Good Friday 2009

Willow Creek Good Friday service was good. I got some homework done, but not nearly as much I should. I really need to crack down on the homework. My mom made me drive the van around the block; I really don't like driving. Tomorrow I work 9-5. Not cool. Also, I'm still feeling a little sick. Not good again. I really don't have much to report.

Thursday, Slightly Terrific

No History today, because my teacher is observing Passover. Watched "Mary Poppins" today and tonight I watched "Maria, Full of Grace"-another Spanish film. Pretty good. Then I got to talk with a friend tonight-it's always nice to catch up on the phone. Other than that, I dreamed of European travel. Unfortunately, I may have to be more productive tomorrow. I can't believe tomorrow is Good Friday. So weird. 

That's all for now.

Weird Wednesday

Lit was fine today, speech was fine today (it was good to just listen to speeches without worrying about your own speech), Spanish was fine today. I'm so tired today. I really have no idea what I want to do with my life and it sucks. In Spanish we learned a little bit about Holy Week in Spain, and I had realized that I completely forgot that Easter is Sunday. I really need to snap out of this homework-work-school daze, it's ridiculous. Hopefully tomorrow will be better; since my History teacher will be observing Passover, there is no class tomorrow. : ) These thoughts are some of the most random I've come up with and that's saying something. Peanut Butter is tasty (had to add more randomness). 

Oh, I want to go to England.

Tuesday Tiredness

Aside from a sore throat, I'm actually not feeling too bad. Well, I'm tired, but what's new there? History was fine, starting to get into the decline of Rome. Found out I got a B on my midterm. Meh. Work was OK. I actually got everything done. It was amazing.

Back to School: Ugh....

Well, I'm back to school. And officially sick. Mostly a sore throat at this point. Spanish and Lit were OK (not fabulous), and I didn't think I did very well on my speech. Oh well, I am now 3 papers, 2 tests, 1 speech, 2 quizzes, 3-4 finals, and 21 miscellaneous assignments away from freedom. 

Trying to figure out scheduling stuff for next semester, prerequisites and miscellaneous school stuff. Not fun, especially when right now all I want to do is watch a movie or something. *sigh*

Break '09, Day 10: End of Break

Work was OK, Tribe was good. My break is ending and I am NOT happy about this. Especially since I have a speech tomorrow. I'm not feeling too confident about it. As always, I will only feel better when it's done and over with. Also, I'm not feeling too great....

Oh yeah, it's snowing. Personally, that should be illegal in April. 

Anyway, I better go to bed and prepare for going back to school. Ew. If I did my math correctly, I am 3 papers, 2 tests, 2 speeches, 2 quizzes, 3-4 finals, and 22 miscellaneous assignments away from freedom.

Break 09, Days 6, 7, 8 and 9: Rock Band and Taylor

AH! So, I am PAINFULLY behind on updating this blog. Whoops. Anyway, I'll do my best to summarize.

Wednesday: I still can't believe it's April. Totally forgot it was April Fool's Day. Except that Mugglenet and Youtube had entertaining stuff for it. Oh, I went to Mariclare's house and she taught me Rock Band (which is similar to Guitar Hero)-it was SO fun! I did Easy, and still wasn't great, but who cares? I mostly did bass while MK did guitar. We played a lot of 80's rock songs (in other words, we didn't recognize most of them), some favorites were "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor and "Livin' on a Prayer" by Bon Jovi. :D

Thursday: Drove a really long time to Indiana to visit Taylor University. I stayed overnight in Olson Hall. It pretty much made me want to go to Taylor even more. The only downside was that somebody burned popcorn or something at 3am so the fire alarm went off and we all had to evacuate. So I got little to no sleep, which wasn't fun, but everything else was good.

Friday: Had breakfast and lunch in the DC (Dining Commons) at Taylor-which is pretty good as far as dorm food goes-sat in a World Literature class and Philosophy/Religion type class, plus I went to chapel. All confirmed that Taylor is for me. Went to McAlister's with the fam for dinner, went to my uncle's house, then went to the hotel in Indy and I slept for 10-11 hours.

Saturday: We got back to Boringsville with no issues. Did some homework. Have more to do tomorrow, but it shouldn't be too bad. Not too much else. I can't believe Spring break is ending. Not cool. 

Well, I should go to bed soon. I'm really tired. Plus, two of my brothers plus my dad are sick with a cold, and I'm hoping that I don't get sick....
