Well, in the weeks I’ve been back in Billings, I’ve had some good times. It’s been good to see the family and friends here. I hope to see a few more in the next week before I have to head back to Butte and get ready for classes.

This will be my last semester in college and it should be a great one. Not only with classes but also my part-time job prospect and the three competitions I have. Of course I have the BPA state, and most likely the national as well (This year in Dallas) and this year, I’m also participating in a network security competition that is an invitational in South Dakota.

I was looking for plane tickets for the South Dakota trip from Butte… approx. 440 with taxes for just the plane ride round trip, a total of 6 hours traveling time and we go from Butte to Salt Lake City to Minneapolis to Sioux Falls. This spring should be fun.

Now I just need to find a job for when I graduate.

I’m in Colorado Springs now, I like this town. I partyied it up with my brother-in-laws friends from the military and it was a great time. It looks like I might be late for class on Monday though. The roads are not so great.

Personal

I’m heading to Denver for the weekend and I’m pretty excited for it. I’m there for a wedding, but I’ll also be going out to the clubs when I’m there. Anyone know of anything I should do when I’m down there?

Work

Work is, well, work. I have met some cool people that make the night go by faster (well, at least not as boring). Maybe I can get something together where we can all chill one night/weekend not at work.

School

I don’t have many classes, but things are still getting crazy. With my cisco class, I’m finding it hard to remember to take the damned test (they are online and we take them when convient). I typically remember Sunday afternoon (they run from Monday to Sunday until around 11).

Projects

I’ve been working with django for the registration site. I have a long ways to go, but I hope to get most of it done in the car ride this weekend. I could probably crank this out in php, but I really want to get better with django/python (they just released a new version of python, version 2.6).

I finished up with the Cutbird website and will be launching the store sunday night. I think it’ll be successful for my cousin. As far as my job goes, it’s a job. I can’t complain too much because it is paying for school.

Despite being really screwed up (injured) from the last time I went real spelunking, I’m excited to go again. I need some better shoes though.

Now that I’m back in butte and almost ready for school, I’m going to need to find a job. I’m not totally sure where I’m going to find one, but I certainly could use the money.

I am now officially back in Butte. I’m slowly working on cleaning up this place and un-packing. And this is me procrastinating it. Well, off to work again.

Well, now that the bachelors party and wedding is all over, I’m exhausted. During the caving experience, I beat myself up quite a bit, mostly scrapes and bruises but I’m fairly positive I’ll be loosing one of my thumbnails because I squashed it between two rocks. Now I get to plan when I move back to Butte and gear up for school.

Well, in the next week or so, I have a bachellors party to attend, a wedding to be a grooms man and dj, and tie up some loose ends here in Billings before I head up to Butte for the winter.

On a compleatly unrelated note, I’m diggin the movie Four Rooms. I haven’t seen it for quite a while and it’s on showtime

Well, we went up for a hike and did glacier lake. It was quite the hike. the actual distance was around 3 miles, but the elevation gain was insane. I didn’t remember to take my camera, but the view was pretty fenominal.

Well, I’m about to head out to Butte. This should be a fun weekend, just kickin it and experiencing Knievel Days.
