Listening to: Sisters of Mercy - A Rock and a Hard Place
I'm pretty sick of Jello. I made my poster and presented it but I still have to write a paper about the stupid stuff. Its really boring actually. I even ate it for breakfast this morning and it wasn't very exciting.
I've just been sitting in bed working on my paper since 5. All this inaction has made me feel very exhausted though I've done nothing at all. It's kind of like a car ride I suppose.
I get my multivariable test back tomorrow. If I get a B+ or higher I'll have an A in the class (I am fairly sure). I have an A in physics as well. I think I'll go ask my professor to sign the book of his that I bought tomorrow, though that might be awkward. Apparently he really likes signing them.
I really can't wait to get home. It's much easier to imagine my dad being gone forever when I only talk to him on the phone.
Since I already made a list of my life goals, here is a list of my summer goals:
-Learn Python and Java
-Work on Spanish and French every day
-Go biking lots
-Take a few dressage and jumping lessons
-Go to the gym with Chris at least 3 days a week
-Get As in both my summer classes
-Be more fashionable
-Get a squirt gun so that I can train Pookie to leave me alone
-Drink at least 100 oz of water a day
-Read at least 5 books a month |

Listening to: Diary of Dreams - Retaliation
So my dad's cancer is apparently inoperable. It spread more than any of the doctors thought it would. They're going to let him recover from the surgery for a couple of weeks and then start him on some new, experimental chemo for liver cancer. I'm hoping I can take most of my finals by the end of next week so I can go home early.
Weightlifting is going well. Also, I have a single room in the apartments for this summer! I was really hoping that would happen. Abby is going to be here this summer too so hopefully I can hang out with her a lot. She's such a nice person and has been through a lot so she is a good person to talk to.
My homework schedule for this weekend:
Tonight: Finish lab, write essay for history
Friday: Calc III hw
Saturday: Poster for geog
Sunday: Geog essay
I predict between 50% and 75% of that will get done. |

Listening to: Anata - Slain Upon His Altar
I went to World Market today with Abby and I got so much stuff! I got this huge mug for super-tea time, some real licorice from Germany (it's not very sweet), the cookies that Chris really likes, and some YO' CAKES for my dad. I don't know if the cakes are actually good, but they sound silly so I thought he would like them.
Also, we went to Noodles and Co. and Diary Queen so I feel like a big slob.
Tomorrow is weights day! I really like lifting. It makes me feel strong even though I'm only using tiny weights.
It doesn't look like my cal is getting done tonight, but I'll only have 2 sections to do when I go home since I've already done my calc 3 homework. I really can't wait until the end of the semester. Hopefully I can get the majority of my geog poster done this weekend.
I got Chris's note. I really love them :) And him. |

I see no hope for the future of our people if they are dependent on the frivolous youth of today, for certainly all youth are reckless
beyond words. When I was a boy, we were taught to be discrete and respectful of elders, but the present youth are exceedingly disrespectful and impatient of restraint.

Listening to: Basslovers United - Music
I'm glad I went home this weekend, even though the first night was stressful. I knew everyone would be worried, but I just wanted people to act normally. I'm going to go to riding both days this week and then not at all next week I think. I hope I'm not too stressed out, but I only have a short paper due this coming Tuesday, and then one test next week.
The new power cord that I got for my laptop is really awesome! I don't usually get excited about power cords but this one looks pretty sweet. It has a case and all these different attachments.
Tonight I'm going to see Sweeny Todd with Emily. She's transferring after this semester though so I'm going to miss her a lot next year.
I need to write out a workout schedule for weightlifting tonight so I can go to the gym M/W/F and go running Tu/Th/Sat. I think I'm going to move up from 1 mi/run to 1.5 mi/run. And the week after that hopefully I'll be doing 6 miles a week. |

Listening to: Basshunter - Beer In a Bar
Well, my dad has cancer again. This time it's on his liver, but he said they caught it as early as they possibly could so he will probably be ok. He's talking to the surgeon on Thursday and hopefully will go into surgery early next week. My sister said my mom is really upset and crying a lot. I wish I could be home with them right now.
My calc exam didn't go very well, but in the grand scheme of things one test doesn't matter much. I talked for a long time last night to a girl who is in both my calc classes. We were supposed to be studying but we just talked about horses. Hopefully we'll be able to go riding together this summer.
I've been writing out a homework schedule for each day. Today I am supposed to read the last book of the Aeneid, take notes on history, and start my geog paper. I don't know if I'll get all of those things done.
Apparently Chris bought me some loose tea and a tea strainer so now I'm going to have to go even more tea crazy and get lots of fancy loose tea! I LOVE IT SO MUCH. |

Listening to: Wave Riders vs Kathy - Add A Szived
I was feeling so productive today until about an hour ago. Actually, I did get lots done, but now I'm just lying in bed. I got a huge jug of that diet iced tea from Giant, it is prooty good. Also I did some other things.
I'm going to a party tonight at the rugby house. Emily wanted me to go with her so that we could leave early together if things got boring/awkward. Her friend Michelle, who is very loud and crazy, has a thing going with one of the rugby players.
I wrote up a schedule for what homework I'm going to do each day. Now that the multivar and physics tests are over I don't have much to do for the next two weeks as long as I do a little bit each day.
I think I am going to buy some bike shorts soon. Or maybe I will wait until Chris starts his job. I really miss him. I saw P.S I Love you with Emily last night and she said it would make me want to break up with by boyfriend, but I think she has just had lame bfs because I have no idea what she's talking about.
I don't understand the huge appeal of "chick flicks." They are like low-sodium saltines.
I need to start reading books again. I've worked harder this year in school than I've ever worked before though and it really makes me happy. I think I do more and better work when I feel pressured to get things done. |

Listening to: Diary of Dreams - Chemicals
I did lots of studying today. I spent about an hour on one calc problem, all because I forgot to change the signs on two functions.
I think it would be pretty cool to have a six pack. I'll make it a life goal. Here are some other life goals of mine:
-become fluent in French, Spanish, German, and Dutch
-own a nice horse and a cute pony
-run a marathon
-learn how to program in a few useful languages
-get a doctorate
-become a wine connoisseur
-be able to play the piano decently well
-live in two or three other countries for at least a year each
-travel to every continent (only 4 more to go!)
-be able to do 10 pullups
I think of others from time to time, but I can't remember them at the moment.
I hope riding is fun tomorrow. It makes me forget about everything else. |

Listening to: Eisbrecher - Leider
I'm writing this so I can put off finishing the study guide for geog. I want to learn German eventually so I can figure out what these crazy people are saying in their songs.
I have so much math to do it makes me depressed just thinking about it. I've decided on what classes I'm taking next year though. It's going to be number theory, numerical analysis, intro to macro, intro to micro, and stats. Since I'm taking linear algebra and dif eq this summer, assuming I pass all the classes I'll be in super good shape for the next two years.
This weekend I'm going home again. I'm going riding on Friday and then biking on Saturday with Chris. It should be fun, as long as I can get all my math done. I need to read the Aeneid too.
Only 6 more weeks until the end of the semester!! |

The history exam went alright. My hand got extremely tired writing the essays. I think I need to find better finger grip on my pencil.
Within the next week I need to finish taking notes on geog, study for geog test, start on my geog research, do my history notes, read the Aeneid, study for my physics test, do 2 sections of mulitvariable, do the multivariable take home assignment, and do 1.5 sections of calc 3. Uggg. I was doing so well at keeping up with my work earlier this semester. I don't know what happened.
I'm so much happier now that the weather is all springy. It's supposed to be in the 70's tomorrow!! And then Chris comes and we are going biking! :D
Most things are going well. I need to go to the gym tomorrow morning and work on making my arms sexy. |
