this has been day 3 since colonel has gone back. and we are back to boot camp. 

we haven't been together the past days but he's back alright. he came back friday afternoon they even had to pull me out of my job. good thing i'm not really employed. other than that the day went pretty much ok. he even brought us some stuff, which I am pretty sure he thought twice before getting us any. then saturday came. this day went smooth since I had to work the whole day. comes evening we just relaxed and prepared for sunday. then sunday came. The day started out with a recall of what we had to do and what we've done wrong for the past 36 hours that he's been in the house. Just for emphasis, I'll do the math:

36(hrs) - 10hrs(sleep) - 10hrs(job saturday) - 10hrs(sleep) = 6 hours

and in that whole six hours that we weren't even with him, we've done minor(but empasized to be considered major) mistakes. and guess what, he even reminded us about it again and complained and complained because he wants everything done his way. the day was a mess. but the good thing is he said something like this, "Ashton, if you really want your career to be in computers, you should already be investing what you have in what you plan to do in the future." Now this was a go signal for me to buy some stuff for MY personal use using MY earned money. I'm saying this because he implied the house rule "Plan 0/0" which means 0 expenses, 0 wastage. and he says this even my mom owes me almost 4K USD. But nevertheless, the go signal is there, so I bought myself a Zoom GFX-5 (this isn't for a computer but I'll use this, ALOT) and I bought a book on java. the gadget cost me around $130 and the book about 1/100 of a dollar and the shipping was 3.99 so $4 total.(and they say people in america knows how to do business)

moving on, came today, monday. I had the task of burning 20copies of an installer called PowerBible. I had no blank CDs to use, and I don't have two cd-rom drives. And for crying out loud, I don't even have a trust worthy cd writer. The writer is so messed up I broke 10blank cds. Its not much of a deal since I'm the computer guy, but I hope he tries to do it himself soon cause I actually had to use 1 of the algorithms I know just to by-pass the need of hardware. That's task 1. Task 2, make the stinking dirty car to a clean and refreshingly smelling car. Guess what. We don't have any kind of perfume left in the house. I had to use my money to buy cleaning materials and fresheners for the car I can't even use on my personal necessities. amazingly, I finished both tasks with a silent remark(the silent remark means I was able to do what he wanted me to do). After a grueling sit on the computer I've made 20 copies of the installer and the car was dirt free(for now) and smells good too.

and an odd thing today is when I went to the gym. An adult wanted to play 4 on 4 but 1 player was a girl. She wasn't a tomboy she was a girl. I mean a girl with her long blond hair ponytailed to get out of the way while playing basketball. moving along, I played like I used to but my mid ranged shots were a mess. It got interesting when there was a pick and roll play and I had to switch to guard the girl. I played nice. In fact, too nice, the moment she knew I was relaxing, she zoomed right past me and another guy giving her team a score. a guy was like, "what was that man? did she really did that?" At this point I told myself game-on. But still she's a girl so I gave her good amount of safe space. It wasn't me but she really wanted me to play 100% so she went to point guard mode. shouting players what to do and what she did is set the team up for her to have a clean shot. I played along to enjoy the game so she scored again against me. this was getting to the team that I'm not playing well enough so I showed them. two up and under lay-ups of me passing 3 defenders. I switched guards cause I really want to enjoy the game. and you know what happened? the girl went physical on me. I'm not trying to be a perv here, but she did, really. this was really awkward. for me, I saw that as a statement saying I'm no push over. I like her attitude. the game ended and she told me my up-and-under layup was one heck of a shot hehehe I told her I liked how she played and nice playin. Game 2 was 5 on 5 9 boys and her( I didn't even try to get her name ). she was with the flow hehehe I'm not used to ladies playin with guys but she knew how to play the game. she went early and the game went on. We were actually losing but the opposing team was too serious so they didn't have fun like we did. the 3rd game was stopped in the middle of it because an intramural game will start in half an hour.

sadly, I wasn't able to do any of my drills for basketball nor my gym workout. at least I had a good time playin. That was the only good one this day other than this day almost being over

thats about it for now, good night journal
