The countdown continues...

I have a test every day this week. Hurray!

Still waiting to see what my final decision will be. My time limit isn't up yet.

My attempts to get through have failed. Rather, they are being ignored. I've been erased from existance in another world and am now worth nothing there. Probably less than nothing. This is devastating to me, but I have no choice but to give up. I will not try to call again. How a person can toss someone they claim to care about aside like that is beyond me, but I guess it's much easier when you keep everyone so far away that you don't truly care for anyone.


Sadly, the way things have ended up have also made me not want to be here anymore. I no longer like Athens, and don't feel that I have anything lasting for me here. From now on everything will bring back memories I'd rather not have. Nothing here is untouched, because everything here is so intertwined. For me Athens has been nothing but a series of endings. Not good ones either. There are only a few constants, and even they are unpredictable at best. Flaky, selfish, and/or nowhere to be found at worst. Frankly, I'm sick of it.

Today begins the Great House Clean-Out of 2008. I'm hoping to get rid of lots of stuff. I want the eBay gods to smile on me.

I filed my state tax return last Saturday. I got my refund on Thursday. That's one hell of a turnaround. Next up is my stimulus check. Hey, I'll take another $300 no problem.

The Georgia Aquarium was pretty neat, but it was all things I've seen before. The best part was at the sea lion enclosure, when the trainers came out. Those sea lions are trained better than most people's dogs. Six Flags was a bit of a disappointment. I don't go all that often, but when I do I always feel like I'm not getting something. The coasters are fun, but never seem as thrilling as the coasters I've ridden in Ohio. First off, we didn't get there until 8pm because traffic in Athens and then Conyers was retarded. Then we couldn't meet up with a friend who was supposed to be with us because they got there 2 hours before us, but then failed to bring a cellphone into the park with them. Then we waited in line for 2 hours to ride Goliath, which isn't really all that big. It kept having problems, so by the time we got on they were running only one car. The first drop is fun, but after that it's smooth sailing. Nothing spectacular. They claim that it's 3.5 minutes long, but it only runs about 2.5 minutes. We asked an employee about that, and we found out that all the rides at Six Flags Over Georgia are scaled-down from their original counterparts due to the park's proximity to the airport. Nothing can be over 200 ft tall, so the rides are just smaller overall. Boo.
