Now that it's been just over two months since I last updated, I figure it's about time I do so. Now part of me would say, "What's the point!? Nobody's left a single comment in over two months! They obviously don't care!"... but then the other side of me knows that at least my wonderful mommy checks this to know about my updated life. So if nothing else, this is for you Mom  =)

Up until recently there hasn't been a whole lot that's been of much interest. Summer time has been quite wonderful. The stress level in life has been idling quite low. I can sleep in relatively late each day. I have little responsibilities like mowing the lawn (which I still enjoy because I was never able to do in China and it just smells good), doing the dishes, cleaning the house, and whatnot. But other than those things, there's not a whole lot I have to do other than go to work. Carla and I have been working quite a bit. I'm assuming anybody who's reading this already knows, but a couple months she was promoted at the Boys and Girls Club, so now she's full time as "Assistant Teen Director" I believe is the title. That's good for her. 
And the reason I was inspired to update today in particular is that just yesterday I was promoted as well. For the last.... more than three years now (I think) I have been fortunate enough to be one of the world's most wonderful employees............ a telemarketer. I know that more people don't have the most tender feelings towards people of my profession, but if I ever called you, you'd feel different. I've always been very good at my job. Whether I was working for Fairfield, MCI, Escapes, Grand Crown (Boooooo), or CST... I've always tried to do the best I could to be the best at my job and represent God even as a telemarketer.  The cool part is that through time people have noticed the way that I'm not the average loser who cusses all the time and doesn't take his job seriously. No offence any telemarketers out there, but you know that's pretty much the way it is.  It's like.... it's a great big black whole for a great many of the rejects of society. That + a couple dozen highschoolers who aren't mature enough to pick out their own clothes yet.
So anyways, I've always done my best to be good at my job even if it was telemarketing. Although this has neven gone unnoticed, in that my bosses always ended liking me the best , recently it was noticed in a different way.
There was need for a new manager at CST and Tyrone (one of the guys in charge there) asked me if I would be "hypothetically" interested in the possition if it were possible. I said sure.  A week later, aka yesterday, I got promoted.  So technically I'm still in in training for a few days, but I'll pretty much be a manager of my own team now. I'm pretty excited about it. It doesn't pay thousands more a month than being on the phones, but it should be a bit more and certainly more reliable than having to stress myself out trying to keep up with bills .   Now some of you might recall hearing me say on several occasions that the only job that's more stressful than being a telemarketer is being a telemarketing supervisor. While I still hold this to be true for more places, I don't think this will be the case with my job at CST. The other mangers there seem to really enjoy their jobs. They do less yelling, stressing, and knasing of teeth and a lot more mentoring, monitoring, and assisting. That's what I'm about.   And by the way.... my team's going to KICK BUTT!!!! 

So anyways, just felt that after working over three years in this aprticular (looked down upon) profession, being promoted was someting that was worthy of being mentioned here.  So to anyone who cares... I'm the man!

Love God.
Enjoy life.
Enjoy the summer.   ..... it will end.... =(        

(summer, not life)  

Well... I suppose life will eventually end too. Depending on your definition.   ok... shutting up now.    =)

Hello peoples.
Yes, it's that time again!  The time when everybody starts talking about how wonderfully close to the end of the semester they are and how excited they're getting to finally be done with either the semester or all of school!  For me it's just the semester because I'll have one more semester next year before I finish, but for Carla... this is the end of the road! Three weeks from now she'll be done with all of it and rid of the craziness!  
Unfortionately, I know from previous experience that this short time of excitement will soon pass and give way to the phase where people start freaking out about the finals that they were so excited about before. The lack of sleep combined with the intense pressure will cause people's eyes to look like there are evil creatures lurking inside, they will become either really grumpy all the time or hyper from lack of sleep, all their conversations will begin revolving around which finals they've completed... which ones they have yet to do... and how they should have dropped certain classes two weeks ago before it was too late. *sigh*       Such is life...

As for me, I'm fairly optomistic about everything. I'm going to be taking just the right amount of hours next semester to be full time and get the grants and whatnot that I need.  That also means that I'll only be taking 13 hours... so that means that it'll be easy!    

And once again... I'm PSYCHED about the cruise that waits for me in three weeks!  Mwaaahahahahah!!!

Yeah, yeah, it's been over a month since I posted anything.  Get over it .

I had to mow the lawn for the first time in like... 5 or 6 months yesterday. That was nice for a change. A sign that winter is over and spring has come. Springfield is looking beautiful these days. Just about every tree all over the place is all pretty and stuff. I like 
School is..... school.   Same old stuff, just over and over.  I'm still frustrated with my Theo IV class because the stupid immature people won't shut up enough for me to hear what the professor is saying half the time.  The good side of school is that I got a 100% on my Marriage Counseling test a couple days ago. The reason that's significant is that my professor is brother Vigil... it's very, very hard to get a 100% on a Vigil test. But I did =)    Anyways...

I don't really have much to say.  My work is going fairly well. I've been working really hard to keep in target to make the amount of sales that I need to make top comission. Every day it seems to get harder, but I'm keeping up so far.
All I've been able to think about for the last week or so is the fact that summer is coming. Just about one month and there will be now more homework to have done every single morning. I won't have to get up at the buttcrack of dawn every day and force my brain to function even though it says, "NO! I can't do this again!!"   Summer is a good thing .
Carla and I will be going on a cruise to celebrate our 1st year anniversary too. Granted it'll be about a month before our actually year-to-date, but we had to schedule it that way because of the cruise schedules.  Either way... I'm pretty stinkin' psyched that we're going on a cruise again.  For those out there who haven't tried a cruise yet, DO IT! It's amazingly, wonderfully, spectacularly, great!  So affordable compared to other forms of vacation.  Carla and I are going on a 5 day cruise to the Bahamas and we're only paying about $300 as piece for it.  Think about it... if you just spent 5 days at a nice hotel you'd probably spend that much. Not to mention the fact that you get FREE FOOD the entire time! And you're surrounded by the beautiful ocean thousands of miles way from the places that stress you out.   *sigh*..... it's good .   
Anyways... I'm looking forward to it.

Name: Wesley Williams

Location: Classroom

Occasion: During the long and strenuous answer to a question that someone asked in class.

I’ve been sitting here for the last 16 minutes listening to the very lengthy answer to a question that someone asked in class about the idea of adding to scripture. While appreciate the thoroughness of answers in class, I can’t help but imagine that there had to be some kind of idea in my teacher’s head before class as to what we were actually supposed to talk about today. My main concern here is me thinking, “Please don’t skip talking about something that will be on the test”.

During the first 15 minutes I thought I’d listen to what was being said… and granted I still am partly… but I have decided that I should not do something more productive. And as we all know, that’s update my xanga! So thanks to the wonderful genius of Jordan Drake (who’s reading over my shoulder) all of you reading this get to… read this…
Anyways… I thought I’d be cut off by now with class getting back to where it was supposed to, yet… that is not the case. We’re still talking about random stuff.
*sigh* 
Ok, I’m done now.   It was a pleasure making this update.  Farewell

No Time

Yeah, I just got 100% on a quiz that i had to take online . Which is good, because that's the first one I've gotten 100% on since the semester started  =)    I only have like 4 classes that I go to this semester and two of them are with this professor Johns guy. He's fairly cool (in a dorky sort of way), but the main thing that makes is classes a little bit of a drag is that he requires us to take online quizzes every other day of class. And since I have him in two classes... I'm pretty much having to take a quiz online almost every day. *sigh*   It's not like they're incredibly difficult, but it stresses me out when I think of how absent minded I am. I'm just afraid I'll forget to take it some night and won't be able to do it .   Anyways... quizzes are fun... *sigh*

Actually I don't really have much else to say right now. I figured this out after sitting her at the computer, stairing around at the room, trying to think of something worth saying, and yet... here I am... saying nothing really.  School's ok, work's doing really well, and my friends are awesome.  Oh yeah, and I happen to have the most amazing wife in the universe. Other than that, have a nice day!
