I got back into UCF!!! I am back in and I am now signed up for two classes. I am limited to two classes per semester but that's good enough for me. Once I get my UCF GPA up I can take more but two for now is enough. I have to drive over to UCF three days a week which really blows but it's three gallons per round trip which isn't to bad.

Speaking of travel, my TDI either has a blown head gasket or a cracked head. I'm hoping for the head gasket. Hopefully it'll all be fixed up in the next week or two. Along with that I should be getting a few more things done. Next week the car gets lots of work. :)

I asked a chick out today. OMG OMG OMG. I worked with this chick at the zoo last week with one of my students and she was cool so this week I knew I was working with her again and she was still cool so I asked to see if she wanted hang out some time. :) I got a number. OMG!!!

So that's a quick update. I gotta get going to work. :(

Woowoo

Good and bad news. First the good. I'm back in UCF as of yesterday when I get the acceptance letter. Woohoo!! Bad news, I got the bill from just the hospital so far and it's 17.4k dollars. LAWL. That doesn't include the doctors bills. So I'm probably looking at about 24-25k dollars. My dad and I are working now and breaking apart the bill to see how much everything is overpriced and my dad is going crazy with the whole legal aspects and seeing what way we can attack it.

Today was my first day back at work and boy did it make me feel better. It's kind of weird how that works. Any ways. I'm off to Orlando now to spend tomorrow with the friends. Peace out.

This is my second receipt/fill up that I've had in my TDI. As you can see I went a total of 600.4 miles says the trip counter and the receipt says that I used a total of 13.18 gallons. That comes out to roughly 45.55 miles per gallon. This was with a combination of highway and city driving. I used all this in about a week. I went to Orlando twice which is a 70-80 mile trip one way and then I used the car to go to and from work all week.

As for the price of diesel. It blows but hey... it's only 17% more in cost of the fuel for 100% more in gas mileage. I think that says it all. People are always like. But it costs more! The extra cost doesn't out do the extra miles you get, not by a long shot. As for cost per mile. This last tank cost me a total of 10.39 cents per mile. It's 12 miles to work, 24 miles total so it costs me 2.49$ to get to work and back.

The Healing Game

I've been just lazing around the house healing up the three incisions I have in my belly. I've been playing a ton of this Warcraft Mod for Counter Strike Source. It's pretty pimp. The wounds are healing nicely but I wish I could say the same for my financial situation. The hospital is probably going to charge me in the range of 12-24 THOUSAND dollars for this operation. Gotta love the US of A. So, I'm working on taking care of that slowly. It's going to be a long time till my dad and I get that figured out. He said we are going to fight them to get the bill lower since they over price like hella.

Drove my car for the first time in about a week. Woot woot. I need to go deliver some packages in it today. :) I love driving. I think the coolant leak, MIGHT, be fixed. I'm not really sure. I was letting it cool down this morning before I checked it to see. Pretty soon here I will be going out to look. If it's fixed, OMG AWESOME! I have until this coming up Wednesday off from work. I think I should be good to do small spurts of light car work so I will hopefully be doing a few things to it shortly here. Pics will be posted of course.

I've got a huge party today. This is the day before my B-Day and my friends are holding a party that is celebrating about four people's birthdays. It's kind of insane. Also it's a going away party for our friend Billy and Liz. I think she's leaving with him. He's moving to CA where he got a job.

Appendix GONE!!!!

So... the human body has all sorts of stupid shit that it doesn't need. One of which is the appendix and now I don't have mine. It got soar or infected on Saturday morning, I felt like I had a stomach ache for about 5 hours and it only got worse so i went into the hospital where they said I had appendicitis. On Sunday at 1pm I had my surgery and now I'm back at home. Got home around 10pm Sunday. Gotta go lay down now.

New Cars Suck

So you go and get a new car and expect it to work fine... and low and behold crap happens of course. On top of that stupid man hole cover that hit the car now it's over heating.... well... it was. I fixed it thank god. I think I fixed it.

I put on a few nice things like a set of Votex Long Fogs, Smoked Side Markers, and a Early Vento Grille. It's pretty pimp already and a set of coilovers are on the way along with smoked side blinkers. Once I get the 5 lug swap on there it'll poke out the wheels a tad more, have better looking stock wheels, and they will be bigger. :) I'll also have better stopping power because i'll have rear discs and larger front brakes along with stainless steel braided brake lines. :) I'll get some pics up soon.

I should be taking it down to a body shop soon to get the body work done.
