| Why am I awake?
I've finished my MBA. It hasn't brought the prosperity that I had hoped for. But, it is nice not going to school again. So, no increased income, job title or anything else that you should get from more education...but more time to just hang out.
Also, Call of Duty: World at War rocks. I love killing commies, nazis, japs or American pig dogs.
I've felt kinda worthless lately, but I think it's just because I'm up late and thinking about it. All in all, life is swimming along very well. Brie and I are looking to move somewhere bigger soon. Buy or rent, who knows? Work is nice and slow, but is going to pick up pretty fast soon. I'm getting along with people pretty well and all. I'm still needing to lose weight, but have started working out a bit more. And I'm enjoying netflix. Also, who DID kill the electric car?
I need to go see my family soon.
Update: I've just looked at the last few posts and noticed how worthless I thought this degree might be for me. Odd, right?

| Another successful trip to Amarillo. Palo Duro Canyon is not what I remember...namely the one spot I used to park at each time has been closed and so has my childhood. But, my nephews had a good time, so that's good enough. The flea market also disappointed, but it was ok. The mini doughnuts were fine, I suppose. I don't know...all in all, the past is the past. The only reason to visit Amarillo now is to see family...and burn gas...and such. It was good, but it reminded me not to move back to Amarillo, though sometimes I want to. Hell, I didn't even see anyone I knew, so it doesn't seem like I'd enjoy my time there. I'm sure if I would have called, I would have been able to see a few good folks, but I was busy. But, we'll never know unless I wanted to move back.
I suppose if anyone wants to come see me out in OKC, I'd take them out to dinner.
I start school on the 18th. It will be my last semester and I should have my MBA. I've decided to slow down on applying for jobs until I get within a month or so of graduation...or should I keep applying. Hmmmm, that's a question again. I am still looking at the automotive industry, but I think it's more realistic to stay around OKC and try to work for one of the large companies. Or Alaska, again.

| Last few days of dealing with this summer class. Hope that I get an A. Actually, I see no reason why I shouldn't...I do rock.
I can't wait to see my family in Amarillo. It sucks living here in OKC and only seeing family once every few months. I see my nephews and they've grown up so much each time. My first nephew was born when I was in my freshman year of college. I've been gone from Amarillo, basically, since. I think about moving back sometimes, but I think my life is going to be richer if I keep moving onward and upward. Really, I think I've almost overstayed my welcome in OKC. Maybe it's time to try something colder. I do like the cold and I hate constant 100 degree temperature.
To be honest, I'd like to work in auto manufacturing. Unfortunately, it seems as though the economy has turned down so bad that most companies won't be hiring and those that are will be looking for more R&D. So, I think I'm stuck working in middle management, if I could be so lucky.
I talk to people in the MBA program and the only one that had a job lined up found out the other day that it fell through. I still worry that everything I'm doing in this program is in vain. Especially seeing some of the people that the professors keep passing. I know, for a fact, that half of the people in my class now shouldn't be there. Well, maybe not half, but a good 20% of the people in the class need to be gone. I don't know, I just feel as though I'm throwing away all that tuition money. Hope not.
Someone, give me a job that I can do something important, make a lot of money and be happy.

| Well, summer is flying by. This summer class is going quickly as well. Considering there's one small project and two take home tests due and that's it, I think I'm sitting pretty. So, hopefully I'll finish up with an A in that and take a quick break and knock out the last two classes then call it quits for school.
Of course, I have already been applying for new jobs but I haven't heard from anybody. I wonder if it's because I haven't graduated yet. I guess my chemistry degree means nothing to people looking for someone with business, but I think that I have kinda proved myself well, especially since I have completed more than half of the program already. Oh well, maybe no one wants me. Maybe everyone hates me. Maybe I'll go eat worms.
In other news, Brieanne Bittle has an honest to god engagement ring now. So, look for us in your local newspaper. We've also passed the three year milestone, so...I expect applause.
Life is good for me. I have a great girl, a fun car, an easy job, growing potential and a positive outlook. As long as I don't find out about a 4 year old child anytime soon, I should be good.
Also, I'm driving a golf ball pretty far. That's always nice.

| Running = getting better each time
New MP3 player = pretty awesome, except the battery isn't great
Newish phone = keeps me better connected
Wii Fit = pretty fun, but I have terrible balance
Engine oil = Supertech 5w-30 full synthetic
Summer session = starts June 2
Last semester = almost two A's....meaning one
I don't think this MBA is going to do anything for me. I keep wondering if it is even worth trying to finish this up by December or if I should just stop and start relaxing every evening.
Someone give me a job making more money than I'll ever deserve.
