Been a while since I last blogged…no live shows or exciting developments.  Maybe Phish will get a fall tour going in November-December, and I’ll be able to get my groove on mid-semester.

Anyway….

On Monday I started my last year at Michigan Tech. Slated to graduate in December, I have since changed majors, went on Co-Op, keeping me in Houghton until May. Given the job market and the way things have played out in my life within the last year, I am glad that I have this opportunity to stay in school with as little responsibility as possible for the extra five months. I’ve now got the time to look at what I’ve accomplished, put together a professional portfolio, and to start looking for a job….in the Houghton area.

Stacy still has 2 years of Nursing school left. I will not be leaving Houghton anytime soon. As pessimistic as many are about finding a job in the Houghton area for at least two years after I graduate, I’m feeling alright. I can always work part time for a business doing something relatively similar to what I want to do, and then do freelance work on the side.   Anyway, there are plenty of things to ponder after I graduate, first I have to complete the following courses:

The American Experience – This class focuses on the history of the United States from the Revolution through WWI.   This is the first of my classes to get my minor in American Studies

American Foreign Policy – This class is exactly as it sounds.   It focuses on the domestic and international effects of decision making in regard to the United States’ foreign policy.

Environmental Policy and Politics – This class focuses on the issues we face in a free market society, and why it doesn’t necessarily coincide with being “Evironmentally Friendly”  This is more or less a problem-solving type of course.

Media and Communication – This class focuses on new types of media, and what is happening with the old types of media.   This type of class is the kind of class that really makes me want to apply for grad school.

Adv. Practicum in Scientific and Technical Communication – This class is also known as the “Senior Capstone” class for STC majors at Michigan Tech.  I’m not exactly sure what this class consists of, but I know it supposed to help push me to the next level with everything I have learned the past four years.

I am continuing to work at COMPASS, the Outdoor Adventure Program, and the Challenge Course this fall.   Between my three jobs, 15 credits, and other miscellaneous projects, I should keep myself pretty busy.

Tomorrow I am getting some engagement photos taken by Juskuz Photography.  I should have some images posted of my ugly face relatively soon.

A few good pholks have been working on a documentary about Phish Phans, and they released a “teaser” 24 hours before Phish officially starts their first tour in five years, starting tonight at Fenway Park in Boston.    I was excited to see the trailer to the film, “Maybe So, Maybe Not,” and even more excited to see my former teacher and good Phriend Jnan Blau in the clip.

20 more days until Alpine Valley!

Hi Folks,

Recently I completed this brochure.  Just figured I’d share….

Let me know what you think!

Outdoor Enthusiasts,

Now’s the time! Bring your gear into the OAP all this week!

We are (as you know) located in the MUB room G002, next to the Keweenaw Commons food mall. 

Remember, there is no cost to put something into the swap. If it sells, we’ll hand you an envelope full of money (you set the price), if it doesn’t sell then you can pick it up the week after. It’s the only risk free way to make money you’ll find in today‘s economy. 

If you have any questions at all, please contact us:

See you Saturday!
