 Update:

I recently got back from being a groomsman for one of my good childhood friends, Jeff. The wedding was nice and I am happy I got to see friends and family. I am now looking to attend college at Western Governors University. Yaoyao and I got a new corgi puppy from my dad's house. We decided to call him Timber. He likes to chew on Alaska's tail and run around a lot. Alaska turned three! I start my new orientation with Berkshire Hathaway on the 22nd of July 2021. I hope everything goes well. I still have time to do in the Air Force Reserve but I think it will go by rather quick with the new full-time co-worker. My dad seemed to be in good spirits when I met him. My mom also seems to be doing well. My mom and I have a plan to get her into her own place by February's time. Yaoyao is struggling with stress from working as a call taker. Covid-19 is still on the rise and the new Delta variant is taking the unvaccinated. Inflation is on the rise. The housing market looks uncertain, the used car market is high, and stocks and crypto took a big hit. All-in-all, things are not too bad. I feel like my mental health has improved slightly over the recent months.

My First Impressions While Attending UNLV

We're off to a great start becoming a UNLV Rebel! I am going for a BSBA in Information Management. I am currently pre-business and have to wait until I complete course requisites to declare my major officially. I am taking a large workload for the first semester at sixteen credits.
I am doing well in all my classes, except Math 124. The rest of the classes are interesting and fun to do the homework! English 101, Bus 103, PSC 101, and IS 101 are all great classes and I am learning a lot. My favorite assignment is a group project that we are doing in Bus 103. The assignment is to raise $500 and use the money to make kits to give to a charity of our choice. Since I am not performing strongly in Mat 124 I am going to seek a math tutor outside of class. I applied for an organization called RVF which is the Rebel Venture Fund. It is an organization that uses real money to invest in startups and performing due diligence with that company. I am excited to see if I get in because angel investors from other companies give you guidance.

Hi again,

I finished my first exam at the VA and they gave me an x-ray of my hand to see if there is any underlying damage. The Post 9/11 GI Bill certificate of eligibility still has not processed, but UNLV is able to accept a status of benefits to use the GI Bill for tuition. I am currently applying for jobs and I am looking at a part-time position on UNLVs campus. Yaoyao has been busy lately at work and is in her final stretch for her work probation. After she is released from the probational period she is allowed to take vacation time and I am excited to see where we will go next.

Leaving Active Duty Air Force

I have been missing the day to day grind of generating aircraft sorties lately. I am in limbo right now waiting on my disability rating and my Post 9/11 G.I. Bill certificate of eligibility. I am happy to say I reenlisted with the Air Force Reserves. I have been waiting roughly a month for all of these things to finalize.
Traded in my Black 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe R-Spec for a Black 2017 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab TRD Off-Road. So far, I'm in love with the truck. The wife likes it so that is a huge bonus. I was beyond happy that it fit in the garage.
