Filibuster Blog

I was hoping to publish a blog about my wonderful acceptance letter to the UK second degree BSN program last Friday when the decisions were supposed to have been made, but sadly none has arrived yet.    I figured it would come Monday, but that did not occur, and now it looks like I will have to wait a while longer.  Rather than leaving you all in the dark until that occurs, I decided to do what many politicians are fantastic at--and waste a bit of everyone's time.

Seriously though, life has been the usual hectic of balancing a night shift job with a day shift life.  I have now been off orientation for as long as I was on it, so I'm finally starting to feel like a regular employee.  I am also realizing that my job is a lot more challenging when there is only one of me, but it's a challenge I happily accept.

That being said, I was very pleased to be off this weekend.  Today Kyle and I went to the UK vs Jacksonville State University game and we did something I've never done before in my life; we left early. We were hardly the only ones.  With the way UK has been playing this season, I'm not surprised.  The stands were nowhere near full, and for someone who is an OSU alumni, where the football was awesome until our coach left last year (after numerous NCAA violations were uncovered, granted) this was an experience that was uncomfortable at best.

I also made a pleasant discovery:  My phone has a really nice camera and microphone compared to all my old ones.  So nice that I was able to upload two high-quality videos directly to YouTube.

Both are of the band, which Kyle was part of when he was an undergraduate.  We still have friends in it, so hopefully they can find themselves in the videos.  Supposedly we were on TV at the UK vs Louisville game for all of 1.2 seconds, which is always sort of fun.

Speaking of Louisville, tonight I am going to the Waverly Hills Sanitarium, a former tuberculosis hospital that is said to be "extremely haunted."  I am a big fan of haunted houses, and although most of them just plain suck, it's always a pleasant challenge to find good ones.  Kind of like watching horror movies, I'll admit.  Considering that this is the first Halloween-ish thing I've done all month, I plan to make the most of it.

Anyway, that was my filibuster blog.  Next one will have content that actually matters.
