Im back

I'm back, Ha. Yeah so I know it's been a while but summer was way to busy to stop and write on my blog. With that being said I suppose I shall start there.

Summer involved two steady jobs and other odds and ends for family and friends. I had an internship in Beloit with the police department and I also did some metal fabrication work for a friend of the family. Overall it involved 70+ hours a week and 6+ days a week. At times it seemed overwhelming but in the end it was well worth it. I gained valuable life experience and a great amount of experience for a potential career in law enforcement. I saw more things than imagined while working with them and got to experience first hand what its like to the work they do. A short list of what I was able to experience includes traffic patrol, drug search warrants, shootings, and even a murder. Overall it was unbelievable but it only lasted for the first two months of the summer. Then I retired for the summer. lol

The beginning of August was the beginning vacation for me. We started with a staycation where in the matter of a week I was in Chicago, West Lafyette Indiana, Gurne Illinois, Baraboo, Eau Claire, and Green Bay. I had a great time visitng my cousins school, Purdue, in Indiana, going to Navy Pier in Chicago along with the Shed Aquarium, going to Six Flags, and relaxing at the camp ground in Baraboo and with Michelle and the fam in Green Bay. After all of that fun was over I then went to the UP in Michigan with many friends from school and had a blast. These three weeks extremely fun and a good time for me to get away from work and relax before surgery and school.

The last week in August involved a few trips to Madison for some Doctors apointments which resulted in an ACL and meniscus repair in my right knee. Sugery went well and rehab is going well too but it bugs me that I can't do anything!! Overall it's a bummer but at least it was at the end of the summer and at least I still have all my digits. (Sorry Chad)

Now that school is under way I am excited and ready for the semester to be rolling and for me to be elbow deep in work. I have enough to do to keep me busy but not too much so I can enjoy the last semester of school. I am looking to graduate in December but have a few more classes to go until I am ready. Overall it looks to be a promising semester and I am ready to dive in!
