Residency

Well I haven’t posted anything for a few weeks. Apparently. I’ve been too busy tying to get school and work in order. So I’ll start with the most important thing. As some of you may know, I attended a popular trade show called Macworld. I was not able to see the keynote but I did get to touch to fruits of it. I’m not going into great detail but the Macbook Air is insanely thin.

On retuning home, I stopped by my new school to pay for registration. To my surprise the wanted to charge me 173 dollars a unit. This is a significant increase from the usual 20 dollars. That’s right, a 865% increase. Long story short, I didn’t qualify for residency. So I’m back at Santa Barbara City College, where coincidentally I qualify for residency.

Being a generally optimistic person, unlike this guy, I believe this was for the best. First, this school has a better video production program. And second, it’s closer to my new job. I now work at the front gate of a popular boating destination, Cachuma Lake! If you haven’t already guessed I’m employed by the state. I am now making double what I previously was being paid as a store clerk. The only downside is that as a Ranger Trainee I don’t receive benefits. (Which I already have thanks have thanks to my father)

Being that the stock market is a great mystery to mankind, I could invest my new found wealth. The only problem that is I have no idea how. I think I’ll put up a want ad for a financial adviser on Craigslist right next to the casual encounters section.

As for some music, this band is called Maritime. I found it this morning on iTunes in the recommendation section. Have a listen and tell me what you think.
