I initially began this blog with the intention of eventually writing a book about my adventures, and achieving life goals. I have established goals, and a notebook that I carry with me and write in when internet access is not readily available. (Surprisingly, this happens more often than not.) So far, I've managed to rant a little, rave a little more, and be angry at the world the most. Things, presently, appear to be getting back on track, however. Or... so it appears, anyway.

While I am uncertain if anyone reads this, I think it will be most useful if I dedicate 10 minutes a day, if only for myself. It will help, at least, to maintain my writing ability, and maybe my memory.

On the upside,  I have finally gotten in touch with a human (yes, a real, live, breathing, non-electrical person) at the Technical College in town regarding my DUI classes. I am quite excited about this. As it turns out, a newer employee of the college had mis-filed (new word of the evening) my registration forms. This, as a result, made my contact at the Tech unaware of what was happening with me. I noted that the paperwork had been sent in nearly a month ago, and she still seemed confused. Upon looking back through the computer, she determined that the check had been cleared, and the registration form misplaced. I really need all of this to become taken care of; as of February 16th, it will be. I'm quite excited about this.

The beagle rests beside me, snoring under a blanket next to me as I'm feeling quite congested and head-cold- tastic. I've had the opportunity to re-connect with old friends, and rekindle old relationships over the last few days. It has been quite wonderful. Megan from Montana arrived in town. To my surprise, Ian the Cowboy was also in Appleton. We got some wonderful lunch! I then caught up with other, even older pals. There were even friends from high school in town over the New Years holiday. I got coffee with Nate, and played with his wonderful beagle/blue heeler cross. His dog, as it turns out, is actually very cute. Sort of funny lookin', but it seems like a neat pooch.

Regardless, I believe that I should go. My head is beginning to feel cloudy with snot. I hope you're (?) feeling better than me!
