Got 10 hits on the site yesterday. First time we got 10 hits since more interesting things were happening with my life. I guess this is a good thing. People are still interested. I received messages from a few people regarding the last post saying they read the whole post. I thank you for that. I feel like some people just skim it. Its not too often you get to read about a undertoned cool kid's life. However, if you pick out the details you might come to this conclusion. Or you will just conclude I'm depressed and like to write about it alot. Or as some people say, complain about some parts of my life and not indulge in the other parts of my life. I have a good life I think.
Past couple days have been tiring. Tuesday night I fell asleep for a good 30 minutes in my genetics class. My body is in between restart and shut-down mode. I feel like bashing my head on the keyboard. The question is, what part of my body is the keyboard? Yesterday was especially tiring. Now why does my one-class-day become tiring? Well, lets just say I was a fully-fledged manager yesterday. I started interviews at 9:00 in the morning. I left 45 minutes in betwen interviews. I had one at 9:00, 9:45, 10:30. I attended an informal meeting inbetween these with Jill in our lounge. Various doctors and providers were there talking about client relations and the like. It was interesting. I left for my bird class at 11:20. I got there just went it started (11:45). It was difficult to stay awake but I did. I went to my g-ma's in st. paul. She fixed me lunch and we visited briefly. I told her I couldn't stay because I had another interview at 2:30. I now have a hiring order in my head. Two people are tied for first though, makes hiring difficult. I had to work kennels but Julie, Jamie and Amber were all in kennels tonight for some reason. Thus, I just left. I had a research proposal to type. Jill gave me the deposit from the clinic to deposit. It took me forever to get out of that hell hole.
I'm not the coolest person to get an interview from. I will pound you with information. I watch everything, especially body posture and eye contact. I give a rather strenuous interview and if you hold up to it well I am able to tell. There are many key things I look for that I'm not going to elaborate on. Sometimes I feel sorry for people I interview. However, everyone has passed my tests thus far. Maybe I'm just good at selecting people to interview. My application stack gets larger every night. Its around 25 people now. I wish to have 2 more interviews tomorrow. I have one already set for 9:30. The other I want to either get in before then or right after then. I need to get this person hired tomorrow. *sighs* I don't know if I can make it. My body is rather drained of all necessary energy to sit up right and think logically and sensibly.
I really can't wait for this switchfoot concert. So I will fill this post with their stuff. Lyrics, merchandise. Join Alex and I the 8th of April:

Lyrics:
Twenty-four oceans
Twenty-four skies
Twenty-four failures
And twenty-four tries
Twenty-four finds me
In twenty-fourth place
With twenty-four drop outs
At the end of the day
Life is not what I thought it was
Twenty-four hours ago
Still I'm singing 'Spirit,
take me up in arms with You'
And I'm not who I thought I was
Twenty-four hours ago
Still I'm singing 'Spirit,
take me up in arms with You'
Switchfoot - 24
Hello, good morning, how you do?
What makes your rising sun so new?
I could use a fresh beginning too
All of my regrets are nothing new
So this is the way that I say I need You
This is the way
This is the way that I'm
Learning to breathe
I'm learning to crawl
I'm finding that You and You alone can break my fall
I'm living again, awake and alive
I'm dying to breathe in these abundant skies
Switchfoot - Learning to Breathe
The stars are alive
They dance to the music
Of the deepest emotion
And all of the world
Is singing in time
As the heavens are caving in
Mysterious ways
Why God gave his life
To put motion inside my soul
It's bigger than cold religion
It's bigger than life
Love is a movement
Love is a revolution
This is redemption
We don't have to slow back down
Switchfoot - Love is theMovement
Dreaming about Providence
And whether mice or men have second tries
Maybe we've been livin with our eyes half open
Maybe we're bent and broken, broken
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
Somewhere we live inside
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
Switchfoot - Meant to Live
Yesterday is a wrinkle on your forehead
Yesterday is a promise that you’ve broken
Don’t close your eyes
Don’t close your eyes
This is your life and today is all you’ve got now
And today is all you’ll ever have
Don’t close your eyes
Don’t close your eyes
This is your life
Are you who you want to be
This is your life
Are you who you want to be
This is your life
Is it everything you’ve dreamed it would be
When the world was younger
and you had everything to lose
Switchfoot - This Is Your Life
Tell you where you need to go
Tell you when you need to leave
Tell you what you need to know
Tell you who you need to be
Everything inside you know there's more than what you heard
There's so much more than empty conversation filled with empty words
And you're on fire when He's near you
You're on fire when He speaks
You're on fire, burning at these mysteries
Give me one more time around
Give me one more chance to see
Give me everything You are
Give me one more chance to be near you
When everything inside me looks like everything I hate
You are the hope I have for change, You are the only chance I'll take
When I'm on fire when You're near me
I'm on fire when You speak
I'm on fire burning at these mysteries
These mysteries
Switchfoot - On Fire
It was a beautiful letdown
When You found me here
Yeah, for once in a rare blue moon
I see everything clear
I'll be a beautiful letdown
That's what I'll forever be
And though it may cost my soul
I'll sing for free
We're still chasing our tails
In the rising sun
In our dark water planet still spinning
In a direction no one wins
No one's won.
Switchfoot - The Beautiful Letdown
Welcome to the planet
Welcome to existence
Everyone's here
Everyone's here
Everybody's watching you now
Everybody waits for you now
What happens next
What happens next
Chorus:
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened before
Welcome to the fallout
Welcome to resistence
The tension is here
The tension is here
Between who you are and who you could be
Between how it is and how it should be
(Chorus)
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened before
Maybe redemption has stories to tell
Maybe forgiveness is right where you fell
Where can you run to escape from yourself?
Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna go?
Salvation is here
(Chorus)
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened before
Switchfoot - I Dare You To Move
