College Career
Lets see..a few updates on life.
I graduate in a couple of weeks - Dec 16th & 17th. Theres several people coming down - I’m surprised at how many.
My internship with the US Marhals ended today..I think I’ll miss it. We went to the range on Friday and I fired my first Glock (.40 & .45) with a holster pull (my first too). I also got to shoot the Kahr P9# a subcompact 9mm, and an MP5. What a sweet gun. Either I’m a good shot or thats a really really easy gun to shoot. Probably the latter. I also got to ‘qualify’ and did alright. I was about 25 points under the average and had I known the signifigance of each shot I think I could have done better. Not bad for zero training though.
In other news I have a herniated disc in my back. And it sucks. This puts all of my plans at risk because I may have to have surgery. I won’t know anything further than that until the 12th but with my luck I’m going to have a miserable end to 05 and beginning of 06. It’s pretty depressing.
A couple of weeks ago though I went shopping with Megan in Smithfield and was sitting outside waiting on her when I was approached by non other than a Raleigh News & Observer reporter. She asked me a few questions and for the most part got what I said right. I either mispoke, or she mis quoted..I chauffeured, NOT chaperoned her down there. Heres the article for kicks.
My college career comes to an end next Friday. Here’s a picture of something nice to alleviate the stress of trying to get fixed, and get a job all before my bills come due.

The internship was an optional course to take for my degree. I chose US Marshals, found the closest office (usually where a Federal court house is). My instructor got the ball rolling for me, I interviewed and got it.
I highly recommend it if you’re getting a degree.
Any law enforcement agency for that matter.
