this is how i’m doing: in case you were wondering…

I had my 1 year since LASIK surgery eye exam (more like a year and a month) today and I’m still seeing 20/20.  It wasn’t MY idea to pay 71 bucks for an optometrist to confirm what I already suspected — in order to keep my “lifetime warranty” I’ve got to get my eyes checked every year (which we all should do anyway… or so they say).

Anyway, no news on the big news just yet.  I CAN give you a hint though:  it may or may not involve space travel…

I went for a run yesterday because it had been entirely too long since my last run and I’m paying for that laziness today.  I might get out for a quick jog today; the weather is just too perfect to pass it up!

Quick survey please: From what I can gather, most of my readers either are in college (Uni for my international readers) or have graduated from college.  If this is you, could you answer a few questions for me?

Why did you choose the school you are at/graduated from?

When did you make this decision? (at what age or year in school)

Do you feel you received/are receiving a quality education in respect to what you paid/are paying? (Are you getting your money’s worth?)

This last one is for everyone:

What percentage of Americans do you think hold a 4-year degree? (Not looking for what google thinks on this one).

Your participation is greatly appreciated and may influence the timeliness of the revealing of my “big news”

I’ve been at UNT for a little over a year, but I’m not really feeling the “Mean Green” thing (although Jack, my office plant, has taken it on as his new nickname).  This is my little SFA Corner in my office.  Ax’em Jacks!

In other news, I went to my first Mavs game tonight with Tres (he’s got season tickets) and we watched them completely dominate Golden State.  At half time, we saw Dallas Cowboy’s reciever Patrick Crayton at the The Jack Daniel’s Old No. 7 Club.  He was sending a text message and we got to watch…

Just rented this movie on iTunes — totally worth it.

Well, I decided to upgrade my operating system — It came via Fedex today.  I’m still getting used to it all but already I can tell its better than XP.  It also came wrapped in a beautiful 15.4″ MacBook Pro ;-).  Yes, I’m one of *them* now and I think I like it.

So apparently my sore throat and tiredness were “symptoms” - today I came to grips with the fact that I was sick. I rolled out of bed this morning to type out an E-mail to my boss letting him know I would not be in today. I finally woke up around noon and proceeded to have a crummy day. I did get some E-mailing done and a little web work too. Feeling much better now. Is the week over yet??
