4:10 pm	A few things here and there...... Well all today can be summed up to as an epic fail day. I dislocated my right knee cap.... again in pointe technique today. That was the highlight of my day thus far. It was the end of class and we were doing pique arabesque chassé grand tour jeté. Demetry and myself were doing then across the floor and Libby was yelling higher HIGHER!!!!!! So I went higher and now I can't dance in the faculty dance recital a week from tomorrow. I love irony for the sole reason I wanted to quite recently and now I have a legit reason for not dancing. Sometimes my life works out for the best. Now on to older news. I took my MCAT about two months ago and didn't do so hot. I wasn't surprised that I had a low score, I am a poor test taker at best. So now I have been doing a little soul searching and found that my desire for wanting to be a doctor is a little shallow and misdirected. I really only wanted to be one, A for the money, B so I had a straight path to a future, and C so that I would have some job security for the future. Everyone needs a doctor right? Notice that helping others is not on the list at all. I actually hate people and could do without dealing with them. But that's just me. Now I think that going to grad school is the best option. During my TAing I have noticed that as much as I complain about dealing with freshmen, I do enjoy teaching them and I like the material. They have a genetics problem set due tomorrow, and I enjoy helping them because I enjoy what I'm doing. I think that might be an accurate path to take. I'm seeing a PhD in Genetics somewhere in my future. Now getting into grad school is the hard part. I don't want to take the GRE because I feel that I will do poorly on them just the same as with the MCAT. So instead I want to leave the country and go to a school in the UK. Maybe the University of London or Cambridge. Oxford is a little over done for my taste. So now I have that to think of while trying not to fail out of college. We will see how well this goes. Another week until I find out whether or not I will be going to Denmark. Keep your fingers crossed. Current Mood: determined

4:50 pm	More Funnies! All women should live so long as to be this kind of old lady! Toward the end of Sunday service, the Minister asked, 'How many of you have forgiven your enemies?' 80% held up their hands. The Minister then repeated his question. All responded this time, except one small elderly lady. 'Mrs. Neely?'; 'Are you not willing to forgive your enemies?' I don't have any.' She replied, smiling sweetly. 'Mrs. Neely, that is very unusual. How old are you?' 'Ninety-eight.' she replied. 'Oh, Mrs. Neely, would you please come down in front & tell us all how a person can live ninety-eight years & not have an enemy in the world?' The little sweetheart of a lady tottered down the aisle, faced the congregation, and said: 'I outlived the bitches.' ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A man is showering up in a locker room with his buddy when he notices his friend is very well endowed. 'Damn Bob, you're hung!' Jim exclaims. 'I wasn't always this impressive, I had to work for it.' 'What do you mean?' Jim asked. 'Well, every day for the past two years I've spent an hour each night rubbing it with butter. I know it sounds crazy but it actually made it grow 4 inches! You should try it.' Jim agrees and the two say good- bye. A few months later the two are in the same locker room and Bob asks Jim how his situation was. Jim replied, 'I did what you said, Bob, but I've actually gotten smaller! I lost two inches already!' 'Did you do everything I told you? An hour each day with butter?' 'Well, I was out of butter, so I've been using Crisco.' Wait for it ............ Wait ............. 'Crisco!!?' Bob exclaimed. 'Damm it, Jim, Crisco is shortening! ' Current Mood: ecstatic

1:56 pm	2 Tough Questions Question 1: If you knew a woman who was pregnant, who had 8 kids already, three who were deaf, two who were blind, one mentally retarded, and she had syphilis, would you recommend that she have an abortion? Read the next question before looking at the response for this one. Question 2: It is time to elect a new world leader, and only your vote counts. Here are the facts about the three candidates. Who would you vote for? Candidate A. Associates with crooked politicians, and consults with astrologist. He's had two mistresses. He also chain smokes and drinks 8 to 10 martinis a day. Candidate B.. He was kicked out of office twice, sleeps until noon, used opium in college and drinks a quart of whiskey every evening. Candidate C He is a decorated war hero. He's a vegetarian, doesn't smoke, drinks an occasional beer and never cheated on his wife. Which of these candidates would be our choice? Decide first... no peeking, then scroll down for the response. Candidate A is Franklin D. Roosevelt. Candidate B is Winston Churchill. Candidate C is Adolph Hitler. And, by the way, on your answer to the abortion question: If you said YES, you just killed Beethoven. Pretty interesting isn't it? Makes a person think before judging someone. Wait till you see the end of this note! Keep reading.. Never be afraid to try something new. Remember: Amateurs...built the ark. Professionals...built the Titanic And Finally, can you imagine working for a company that has a little more than 500 employees and has the following statistics: * 29 have been accused of spousal abuse * 7 have been arrested for fraud * 19 have been accused of ! writing bad checks * 117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses * 3 have done time for assault * 71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit * 14 have been arrested on drug-related charges * 8 have been arrested for shoplifting * 21 are currently defendants in lawsuits * 84 have been arrested for drunk driving in the last year... Can you guess which organization this is? Give up yet? It's the 535 members of the United States Congress. The same group that crank out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the rest of us in line. Current Mood: busy

2:49 pm	Men strike back! How many men does it take to open a beer? None. It should be opened when she brings it. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Why is a Laundromat a really bad place to pick up a woman?

10:20 am	Reindeer REMEMBER THIS AT CHRISTMAS TIME According to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, while both male and female reindeer grow antlers in the summer each year, male reindeer drop their antlers at the beginning of winter, usually late November to mid-December. Female reindeer retain their antlers till after they give birth in the spring. Therefore, according to EVERY historical rendition depicting Santa's reindeer, EVERY single one of them, from Rudolph to Blitzen, had to be a girl. We should've known... ONLY women would be able to drag a fat-ass man in a red velvet suit all around the world in one night and not get lost. Current Mood: nervous Current Music: Boston Pops

2:49 pm	A long overdue explaination of my life..... It all started on our third day of vacation. My brother and I were hurriedly getting ready to breakfast because we were leaving on the train form London to Paris that day. My father had already left to eat. As I was walking out of the bathroom I stubbed my toe, subsequently breaking it, on my bag. It hurt a lot to say the least. I hobbled over to the desk and woke up on the floor. My brother tells me that I just fell over. I was unconscious for only a couple of moments. Brad thought I was having a seizure and began to role me on my side when I came to. I really didn't know where I was but I did remember breaking my toe. We then proceeded, slowly, to breakfast. We ate and explained to my dad what happened. When we made our way back up to the room I felt very sick. My vision was becoming foggy and I was very sick to my stomach. I felt as if I was about to lose everything I had just ate. The feeling passed and we were on our way to Paris. Cut to us back in the States. Before arriving home my mother made a doctors appointment for me. My brother and I went and the doctor did some preliminary neuralogic tests to see if anything was wrong. He didn't seem worried but I was supposed to get blood work and an EEG anyway. I got the blood work done and my liver enzymes came back abnormal. So they tested me again, a Hep C panel, and they never got back to me. So I can only assume that I'm ok on that front. I went to get my EEG. That was an experience. Kind of weird, but interesting nonetheless. I got those test results back and they, like the blood work, were abnormal. My primary doctor told me that the neurologist made notes saying that I might have a form of epilepsy. And more testing was to be completed. I then had an MRI, Holter Monitor, and EKG done. The Holter monitor and EKG can back fine. The MRI, the doctor told me, was fun but that I have a little spot. He said it was nothing to worry about and that I was fine. For some reason I just can't bring myself to believe him. I don't know what it is but I don't think I'm fine. But as of right now I am medically sound. Current Mood: calm

He had no arms or legs. 'You're not really asking me to consider you, are you?' the widow said. 'Just look at you ... You have no legs!' The old gentleman smiled, 'Therefore, I cannot run around on you!' 'You don't have any arms either!' she snorted. Again, the old man smiled, 'Therefore, I can never beat you!' She raised an eyebrow and asked intently, 'Are you still good in bed?' The old man leaned back, beamed a big smile and said, 'I rang the doorbell, didn't I?' The wedding is scheduled for Saturday.

"What the heck," he says to himself, "I really want a drink." When the gay waiter approaches, he says to the cowboy, "What's the name of your willy?" The cowboy says, "Look, I'm not into any of that. All I want is a drink. "The gay waiter says, "I'm sorry but I can't serve you until you tell me the name of your willy. Mine for instance is called NIKE, for the slogan,'Just Do It.' that guy down at the end of the bar calls is SNICKERS, because 'It really Satisfies.' " The cowboy looks dumbfounded, so the bartender tells him he will give him a second to think it over. So the cowboy asks the man sitting to his left who is sipping on a beer, "Hey bud, what's the name of yours?" The man looks back and says with a smile, "TIMEX." The thirsty cowboy asks, "Why Timex?" the fella proudly applies,"Cause it takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin!'" A little shaken, the cowboy turns to the two fella's on his right who just happens to be sharing a fruity Margarita and says, "So, what do you guys call yours?" The first man turns to him and proudly exclaims, "FORD,because Quality is Job One." "Then he adds, "Have you driven a Ford lately?" The guy next to him then says, "I call mine CHEVY....'Like a Rock!'"And gives a wink! Even more shaken, the Cowboy has to think for a moment before he comes up with a name for his manhood. Finally, he turns to the bartender and exclaims, "The name of my willy is SECRET. Now give me a beer." The bartender begins to pour the cowboy a beer, but with a puzzled look asks,"Why Secret?" The cowboy says, "Because it's 'STRONG ENOUGH FOR A MAN, BUT MADE FOR A WOMAN!" ```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` Just in case you get stopped again, keep in mind that these don't work.

They'll stretch after you wear them a while." 14 "If you take your hands off the car, I'll make your birth certificate a worthless document_" 13 "If you run, you'll only go to jail tired." 12 "Can you run faster than 1200 feet per second? Because that's the speed of the bullet that'll be chasing you." 11 "You don't know how fast you were going? I guess that means I can write anything I want to on the ticket, huh?" 10 "Yes, sir, you can talk to the shift supervisor, but I don't think it will help. Oh, did I mention that I'm the shift supervisor?" 9 "Warning! You want a warning? O.K., I'm warning you not to do that again or I'll give you another ticket." 8 "The answer to this last question will determine whether you are drunk or not. Was Mickey Mouse a cat or a dog?" 7 "Fair? You want me to be fair? Listen, fair is a place where you go to ride on rides, eat cotton candy and corn dogs and step in monkey crap." 6 "Yeah, we have a quota. Two more tickets and my wife gets a toaster oven." 5 "In God we trust, all others we run through NCIC." 4 "How big were those 'Just two beers' you say you had?" 3 "No sir, we don't have quotas anymore. We used to, but now we're allowed to write as many tickets as we can." 2 "I'm glad to hear that Chief (of Police) Hawker is a personal friend of yours. So you know someone who can post your bail."

9:16 am	Nothing to look forward too..... A father asked his 10-year old son if he knew about the birds and the bees. "I don't want to know," the child said, bursting into tears. "Promise me you won't tell me." Confused, the father asked what was wrong. The boy sobbed, "When I was six, I got the "There's no Easter Bunny" speech. At seven, I got the "There's no Tooth Fairy" speech. When I was eight, you hit me with the "There's no Santa" speech. If you're going to tell me that grown-ups don't really get laid, I'll have nothing left to live for."

11:19 am	men a dumb sometimes It has long been contended that there are male jokes and there are female jokes, and there are unisex jokes. Here is a joke that is considere a true female joke. A woman was sitting at a bar enjoying an after work cocktail with her girlfriends when an exceptionally tall, handsome, extremely sexy, middle-aged man entered. He was so striking that the woman could not take her eyes off him. The young-at-heart man noticed her overly attentive stare and walked directly toward her. (As all men will.) Before she could offer her apologies for staring so rudely, he leaned over and whispered to her, "I'll do anything, absolutely anything, that you want me to do, no matter how kinky, for $20.00......on one condition." Flabbergasted, the woman asked what the condition was. The man replied, "You have to tell me what you want me to do in just three words." The woman considered his proposition for a moment, and then slowly removed a $20 bill from her purse, which she pressed into the man's hand along with her address. She looked deeply into his eyes, and slowly and meaningfully said.... "Clean my house." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

10:16 pm	where is my life going...... Ok so I sit here at my dads place after eating to much food and I wonder what the next ten days will bring. I'm excited to think that I'm going to be leaving this rediculous country.... I mean amazingly fantastic USA. But mostly I'm glad to be seeing family and to get away from my friends. As much as I love them, I need to get away. To many people being rediculous at the same time can be a little jarring. So I'm more than happy to be in Pittsburgh. I am here til tuesday, when we fly to London. We only arrive in London on wednesday morning. Weird to think that I will be traveling for an entire day, but it will be exciting. We spend acouple of days in London and then we take the train from London to Paris on sat. We spend the rest of our vacation in gay Paris. Again super excited, but little unsure about being in a country where the language escapes me. I mean I did take four years of french, I'm a little rusty to say the least. But we will get by. When in doubt we just won't talk to anyone. We aren;t friendly people so that wont be a problem. Being surrounded by so much history will be overwhelming and the cities will be beautiful. I will be putting my pics up in facebook and myspace so everyone can enjoy my vacation. It's only fair. Until I return, I bid you adue. Blessed Be Current Mood: full

10:48 am	Can't go wrong with Tide! Dear Tide: I am writing to say what an excellent product you have! I've used it all of my married life, as my Mom always told me it was the best. Now that I am in my fifties I find it even better! In fact, about a month ago, I spilled some red wine on my new white blouse. My inconsiderate and uncaring husband started to belittle me about how clumsy I was, and generally started becoming a pain in the neck. One thing led to another and somehow I ended up with his blood on my new white blouse! I grabbed my bottle of Tide with bleach alternative and, to my surprise and satisfaction, all of the stains came out! In fact, the stains came out so well the detectives who came by yesterday told me that the DNA tests on my blouse were negative and then my attorney called and said that I was no longer considered a suspect in the disappearance of my husband. What a relief! Going through menopause is bad enough without being a murder suspect! I thank you, once again, for having a great product. Well, gotta go, have to write to the Hefty bag people.

3:28 pm	My life as it stands now.... As of right now my life is not as bad as it might seem. I kind of have a job, Maria is sleeping on my couch and father's day is quickly approaching. Well on the job front, I took my drug test on monday and the lady was like we will get back to you in acouple of days when we get the results and set up when you can start orientation. I was like ok. Well its thursday and I have yet to hear from them. I'm not worried I passed my drug test, just like everyother test I have ever taken, just its just super annoying that it takes forever. But I really can't do anything about it so I just have to wait. Maria is sleeping on my couch because we watched a movie and she was tired. Thats about it. I'm leaving tomorrow for a little town called Canisteo, NY. (that is where my grandmother lives) I finally get to see my father. After about 4 or 5 months it will be nice to see him again. We have a 7am tee time and then a BBQ with my Great Uncle and his wife. I can't wait. It will be a good time. I don't know yet what to get my father for his day, but I am sure I will find something. I mean what do you give the man that gave you everything? I will find something nice. Other than that my life is calm. My mom took me to see Celtic Woman at Shea's yesterday. It was fantastic. I love that my mom takes me to things like that. Its funny to think that we were in a crowed of older people and I was the reason we were there. A 19 year old boy. Not the target audience but I loved every minuet of it. My mom said she liked it to. On our way back into our building we saw our neighbor outside. So we decided to chat. She is a darling. She is my age and from somewhere in Mexico. They actually moved from Reno to Orchard Park. She has been through so much already. It is wierd to think that where she use to live she could hear gun shots daily and she has already been shot once. But now they live in our little hallow of Orchard Park and nothing like that ever happens here. It is nice to know we are safe. As for now I leave you. Blessed Be Current Mood: a little tired

7:22 am	ohhhh Wells Traditions..... So this morning I was woken up at 6AM by campus security pulling every fire alarm in every dorm. All the classes, most of them still a little drunk, make their way to the giant Sycamore in front of Main. We dance in a giant circle and sing. All the classes get a chance to run into the middle and make fools of themselves. Then the seniors make their way to Minerva. Then to the dinning hall for the champagne breakfast. We sing even/odd songs back and forth for a while then everyone makes their way back to their beds. Its going to be a very good day. Blessed Be Current Mood: ecstatic

9:09 am	Scientists Offer Frightening Forecast (April 22) -- Our planet's prospects for environmental stability are bleaker than ever as the world celebrates Earth Day on Sunday. Global warming is widely accepted as a reality by scientists and even by previously doubtful government and industrial leaders. And according to a recent report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), there is a 90 percent likelihood that humans are contributing to the change. Scientists have even speculated that a slight increase in Earth's rotation rate could result, along with other changes. Glaciers, already receding, will disappear. Epic floods will hit some areas while intense drought will strike others. Humans will face widespread water shortages. Famine and disease will increase. Earth’s landscape will transform radically, with a quarter of plants and animals at risk of extinction. While putting specific dates on these traumatic potential events is challenging, this timeline paints the big picture and details Earth's future based on several recent studies and the longer scientific version of the IPCC report, which was made available to LiveScience. 2007 More of the world's population now lives in cities than in rural areas, changing patterns of land use. The world population surpasses 6.6 billion. (Peter Crane, Royal Botanic Gardens, UK, Science; UN World Urbanization Prospectus: The 2003 Revision; U.S. Census Bureau) 2008 Global oil production peaks sometime between 2008 and 2018, according to a model by one Swedish physicist. Others say this turning point, known as “Hubbert’s Peak,” won’t occur until after 2020. Once Hubbert’s Peak is reached, global oil production will begin an irreversible decline, possibly triggering a global recession, food shortages and conflict between nations over dwindling oil supplies. (doctoral dissertation of Frederik Robelius, University of Uppsala, Sweden; report by Robert Hirsch of the Science Applications International Corporation) 2020 Flash floods will very likely increase across all parts of Europe. (IPCC) Less rainfall could reduce agriculture yields by up to 50 percent in some parts of the world. (IPCC) World population will reach 7.6 billion people. (U.S. Census Bureau) The Global Warming Threat 2030 Diarrhea-related diseases will likely increase by up to 5 percent in low-income parts of the world. (IPCC) Up to 18 percent of the world’s coral reefs will likely be lost as a result of climate change and other environmental stresses. In Asian coastal waters, the coral loss could reach 30 percent. (IPCC) World population will reach 8.3 billion people. (U.S. Census Bureau) Warming temperatures will cause temperate glaciers on equatorial mountains in Africa to disappear. (Richard Taylor, University College London, Geophysical Research Letters:) In developing countries, the urban population will more than double to about 4 billion people, packing more people onto a given city's land area. The urban populations of developed countries may also increase by as much as 20 percent. (World Bank: The Dynamics of Global Urban Expansion) 2040 Nature News From LiveScience.com Feed Study: Global Warming Could Hinder Hurricanes Huge California Surfing Waves Explained Earthquakes Intensify Volcanic Eruptions Greenland's Mysterious Winds Tied to Global... Crusty Old Discovery Reveals Early Earth's... The Arctic Sea could be ice-free in the summer, and winter ice depth may shrink drastically. Other scientists say the region will still have summer ice up to 2060 and 2105. (Marika Holland, NCAR, Geophysical Research Letters) 2050 Small alpine glaciers will very likely disappear completely, and large glaciers will shrink by 30 to 70 percent. Austrian scientist Roland Psenner of the University of Innsbruck says this is a conservative estimate, and the small alpine glaciers could be gone as soon as 2037. (IPCC) In Australia, there will likely be an additional 3,200 to 5,200 heat-related deaths per year. The hardest hit will be people over the age of 65. An extra 500 to 1,000 people will die of heat-related deaths in New York City per year. In the United Kingdom, the opposite will occur, and cold-related deaths will outpace heat-related ones. (IPCC) World population reaches 9.4 billion people. (U.S. Census Bureau) Crop yields could increase by up to 20 percent in East and Southeast Asia, while decreasing by up to 30 percent in Central and South Asia. Similar shifts in crop yields could occur on other continents. (IPCC) As biodiversity hotspots are more threatened, a quarter of the world’s plant and vertebrate animal species could face extinction. (Jay Malcolm, University of Toronto, Conservation Biology) 2070 As glaciers disappear and areas affected by drought increase, electricity production for the world’s existing hydropower stations will decrease. Hardest hit will be Europe, where hydropower potential is expected to decline on average by 6 percent; around the Mediterranean, the decrease could be up to 50 percent. (IPCC) Warmer, drier conditions will lead to more frequent and longer droughts, as well as longer fire-seasons, increased fire risks, and more frequent heat waves, especially in Mediterranean regions. (IPCC) 2080 While some parts of the world dry out, others will be inundated. Scientists predict up to 20 percent of the world’s populations live in river basins likely to be affected by increased flood hazards. Up to 100 million people could experience coastal flooding each year. Most at risk are densely populated and low-lying areas that are less able to adapt to rising sea levels and areas which already face other challenges such as tropical storms. (IPCC) Coastal population could balloon to 5 billion people, up from 1.2 billion in 1990. (IPCC) Between 1.1 and 3.2 billion people will experience water shortages and up to 600 million will go hungry. (IPCC) Sea levels could rise around New York City by more than three feet, potentially flooding the Rockaways, Coney Island, much of southern Brooklyn and Queens, portions of Long Island City, Astoria, Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, Queens, lower Manhattan and eastern Staten Island from Great Kills Harbor north to the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge. (NASA GISS) 2085 The risk of dengue fever from climate change is estimated to increase to 3.5 billion people. (IPCC) 2100 A combination of global warming and other factors will push many ecosystems to the limit, forcing them to exceed their natural ability to adapt to climate change.

(IPCC) Ocean pH levels will very likely decrease by as much as 0.5 pH units, the lowest it’s been in the last 20 million years. The ability of marine organisms such as corals, crabs and oysters to form shells or exoskeletons could be impaired. (IPCC) Thawing permafrost and other factors will make Earth’s land a net source of carbon emissions, meaning it will emit more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere than it absorbs. (IPCC) Roughly 20 to 30 percent of species assessed as of 2007 could be extinct by 2100 if global mean temperatures exceed 2 to 3 degrees of pre-industrial levels. (IPCC) New climate zones appear on up to 39 percent of the world’s land surface, radically transforming the planet. (Jack Williams, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences) A quarter of all species of plants and land animals—more than a million total—could be driven to extinction. The IPCC reports warn that current “conservation practices are generally ill-prepared for climate change and effective adaptation responses are likely to be costly to implement.” (IPCC) Increased droughts could significantly reduce moisture levels in the American Southwest, northern Mexico and possibly parts of Europe, Africa and the Middle East, effectively recreating the “Dust Bowl” environments of the 1930s in the United States. (Richard Seager, Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory, Science) 2200 An Earth day will be 0.12 milliseconds shorter, as rising temperatures cause oceans to expand away from the equator and toward the poles, one model predicts. One reason water will be shifted toward the poles is most of the expansion will take place in the North Atlantic Ocean, near the North Pole. The poles are closer to the Earth’s axis of rotation, so having more mass there should speed up the planet’s rotation.

4:08 pm	Finally it is over.... Bach's lunch is over. It's great. People tell me I did well. I got a little lost at the end of my last song, but nothing major. Its not like I stopped or anything. So no worries. EME wasn't to bad. Pennyman forgot to tune all of my strings so I was out of tune with everyone around me. That was cool I guess. Most people didn't notice anything. Again, no worries. Now to study for my Bio test. Ohh and my interview is tomorrow. I'm a little excited, a little nervous. I just don't want to have to go home and look for a job. That would suck balls. But if I must then I must. Until then Blessed Be Current Mood: relieved

11:21 am	so ya.... my physics test was BALLS. but aren't they all. I think I might have done as well as I did last time. Which wouldn't kill me. So ya its completely out of my hands now. I can't worry about it, its over right? But all I know is that I don't have a future in physics at all. And you know what, I'm fine with that. lol. Blessed Be

8:59 pm	sometimes i just don't know.... Ok so my birthday wasn't completely terrible. I was a little concerned about it. I did a tarot reading the night before and it was very telling. To say the least my divination skills are getting better. I did get to go to the zoo. That was sweet. I love the zoo. I got to see a tiger and a lion and a bear. Oh my. lol. but it was fun overall. Very tiring but fun nonetheless. My friends are great. I got like three pages of facebook comments for my birthday. And E=mC2 was the best of course. They are more than I could ask for when it comes to friends. I don't know if i really deserve so great friends. But I must be doing something right. School is going well. Some of my class are a little iffy at the moment, but i hope to pull it all together in the end. I'm not to worried. I hope to be a tour guide over the summer. That would be a sweet job. I wouldn't have to go home. It would be nice to live away from home for an extended period of time. I don't know. I think i would be nice. Not much else is going on. And I wouldn't want it any other way. Blessed Be
