Had a blast working at Country USA this year. I missed working last year since I had a class that interfered with the schedule. It was good to be back and see everyone again. I’m honored that people still remember me. We all wear red security shirts that don’t give us much individual identity.

Time went really fast. I worked both the festival and my summer job at once. It was pretty brutal, but I’m looking forward to getting paid twice this week. Maybe I can squeeze in a short vacation this summer.

My picks for show stealer’s this year are Emerson Drive and Montgomery Gentry. In my opinion, they got the fans going the most.

Regardless of where I end up after graduating, I might start flying to Oshkosh every year to work Country USA. I’m building ties that are making it hard to officially leave Wisconsin.

In closing, a friend at the event gave me some good advice. It’s only one word..

The semester is over. I’m back in Appleton for the summer, and working for the city as a sanitation laborer. Mainly, I’m a trash picker for overflow. From a college student’s eyes, you’d be amazed at what people throw away. I’ve only been working for a couple weeks now, and I’ve bailed a few apartments worth of stuff. It’s great exercise too.

In regards to updates. I’ve been thinking of ditching Wordpress and just using a VOX blog. As much as I like to customize my layout, I actually spend more time staring at my source code than posting entries. I’m thinking I’ll post more regularly if I don’t have so many customizable options available.
