Gosh!

It is so annoying sometimes to blog. I mean managing all these webspaces and keeping people updated. It can become a chore. But because I love you guys I'm gonna keep it up.

Alright. I landed in Bakersfield. It is a good place despite what people say to the contrary. I like the people out here and the minority mix makes me feel more like I'm in Hawaii.

I'll tell you one thing. Green is a whole different color out here. People have MONEY. And this is what some people consider the BUTT of California. Wow! Well, it's all good for me because the dough flows into my pockets - you ain't see me complainin'.

The people - They are really nice. The culture is more accepting out here and people know how to have a little bit more fun. I like that. In work meetings my superiors joke about being alcoholics and we get to laugh. It is great. Today Carlos, one of the IT guys, got into this HUGE argument with Alison, one of the partner's daughters about this whole "Mexican Liberation" thing. I guess its a big deal out here.

Today over 1 million legal and illegal immigrants refused to show up for work. In LA alone half a million mexicans showed up and blocked of two downtown main streets. It was crazy. So yeah, you can imagine this little mormon white girl (the partners daughter) arguing with *dave raises his eyebrow* Carlos. Anyway it's loads of fun and we're all still friends.

I on the other hand have more important things to think about. Like time management. Last week I worked 60 hours and I think that is going to be my average. It seems like a lot but until you work 12 hour days plus 5 hours a Saturday, you don't know what you're getting. It's a little crazy. But I'm getting into the work and the people are amazing so I can't complain.

I have this little thing to prepare for called the LSAT and it is freaking me out. Imagine the hardest test you have ever taken. O.k. Now throw it away. The LSAT is FREAKIN' hard people and I can't perform as well as I want to. I'm currently scoring 170 which puts me in the 98th percentile. But I want/need (depending on your p.o.v.) a 175 which would put me deep into the 99th percentile. Basically, it's the difference between being 1 in 50 and 1 in 500. I want the 1 in 500 so I'm working my tail off. That takes time.

And to topp it all off I have 15 semester hours at the U starting on May 4th. That is going to be wonderful. All of them are internet classes and they are all generals that didn't transfer so they should be easy but 15 credit hours is going to kill me. You know what...I can do it. And when I ge a 4.0 I'll come on here and give all of you a high 5.

Alright. I've used my alloted 15 mins of internet time. It's time to get studying for the beast of a test. I'll see you guys in a week or so.

Peace Love and Everything in Between,

Davey From the Block.
