i'll never get out to...l.a.???

so it's the weekend. it's almost 4pm and i'm still at work. oh well, i get off soon. tonight is the u of i invite. if you are sitting at home reading this right now (and it's not past sunday), then get off your rear and come visit us. you are officially invited. my two bros are coming down to visit (the only single ones left) so it should be an awesome time.

ok, so i got this lead on a job. it's kind of more of an internship (paid). plus a training camp. 3 months in sunny irvine, cali for the camp and then a 1 year internship at some major metropolis of my choice (chi-town then phyx). at the end i'll be a senior level LAN/WAN engineer making pretty good money (it IS senior level). so i'm going to apply for that, so if you could all pray for me with that, i'd appreciate it. thanks.

last guy's done. i gotta go.

ring toe?

so i think i may have broken one of my toes on my right foot yesterday. and then i played sand volleyball for three hours. this marks the second time i have played sand volleyball with something possibly broken. last august, i played with a possibly broken nose and now my toe. i'm not sure what to call it. toes don't really have names like fingers do. if it were a hand, it'd be the ring phalange. here's a good picture:



also, i don't know if anyone noticed this, but i updated the look of my blog once again. it's hard to see it unless you're looking for it. if anyone cares to guess and find what it is, maybe i'll give a prize like a future blog post honoring you or a punch in the face or something. i'm also looking for a new background, so if the background changes, that isn't the new thing.

in work news, the mcat is over. in the end everything worked out fine. on saturday, i did have one short period where i couldn't find something that was needed for paperwork, but i found it. i was room supervisor with two proctors who had never worked the mcat before. but they're smart girls and they learned quickly. and i worked on sunday after church too. pretty much just sat with katrina (mann not stoller) and we did sudoku puzzles. good times, good times.

so volleyball was fun last night. we played for a whopping three hours of pure six-on-six. we had 17 people total, but we just rotated in. let's see if i can name everyone there:

from 709: Katrina Stoller, Jenny Wyss, Gab Roeschley
from 711: Jeremy Hodel, Jon Aupperle
from brown house: Brian Mariani, Matt Schrenk
from apt 5: Alyssa Leuthold
from apt 308: me
from stoughton: Loren Mogler
from apt 301: Michael Kaeb, Cameron Walder, Josh Steffen
from salt shaker: Bob Koch, Brian Sauder, Nic Rassi
from 9-to-5: Heather Messner

yep, that was it. i think i won all but one game and we played a lot of games. but it wasn't me, i credit it to heather and katrina (when the were on my team (i know, it shouldn't have been allowed)) and great teamwork. well, that's all i have for now.

schedule

it has been brought to my attention that i don't update my daily schedule often enough. after much discussion with myself, i have decided to drop the daily schedule and pick up the weekly schedule. i don't have enough specifics to fill each day so i'm just going to give you roughly what i'm doing. so starting monday, or sunday, or maybe even later today, you'll see the new schedule.

and yeah, i know. this is a pretty boring post. not very interesting, not very cool. as my daily schedule still shows, i will be spending most of the day at work and since i only have the internet, i'll probably be reading about css stylesheets and javascript. so maybe something cool will come out of that.

anyhoo, i hope everyone has a fantastic easter!

one more

ok, that's three of the four. there was one more announcement. it was kyle mckimmey (sp?) to someone i don't know. kudos to anyone that can name him.

also, check out my work project here: check it out! i've been working on it for the past week and it's a great exercise in html and css. major breakthroughs included image maps and css print styling. anyhoo, the basis of it is to show each building with possible testing rooms that we can use for national tests. my co-workers aren't as familiar with every building on campus as i am. so this is to show them where everything is. hint: click on areas of the maps to go deeper.

the first one

who knows if there'll be more, but here's the first result of kup's prediction: brent young to janelle schlipf. i thought it was odd the whole schlipf family would be in champaign to watch janelle lead the easter program. most family members come to watch their loved ones perform not lead. anyhoo, the announcement clarified all that. at last i knew, brent is moving down to phoenix in september so morgan, it looks like you guys will have a new couple down there. i'll tell you more as i know more.
