Been too long....

So here we go, class so far is going great. It seems like it is going to be a busy semester. Third week of class offically starts tomorrow, nice to see old faces and always great to meet new ones. Just recently, i got together with some Ex Eders (people in my major), we went sledding and had dinner at a friends house. One of my best nights ever! The bad thing is though i have built friendships with these amazing people, and they are all leaving in May. They all graduate and move one to bigger and better things. But i am sure i will stay in touch with them. But this means there is room for new people. I just hope i can be as welcoming to the new people as the second years were to me. Work is great, love my job, got some great plans going on this summer. I am going to be going to Colorado in less than a month and i will be staying for 10 days. Be great to see my great friends and plus doing some professional networking. Hmmmm what else is there....oh yeah this cold SUCKS! We had a heat wave last week, it was in the high 30's....now its barely above 0...But i crochet hats and scarfs, so that keeps me warm. Well i guess that is it for now, peace out, until next time..stay easy

oh what a trip

So as I am typing this entry, I am sitting in a bar at the Louisville airport awaiting my flight to go back to Minnesota. Christmas was great, 10 days in the town that I said I vowed to never to return to and hate, when in the end it was good to see. I spent most of my days crocheting people hats, it’s funny I come back to grad school and the first thing I tell my friends is that I learned how to crochet…..

Got to see some old friends, had a party at my house this is the second time doing it, it’s a good way to see everybody all at once. The night began with beer pong, ended with hot tub and people passing out in random areas of the house. On Christmas day it is a sensory overload with family, so many people and kids and catching up with family who I used to see all the time, and is now once a year.

Couple days after Christmas, I spent the day with some family I haven’t seen since college and I only saw them briefly. Once dinner was over, I went out with the young crew to the bars while my mom stayed with the older crew and drink at their bar in the house.

Now I am a big boy, spent many days and nights drinking back in college and most weekends during the summer. BUT that was beer, this night every time I blinked or turned my head there was a shot in front of me, while I was drinking a beer. One of the family members thought it would be nice to buy shots for everybody every 10 mins it seemed like. OMG OMG OMG……I remember getting in the cab then putting my dinner that I ate earlier that day in the toilet. I wake up 5am on the bathroom floor, make it to the couch. My cousin came down to check on me, I was able to moan to her, and she was able to understand my incoherent response. I haven’t felt like that since college….But I survived and ready for the New Year’s…well I think….. Anyway this is Corey Puddin Pop Montgomery signing off, have a happy new year! J

WTF----->OMG

So lets take a short trip back to memory lane.....From the first blog of WTF, like what am i doing going back to school, no friends, weird environment, bla bla bla...now its like OMG my first semester of grad school is done, where did the time go. I have made great friends, classes were great, i have an awesome job, and now i am ready for next semester. Bring it, thats all i have to say.

Ok so lets get to the pissed off part, the effin cold! WTF i leave a cold state with mountains to go to a colder state with no mountains....what the hell was i thinking! 10 degrees a couple days ago, this is re-god-damn-diclous. But its all good, i asked for thermal underwear for x mas.....

Thanks giving was well needed break. I went to Colorado to see my second family, i brought a friends with me, which was, made the road trip better and hes never been to CO before so it was good. It makes me miss the people even more. I went to comedy show, one guy sucked, he compered brown syndrome (black people) to people with down syndrome...so you know where stand on that..... But it was a great trip, well needed and i will be going back in Feb. for 2 weeks.

Well my friends it is time to hit the sack, have fun and good holidays :)

Long time no talk......

So after many complaints about being behind on my blog i found time to write in it. So here we go, over the past month has been fun. Classes are getting more fun b/c we as students in the class are getting more comfortable with each other. Social life is good but is lacking a bed time buddy, but not a big deal, classes and work keep me busy. On that note work is great, as a reminder, i work with a guy that has a TBI (traumatic brain injury). Real nice guy can be a smart ass every once in awhile, but thats what makes the job fun. Easy 40 hours a week. On the school note, all i can say is that i have a 4.0 GPA. I havnt had one since grad school!!!! I am able to join an honor society here on campus, its only $60, i figure it will be worth it, i can put it on a resume.

I picked up a new hobby, i crochet....Dont judge. I made 3 hats so far, i found i can knock out a hat in about a day. Not bad at all, i am addicted to it, i have a few hats on the waiting list for people. its fun and relaxing, plus while my guy i help take care is watching TV i usually do that or read.

Thanksgiving is coming up and i am excited!!! i am going to CO to see some camp friends, and i am bring a friend with me, since i am driving it will be nice to have a driving partner. Well that is it in a small portion of the past month. Until next time, stay black......

My ole Kentucky Home

Well ppl i had one of the best weekends ever last week. I was able to go to Bowling Green KY. I spent the best 4 1/2 years there when i was in college and it was time for me to go back. Some things have changed, like Waffle Houses have security at the door! WOW, apparently ppl get crazy around 2am. New bars, with dress codes, i wasnt allowed in one bar cause i was wearing baggy jeans, and one i had to take my buff of my head. But my old bar was still there and kickin it like usual every thursday night. I didnt have to show my ID and it was $5 all you can drink...wooohoooo! That night ended up me wearing a constuction hard hat and and jumping over two curbs in a truck (i wasnt driving) and getting a pizza that had to be turned sideways to get into the house.

The next day was started off at 10 am me drinking on my friends couch then going over to see my my friend from camp Devin. She is just a little ray of sunshine all the time.........

Meet up with one of my old room mates and great friend from high school. Meet some new ppl that night as well...it was a good night......

The next day spent at Octoberfest in nashville (oh my liver) which was uh-maze-ing! Then went out to the bars again, then meet up with some more friends then went to waffle house, then passed out on the couch.

Next day hung out with Devin again (she likes me, dont let her fool ya), i tried snuggling with her, but with her yelling Get off my bed, go away, your making uncomfortable ect.... it didnt work as well as i thought, there is always next time though :)

Meet my mom, had lunch with her, then started my trip back to louisville for my flight with Sara. I like her, we have great talks :) Now i am back in the real world of class and paying attention to my liver.

Oh before i forget, i did my egg drop in class, it worked out well i got an A, well at least i think i did, i am still trying to figure out what the teacher grades us on, since we dont have exams or papers. well any who, peace out ppl, you will be hearing from me again :)

Ugggg my body, and the past week....

So i want to start off how the week has been so far. It has been really well in the social part, i hosted a mini gathering last wednesday for fajitas, it was awesome. I had like 3 ppl come, not bad for just asking certain ppl in my night class like 10 mins before i thought of it. The next day, another friend hosted a pot luck dinner at her place. More ppl came, and i was able to socialize a lot more since it was a more relaxed place. I am getting phone numbers, and i was able to check off one of my "types of friends" from my list. I meet a girl who plays disc golf, and likes it as well, we played friday morning, it was fun. So i have a disc golf friend!!!!!

Saturday was homecoming so there was a lot of stuff going on with school, and greek life. Kristina called me and wanted to know if i wanted to go climbing with her and a friend in a gym. I couldnt pass up on that. But her friend and her are really good climbers, so i stuck with the easy stuff, but i did well for somebody who doesnt climb all the time. We did that for about 4 hours!! And boy is my body sore today, i had to get my roomy to open my coke b/c my hands were sore from grabbing the rock holds.

Woke up to the song banana pancakes by Jack Johnson, and i was like....hmmm those sound good, so i made them. And yes they were good.... On that note i have been doing a lot of cooking, like too much i think. I need to stop watching Food Network. I was watching emeril degrassi make a chicken curry, and i was like i want to try it but i want vegies instead of potatoes. Then i made another apple pie, then made biscuits and gravy (mine is better than paula dean's). Then i made potato wedges like tyler florence. it would be more fun if i had ppl to cook for, but my roomies dont seem to want it so i have tons of left overs, which isnt that bad.

Well wish me luck to keep checking ppl off on my friend list :)

What a great day!

So thursday started as the usual, get up at noon and wait for my study partner to call me and meet up with him. I was on time schedule today, i had a job interview with a 42 yr old brain injury victim. He seems like a real nice guy, and a smart ass. he just needs help getting around and to the gym. I basically got hired on the spot, he asked if i could start right away, i told him give me about 2 weeks, to get my school project done, and get my shit together. So that was good...

Then i went to a ExEd gathering, apparently its a tradition, it was so good! I meet a guy who is like me, really sexual and rude. He was a Jehovah's Witness, but he said he didnt like the whole idea of no drinking, no drugs, and no sex.... There was a girl there with the same personality as well, i am starting to like these ppl more everyday.

I was able to inroduce them to "rodrigo y gabriela", then they feel in love with them as much as i did. So far its looking up for puddin pop :)
