So Far, So Good
Well, it's been two weeks since school began, and I'm actually doing pretty good, I have been doing my homework (which I didn't use to do even when I had free time), I haven't missed a single class and I'm buying new textbooks instead of just copying the pages I need, and best of all, I'm reading the textbooks and am learning things that not even the teacher can teach me. And even though I sleep 5 hours on weekdays, I have been going at full energy, lol. And as of work, I started coming on saturdays too, which sucks, but I need the money to pay the money I borrowed for school, so I can't complain. Overall I'm feeling good about myself right now, although I barely have time to do anything, cause I get up to go to school and then I just have time to eat between school and work, but I will do anything at my disposal to not drop out of school again.

School begins...
Ok, it's August 6th and today is the first day of school... yeah, I know what you're thinking, that sucks, and I couldn't agree more. It's 2:10am and I have to get up at 6am and be in school at 7am, yup, for some reason I can't sleep, and I find myself using the computer wich makes it much worse, cause it won't make me sleepy at all, but the opposite, I'll probably sleep like 1 hour, but that has happened to me every first day of school since like high school, and it's not that I'm excited, just wondering what school can bring this new semester, if I really am going to like it, or if it's just going to be like a place I go to because I have to, and not because I want to... but yeah, I'm going to try and sleep a little bit, becuase when I get off school I have to go to work, and that lasts till midnight, so I will only be sleeping like 5 hours a day (yeah, that's too little for me, I have to sleep at least 8 hours)...

The last of my Summer
Yeah, it's been a while since I last posted in here, but what the hell. The most interesting thing that I've done in all my year by far is going to Phoenix to the Ozzfest and then see Dream Theater the very next day, and yeah, the Ozzfest was free, so it was like meant by all the gods, lol. Anyway, Since we were going to spend at least two days in Phoenix, but we also wanted to go to the mall and downtown Phoenix, so we stayed there for 3 days, which meant I had to miss work, of course.
The week before that (July 16th-20th), I had to work like a slave so that I wouldn't be affected for not going to work almost all week, so I started doing 14-15 hour shifts for like 4 days, cause on top of that, there was and still is a shitload of work, and the project manager keeps calling everybody to go to work on sundays and shit like that, that's why she almost killed me when I told her I was going to be away for three days, but I managed to survive, lol. But yeah, after working my ass of that week, the weekend finally came.
It's saturday night (July 21st), and I was invited to Chuy's parents "bodas de plata", and there I am all dressed up (something that does not happen very often), and I went with my girlfriend, Mari, Lisa, my mom and my aunt Martha, and Chuy and Angelica were already there. It was the perfect night to make fun of Mari and Angelica, cause they never get dressed up, and they feel uncomfortable, lol, but yeah, they looked pretty nice, but not as nice as me, lol, just kidding Mari. It was a great night, at this pretty nice salon in Juarez, and everybody looked super nice.
Finally, monday came, we left for Phoenix at like 3am on Tuesday so we could make it to the whole Ozzfest (July 24th). It was Kevin, Brenda, Mundo, Mari & me on the way to Phoenix in Kevin's Mitsubishi Lancer '05, I fell asleep for like half of the trip cause I hadn't slept so well, and we got there at like 9am, and the show started at noon, so yeah, we had to wait for a while, and everybody thought that we were going to burn to death, cause it's Phoenix and it's the middle of summer, but it was raining when we got there, which was pretty cool for waiting in line. A lot of cool bands played, I didn't know most of them, but some of them were pretty cool. When the bands started playing it started to get hot as hell, and we only saw 4 of them, and listened to the rest of the second stage from a little "resgint place" we found. The second stage was Hatebreed, Behemoth, Ankla, Circus Diablo, The Showdown, 3 Inches of Blood, Daath, In This Moment & Chthonic. Nile was supposed to be there, but they couldn't make it or something, so they didn't play, that sucked ass. Anyway, it was time for the main stage and this band Lordi played, and I know everybody has their tastes in music, but most of the poeple at the Ozzfest can agree with me when I say, Lordi totally sucks. This is when Angelica and Chuy arrived, and then came Static X, next was Lamb of God (it was my 3rd time seeing them) and Brenda started feeling sick or something so Mari and Kevin took her to the hotel so they missed the rest of the show, and at last Ozzy Osbourne, second time seeing him, and it was still pretty damn cool. The Ozzfest was over and I was exhausted for standing for that much time and we ate and went to sleep.
Next day we went to the Arizona Mills Mall, and compared to the Malls I've seen, it was pretty cool, but the best part was the IMAX theater, I never imagined it would be so cool, damn, I wish there was one here in Juarez, but yeah, that's a long way. If you haven't been to one, GO!!! See a 3D movie, they're the best, but yeah. After that we went to the Dream Theater show, we arrived a little late, but the tickets were numbered so it was ok, but we missed most of Into Eternity, and I had an extra ticket cause my brother couldn't make it, so I took time to try and return it, but they wouldn't want to, so yeah, wasted money, but I had two seats to my own, lol. Next was Redemption, I like this band, though I only started listening to them when I heard they were supporting Dream Theater, and I liked them so it was cool. But then the moment of truth came, the very same reason I had gone all the way to Phoenix, the lights went out and a street light that was hanging from the stage flashed green, we all knew it was about to start, and indeed, it did. They played Constant Motion, Panic Attack, Blind Faith, Surrounded, The Dark Eternal Night, Jordan Rudess played a solo, Lines In The Sand, Another Day, The Spirit Carries On, In The Presence Of Enemies, and for the encore they played a medley of New Millenium/Finally Free/Learning To Live/In The Name Of God/Octavarium. Best show ever... well after GIGANTOUR, yup.
The next day we went downtown, just walking around, getting to know the city a little bit, and the final stop was the Hard Rock Cafe, and hell was it expensive, Kevin had to buy my food cause I didn't have any money left, lol, yeah, Kevin is awesome. And then we left for El Paso, now it was Chuy, Angelica and me in Angie's Honda Civic Coupe '07, beautiful car, and the rest in Kevin's, and in the way we stopped at this place that was full of gigantic rocks that seemed to be placed carefully there by something or someone, and it was pretty cool, we found a little structure that was unfinished, and that's odd cause, who would want to build something there, but yeah, back in El Paso we had some fireworks and they were pretty cool, we were standing in the middle of nowhere, lol, but on the highway, then we got home and I came back to Juarez, yup, that's the story about Phoenix, and that's about all I've done since my last post, and I'm going back to school next monday, can't wait.
