…what's worse than packing?

Yeah, I’ve been packing up everything I own…and this is no small task… Bear in mind that I’ve lived here for 3 years now…and I’ve been collecting an insane amount of stuff throughout that time, most of which I’m throwing away (or giving to Nathan and Jerry for their new place…). I had to figure out how to take apart my desk again today, had to unplug all of the electronics in my room (a small fire hazard…), remove the stuff from my closet (I officially have too many clothes…), and am finding live dust bunnies under my bed (never seen one? they’re like jackalopes, but without horns and their made from dust…no…seriously…).

So yeah, the other part of this is that I’m going to have to disconnect the web server on Thursday morning and transport it to Columbia, where it will remain until after the wedding…whenever I can come pick it up… We won’t have DSL set up in St. Louis until after the wedding’s done, so we need an internet connection for the server to operate… Therefore, the server will be down for most of Thursday while I take it down there, set it up, etc….I’m sure you’re all worried…but you’ll live…

Oh…and Batman Begins starts tomorrow…and I’m ever so excited… 😉

DMB rocks my figurative face off!

So yeah, the concert was great, as always… They played, like, 9 of the songs off their new album. Don’t get me wrong, it was great to hear the new songs in a live setting, but at the same time, I would have liked to hear some of their older stuff, too (although, the older stuff they did play was awesome as always). It’s always amusing to see lots of drunk/high college kids surrounding you (20,000 of them…), but not quite as amusing to see hippies with their young children dancing around…and smoking…

I decided that next Friday (June 10th) will be my last day with ITS so I can spend that last week packing before the move (June 18th) to St. Louis. Should free up some time and allow me to head down to Columbia to visit people (Ben Arnet should be around, I’m told…), as well as head wherever I need to in order to get my apartment, wedding, school stuff figured out. It’s all coming down to the wire and it’s kinda starting to freak me out… I’ll be switching to a St. Louis cell phone number at the end of the month too, so that will be weird too…let alone the whole “married” thing… 😛

Updates and such…

So yeah, as of last Saturday, I have a B.S. in Biology and Chemistry (now officially, since grades are posted and I apparently graduated…). For now, I’ll continue working at the HelpDesk here at Truman until ~June 17th, when I’ll start worrying about getting all my stuff moved to St. Louis so I can start graduate school at Saint Louis University beginning July 1st. Also, I’ll be getting married June 25th in Hannibal… Yeah, things are changing rather quickly…

Otherwise, I’ll be going home to Columbia for Memorial Day weekend so I can go to Stu and Angela’s wedding. His bachelor party last Friday night was rather fun as well, consisting of frisbee golf, dinner at Flat Branch, and a lot of Halo 2…the best bachelor party ever… 😉
