I just wanted to spend some time to talk about stuff that's going on.

This year has been pretty epic, especially the past 2 or so weeks, and especially with school.

On the school side, I have 3 Journalism classes, which have resulted in me writing for the univeristy paper as well as being a reporter and producer for the radio station.

I also started work study recently, which is a pretty fun job working for the mail room.


The radio station is a lot of fun. I had to write up scripts and record them for my radio class, but the station decided to keep me to do PSA's and shows.

Work study is also awesome. Been delivering packages to different buildings and forcing people to sign stuff.

I have also been going to the movies a ton, I think I went around 30 times already this year.

I'll update while we're at it.

I got laid off the best job I ever had.  The timing is good because my wife is popping out kid number three in April.  I already have two daughters, 4 and 2 years old, and my wife said she's intimidated to have all three at the same time by herself since the 4 year old isn't in school just yet.  Now I can stay home and run rampant with my daughters in the spring.  That's exciting for me.

I'm also getting in more exercise even without working at the gym.  I'm hitting my 100 push-ups a day, 400 sit-ups a day, plus I managed to grab a bench from my father in law so I can do fly and some other workouts I couldn't without being supported.  That, plus playing with my kids all day, every day, is letting me average around 17,000 steps on my Fitbit I stole from my wife.  She hasn't noticed yet.

I have my resume and generic cover letter but I'm not really looking for anything for another month or two.  Ideally, I'll last until June or July before I really have to think about getting a job.  I can't be a stay at home dad eternally because it's just not in my genes.  I volunteered at a local YMCA for a few hours today so I could get my adult interaction.  It was staffed by some very lovely ladies and I got to flirt with all of them while we did a project for their big Winter Auction to raise money to send kids to camp.  I'm helping the community and getting some time away from the girls.

Lastly, the flu has ripped through our house.  My 4 year old puked all over the place a week back and i got her showered, cleaned up, and stayed with her while she battled it out.  My wife felt like she was going to die for 48 hours this past weekend and my little one went through it this morning.  I got a flu shot but I feel like it's my turn and I"m ready to take it on while handling the home chores.

I laundried, did dishes, cleaned the floors and bathrooms, ran the girls around, paid some bills, went to the library, got our tax stuff set up, and I'm ready to roll for tomorrow.  All I need is some sleep, which I'm sorely lacking.

Insomnia for the win!

Wanted to do a little update to the update.

Everything in the original post is the same but so much more has happened.

Last Wednesday during a journalism class professor told me that the Sports Editor for the school newspaper retired and the main editor of the paper was walking by when he told me and he told me to come to a meeting on Tuesday (2 days ago)

I went and they voted me in as the new sports editor, which is so awesome and a lot of fun. (It's paid too)

This is literally the most I have ever done in school. In my last college the most I did outside of class in 2 and a half years was join a photography club for 3 weeks.
