Then and now ^_^

So I'm ending my second month at Cogswell College in Sunnyvale, CA. The school is amazing, the people are more amazing, and what I've learned so far has already helped me immensely. I landed a job at the local Sears, selling televisions no less, and have a full schedule. Tuesdays I have class from 10am to 7pm almost nonstop,. Thursday I have class from 10am to 4pm, Friday I have class from 10am to 6pm and on every school day my commute is three hours round trip x.x Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Wednesday I work. It has been hectic and crazy and stressful and I LOVE IT. :D

I just got back from BlizzCon 2010 in Anaheim, CA. My dad and I drove down last Thursday morning and made the trip home overnight on Saturday. The con was GLORIOUS! I met Sam 'Samwise' Didier, Chris Metzen, Richard A. Knaack, and Oxhorn once again. Fruit Dealer did a live Starcraft II exhibition game, Tenacious D played the closing concert, and there were miles and miles of beautiful digital art for me to drool over. I'm excited for the new World of Warcraft expansion Cataclysm, as well as Diablo 3 and the SC2 mod maps. I got a signed copy of Knaack's new book, a badass shirt, and a deathy murloc pet for my level 80 tauren druid. FOR THE HORDE!!!

Thing's have been steadily getting better. I really can't complain about much, other than lack of sleep from my full schedule, but I feel like I'm finally being rewarded for all the things I've had to suffer through. My belief in karma is reaffirmed and I relish the blessed life I've been living lately. I don't have all my ducks in a row yet and I certainly don't have all the answers, but I feel as though everything will just work itself out and I no longer have to worry.

I'll be wearing my maid cafe outfit to school for Halloween this year, and it appears I'll be going to Great America's HAUNT this weekend with a mob of friends. I don't have much to say other than:

"I like life
Life likes me
Life and I fairly fully agree
Life is fine
Life is good
'Specially mine, which is just as it should be
I like pouring the wine and why not?
Life's a pleasure that I deny not

I like life
Here and now
Life and I made a mutual vow
'Till I die
Life and I
We'll both try to be better somehow" 

Brownie points if anyone ever guesses what that's from! I'll just leave you with a piece of art from Samwise which is a tribute to Fruit Dealer's Starcraft II win in the Global Finals:

Bananalisk, Applelord, and Grapeling ;D
