Frustration... Anxiety...Excitement...

Sounds intriguing, right?

Let's go down the list.

Frustration :
William Paterson's International Studies office, sucks. Secondly, New Jersey's "way" of handling applications, sucks. Put 2 and 2 together, and I'm frustrated as hell at the fact that I have to wait an extra 3 weeks to find out if I'm accepted into my program of choice of Barcelona b/c it's an ass-backwards process. Fan. Fucking. Tastic.

Anxiety :
This semester will either prove to myself, that I can handle a large workload along with a large chunk of my time spent working (making $), AND extra-curricular actives ; or I'll fall flat on my face as I hopefully board a plane to Spain. Either way, I'm nervous/anxious as hell about what I'm taking on this October and November.

I'm scared I will fail terribly in my sales classes, even though this semester's schedule has made me happier than ever with what I've chosen to do regarding my choice of major and my future post-college. The sales challenge is something I KNOW i can do well at, it's just executing that has me queezy at times.

Due to my AC trip ( which will be explained in greater detail at the end of this post..), I'm working close to 25-30 hours a week to try to make a nice G for Cards... This may seem nothing compared to what other students do, but for myself, working 30 hours a week, plus Sigma Pi, plus RA'ing etc... I'm impressed with the workload i've accumulated, but at the same time, know it's a daunting task and one which will help define my character/work-ethic if I follow through with everything.

Excitement :
It's finally official. I , along with Rob and Joe, and whoever else decides to trek down to AC for my bday, are going to be there from Nov 7 (friday) - Nov 10th (monday). Yes, Friday-Monday. What's that mean? I'm paying a lot for my hotel for that weekend, yes. But more importantly, there are AT LEAST 2 nights where people can come down and celebrate the fact I'm legal. Also, the oppurtunity to be able to say "I saw / knew Greg De Jesus when he wasn't a degenerate gambler" is very possible.

Anyway, We'll be down there from friday morning till mon morning. We are staying at the Showboat the entire time. The only minor snag up, is the fact I'm so broke, I can only afford a room for myself /w Rob/Joe. This means, if you decide to come down, unfortunately plan on finding a place to crash that most likely, isn't my room's floor. I'm not 100% on Rob/Joe's feelings, so I'll have to pass it by them if we're going to have any "crash" space. Regardless though, I HIGHLY suggest that if you are coming, find someone else (or 3 or 4 people) to split a room wtih.. It IS Atlantic City on a weekend, so any boardwalk casino/hotel's will atleast be 200 a night.. there are always the Motels/Hotels off the strip that can be had for around 100 a night, so do some research if your coming down. Again, i'm sorry I'm not baller enough to host people, but I hope it doesn't deter anyone from coming to celebrate and have a fcuking awesome time down there with me.

Also, the general plan seems to be, to do one Birthday Dinner down there either Fri or Sat. night. If you're interested or definitely planning on coming down, please drop me a line with which day your coming down and I can get a general idea of what day is best to make a reservation somewhere on the Strip. Most likely afterthe dinner, hit up Casbah or one of the clubs down there to get in my required night of fist pumping per NJ rules.

Hm... what else...

Oh... Mary, aka best friend from Vernon, requested to be in this blog. I'VE GOT FANS! Haha. I feel for the young lady though.. she's an employee @ Weis's in Kutztown, and it's fucking idiot central. Poor sap.

Hit me up with questions/ideas etc for AC...
