorry for the lack of posts to my website lately. I have just been super busy with school work, classes, and work. I am in the process of recovering today after a little too much fun last night and battling homework at the same time. This weekend is family weekend here at Eckerd College so we have all sorts of partents and what not roaming around. I am still waiting for my background check to come back from T-Mobile so I can get an interview and what not to see if I have a possible job in retail sales. Until then though, I will just have to live with my 5 hours a week at the YMCA. Well, I’m going to get back to reading for class and drinking my water while I relax in the sun on the balcony looking out over the gulf. Catch you all later.
