Welcome Freshmen!

So I've been gone for a minute.

It's alright, have no fear, the new Yeah That Happened moments are coming! It's been a very busy last month, I've actually been working at my job (yeah, they decided to give me more than 14 hours a week WOOHOO!) and I've been getting ready for school. Which brings me to a little topic to kick it off, financial aid.

Well here is the deal, since I'm an old guy (over 24) I get some sweet financial aid from the government. I think it is fair, between high school and going to college I spent a couple years pulling over 19k which is pretty good for a dude with no real bills and cheap rent. Of course I blew it all and somehow got into bad credit (I'm amazing). So yeah, anyway, I get fin aid because I need it to survive, especially during season when, because of a combination of school, practice, gym time, and church/family obligations I only can work one day a week. Well, I got an 'audit' this year. Something they do every year to 30% of all students receiving aid. So I get it and finally go find my tax info and whatever else they want and bring it in to the office. A painless and quick procedure, right?

WRONG.

So I call them this week because I get an e-mail letting me know that they need something from me to finish processing my financial aid. So being concerned I call the school right away. They double check and yes, everything was in order and 'processing' but here is the kicker, the 'processing' periods takes as long as SIX WEEKS. Yes, SIX WEEKS. So now I won't get my fin aid until like September 25th or something. A full three-and-a-half weeks into the semester. So being as I live a trife life, I have no money to spend on the stuff I need for school such as text books, etc. So yeah, no love from the fin aid office means I'm going to be without required texts unless I come up with an extra loan tomorrow morning. Should be a fun process...

NEXT UP: The Poll.

The people have spoken and the next topic people wanted to hear about: The women in my life. There are quite a few, not that I am a big deal, but it happens. I'm in college, surrounded by drunk girls on a campus that is 65% female. DUH! I'll be sure to keep you updated on that.

Exciting things to keep your eyes and ears open for:

Look for a podcast from yours truly, along with two good friends. Music and pure personality will collide. I hope you can handle it.

I have a lot of audio to sift through from some of our escapades and don't know if I'll ever actually get around to it, but you can check it out on here and myspace.com/zuckocircus

There are sooooo many other things in the works as well that I can't even touch 'em all because each is a big deal and I don't want the few people who read this to get lost in the magnitude of what we are going to try and do with this blog.

Keep tuned in...we are just getting this started my people.
