Working on Harry's Birthday

Today, I worked. It wasn't too bad. I got paid-yay! I was happy. Also, I drove to work and back completely by myself!!! I was so happy. I felt very free.

Today is also Harry Potter's birthday along with JK Rowling! Very cool.

Um.... I mostly chilled today. I do that a lot these days. It's nice, but it can be boring. I'm working on a new video. Dad and I had Culver's for dinner. It was good. I've also been praying and hoping and hoping and praying for a lot of things....

Well, I'm working hard for the money 9-5 tomorrow. Not looking forward to it. Maybe I'll drive solo again? Who knows.

Oh, and it's SO weird to wake up to an empty house....

Done with Biology!

So, I'm done with Environmental Biology! It was a tough exam. However, the questions on "An Inconvenient Truth" were fairly easy. One was absurdly easy: "An Inconvenient Truth is a documentary narrated by which former Vice President of the United States?" Oh, I don't know, Mickey Mouse? ; ) Also, there was a comic in the test (just for fun) that looked like The Far Side, but I'm not sure. It said something like "Tim was stuck with a tough question on his Environmental Biology exam". The question? "How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck would chuck wood?" Yeah, I thought that was funny.

Anyway, I also sold back my book and got $74! Yay! I was lazy most of the day, took Dad to the library to check out some movies. This weekend, everyone else is in Indiana. So me and my Dad have the whole house to ourselves! It's weird....

We watched "Saving Private Ryan". Very well-made film, I'm glad I watched it, but MAN, it was intense, gory, bloody, disturbing, disgusting, horrifying, terrifying-NOT for the slightest faint of heart. I had to look away or go away several times. Yikes.

Well, I'm working tomorrow. Driving COMPLETELY by myself. I'm pretty nervous.

Biology Studying

Sorry I didn't update yesterday, I forgot. Anyway, nothing special about yesterday. Both yesterday and today I was quite lethargic. Last lab today was good. I studied a little for the Biology finals, but I had NO motivation considering there's no way I'm going to get an A in this class anyway. Can't wait for tomorrow morning to be over.

Working Phone Biology

Let's see....

I worked 8:45-3 today. It was hectic, but not too bad. At least I'll be earning extra money this summer. And my sandwich was actually good (an Italian Focaccia Sandwich from Dominick's)!

I called a friend whom I have not spoken too in a while. It was... good, it was nice to catch up with them, but neither one of us had a lot of interesting stuff going on, we were both tired (I especially was very lackadaisical), so while it was a good phone chat, it wasn't stellar. Oh well, that happens with any conversation-some are really good, others could be better.

The rest of the day, I studied for Biology. I'm starting to go crazy right now. Part of me is convinced that I'm going to flunk and another part thinks there's still some hope. We'll just have to see.

Oh, and I have the travel bug BIG TIME today. I really want to go back to Costa Rica. Or go to London. Or Italy. Or ANYWHERE! As long as it's outside of the U.S.....

Zoo

Today we went to the "nearby" zoo. It was kind of fun. At least I got a couple animals I can do a report on, and therefore get extra credit. Then I studied a bit. I am tired. That was my day in a nutshell. I am so frustrated right now, it is hard to believe. Oh well, life's tough, suck it up and deal with it....

Researched travel prices. Studied a little. Went to family church. Went grocery shopping. I'm tired. Good night.

Friday, July 24, 2009

So, I know my titles haven't been very creative lately, but I don't feel like being creative, so oh well. Work was from 8:45-1pm today, and I guess it went okay. I didn't drive by myself, though, because the main roads I take there were either closed or under construction and Mom didn't want my first drive to work by myself involve a detour. Oh well. Had Noodles and Company for lunch. It was great. Had Dairy Queen later that day. That was good too, I got a Cookie Dough Blizzard. This afternoon I watched "An Inconvenient Truth" as part of a Biology assignment-it was interesting. Surfed the web looking for financial aid and dorm stuff. 13 months and I'll be gone! Yes! Also, I researched travel stuff to see how much I'd have to save for a trip to London. Or, a trip to Guatemala and Costa Rica. Those sound very nice right now....
