I finally submitted the paperwork to take a weekend off from work. I really need a vacation, what with juggling school and work, driving 65 miles (105km) each way every weekend. I'll be taking the weekend off on the first weekend of August. My plan is to go down to south Florida, visiting my best friend and my mom. I haven't visited my mom since she moved down south so I can't wait. It's a well deserved time off!

On the other hand, I came down with a chest cold and sore throat. I've already brought out the "big guns" and pumping myself so full of drugs. Hopefully it's enough that the illness won't get worse. I doubt it'll last more than a week or so. I wouldn't want anything to jinx my vacation. :)

So anyway, I finally got around to downloading Google Earth and have been playing with it. Click Read More to see what I've been doing.

I took screenshots of various places, which can be viewed below:

This is my apartment (right where the road takes a sharp turn, in the center.) This is where I live during the week while I'm going to school.

This is my father's house, where I lived from when I was 14 up until I moved out of the house at 21 years old. I stay there over the weekend while I go to work.

This is where I work, CompUSA. You can't see much here and we're actually a smaller store than usual (I think 6,000 square feet instead of the standard 15,000) but I do like it there (sometimes.) The big red structure to the left is McDonalds. We get discounts there but I don't go there often because the food gives me the runs. :P (Not that you had to know this little detail, of course...)

The University of Central Florida, where I study. The map reminds me of Atlantis, with the three concentric circles. Pretty strange, huh? But it's a hella good school and I'm proud to be a Golden Knight.
