Hey guys. I had a pretty good birthday today. Things were a little exciting around here today. I woke up as normal and headed to class. I had a test for that class (Buisness Comms) but it was actually fairly easy so I was done in about 30 minutes or less. So I just went back to my room and studied and had my devotions and stuff. I also don't have my 9:25 class so I had a good almost three hours today that I didn't have to do anything for. It was pretty nice. I managed to get a lot done homework wise and other items I needed to take care of as well. Once time came around for me to head to my second class for the day I was most done with everything I needed to do. My second class (aviation) starts at 10:50 and so once we got there and started to have class the power ended up going out campus wide at around 11:10 today. That made things interesting for class because the room we are in for aviation is window free so when the power went out.. we're talking pitch black. A few of us took out our cell phones and kind of lit up the room for a bit. But after 10 minutes of waiting and still not getting any lights, the teacher just let us leave early. So today it turns out I only had about an hour worth of cumulative class time. That was a good birthday huh? Anyway since classes were all cancelled I had some extra time to spare for the day. Allie ended up calling me up and she wanted so see if we could go out and do something just for fun since it is my b-day. The dinning hall was closed because of the power outage too, so we ended up just going to get some taco bell for lunch and then we drove downtown and just sat in the car and ate next to the river. We kind of just talked, and we ended up engaging in a pretty important conversation while we were there. By the time we had to leave I think we managed to cover all that we had needed to for the time being. The drive back to campus to get Allie's car was a little quieter though. But after getting back to campus I dropped her off and we headed our different directions to work for the day. Rather then going straight to the shop today though, I had to go directly to a service call. I ended up being at that place until around 3:30 before I could finally head back to the shop. It went pretty smoothly though & I was able to get everything fixed they needed me to. Once I got back to the shop I ended up finding out the power had gone out a few times on the guys there because someone next door was working with the electricity. The electrical problems there ended up causing other computer problems for us as far as a few things being dammaged in the surges. It was kind of dissapointing because Andy was a little uptight today because of the problems. I don't blame him though, but still when that happends I feel like I need to be extra good and not screw anything up at all. I mangaged to do ok today without messing anything up. After work I ended up having to close up. While I was closing up I ended up getting two phone calls from people wishing me a happy b-day. One was from Jessica and another from my sister. It was great that they called because it was nice to talk to them - but it kind of slowed down my closeup process at the shop. I didn't end up getting out of there until around 6:30. Not that big of a deal though.. it was good to talk for a bit with them. After finally leaving work I headed right over to the Donnebergs house for the evening. They had just got a new computer, so I was going over there to get them all setup with it. It ended up looking like a pretty good computer and I think they will really enjoy it. I had a small problem with setup and stuff with it, but I eventually got it resoved and they are now up and running with it. I had finished pretty much just in time for Allie and I to leave and make it back to campus for our 10:00 curfew tonight. But since the power had gone out I decided to call and make sure we were still doing hall meeting with the power out and stuff. It turns out they had cancelled the meeting for tonight and moved our curfew back to 12:00. That was really exciting because I didn't want to leave.. I wanted to hang out for awhile longer over at thier house. Allie and I ended up watching a few episodes of American Idol on my laptop since we had that extra "relax" time. It was great. Britt ended up coming home from work shortly after 10:00 so she joined us watching it as well. Once the shows were over we decided to head back though. I still had stats homework to do and Britt & Allie had some other project they needed to come back and work on. So we all headed back to campus in our separate vechicles and that was cool because Allie and I were able to park in the pit while we could then hop in Britt's car and she drove us back up near our dorms. That was pretty cool so we didn't have to walk all that way. Anyway, I finally managed to get my homework done after getting here and having to turn all my computers back on and setup all my clocks again and stuff. But now I think I need to go to bed. I'm pretty sleepy. So good night!
