My bosses gave me a thank you note and gift card out of the blue today for nothing in particular. Just for doing my job. It was really nice of them and I’m stoked that even though I’m still learning they are appreciative of what I have done thus far (and that they have faith in me moving forward). It’s a nice change of pace from the typical “this is good but this could be better” kind of situation - which I definitely appreciate in its own respect. Sometimes a you’re doing great/keep it up/you’ll get there kind of feedback is nice too (:

Probably have to throw in the 2 week notice tomorrow, pretty perfect timing in 2 weeks cause its a friday but not sure if I wanna work 2-3 days after to get a small payday to refund the driving costs, but should probably take a week to chill with my family and local friends. I wanna stay but also wanna leave, works awesome and will suck to leave but its time for me to go west finally, always fine with coming back east.

Chubz.No disrespect to the fam but fuck em, schools not for everybody and you’re not a failure Bc you didn’t finish school on time, the good thing is that you’re making the decision to go back to school. You could be slinging dope in sugarhouse and just partying and skiing, (there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that) but you’re conscious of the situation and you’re doing what you know you gotta do. Hell. I think I know 4 or 5 people who walked the stage last week with their degree. Everybody else dropped out and are doing their own thing.


Im just really bad at working on my heavy workload and extremely painful anxiety at once. I dont have assignments due for another few days and Im in full-blown panic mode thinking that its now or never.

Yeah i told my boss 2 weeks from tomorrow, just gonna suck it up and keep spending very low. Just never done this before so id like a week to myself and my family and friends but maybe I'll say I'll think about working the busier days on schedule but nothing past Wednesday. Also gonna call all the places I applied for and probably some shitty ones out of my preferred job detailing/lot tech shit. I'd wait longer but the houses lease is almost up and it's either come now or probably never just the way the whole thing is. Roommate who's my best bud will likely send to Europe or maybe Canada after this year when he's done film school at slcc and the others who are there will be too busy at the end of their school careers. Should've been productive last year and live there already but I'm 21 and just starting to learn this life stuff.

DeebieSkeebiesMy favorite part about not having a degree is your family reminding you of that fact during the week of your sisters graduation. Yeah gee, thanks for reminding me that Im a fuck up who went insane the last time I was in school. Super helpful.


You can have a degree and still be a shit person. Proud of you for putting in the work, shit can suck, and school is hard. (dropped out twice) Education is not a race. Remind your fam that.

Thank you, fams. My favorite part of being in school so far this summer is working on tuning distractions like that out. Ill get insecure in business classes with kids my age already starting business enterprises and stuff, and then ill have classmates who.are in their 30s, married with a family, either working/veterans back in school after serving, and then youll realize that like "oh, we'll all get there at some point."

Thats an amazing point on education not being a race. Block classes make it feel like so but slowing all the material down to.a speed thats easy to understand helps so much. Im.also back at my tutoring place i used in HS.and they have college tutoring which is amazing. Its more expensive but beats having to wait for a timeslot once or twice a week in the tutoring labs on campus.

OregonDeadYou never know until you go. For example, I wouldn't have predicted the nuking east winds Sat morning that shut down Palmer and the Mile and had Norms running slow. Then Saturday afternoon turned out to be really calm even at the top of Palmer. Forecast doesn't look like it will be raining all the time so really good chance of great runs. A little rain might cut down on all the dust and make it fast early in the day. I'm not sure if I can escape work this week to ski but I'll be back up this weekend for sure. Have a blast and bring a towel and some extra clothes/gloves and it'll be no big deal if you get a little rained on.


You weren’t kidding, it’s really volatile. In three days I’ve skied bluebirds, fog so thick that I get scared to go fast, and winds that made my face hurt. Somehow no rain. This place is always insane coming from Ohio

Also, ripping a very noodly ski with almost no sharp edges left down Palmer at high speeds has been an interesting experience

My biggest regret in life was selling you those skis.

Pulling the trigger on a pair of custom 108’s in August and pairing them with the forza pivots. I just don’t know if I want to go black topsheet, veneer or the wren108 topsheets. Hell maybe I’ll stick with the stock topsheets but if I’m going custom I might as well get something unique.

I grew up going to Gameworx as a kid and it was insanely fun, but its even way more fun as an adult going to Dave and Busters drunk as fuck and having a ripping time. Me and the girlfriend had a damn good time this weekend.

It was fucking popping off well after midnight. Fuck waiting in line at bars, ima go rage some big buck hunter.

Practicing business letter formatting and was told mine are too descriptive though short and concise ( I dont know how the fuck that works out). I decided to google some examples of the different types of letters and found plenty of neat, properly structured, and well put together samples that are waaaaay more descriptive and long, more personal, and just read a whole lot better, in my opinion. The Professor of our class is a little salty that we're "struggling" but it seems everyone is doing fine. He just wants to make it hard for no reason because its a block class, extremely fucking nit-picky and regardless if its the correct way to do things, It has to be "the way he wants it" or you're not gonna pass.

Its why people really don't take most English professors seriously.

Just had lunch with a childhood friend. He has been DJ ing in Minneapolis for the last 5 years. Apparently there are some "underground raves" in the mountains in my area. Invite only and no promotions so they can have high profile names without the hassle of the contracts. Beyond stoked to check one of these out in June.

What the fuck is good with snowboarders doing a 270 onto a rail, surface shuffling the last 90 once their on the rail and claiming it’s a “3 on”. I get it’s a fucked up trick especially with surfaceswaping after the spin and locking into a 50-50 but it’s still a 270 in my eyes. Idk maybe that’s the trend right now but I hate the claim lol.
