Forgetting To Blog

Obviously, I have all but forgotten about my blogger account. There is no way I would be able to update on what has happened between October 2010 and now and not leave some things out. Nor do I have the time. A lot has happened. Memorable moments include:
I am still working as a dispatcher, and I still enjoy it a lot. Christmas 2010 was great, as is every Christmas. It's my favorite time of year. Snow deserves mention on the list as well. We've had a load of that since October. Classes were cancelled at Northwest for not 1, not 2, but 3 consecutive days. That is unheard of. Needless to say, students were pretty excited. But then we realized we were stuck at our appartments for 3 days. Even though no one wanted to go back to class, everyone was relieved to have something to do. I joined the praise band at the BSU. Love to make music. I play the bass every Thursday night now. I traded in my electric guitar and a little cash to make up the difference for a beautiful black Dean acoustic bass guitar and hard case. Easily the best large purchase I've made in a while. I could count the days that I have not picked it up on one hand. My birthday arrived. A bunch of my friends and I stayed in my hometown and hung out, then went to WinterJam 2011 at the Sprint Center in Kansas City. It was awesome. There were people who were not able to get in - it was at capacity. Luckily, we got there early. Also, my parents helped me recently purchase a Ruger GP100 revolver in .357 Magnum. Since it was my 21st birthday, it is now legal for me to purchase a hand gun. So I did. Still waiting on the correct gun to arrive at the dealer in Maryville, but I'm pretty excited about it! This brings us to present, skipping more than a few things, I'm sure.
Now that it's warming up outside (finally!), I have been back to the Nodaway Humane Society to walk dogs a few times. This is something I greatly enjoy.
I will be graduating in December if all goes as planned, so trying to find a place to live proved to be a little tricky, so as to not have to pay for a year lease when my roommate and I would only be there for half a year or so. We got lucky and found out one of our friends' parents have a house and he is the only one living in it for next year. Now there are 3 of us, likely another 2. With that many people, rent will be around $150/person, which is nice compared to our $225 this year.
I received an internship position with Maryville Parks and Recreation for this summer. I will mostly be supervising/helping with events that MPR does throughout the summer. Scheduling umpires and referees, unlocking equipment sheds, and anything else they instruct me to do. I am looking forward to it; I really enjoy outdoors/sports, so it's the perfect internship (and I get credit for it so I can graduate). I've also been asked to help with recreation at church camp this summer for a week, which I am looking forward to! Always a great time at Grand Oaks.
Spring Break is coming up beginning Saturday. The BSU is taking their annual mission trip this year to Stillwater, OK. Not exactly sure yet on what we'll be doing, but it will be awesome, of that I have no doubt. When we return, I will update on how that went.
Now that I'm once again in touch with blogger, maybe I won't wait so long until I write again. Time will tell.
