I’ve just found that the idea of performing is incredibly unappealing.

I got stuck with an awful teacher for the term, nothing like the one I had way-back-when. Too bad, too, I used to love to sing.

I finally finished the Book of Revelation, which was a trip. I actually wound up taking a class on the New Testament thisyear, which helped me with the goal. Definitely was an interesting experience, and I’m glad I did it once.

It’s wonderful, but i’m not on 43t quite often enough to justify it, unfortunately. maybe i’ll be back in the future!

Definitely good. and the final episode was well done, and had a nice finality to it. though now i miss the series…

right now, my laptop isn’t functioning correctly. i really need to take it to the shop, but it’s a little expensive. on the other hand, i desperately need it for school… so i need to get myself to take it to be fixed, pronto.

I’ve done it, barely. Though Mom & Dad still won’t loan me the car or let me drive alone, i’m actually capable of driving fairly long distances without much supervision (they’re more worried about my sense of direction than skill).

Since our financial situation is somewhat problematic, this may not be able to happen soon, since my school wants about $2400, which leaves me with nowhere near enough money to buy the nice Mac I wanted. Here’s hoping, though.

The plans I had for visiting SF this summer fell through, so this item will have to wait a while. I’m not giving up, since this is just a setback!

So I’m almost finished with season 5. I’ve decided that I miss Angel, and am ambivalent about Glory as the nemesis. Overall, though, the series is fun. Spike is absolute hilarity incarnate.

I managed to get a B- in stats, which is close enough to a B! it also means my overall gpa hasn’t dropped below a 3.2 yet, which is fabulous.

Well, it’s not the dream job, but it gets me $8/hour, and considering it’s seasonal employment, I’m satisfied! I work at the local co-op.

While for a while I thought that she didn’t want me to come because we had a bit of a falling-out, it looks like I’m good to go, which I am PSYCHED about.

A few weeks have gone by, and I haven’t chewed on any nails! My pinky on my left hand is short, but that’s because the nail broke (I didn’t chew it!). Oddly enough, the left-hand nails are growing considerably faster…

I’ve sent three letters out, randomly, in the last few weeks. It’s been fun!

Well, I have my final exam in two days. BRING IT ON!

I did this with a couple of friends. It took us about 12 hours (with food & walk breaks interspersed) and was hugely fun. We would all be watching silently and then all pick the same line to quote, or have a random running commentary/trivia share during the movie. It was a glorious Tolkien day. :)

there’s a certain irony that I’m adding this goal at 1:31 am.

Whenever I think of my late grandparents, I cry. Partly because some of them I never really knew well enough, and some I didn’t communicate with well at all. Sometimes I find myself wishing my grandfather could see me now, and see what I’m doing in school… I like to think he’d be proud of me for following in his footsteps. My mother says he would be, but I would have loved to have heard it from him. He had such great stories and such a great sense of humor. Along with my parents, he was my biggest fan, and I miss him so much sometimes. I loved him, and I don’t know if he ever knew how much, you know? He was a man with a big heart, and he had a big, tall frame to house that heart.

I think it’s time to let him go though. I’ll keep him in my heart and memory, but it’s time to let the man rest and enjoy his peace. He was a good man, and he deserves it.

So a couple of friends and I were (being touristy) in San Francisco (there to see a mutual friend) and walking along the bay and saw a bottle bobbing in the water. One of my friends waded in to get it… and there was no message! :( So we wrote our own, and prefaced it with, “Well, I fished this out of the ocean, but it had nothing in it. So here’s a message for you:” and then just said nice things. No contact information, I really don’t want to know… I don’t care… but it was just a fun experience.
