The Chronicles of John Trammell

Hello everyone,      Today i drove out to the desert in Palm Springs and took my driver's test and.....I GOT MY LICENSE....yay.....now i can drive all over...yay

For those who don't know i was in Nebraska from last sunday till tonight.  And lets say i had a better time with the weather from when i was there in february of 2005 when it was 35 degrees for the high.  I was in sacramento on Saturday and stayed at Steven Workers apartment for the night.  The next day we flew out to Omaha Nebraska, waited for Jess to land, and drive to the state capitol of Lincoln.   We stayed at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in the city campus.  The dorms were just remodeled so it was awsome.  The first person that i ran into was Jacob, we were on the National 4-H Technology Team together.  The next day we picked up Emily from the lincoln airport and we went to have fun. I was doing movie making and we were given a scriped and video clips, we had to make it work.  It is called Chaseing love and it is not that great but it was fun editing it.  During the conference jess, emily, and I went geocaching which was awso...

For those who didn't know, i took my driver's test on tuesday at the Redlands DMV.  I failed.  This is why.  If you have 3 errors you fail.  There was one error where one person has the right away but he was moving so slow and was far away i decided not to wait, because i don't like to wait.  Well the next 2 hits were driving too slow.  I was driving slow in the intersections of a 45 mile per hour zone.  My parents told me to slow down alittle just incase the light changes.  It is safer so you don't end up running a red light.  I was going 38 miles per hour in the intersections.  Now the other count was going to slow on an part of the road. But there was road construction and you are supposed to go 25 MPH but he wanted me at 45.  My dad felt this guy needed to get fired because he is telling use stuff in which can harm our lifes and stuff.  I didn't care much to fight because it would make me look bad even more.  So now i ...

Well, i got home from my computer corps meeting and i found out that the our air conditioning was brocken....,IT IS SO DAMN HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I feel like im melting away.....we hope we can get it fixed tomorrow because i can't work like this in the heat, the heat just messes you up when in the 100's.  So for now im just going to have to DIE!!!! 

Well, im writing from UC Davis at the Computer Corps meeting.  Most of the day was all buisness, we did talk about some webstuff.  One thing that is great is that i had my work done before the meeting, on time....we are missing some of our members this weekend and the meetings are just not the same with out them.  We went to dinner then talked all about website, which  i am way behind in all of that and so it got real boring, so i was working on the club website and other computer corps stuff.  I am just now putting everything away and going to sleep, and tomorrow is just going to be about one conference which wont be that fun but it has to be done.  Well, peace out, the next time i write i most likely will be telling you about my trip to the National 4-H Technology Conference in Lincoln, Nebraska.

I knew i was going to have to get a job sooner or later, filling out all the applications and looking from head to toe for one.  Well, i got a phone call from the county office saying that the University of California Riverside was looking for a webmaster for Operation Military Kids (Having military families kids in 4-H Clubs) and they loved my work and would love to hire me.  I never heard of a job finding you, i always thought you were suposted to find the job....strange how that works.  So this friday i will be at UCR going over everything that i need to do and most likely as long as they don't mind that i have to leave for 4-H stuff in August, i will have the job.  I will only work for 10-15 hours a week for now, with a pay of $12.00-$15.00 an hour.  I am so happy that this has happened.  So we will see on friday what happenes and i will let all of you know.

My 4th of July was better then what i would have planned out.  I first went with my grandma to the highland 4th of July parade.  It was ok, but it is mostly old cars and stuff....there were some awesome cars i do say.  And i got candy =)  At the end of the parade the fire men got an emergency call so they stopped where they were, put on there fire protection clothing and zoomed off into the city out of the parade.  Afterwards my grandma and I met up with my aunt for lunch, she lives in Riverside so we don't get to hang out much.  After lunch i finally got home and was able to work for a little while before heading out again for my mom's side of the families 4th of July party....at there farm in Yucaipa.  The family all got into the pool and we played water volley ball.....my team lost by one point because I'm a bad server..lol....afterwards we had a great BBQ and then sat on the lawn of the farm looking at the fireworks being shot off from the Yucaipa ...

Today was one big day.....An good friend of the family was throwing a party for 4th of July at there cabin up in the mountains in Crestline.  They always shoot fireworks over Lake Gregory the weekend before 4th of July or on the weekend that 4th of July is on.  They don't want the city to be crouded on a weekday up there.  So I drove up the mountain, it was very interesting but in a way fun driving in the curves.  The party was ok, played lots of air hocky and almost killed some little kids doing so....lol...The fireworks where awsome, we just had to walk down the road and we had a great view of the lake and the fireworks....It was awsome because the thunder from the fireworks would ecco off the mountains tops which made it better.  Afterwards we when to hang out a little bit more before we went home...My dad drove because im not that good at driving at night and driving in the mountains at night takes some skills.....which i don't have yet....lol.
