A day late again. Oh well.
So yeah. Nothing really happened yesterday. I tried looking for a job again, but failed. I turned in a few applications from Monday, but still nothing. Worst part of the day was when I managed to lock myself out of my dorm for about 3 hours. That was great.
Yeah, that's about all I can think of that happened yesterday. So this is a short entry.

Day 5 9/1/09 -First Day Of Classes!
Hey guys, so y'all won't be reading this until tomorrow at some point. Actually you'll be reading it today. I don't know. Point is, I'm typing this up at 12:24AM and the internet is being really gay for me and won't work. Why? I have no clue, I want to know why too! It says I'm connected, but nothing. Argh!
So lets talk about my day, shall we?
Ok, it was the first day of classes for me, so, you guessed it, thats what I'm going to write about. Since nothing else happened at all. I was so bored between classes. It will be a good thing once I get work to do and have a job, but today was pretty boring out of class. For example, I got out of CSCI almost an hour early so it was like 10 AM. My next class wasn't until 2:40 PM! I watched 1 night of Neverender and still had 2 hours to kill.
So classes, well as I mentioned before my first class was CSCI, or Computer Orientation. Absolute torture. I suppose kids in Tennessee didn't have to take Computer Apps as a Freshman in High School, but I did, and this class it the exact same thing. I mean exact. Same curriculum and everything. Only difference is they run Vista. Personally I think thats a bad idea, but hey, not my decision.
My Second Class I have a feeling is going to be awesome! Its kind of like Crockett's Music Recording class at Grayson Tech, but a lot more in depth and no studio time. It's RIM 1020 American Media And Social Institutions. Which basically means it is an overview of the History of American Media. My professor seems like a really cool guy. Let's just say he opened class by playing a few Rancid songs. It's going to be great fun in there, I think.
So the third class I had was Music Appreciation. Which is actually Intro to Music. Sounds cool right? Not so much. I mean it will be easy because I already know a basic overview of most of the material and well not to be arrogant, but I believe I have a decent ability or talent with music. Anyway, my teacher, I can't call her a professor because she looks like she's just out of college, is a bit too open minded about music. Woah, Grayson! Thats not possible! Yes. Yes my friends it is. When you start saying that random noise is music, we have a problem. See there is a term for that. Its called brown noise. No musical qualities at all. No timbre. Nothing. Also, it feels like I'm back taking a required music class in middle school at Providence. There is too much silly stuff. Also it's a three hour class, but we do get two breaks in there, so no worries.
So, uh, yeah. Thats my blog for today, or yesterday I guess. I really need to figure out what's up with this Internet thing. I have seriously spent the last three hours trying to get on. I finally had to resort to using a PC in the lab downstairs to get my Twitter fix.
Goodnight Interwebs!

8/30/09 Day 4 -Job Fail
Ok, once again I'm writing the day after. I think I may do this regularly because it's just too hard to type up a blog when I'm ready to go sleep.
So not much really happened Monday. I got my P.O. Box finally. Now I can get blockbuster movies! At College, Yeah! Oh yeah, and Tickets! You know, I can just get mail now, in college! So, yeah, that was the most productive thing I did. Yes, I went job hunting, but that just depressed me. Every place I went in to were just like "We're not hiring." Grrrrrrrr. I'm going to go look again Wednesday though because I desperately need a job.
Ok, so yeah, thats really about it for Monday.
On a side note, I want to start Vlogging. I don't know how many people will watch though, and also I don't have a video camera. Yet another reason why I need a job. So anyway, let me know if you think I should vlog, or if you just prefer reading this blog. Comment here, or on my facebook here
Or you can @ reply me on twitter here ... its just @gbergmann, but my twitter looks cool! So check it out.
Alright, well that's all I have for you Internet.
Goodbye.
Currently:
Listening: Family Force 5 -Dance Or Die (had to introduce it to some ppl)

Day 3 8/30/09 - Exploring
First Sunday on campus. Felt weird not to be behind a sound board all morning, but i managed to cope. Besides, I'll have much nicer sound boards to run in a year or two. Can anyone say SSL?
So, I'm writing this a day late because I just wasn't feeling up to it last night. None the less I will write now. I can't miss a day or I'm a failure. Now then, lets see what I can remember.
Nothing much really happened. I was still on my post K.U. concert high so the morning was pretty much dominated by reminiscing. I finally made it to one of the 'Cafeterias' on campus. It was surprisingly good, though all I had was pizza. I also spent a little time wandering around the area and learning roads and all that. When I returned to the dorm Dustin, room mate, and I went out on girl patrol. Fail. However, we later met a guy down the hall and went on the same mission again. I learned one thing from these ventures. If I want to meet a girl, a nice girl, I can't go 'searching' with them. Why you ask? Well because I am pretty sure their not exactly looking for a relationship. They are still cool guys though. I mean if I'm going to meet someone, its just going to happen, I don't need to go perusing the options.
Anyway, thats probably the most personal I've gotten on here so far. Feels kind of weird. Moving on. That's really about it for yesterday. Though we did make a few other friends outside our hall, and joined the 'stoop crew'. Yeah, I don't know. It's just hanging out on the stoop in front of our hall. Then I watched Rocknrolla and some CTFxC and went to bed. Now I'm sitting here in Starbucks typing this.
Farewell Interwebs.

Day 2 8/29/09 - Keith Urban Concert!
Oh, where to begin. Lets start from the beginning shall we? Okay!
(To consolidate this entry I'm just going to briefly go over a few things)
So I slept like a baby last night. A poster fell on me in the middle of the night and i didn't even notice until I woke up and it was on top of me. Ha! Anyway, the morning was fairly uneventful. Finally met my room mate. Seems like a pretty cool guy as far as I can tell. Though at the moment his music is grating on my nerves. Just not in the mood for hip-hop right now. Anyway, I met my family, minus Jake of course, for breakfast/lunch at Mimi's Cafe. Fail. It was no good.
Moving on, I said goodbye to my parents, where my mother just about broke down into tears. It was endearing though. Then went and saw D. Sauls' room which is unfairly double in size to mine. But oh well, mine makes up for it with personality.
Now for the best part. Keith Urban Escape Together Tour at the Sommet Center in Nashville. Holy ...., it was utterly amazing!
Either way here are some pics from the concert and my dorm room.

- Nashville is an awesome city, and Broadway is like a street in my version of Heaven
- Sugarland opened. To say the least they played 3 songs that are about leaving home and living away from home. It was only then that I realized that I would actually miss my family and home. Yes, I randomly start to sob. It was just like all of a sudden and I was like wow, deep down I really love home.
- Keith Urban cheered me right up. The show was just that. An epic unbeatable show. Sweet and unexpected opening though with 'Hit The Ground Runnin'. His guitar work gave me chills, especially at the end of 'Till Summer Comes Around'. He added an epically amazing, building guitar solo. That just left me speechless and sent shivers running up my spine.
- I am honestly pretty much speechless about the whole thing, it was hard to figure out what to post here because there is just so much!
Either way here are some pics from the concert and my dorm room.

8/28/09 - Day 1
Hello Internet. Today I moved into my dorm. Exciting right? Well yes, and no. It was exciting in the way that its new and I'm going to be living here for the next 5 years, maybe more if I like the area and find a job here. The only downside to it was that move in day didn't go as well as I would like. I would trouble you with the details, but there aren't many of you. Hopefully I will have more readers further into the blog. I mean I'm going to be writing everyday for 4-5 years, and eventually making videos regularly.
Anyway, I got my room pretty much entirely put together; still have a few posters to put up and that kind of thing. The best part of moving in and setting up was that my room mate won't move in until tomorrow. So, I was able to set up the way I wanted to and organize the room in the way that best suited my living. Hence, my room looks awesome. I will upload some pictures of it later when I take them.
So that's my entry for today. I know its short, but I'm trying to keep it that way for a while. Tomorrow's entry may not be up until really late because I am going to the Keith Urban concert in Nashville. So bear with me. It will be up eventually and be quite interesting hopefully.

Listening: Some cool Arabic music

Summer Wrap Up
So summer is ending. In 1 day I will finally move into my dorm at Middle Tennessee State University. In celebration of this great event, I would like to take a look back on the summer. Primarily the movies and music I enjoyed all summer long.
The following are movies I saw in theaters between May and August. I have rated them on a scale from 1-10. A 1=Fail, 5=Fair, and 10=Fanfreakingtastic (Masterpiece). Only 1 movie I have seen has merited a 10, that being The Lord Of The Rings Trilogy.
X Men Origins: Wolverine - 7
Night At The Museum: Battle Of The Smithsonian - 3.5
UP - 6...5.5 for the 3D being pointless
Land Of The Lost - 6.5
The Hangover - 8
The Taking Of Pelham 123 - 4
Year One - 7
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen - 5
Ice Age: Dawn Of The Dinosaurs - 7
Public Enemies - 7.5
The Proposal - 7...7.5 the second time around
Drag Me To Hell - 3
State Of Play - 6
Star Trek - 8.5
My Sister's Keeper - 7
I Love You, Beth Cooper - 4
The Ugly Truth - 8.5
Funny People - 6
District 9 - 9
The Goods - 7
The Inglorious Bastards - 8.5
The Perfect Getaway - 6
The Time Traveler's Wife - 7
Post Grad - 5
Here are some of the CD's I purchased this summer, and ratings on the same scale as the movies.
Anjulie -Anjulie - 5
Brad Paisley -American Saturday Night - 5.5
Elvis Costello -Secret, Profane, and Sugarcane - 7
High Tide Blues (Live show at Seaside Amphitheater) - 8
Killswitch Engage -Killswitch Engage - 9
Placebo -Battle For The Sun - 8
Silversun Pickups -Swoon - 6.5
Thrice -Beggars - 9.5
AFI -Medicate Single - 5
So all in all the summer was pretty good. Lots of good times, plenty of good music and movies, and tons of free time. If I could change a few things about it, I would have had a job (I did try, but no one would hire me for just a summer), not worked at Grace, and gone to school sooner. Also, I probably would have done things a bit different with my relationships. Only a few though. A lot of people I lost touch with for good reasons and I'm really glad I got out of those when I did, but some things I did were just stupid, one thing I can think of specifically. I'm not going to go into that here right now though. Anyway, aside from these last 2-3 weeks of summer I've had a great time, and these last weeks I've just been bored because everyone else was already at school.
So that is my summer wrap up. I will post a lot more often once I get to school. Hopefully at least a short post every day, maybe more videos! Though I really need to get a Flip for that.
