iTablet will cure cancer and people will like your more!

While I wait for the newest episode of Shameless to download and for Apple to release the glory that will be their new iTablet, iPad, iBook or whatever you want to call it. Why not update the blog?

I had a meeting with the head of the nursing department to discuss what I would have to do to become a nursing student. It was a very informative meeting and she told me a something I totally didn't even pay attention to at the time I applied to BSU. I would have to take a CNA course at the Tech school in town before I can apply for the nursing major my sophomore year at BSU. At first this news scared the shit out of me since there is a class this spring that I could take and get it out of the way but man, school so soon... Boo.
But after buying some food at the Co-op and buying some new kick ass Haus Schuhe I had calmed down enough to just process what a CNA is and what doors it could open up.

With a CNA I could get a job at a nursing home that would allow me to work hopefully around forty hours a week and still be a full time student. This is something I feel I wouldn't be able to do at CLV and it would just cause me more stress trying to get enough hours to pay my cost of living but also have time to go to school. Mind you this is all in the future so I am not really going to worry about it but it might be a good plan if it all comes together, it comes together and if not it's still a great cert to have. If I hate just getting my CNA I will know that being a nurse is going to be way to hard for me and can figure out what to do in the fall and get my general eds out of the way. Either way I am pretty sure I am signed up for the class and I am looking forward to going back to school for something after years off. If I can juggle my CNA class and work I should be golden for the next four years... right?

I bought Mass Effect 2 on opening night and so far it a pretty solid game  and feels more developed then the last Mass Effect plus you don't have to drive the fraking Mako around anymore which is more then enough to get me to do more while playing the game. You know longer have to run around looking for minerals on planets, now you scan for them and shoot off probes to stake your claim in minerals that you need to upgrade items. The combat system is now more like Halo then Mass Effect which has made it a bit harder for me since I am used to that sort of game play but I am getting used to it even if I have to replay the same events over and over again. Anyway enough blogging for now.

Sometimes...

I should just keep my mouth shut or sit on my hands cause most people don't have my sense of humour or understand it. In other news today wasn't as amazingly random as yesterday but I guess I am ok with that for now at least.

Went back to work today officially i.e. I wasn't called in to cover someone else's shift and it was a a nice eight hours shift at the Skogfjorden which is always nice espeically when it's for a Norsk programmer and I get to eat Jarlsberg and Gjetost cheese both of which I haven't had in month. I really love family programme at work there is nothing like hearing the language of the village being spoken by young and old over good food and stories, it's really a great way to learn any language I think. Now if Tove was there that would just make my weekend but I get to see her enough in the summer.

 I am on second two of Doogie Howser M.D. and I have around ten hours left of Mass Effect and then I'll be ready for Mass Effect 2... Ah yes I love my nerdyness at times, cause really the trailers for Mass Effect 2 just look ridiculous and I need something to escape to every now and again even though I really should but whatever that's just old hat by now in my life.

Oh I am trying to fund raise for R.T. Rybak

It's kind of hard to fund raise when there are so many great people running that and 7% unemployment in the state make it hard for people who are hard core political addicts like myself to care at this point. I also think there is a bit of fatigue in most Americans in politics right now since nothing seems to be getting done on anything and no one is really coming together on any thing. It's able about the now and never about the future it seems and though that might work for living ones life I am not so sure about governing a people. That said I am still ever hopefully that some day everyone will realize that when there is a common goal for everyone to work for real change can happen. I voted for Obama and I am very proud of that vote! So far he's been a pretty great president compared to Bush and I wish him the best of luck on his next three years in office.

One last thought, if no one mocked Rush Limbaugh for saying obvious stupid and phoney bull shit would he go away? At times I wonder if he just saying things to get the press to listen to him for a while. It's like a child that wants the attention of it's parents and therefore does something it shouldn't just to get a seconds of attention.
