So two weeks ago we went to Six Flags – my friend Lauren, Tamara, and my brother all went down to St. Louis to the Six Flags down there…

Wait, two weeks ago?!

Yes, my friends – it has been awhile since I have last updated – and for that I am sorry. I have just been busy with work and such things, I have not had time to update really. Sorry about that!

So work has been going a lot better. In the beginning I wasn’t sure if this was what I really wanted to do, I mean I knew this was for my major but I wasn’t sure if I wanted to do all of the learning…again. The PHP language is difficult to use with Fusebox, a program we use. It was hard to get started and it was hard to understand.

And I just wasn’t getting it.

After about a week though, I felt like I did when I was learning Java. Basically diving into a black hole of no return, spiraling out of control – and ready to back out – to end, and to move on to something easier. Like going back to the Tech Team – back to fixing e-mail, printer, fax, computer, hardware, software, network, etc. problems.

However, after a few weeks in this new job – something must have clicked. I really did want to learn. If I didn’t, then I would have quit this job already and gone to someplace like Best Buy – a different black hole. ;-)

Now I feel very happy for my new job – maybe a new day has dawned but I want to learn more than ever. Dean just ordered some PHP books and I want to go through the tutorials already.

This is my Internship that is counting towards my degree – why not make the most of it?

Sorry about the lack of posting - I can’t really say that I have been busy, because we all know that that would be a lie. ;-)

I took off work from Wednesday to Friday (yesterday). Wednesday we ended up going to Six Flags - a story on that to follow…soon. ;-)

And then on Thursday I didn’t really do anything. See my stomach was hurting for most of the day on Thursday and then some yesterday, but today I feel a lot better. I think it was all of the fried food I ate at Six Flags. ;-)

Why did I title this entry “Nickelodeon’s Outreach” you may ask?? Let me tell you –

So anyways on Thursday I woke up and realized that it was June 1st. I also remembered something from a long time ago.

When I was in grade school - I loved Nickelodeon. Either way - there was this commercial, it showed a cartoon character of a person getting up on the first of the month. The person said something, and then the commercial said that if you say a specific phrase before you spoke anything else on the first of the month, you were to surely have good luck for the rest of the month.

I remember seeing this commercial a LOT of times.

I only remembered it one time, and it was in March, I remember waking up and saying the phrase when I was a lot younger. I did have good luck that entire month it seemed, but now I believe it was because it was the month of my birthday, and you know everyone always treat you some sort of special on your birthday one way or another… ;-)

So a few days ago, I wake up – you with me again?? - and I tried with all of my might to remember that stupid phrase for some reason. I remember once I got into high school I tried looking for the phrase on Nickelodeon and trying to watch for the commercial - it never came on. I think Nickelodeon yanked it a few years later - and it wasn’t enough time for me to remember to the phrase this month.

I’m laying in bed two days ago, staring up at the ceiling.

Since I couldn’t think of the phrase, I just said “Good luck to me and my family!”

Does anyone else happen to know this special phrases? I know it had the word “Bunny” in some form or another - it was a really weird phrase - LOL. :-)
