Luke Grown Up

I had my first day of work last night. It went well, everyone is really cool, and the discount is RIDICULOUS.  I think I’m really going to enjoy working there. However, I definitely am going to need to work more hours once these classes are done - I won’t make enough money to pay my bills otherwise.

Bills. What a buzzkill. I love being on my own, but I hate paying so much to do it.  Next year I’ll be more on my own than I have been previously, and though it will be awesome to have my own place and have everything set up so I can do whatever I want/need, it’s going to be expensive.  My plans:

1.  Set up desktop computer for music production
   1. Buy some more equipment, like an M-Box or something to record real instruments
2. Buy a sweet TV and make it my hub
   1. Build a media center PC so I can record shows without paying for TiVo
   2. Watch all of the movies and TV shows I have on the backlog
3. Pick up the musical instruments again

I’m sure there’s more, but these things require that I stop playing video games as much (maybe an hour a day or less) and get everything done on time, as well as make a conscious effort to learn how to use the software I have. I really have a lot of stuff I want to do, and it needs to get done for my wellbeing.

On another note, I’m about halfway through The Horse And His Boy. It’s a good one, and I can’t wait to get through so I can plow through the whole series, and then read the book I took out of the library (I  should just return it, because I already have so many books I need to read).  I have lab stuff to do tonight, and after I’m done, I’m probably going to either read it (more likely) or watch a movie (less likely).  We’ll see what happens.
