So it's been awhile

Quite a bit has happened since my last post.  I was sick that first weekend, most likely from the dust from work, and the following week my great grandma passed away.  Work changed some once I got back, and it's a little easier to manage everything, but still has it's difficulties.  I've also got a plan for saving up for my college for paleontology.  If all goes well, I should be out of the charcoal plant by the end of July, 2013. I've also entered the nintendo wifi tournament, 2011 Autumn Friendly.  Hoping I have luck in it.
