List's are the best

A little recap since I've been slacking on the blog action.

1. On May 5th, my band Kiss Your Ghost shared the stage with Less Than Jake, which you may or may not know is one of my favorite bands. It was an incredible experience and I feel honored to be able to say that I played a show and then hung out with Less Than Jake. After the show we went to Barleys, Chris and Buddy were the only LTJ members in attendance but The Swellers were there in full effect and so a few KYG members as well as some old friends. Great times.

2. I got accepted to Graduate School. In the fall I'll be starting a Master's (of Education or Science - to be honest I'm not entirely sure as I've seen both M.Ed. and M.S. attached to the program on different websites) program in College Student Personnel. I'll be working toward obtaining a degree which will help me get a job in student activities and student affairs after I graduate. Unless I go on for a Ph.D...... but let's not get ahead of ourselves.

3. I'm getting school paid for. BOOYAH! By the Grace of God I was fortunate enough to land a great assistantship at the last minute with Team VOLS. They'll be paying for school (minus fees and books) as well as providing me with a stipend and health insurance. I say that's pretty freaking sweet.

4. I'm quitting STA Travel. Actually today, Monday 12 May 2008 is my last day. I'm excited about getting some time off before I start my new job on 2 June..... some people say that's pretty worthless that I'm taking that much time off but you know what I have the oppurtunity to do just that and I am really excited that I've got the better part of three weeks to veg out. I might go to the beach. We'll see.

While on the subject of STA I'd like to say a few things about this job. I've appreciated the time I've spent here. I've always been pretty sure that this job was just a stepping stone, but still I've really appreciated the time I've had here. It's been interesting for me to work for a global company. I now have a new found respect for everyone who works in sales. And I've learned what I want to do and what I don't want to do. I've met and worked with and for some great people and I'm thankful for the oppurtunity I've had since I started here.

5. KYG needs a new guitar player, a van, and various other things. If you have a van you want to give me, let me know.

6. I plan on going to the movies while I've got a break and probably cooking some. And I might go to the beach and visit my aunt. Or maybe New England and visit some friends. But that's actually on the agenda for later this summer.

7. High School Football Heroes are playing some shows this summer, which is awesome. I've got it on good information they probably won't be a band full time again, but I'm excited they're playing a few shows.

8. That is all.
