I Quit!
That's right, ladies and gentlemen. After less than a month on the job, I quit on Wednesday. I didn't like working there, as it wasn't the job that I wanted, and it was quite boring. However, even with my two-week vacation, I managed to scrounge up about $500 USD.

I plan on using this money to do one of two things: 1) Buy a bunch of music-related stuff for something I may or may not have mentioned here (including a bass guitar); or 2) Save up for a Macintosh iBook laptop that costs over $1,000 USD.

I have not yet made my final decision, though I am leaning towards the music stuff because it's easier. (I don't know when or where I'll get over $500 more, unless you have some to spare.)

In other news (and there isn't a whole lot), I took a bike ride this evening. My sister and I left around 8:00 pm, and we were back by 8:30 pm. We had gone to Franklin Blvd. and back to New York Ave. in about half an hour. My dad says it was about 2½ miles, but I don't know how true that is. (This map reports that it's 2.21 miles one-way.)

Now, this is significant because I can't remember the last time I rode a bike. (Well, more specifically, I can't remember which of my memories is the last time I rode a bike. My point is, it was a while ago.) Also, this is important because there's a marathon, as my sister put it (it's not a race), at the end of the month that I plan on riding in—and it's about 27 miles long. It goes from one end of Long Beach Island (somewhere in Atlantic Beach) to the other (somewhere in Point Lookout), and back. I don't know the exact addresses/locations, so I couldn't get an accurate map.

One last thing I want to mention is that, last night, I got about 12 hours of sleep, compared to the (about) 4 hours of sleep I would get on work nights. On normal weekends, I get about 9 hours of sleep, which is what I like to get whenever I can.

So, on that note, good night.

Time Now: 3:16 AM
