Nuggins

My Music Appreciation class is testing my patience and fortitude. For three hours I sit in a chair and watch movies. Sounds alright in theory, but actually doing it is a pain. I'm actually counting down the weeks until that class is over.

I had a blood lipid panel done on wednesday for extra credit in my Nutrition class. The nurse was much of a phlebotamist, she stuck the needle in and kind dug around a second, it hurt like a two-penny shave.

Burnout

Working all day friday sorta burned me out, I was super lazy the rest of the weekend. I'm having a lipid panel done tomorrow for extra credit in my nutrition class so I'm on a fast. I'm also giving blood so both my arms will be outa comission. I'm planning on doing alota stuff tomorrow. I need to pick a package up at the post office, I need to apply for a passport, get a ps2 game I've pre-ordered, start an essay, study for a listening exam, and finalize a presentation I'm giving next tuesday. I'm thinking about starting out early so I hope to get to bed in a timely manner.

I was talking with a friend and she called me a prude because I've never kissed anybody or been in a serious boyfriend/girlfriend relationship. I'm not really sure what to think about that. I know myself pretty well, and I think that if I got seriously involved with a girl (lady actually, I'm getting a bit too old to call women girls) it would have to pretty really sincer. I get extremely attached to people I care about, and if I were to romantically love someone I think in the process I'd give something up to her that would be pretty darn irreplacable. I think I'd be permanently changed.

All in a Day's Work

Today I just stayed home and typed. Except for an hour and a half I had for lunch all I did was schoolwork. I typed out around 16 pages of work, finished a 50 question take home test, and filled out a western civ. study guide. I hope to round off my weekend by typing a three page essay and filling out a nutrition study guide, then I hope to start a 12 page report on imperialism which I'll take do two pages a day.

Hoo-Rah!

I'm doing all this so my work doesn't get all scrunched up at the end of the year.

15 weeks until I leave for Africa!

Pretty Good

Yesterday was "Pretty." It was in the low seventies, birds were out, got the definate feeling that spring is waiting in the wings. A coupla more weeks and then it'll be spring.... and then summer
:(. Summer sucks. It's too hot. I kinda enjoy low ninety degree weather but when it starts to tip the 100s I kinda wilt over.

Hume

I got back from Hume Lake two days ago. I was super tired when I got back, I didn't sleep much and I'd had long days. I think it went well, we had a cabin with the bathroom on the inside, and the kids got along with each other well. The speaker, a John Navarro, hit it off with the jr. highers, but they were mostly ambivalent about the band, "Moi." It snowed quite a bit, it was great.

It was most likely the last time I'll go to Hume, and I was sad about that. I've been going there since fifth grade, and I'm going to miss it. The coffee shop there makes the best chocolate milkshakes I've ever had.

I still haven't heard from Wheaton, so it looks like I'll be heading out to MA come fall. On the brightside of things I get a 8K scholarship for my grades if I decide to go there (Gordon).

I'm going to gang rush the rest of my school work in hopes of finsihing it all before my schedule gets cluttered.

Sleepless Weekend

I'm leaving for a jr. high winter camp in an hour or two. To be honest I'm not entirely looking forward to this because I won't be getting much sleep, that is I probably won't get any. I'm also kinda apprehesive because I'm the only male leader going. It should be snowing, so that should be nice...

:(

I'm sad.....

.... Anyways... I'm having a hard time waiting for the last of my acceptance/rejection letters. This one coming up is the one I care the most about, and I'm feeling grumpy.

The Hume Lake Jr. High Winter Camp is coming up this weekend. I'm the only guy counselor going this year so I'm worried 'bout it. It'll be snowing so it should be a gas.

I'm getting really busy, I'm practicing guitar, exercising, and doing school work weeks before it's due. Hopefully I won't be stressed when the end of the semester rolls 'round because of the actions I'm taking today.

As of Late.....

I must admit that I have been quite occupied as of late. I'm trying to get a jumpstart on a 12 page essay, but am having a hard time applying myself.

A great anticipation has gripped me, I really appreciate TPTB when things are made somewhat clear. My course for the next two years is nearly set, now it's simply a matter of location.

******

I think I'm getting better at playing the guitar. I'm faster at chord transitions, but fingerpicking is giving me grief because I can't use my index finger very well to make bars.

I'm hungry......

Bill

I finally got the bill for my car, and it's going to be 1000+ dollars. I have the money but it still stings quite a bit.

I'm tired, I've had alot of work the last four days, and feel like I need a vacation or something.

Now With 3Xs the Roots!

On the way to the dentsit my car brokedown. On the bright side of things my teeth are have roots that are 1/3 longer than most people (according to my xrays). I hope the car makes out alright. I can see my tax return disapearing already.

I now have a month and 10 days before I find out if I was accepted into a college.
