Day 3: 8/31/2011

Today is already the last day of August, that's just crazy. School has started, work at the court house is almost done and that means bills are due...

I started today off by stopping at my ISP and canceling my internet service. NooOo! My wonderful 50Mbps download speeds are gone!! Oh well. I'm just going to start using and paying for Caity's because we'll be moving in together soon enough anyways. But then I went to the court house and put in my eight hours.

Luckily, after a long day, I got to go and have supper with my brothers. Chicago style pizza from Papa Murphy's and beer is a pretty well balanced meal. After some Phi Kap talking, Jeff and I started brainstorming personal website ideas for him. He ended up just going with an About.me website also. It's the easiest and would be really easy to forward a domain to that page later.

And now I get to go to bed. I'll be up at 6am again tomorrow to drive to Madison for another round of classes. Wish me luck!

Day 2: 8/30/2011

It's already day two of my little project! It's going so fast! But here we go, the second post in the series.

Today was the first day of my senior year at Dakota State. Woke up at 6am to be able to drive all the way to Madison for my 8am Wireless Communications class. I've got a couple of interesting teachers. One that has quite an accent and another that is a little old fashioned. Other than that everything is going to be really fun this year. Finally stuff is getting real and this is the kind of information I want to be learning.

After a short choir meeting and the start of my Windows Administration class I drove home to Sioux Falls and got a haircut! This time I got it sooner rather than later, so I wouldn't have to deal with it being WAY to long.

I ended the night by grilling a couple brats and writing my personal website from scratch. It's very About.me-ish but without the the extra little things they add to promote themselves. Katie took the picture when we were down in Vermillion the last time and I thought it would make a nice background. You can check it out at DevonSchreiner.com.

Day #2 down, only the rest of my life to go.

Day 1: 8/29/2011

Alright, so here it is. I am now going to blog every day, just to talk a little bit about what I'm doing and what's going on in my life. This is something I don't really think is going to do much for anyone else, but it will help me write more as well as serve as a journal I can go back and look at anytime I want.

So I'm going to get right in. Today started my fifth to last day at the court house. I know this now because I just called Mac Pros this afternoon and told them I would take the job there. So I will be starting work there on Sept. 12th. It should be a lot of fun, or at least I think so.

After work, I also got to start my Database Management Systems class at the University Center. There are a couple of old guys in the class that have no idea what they are doing and they got kind of annoying.

Then the big moment came, I decided to write this blog post. I'm starting something big here. Challenging myself to write something every single day for the rest of forever is a big deal. I know that I won't do it every single day for the rest of my life, but I think it would be fun to be able to look back after doing it for a couple years. I am also really excited because I got Katie Stumpf, my girlfriend to do it with me! Here is the blog she is using.

So there it is! Probably longer than most of these posts are going to be, but this is it. This is what I wanted to do. Just a snapshot of my life today. Mission Accomplished. Tomorrow: The same exact thing.
