Wes’s Life

So, about halfway through the year, how’s are the res­o­lu­tions going?

Well, there was a brief lapse in going to the gym, but for the most part I go three days a week. And lately I started taking the bike instead of dri­ving — yay for not spend­ing money and get­ting exer­cise all a once.

Eating health­ier is going well mainly due to the fact that I no longer buy Dori­tos and when we do dessert we usu­ally make it, which adds a hurdle.

The Amazon one…well I lasted the three months pretty well, and after that I’ve had ups and downs, oh well.

Some quick steps to change your status from stu­dent to alum on Face­book:

1. Log in to Face­book
2. Go to the account page (top right)
3. Click on the Net­works tab
4. Click the Edit Info link
5. Change your status from Stu­dent to Alumnus/Alumna and set your year

And if anyone didn’t know, I am now a full fledged grad­u­ate; no longer a stu­dent. Awe­some. It was a great four years and I met tons of great people, had some great expereiences and met the love of my life.

Well, I real­ize its kinda late for me to be get­ting around to New Years Res­o­lu­tions, but why not?

First and fore­most, I’m going to work out three times a week. This has already been hap­pen­ing, so it should be easy to keep going.

In cor­re­la­tion to the first, I’m going to eat health­ier. I guess my biggest issue there is eating pasta.

The last one I can think of, I’m not going to buy any­thing on Ama​zon.com for myself for at least three months, hope­fully longer. Any one who has met me knows that I have an unhealthy obses­sion with books, that needs to get nipped in the bud.

Well, I haven’t been doing too much worth men­tion­ing lately. I went to the Cas­cades again, been run­ning errands and going to class and work. The Hokie foot­ball season is under way and we’ve finally ditched Glen­non as the start­ing quar­ter­back.

How­ever, I have done some­thing worth men­tion­ing. I cre­ated an online resume and port­fo­lio. I’ve had the domain — mynameiswes.com — for a while now, but didn’t quite know what to do with it. With the career fair rolling around the corner here at Vir­ginia Tech, I fig­ured an online port­fo­lio would be a good idea. So, I spent much of last Thurs­day work­ing on it and ham­mer­ing it out and here it is:

Haven’t heard from me in a while, huh? Well, I’ve been a bit occu­pied help­ing my girl­friend move in. Yes, after five or so days I think I can say she’s com­pletely moved. Granted, she’s not ter­ri­bly well orga­nized, but that’s what the semes­ter is for, not classes.

I’ve also been attempt­ing to become employed and it looks like I’m get­ting a few steps closer with a par­tic­u­lar com­pany. I’m pretty excited, as anyone close enough to me during this summer can tell you.

The grind of classes will start soon enough, and I hope that the effects of the shoot­ing won’t be felt too much. I would prefer that people respect what hap­pened, but go back to the way things were before it all hap­pened.

Oh, and thank good­ness for air con­di­tion­ing. Tem­per­a­tures in Blacks­burg have been ridicu­lous over the past few days. Today it was 100° at some point. Frankly, it can stop that kind of crap any time now.
