day 10 august 8


ok so i was sitting in bed taking a nap when i had a half awake dream thing. i was making a violin on the island at central. so i woke up i thought why not make a violin at central. if i stop watching cartoons and looking up usless stuff on the internet i could easily make a violin during the course of a semester. also i could arrange to have access to the equipment in the basment of the art building. i would also have access to orchestra people. so if i take what i have here with me to central along with some othere stuff (no tv, and no big computer, no mountain bike) i should have plenty of room in the car to bring the tools i need. also i will be in the basement so i can make alot more noise than i used to in my room before disturbing any one. so that is the plan.

I hardly used the mountain bike last semester because the trail was always so wet and the tv was only a destraction and i don't need the big computer now that i am used to using th laptop. furthure more since i will be use to living with no more than what will fit in a suitcase i will need even less stuff than previous years. i may be able to live with out a fridge or a microwave but i liked having those things last year so i'll take them next semester.

it dawned on last weekend that i'm a senior and i have to get a job lined up sometime in the next 10 months. i'm still not sure what i want to do. i would like to work for facilities maintence but the pay is probably not enough to pay off my college loans any time soon. also i think i would need to get more training. i'm not sure how likly i am to get hired in that feild with out expirience. i think i would like to work at central but then again im not sure about any of the specifics and being the INTP i am i'm afraid of making decisions with out being totaly informed. i also considered going to school and becoming a boiler technition because that feild is always in high demand and i could work standard preventative maintence and have good job security. i also considered buying a house and renting out half of it. or renovating houses. or cabnet making. or even going to dakota county tech and becoming a work site manager. any way i doubt that the central staff will be to use to helping college graduates get blue colar jobs most college graduates are "to good" to do physical labor. i guess i enjoy it becuase i like the satisfaction of seeing the results of my work. were as white colar jobs you work all day and still have no idea how much you got done.

i tried to use my credit card today to get a bottle of water in a gas sattion and the lady looked at me seriously and said "du mochtest ein trink kaufen mit ein karte? bist du veruckt?" ("you want to buy a drink with a credit card? are you crazy?") i said "nien" then she explained how a purchace had to be over 10 euros for me to use a credit card so i said ok and handed her 2 euro coins. now i have a bottle that i can use to hold water which is what i was after in the first pplace but i don't know if the card works or not yet.

tomarrow i plan on going to a movie in the evening in german with subtitles in german and thats the extent of my plan. i took some rolls out of breakfast this morning and i had a snack and a bigger dinner than ussual i think i will continue doing it especially this week end so i will have lunch in bretten.

any way im tired and i have to do homework tomarrow morning so i'm going to bed
