Well, I took sometime this afternoon to set my moblog up. So what is a moblog you ask? A moblog is short for “mobile blog”. With a simple click of the camera and a MMS (multimedia message) sent to a special address, I can post to my blog from anywhere I have mobile service. Pretty cool eh? Also on the mobile front, I have added my WAP site (WAP is for mobile phone browsers) and you can access most content of this site (about me, courses, etc) from the site and even download some wallpapers for your mobile too. If you have a mobile phone with internet, point it to http://tagtag.com/webbyaquatics from your web browser.

Well, I have just been swamped over the last week or so. I have one major midterm exam tomorrow night for Elements of Film. It’s on 12 or so films plus 4 chapters in a text book and then class notes. It’s going to be a fun one I’m sure. I’ve been studying all day today and yesterday evening after I got off of work. Yesterday I had to sit through two required trainings at work (Core Values 101 and Member Involvement) and then had to run a lifeguard challenge. Next week I wont be working at the YMCA on saturdays anymore as I am starting a lifeguard training class here at Eckerd so I will see my very little open time dwindle again for two weekends. Well, I am off to get a good night sleep for my test tomorrow and so I can get up early to get to my internship by 07:00a. Catch you around later this week.

Well, this week has come and gone. i have been so busy with homework that I haven’t had time for much else. Working tomorrow and Saturday with major studying for Mid-Terms this weekend as well. Taking a friend to the airport in the morning so for now, it’s off to bed.

Well, this afternoon with my homework for tomorrow out of the way and a start on the projects for the week, my friend andrew and I decided to make a trip up to Disney World at about 2:30 this afternoon. This was a much needed break for me with my crazy schedule lately and then fire alarms going off the last several nights due to drunk idiots that think it’s funny. Anyways, Andrew made Disney a blast since he worked there doing the WDW College Program that I want to do next fall. I learned a lot about the operations of the park that most tourists do not. We did the new Mickey’s Philarmagic at Magic Kingdom (a must) and Splash Mountain before heading over to the Food and Wine Festival at EPCOT (the main reason for going). Once at EPCOT, we hit up Mission Space and then went to get food from South Africa, Canada, and Norway before riding Mission Space another time and then heading back to Eckerd. What a great break from the crazy week. Now off to bed for my internship in the morning at Lakewood High.

Well folks, today is another slow day here in Florida. This week in general has been slow. Not much really going on. I did not make the cut for the London Winter term which was a bummer but, International Education is working with me to find an internship in London instead. I think this could be a better choice in the long run. I am working later tonight from 18:00 – 22:00 and then in the morning from 9:00 – 12:00 so tonight wont be super crazy. Just finished reprograming all the Amazon.com ASIN numbers for items on this site as they updated their system and changed all the numbers on me. Oh joy. Oh for those the missed it, Apple’s iTunes is now available for Windows! Check it out!

Today I got my Bend it Like Beckham DVD and I just finished watching it. I absolutely love this movie. There is nothing better than it in my opinion. If you haven’t seen it, go see it!

Well, i got back safely last night. I had a great time this weekend at home in MN and I can’t wait to get back again in December. Finalizing a group powerpoint right now and about to go get my mail. it’s strange going from cold to warm in a matter of hours. Oh well.

So I left Florida for the weekend hoping to get out of the rain but it turns out it just followed me over to Minneapolis. Saw Grandma and Grandpa today and thene njoied my second dinner out since being home. Also got a chance to hit up South Dale and check out the Apple Store. The fall colors are simply amazing here. I hope to try and get some pictures so I can show you all what I am talking about. Well, I’m off to bed. Church is early in the morning. Catch you all later.

It’s official. I am now on break till next Wednesday. I can’t wait to be home tomorrow. It has been a rough and busy week for me. So I’ll post from MN tomorrow night or this weekend.
