Looking for a To-Do list
This is an issue that haunts people day and night: What To-Do list application should I use?
If you know anything about me, I am the type of person who gets things done typically in order of mental priority. It's a bit of a burden. So! Last night while laying in bed, I decided that when I woke up I needed to find a good To-Do app of some kind to keep my mind focused on tasks I may have and to make sure I remember the shit I need to do.
My options based on 20 minutes of research are these:
- To-Do for the iPhone
- This seems like a pretty sweet application with many uses, but $10? That's a little rough.
- Google Tasks on the iPhone
- I had no idea this existed, and the benefit is that it would sync to my GMail account so I could access this stuff all over--seeing that I use every aspect of Google that I can.
- The only issue I have with this option is that it runs through the iPhone's browser and isn't it's own app which makes it a tad annoying.
- Pen & Paper agenda
- I'm talking about using a small agenda that I carry around 24/7 to keep track of everything.
- In all honesty, this seems like my best choice.
My decision is pretty much made, but if anyone has any better suggestions I'd like to hear them. I hate having a terrible memory...
Getting involved
I've been at GVSU for three and a half years now. It's really crazy to think about for me. Three and a half years of knowledge, partying, friends, enemies, good times, and bad times. So much stuff.
Although the main goal of going to college is to ultimately get a degree in something and use that degree to get some high paying job and blah blah blah, I have to say that, when it comes down to it, getting involved outside of academics was the best choice I could have ever made at GVSU.
Three fantastic things have come out of me getting involved:
- I've met and kept many great friends
- I've created something I am overly proud of despite it's many flaws
- That would be my TV show, 'Jeff & Mike Write A Comic Book'
- I've discovered how much I like to talk to groups of people, especially those I'm comfortable with
Welcome to the new year
2010. Welcome.
So. This year began with high hopes. D&D with some friends, then blammo: My house got robbed. Not like "100% everything gone" robbed, but more like "we're taking your video games and probably coming back for more" robbed. $2400 worth of stuff taken in a two hour timeframe. Yeah. We filed a police report, got some finger prints taken around the house and were told to tighten security.
The next day after not sleeping, I, along with everyone but one of my room mates, got the fuck out of dodge. You can't call somewhere you live your house if you don't feel safe sleeping there.
Now, I'm currently residing at my parents house looking to sublease my room as well as all the other vacant rooms in the house. If you know anyone willing to live in a cheap house in the south-east side of Grand Rapids, let me know.
As for now: I'm just looking to find somewhere to live. Allendale looks good, but it all depends on if I can find somewhere and afford it. (My buddy Brian and I are looking towards the trailer park just across from GVSU)
Let's just say these last few days have been crazy. Lack of sleep, too much sleep, breakfasts made of turkey-jerky and cigarettes plus D&D. Here's to hoping this year can only go upwards.
I'd also like to thank everyone on Twitter who were supportive of everyone at the house. We all really appreciated it.
For now, I'm looking forward to just going back to school and getting back into a somewhat regular schedule. I'm keeping a positive attitude in that sense.
Now, back to my Degrassi marathon on TeenNick. Man I'm a sucker for this stuff.
