Where, indeed. It has been very long since I blogged. Under any other circumstance, I'd chalk it up to typical laziness, but for once, I'm actually busy!
Work's work. While I do spend much of my day streaming television at work, I use two monitors, so I actually do work while I have something else streaming on another screen. Usually it's television I've missed or just plain music. Whatever the case, I've been relatively busy at work.
Grad school is tiring. You would think, that taking one class wouldn't be so bad...but the amount of reading and work that goes into the one class is so tiring. Couple that with a full time job and other activities I got going on outside of work, and I constantly feel like I'm grasping for free time.
Soccer. Soccer season is in full gallop. The two kids teams I coach occupy Mon-Thu evenings after work with practices. I'm typically not free until 7 PM every weeknight except for Friday. Then on Saturdays and Sundays, my mornings and middays are basically closed because of the kids' soccer games. Throw in my coed football team that I play on Saturdays occasionally with, and my coed VT alumni soccer team that I occasionally play on Sundays with...and my weekends are basically done.
On top of all that, my personal laptop has finally died. After 8 glorious years, the old man gave up. I'm currently shopping for a new one, and leaning towards a Dell XPS Studio 16. Until I get it though, don't expect to see me online except during working hours (which in my case happens to be 7 AM - 3:30 PM Mon-Fri).
Lastly, for those of you who have like 5-10 free minutes everyday, here's a neat online game that has been spreading amongst my friends like the plague. It's super easy to get started, and rather addicting once you get into it. Best part of the game is it only takes about 5-10 minutes of your day each day if you decide to be active in it.
