The First

So I have done something that I never thought I would ever do. I've joined the ranks of the bloggers. Not that I think blogging is neccessarily bad...I just generally don't like to write and ergo blogging and David don't mix. But since everyone else is doing it, naturally I felt the need to show everyone how a proper blog is done. Ok so maybe that I am being a little sarcastic...

Basically, I've decided that blogging is the only writing that I actually could enjoy doing because there really aren't any strict writing rules that I have to adhere to. I kan mis spel, uze bad. puntuation and even Capitalize werds that r in the middel of a sentens!!!! I won't get a bad grade for it or even get my blog back with red marks all over it kinda like my english papers used to be. I may get some comments about my lack of general knowledge of the English language but of course I can always ignore them. It may annoy people to read a bad grammaterized blog (is that a word?) but to those people I simply say...you can go...read someone else's blog haha.

I am going to try to be serious at times here because while a lot of people probably think that I don't really give much thought to life, I actually do think deeply (occaisionally) about what I am doing and where I'm going. Just a little background on me real quick: I am 27 years old (wow that's freakin' old) but I don't feel like I am that age. I am in graduate school at NC State and just registered for my last class ever (woohoo!). God willing I will graduate in December with a MS in Meteorology. I hate it when people ask me what I'm going to be doing with that degree because I feel pressure to make something up that sounds cool but in all honesty I really have no idea. My main sources of income are tutoring, selling juice (haha I know sounds lame but as long as it pays the bills...I don't really care), and trading stocks on the NYSE. Btw one of those is a lie. But enough about me...

Random observations:

1. Today I discoved that VISA is NOT everywhere you want to be. It is false advertisement. I was trying to pay for my semester at school with my debit card which of course is a Visa (are there any debit cards that aren't?) Well as it turns out, NC State accepts Mastercard, Discover, and even AMEX but not Visa!!! I mean, who doesn't accept Visa???? Just another reason I will never pull for NC State again in anything!

2. Staying on the school topic, now that I am paying for my own school I realize that failing a class is even more stupid now than ever. First of all, you can usually tell very early in the semester if you are going to have a hard time passing the class or not and if it is too much for you there is that great drop/add feature that most schools have and of which I have taken advantage of many times. Therefore it is your fault if you fail a class. Secondly, if you are paying for your own school and you fail a class you basically paid well over $1000 to receive a big fat F and the knowledge that you just wasted part of a semester. Ouch. No pressure or anything.

Shout-Outs:

1. Ashley (Ash-Mac)--For supporting this blog from the get-go (and by supporting I mean constantly asking if I was ever going to post). Thanks Ashley!

2. Robbie Wible and Jacob Suffridge--For believing in me...haha just kidding but I did promise them a shout-out in the first post. Thanks guys for helping me to be consistent in my workout schedule...can't have you guys beating me although you probably will eventually.

Whew! I'm done. Hope you enjoy reading...if you didn't...too bad. Like I said, there are plenty of other blogs out there so I want no complaints about mine. Till next time....

Shalom,

D-Lev
