Mastering Madison

Well i think im off to a good start, and it was only one day. This morning after spending my night with my suite mate rob, we took off to the Badger game. Besides the freezing cold temperatures and piercing wind, it was great. We sat up under the balcony for the first half and then joined our great friend brennan o'connell who was able to get some tickets and get us in the student section. We met up with a bunch of NDA grads and had a great time in the sun surrounded by warm people. After the game which we won 37-0, we followed the band back to there base to meet up with connor sprague. By this time our army was four. michael degrave, connor, lauren, and i. We then headed down State St until we reached the capital's shadow which contained the restaurant, Ian's. They had pizza. I didn't eat any. I had frozen waffles back here at mark and colleen's house.

After all that we sat around and waited for the party here. Lauren and i got into our costumes. Mario and Princess Peach, respectively. The party here was pretty cool. People had crazy costumes, most of which came in couples. There was a tree hugger and a tree, max and a wild thing, thing 1 and thing 2, superman and super woman, a kleenex box, dead billy mayes, pirates, and 1920's swingers. It was real impressive. I even was a contender in the best female costume contest. The drop waist of my dress did my figure wonders. Anyways the best part is coming up. At about eleven i get a call, it's michael fitzgerald, THE MICHAEL FITZGERALD. He told me he was on his way to see me but he just needed a little help with directions. After five phone calls, a half an hour, and lots of confusion, we met a my cousin sprinting towards us on the dimly lit streets of madison. He ran about three miles from the center of campus to find me. It was fantastic. We talked inside till about one in the morning, when we decided to bring him back to the apartment he was staying at. That made my day soo much better.

These Days Just Keep Getting Better

I will again apologize for yesterday, i just got confused and well better went to worse to worser. Anypoo i'm just gunna drop it wear i left off and pick up from today. Hmm today, well as of right now im laying in a bed with my suite mate rob. I chose rob over our other suite mate tony because well the bed was bigger and not made of air. Anyways ill tell you a little about how we got here.

Before we were laying in the bed, we were all down stairs chatting away with lauren's sister Colleen and brother in-law Mark whose house were staying at. Thank you again. Before that i was driving from eau claire in the drizzle in our beautiful white mercury station wagon. Before that we were all at 'the Blanks' concert featuring Ted from 'Scrubs'. Before that we were sitting around lauren's dorm room telling her about how messy her room was and tricking her into cleaning it. Before that i was driving from la crosse in the sunshine in our beautiful white mercury station wagon. Before that we were home in la crosse just enjoying ourselves and living the life of three normal suite mates in la crosse.

Yeah It Happened

Today was a good day....i think. After all my classes things really started to pick up. I received a puzzle from a RA up stars. The puzzle was labeled as impossible. It is. There is no edge, there is no picture, the puzzle is of a bunch of pigs with wings. I'm just soo confused i really wish i could explain this all better. Anypoo where does this all lead. I typed a four page paper on a jazz concert, there are people in my room at twelve thirty.

Wow i dunno, anyways im excited to go down ti Mad town tomorrow. Every person you tell that your goin to Madison is like oooooo Madison, and gives you this weird look. I'm a little scared, but i don't think im going to leave the house after dark so i'll be ok. Plus if a really drunk person approaches me i wouldn't mind punching him in the face.

WAR!

Today i took part in something epic, something beyond most men, something that can unite and divide, command and conquer, give life and take it away. Today i took part in a nerf war. This consists of men, big, small, young, and old gathering in the crayon box with their chunks of pvc piping and nerf darts. Just like in real war we split into teams and took our sides of the room, and again like real war everyone was allotted two lives and two regain your life you just had to touch the back wall on your side. The times were rough and we always died, but just as though we were on the battle field we laughed it off and started another war.

The day was a good day.

Huge Party in the Study

Hundreds, no no thousands, attended the party in the study and things were out of control. RA's were tossed as they sought to maintain control during these quiet hours but the partiers would have nothing to do with it. Not really but it feels cool. There were about ten of us and that seems a lot and we were loud kinda during quiet hours and the RA did sorta ask us to be quiet but we didn't really listen. Man we must be in college.

Went to a jazz concert tonight. It was good. All i could do was pick apart all the songs and just wish they could be better, but over all it was a pretty good concert for a far from music focused college.

I just turned to watch a man on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire and lost my train of thought. Plus i have a german quiz tomorrow so time to go. Don't worry mom i still have a B and i want to improve it so here i go....

I'm Eating All of Tony's Food

Tony is at a soccer game so i thought i should eat all he's food. One scotcherooo, pretzels, and an oatmeal bar. Pretty good. Especially this oatmeal bar, you heat it up in the microwave and dang this thing is good. Wow! Anypoo, today, today was a good day i would say. Mostly because it rhymed but also because it was a good day. I recieved an email from my professor that my two-fifteen class was canceled so i was done at noon. Don't worry Dad i was productive...somewhat. I did do a lot of studying for Bio because i have a test tomorrow, and i played Bio jeopardy with josh and ryan and josh was really bad. He kept claiming that his class didn't cover the things i was questioning them on. I don't believe him.

It was cloudy out today and i think it has been affecting my ping pong play. I just wanted to put this in here because i think some of my fans may be worried about my ping pong record and my chance for a play off berth. To be honest i dont think the play offs are realistic this year but i do know that we are looking to make some big changes this off season. We're gunna bring in some vets to sure up the defense and go big and draft early for some offensive talent. I think next season is gunna be a good one.

What Is With These Bird Stories

Well i dunno if it's something in the water or what but suddenly these two bird stories have entered my life and i feel i must share them with you.

First off, i believe it was saturday..... yes im quite sure it was and i was just sitting in my room with matt and josh. Matt was helping coach me in my madden game and josh was making sure that my self esteem didn't get to high by telling me how bad i was, when andrew from down the hall comes walking in. He says 'Hey do you know where jason is we need to clean this duck' and we all say 'What?!' and sure enough he lifts up his jacket and in nothing else but a mcdonald's bag he has a dead duck with blood on it that he shot while hunting that morning. Well he found jason and they cleaned the duck right there on the front steps of Hutch hall. Pretty cool.

Secondly i heard this story today from my bearded wonder brother who lives in the U.P. and extends the definition of a man every day that he lives. Anypoo i was chatting with dan on skype about our weekends, and well dan just happened to have spent his weekend with his lovely wife rachael at a friends cabin where they went grouse hunting. As the story unfolded my disappointment grew at the fact that my brother couldn't kill small innocent creatures, until this final moment. After sneaking up on a bird in a tree, how you sneak up on a bird i dunno but he did it, he blasted it out from thirty feet with a head shot. Now this is where it gets good, at this point dan upped andrew by infinite measures. He field dressed that bird right there. After twirling the bird by its head to break the neck he stepped on the wings and pulled its legs right out of its body. WOW! Then after removing the head and wings with his knife the dressing was complete. Amazing! His beard probably grew with every bit that he yanked the legs out and i can now see why he only killed on bird, because since he did not pack a beard trimmer driving home with a ten foot beard would have been out of the question. Dang he's smart.

My Family Was Here Today

Yes the rumors are true i hung out with my family all day. From the moment my mother told me to jump in the van even though i never brushed my teeth and was wearing crocs i knew it would be a good day. We all ate too much at Perkin's, shopped at target, visited the Lady of Guadalupe Shrine which was amazing, went up Grandad Bluff, and walked the river side. It was pretty awesome even if it was just the three girls. At least it made me feel really manly. Bonus. But sadly after mass they left me and i retreated to my homestead.

Tonight was Drako, a bingo game put on by Drake Hall. Bingo + Drake = Drako. Dang some people are creative. Anypoo i went because there were a ridiculous amount of prizes and being a greedy person i wanted them all. Well i dont like bingo, and no it's not the fact that i didn't win a single time including the black out round when my last number happened to be the last ball left and all the candy prizes were gone anyways. The reason i don't like bingo is because i didn't win.

But on brighter note i just watched two awesome movies with people from around the hall, 'Goodwill Hunting' and 'Finding Forester'. It was academic movie night. I had fun. Plus my family is coming tomorrow and im super pumped. Too bad John or should i just say 92 plus a td can't come, but he'll make it.

Yes the rumors are true the smith family is coming to visit me, the third smith child. I'm peeing in my pants excited!

Anypoo more important things, we watched the NDA Tritons kick Ashwaubenon around the football field live on the internet. I love it. It was sooo fun to watch. Except when the announcer said that Joey dropped a wide open touchdown pass, but it was actually Jordan Krawcek or however so spell his name. I was yelling at the computer. Also i think you were in on that bootleg pass. Oh well. Also NDA is still the only undefeated FRCC conference champ thanks to SW beating Bay Port tonight.

Tonight there was a coffee house II. This is an open mic type thing in the basement for singing and instruments. There is coffee and cider and hot chocolate. I enjoyed it. My suite mate rob and our ambitious friend eric played and made some women sing for them. It was good.

It Has Been Proven

After weeks of testing done at UWL, it has been proven that the washing machine does not steal your socks. After Eighteen years at home Peter Smith grew to believe that the washing machine actually stole his laundry and laughed. The common belief about the world is that these industrial machines are out to get us and our clothes and they find humor in the fact that after months of laundry we are left with more single socks that pairs. Well it has been proven that it is not the machine but the machines master. Yes your mother.

I know, I know this is a shock to the system, but i have a theory a plan and a hypothesis..... We all can agree that at sometime in our life, usually once we have hit our teen years, we start noticing the fact that our socks have started disappearing. Your say, 'Mom, where are all my socks?!' and she says, 'The washing machine must have eaten them'. False mom you ate them. Maybe you didn't actually eat them but you did steal them and it was all because you were sick of doing our laundry. So i know you are all probably taking this hard, but this is where all the pieces fit together.

About the time that your socks start disappearing is the period of your life that you start becoming really annoying. Your teen years. Then finally in my research i started doing my laundry during junior year of high school. My socks stopped disappearing, for a little while. My mother was happy that she wasn't doing my laundry so she stopped stealing my socks, but then after some time she realized i was still annoying and continued stealing socks. But now that i am at college i haven't lost a sock, and my mother hasn't seen a piece of my laundry. These pieces fit very well and if there is a sock missing after this weekend when my mother visits i think that my research will be at rest.

Anypoo i forgot to write yesterday....not really i was in bed and i was like oh cuss the computer is already off, oh well. Yesterday wasn't that great except that my suite mate rob and i completed our first 300 work out. The work out consists of doing fifty reps of six different exercises. It was a blast. It is going to help us become Spartans.

Today, well today isn't over but ill tell you about my two favorite parts of today. First a girl in my music appreciation tried to convince us that the US revolution took place in the 1890's. All my professor said was, 'um no it took place in the 1700's' and moved on. Wow i love smart people. And next my bio test was moved till tuesday. Cools.

My Back Hurts

The wind was oh so gentle. The smell of country side filled the air. Millions of stars filled the sky, and the warm fall air whisked through my hair as i relieved myself. Yes i was peeing on the side of the highway on my way home from Eau Claire. I think every man can agree there is nothing better than peeing int he wild, and absolutely nothing is better than peeing as cars speed past filled with jealous men that wish they could be me.

So after sleeping in, eating all you can eat pancakes, watching the packers win, and goin to Mass, my day took a terrible turn. I went to put my flip flops away as i packed up to go home and suddenly a terrible pain came over me. My entire lower back cramped up and i couldn't move. It was terrible, Lauren thought i was dying and i slowly crawled onto the futon and laid in awkward positions praying my back would stretch out. It didn't. It still it cramping and hurtful and i want to cry. Oh well.

My Biological Day

Last night i slept on a pile of pillows.....my back was quite sore in the morning, but all was good after a few hours of yoga. Anyways after that we went out to lunch with Jessie Davis and her family. I had a BLT, my third since college. Maybe next place ill just ask for my usual and when they give me a weird look ill walk out. Anypoo after all of this i came back here, lauren's dorm and studied biology while watching 'The Dirty Dozen' and football for five hours while she played at the football game.

I learned all about cellular respiration and all of its components such as the Kreb's Cycle, oh and if you know Kreb tell him im gunna kill him, and anaerobic respiration and such like that. I'm a little upset my body has to do soo much work to get energy. Seems stupid.

Im Surrounded by Women

I'm sitting here in Eau Claire in lauren's dorm listening to three woman just chat away about boys. You know the typical stereotype where girls just sit around talk about boys, well it is true. I feel sick and i want to sleep and none of this is because of an illness. I feel sick because girls are sooo stupid. They just talk talk talk about all these stupid boy things like which boys are cute and who sit next to them at classes and yada yada yada. It's sooo stupid.

It is my second weekend here in a row and the hill is just as big. My suite mate rob and i decided that clearly the hill must have arrived after they built the college because no one would be stupid enough to build anything on this huge hill. Eau Claire is a confused place.

.....i was gunna surprise Lauren this weekend

.....i was gunna be still good at my trombone when i played today

.....i was gunna keep my butt dry biking to class

.....i was gunna not be soooo tired today

.....i was gunna have more ideas for this

Today was the day of the nearly naked mile. I didn't go, but tony did. He was fully clothed. Now i feel that if you are going to take the time to go to this event proclaimed as the nearly naked mile, you mind as well go nearly naked. Only makes sense. Anypoo tony didn't win which brought shame to our whole suite and he is sleeping on the couch tonight. No we don't have a couch mom my mooching hasn't gotten to that point yet, maybe next semester.

I think that whoever serves drinks to the little people is the clouds needs to stop. It has been raining for three weeks now and i feel that perhaps these creatures could use a break from constantly tinkling on our heads down here on earth. If i could go up there with as many of one thing as i wanted i would go with catheters. I think they might enjoy peeing into little bags around their ankles, and i know i would be happy with a dry butt on the way to class.

Today i had a Chili-Cheese Dog

I walked all around Whitney cafeteria looking for food and there was nothing to eat. I mean there was stuff placed about to mimic, act like, and pretend to be food but it was quite clear non of it was real food. One station had a thinly sliced meat, or i think that's what it was, suite mate rob ate it and he's still alive, but this meat was just dark brown and greasy and looked like it had been frozen and fried multiple times. Also the food in the back must have been running low because the casseroles were on the rise. It is common knowledge that as rations lower the small amounts left can be placed into a rice mixture and passed off for food. I however had the privilege of eating a casserole that had an eerie lighter fluid taste. I avoided open flame the rest of the evening. Anypoo after ruling out the strange meat, the hundreds of casseroles, the pizza which is the same everyday, and the tuna salad, i made my way toward the greasy fatty grill line. Tonight's special, Chili-Cheese Dogs.

The man grabbed a well aged bun and a hot dog that clearly had been there for most of my time on this campus and smothered them with liquid cheese and meat sauce. I added onions for flavor. The dog was well the dog wasn't good. In fact it may have been dog i'm not sure, but it wasn't pleasing in anyway. The cheese and sauce went everywhere and after emptying the napkin holder to retain some aspect of dignity i felt sick. I walked out of there with a new found knowledge. Don't eat the chili-cheese dogs. Just don't it's that simple.

Oh What A Day

So many college things happened today. It was ridiculous. First off i got my first college disappointment when i saw my bio test grade, but don't worry mom and dad i've doubled my efforts and now even study before class. Yeah i know, im a great student. Anypoo other college stuff today... well my college suite mate Tony wants me to mention this strange encounter he had today. I'm still not sure what is fact and what is fiction, but here it goes.....

....in the voice of Tony, so really excited and kinda confused, but with a loving tone....

I was walking down the street today, but minding my own business when this guy biking down the street loses a pedal off his bike. After three double takes or a six-take i was able to conceive this phenomenon and even at that point the casualness of the biker was astonishing. The guy just did a really slow circle around and after reporting a near miss with the bus (woo for GP summer jobs) he just picked up the pedal and after a few tries managed to wap the thing back into place and just continued his way down the road like nothing happened.....

Not to take anything away from myself, but the story is much better in person. Anypoo back to other college things besides bad grades and bike pedals, i lifted some college weights to work on my college guns aka arms aka lady killers aka still arms...confused yet. After all that jazz i went to a college meeting where i was a college cube rep and just sat there listening until it was over just like all the over college students there. I lost my train of thought my college gf called.

I guess all im really tryin to say is, I HATE SAUERKRAUT!!! Yeah that's all im really tryin to say.

I Forgot!

Well i dunno if i actually forgot but it was after i had turn of the good ole pc when i remembered that i hadn't blogged about my day, so i will give you a .......TWO FOR ONE DEAL!

First off yesterday.....after waking up at eight thirty to go to mass and walking down Eau Claire's hill of a mountain, we made it to a nine thirty mass that didn't exist. It was right after we walked in the door that Lauren realized that this mass was at a different location. Oh well. So we just meandered up to breakfast where we ate up some delicious food, and moved on our way. The day was cold but the snow didn't flow so that was nice. I dont know where this is goin.... but anyways we made it to mass that night after touring the campus some more. My suite mate Rob was there right as mass ended along this the president of Coate Hall, a powerful man, a sith lord, a Will Corriveau. So after a good bye we headed on our journey A journey that we didn't know where it was going to lead us. But for real. We just jumped on 53 south because it was well southerly and we just went on that till we saw a sign for La Crosse. It worked!!! Tony our suite mate greeted us warmly and well gave only me a hug.

Today it snowed. It was just too much to handle, the ground was wet the sky was white and the air was some what warm. I didn't like it and on top of all that i was told i have another german vocab quiz tomorrow. Was immer Frau, kann ich spiele dieses Spiele auch. popokopf. SG SG! Ha that was fun. Well anypoo, i shared a small dose of 'A Few of My Favorite Things' wiht Becca aka Wendy on the way back from HPR. I enjoyed this class today, HPR that is. We played jeopardy today with about four hundred students. Men Vs Women. I think we all know who won. Later on i had to take a test i studied for.... well i did but it was all today, but i think i did alright. Anyways im getting wordy so i will cut to the goodies. This evening we were all sitting in the study.....

The study is a jungle at the end of the hall. Our cube 1B ha sort of claimed it as our party house. If you walk down there you will find many of our good men serving their time watching our land. Usually Eric, the best qb around, Josh, who has a brace that is stretching is leg, Jordan, who has a great beard, Becca aka Wendy, and Tony and Rob, my suite mates are down there. I think they have shifts or something and then they all meet there in the evenings for party time. I went down to visit today.... we ended up play catch with an orange, drawing up football plays, reading blogs, and doing other college things. It's just a great college hang our for us college people.

I Lied Today

The situation made it a necessity. The snow was flying, the bands were playing, and the man wanted to know if i was in the band. Well naturally with my trumpet case it was clear that i had played with an earlier high school band. I think that was clear. Lauren was playing the closing at a high school marching band concert along with her 270 bandmates all of which look silly with a feather sticking out of their hats.

Oh and i have a strange coincidence for you all. So im sitting there and the man man behind me says man are you cold? and im like yay its snowing and my butt is in pain. And we get talking and turns out out of all the people in the crowd i sat next to a student at UWL who is there to watch his girlfriend play trumpet in the eau claire marching band. Oh and he lives down the street from me. Small world.

Party in Eau Claire

Just chillin here in Eau Claire with my college gf. Pretty crazy place this Eau Claire. They have this thing called the hill...... it should be called the mountain. I was on my way down the hill just earlier today, down is the easy part, when i saw this girl struggling to push her bike up the hill, but judging from her facial expressions it must have been a cast iron bike. Anyways so this girl is struggling and im like oh crap i dont wanna have to walk up this thing, but then right after i see this girl dying i see this other one sprinting up the hill. This reminded me of the journey my father and brother took up a mountain one time..... haha great story they should tell you sometime. Let Dan tell it he won't exaggerate...... HA!

Anyways so Rob and i are a little worried about leaving Tony alone just from the mere fact that no one will be home to tuck him in or turn out the lights or read him a good night story. I do just have this strange feeling like we are going to find him sitting in the chair playing Madden just the way we left him, but just really hungry. Oh we love tony he makes our lives a little brighter.

There Is a New Rookie in the League

Today Dan Smith was drafted in the third round of the NFL in 2007. The 86 overall quarterback has lead his Dallas Cowboys to a 2-1 start behind his 800+ yards passing with 8 tds. The 6' 3'' 196 lbs rookie has brought a bright future to the struggle franchise whose latest leader Drew Bledsoe has fizzled with old age.

We have Madden 2007 and i enjoy it. I still do my homework so its ok. Also today i had to write a bio lab intro with my group. The two girls just sat there looked at their phones and stared at Josh and i struggling. Joshed typed it all and i timidly helped out with things from the book and lab manual. Do we all remember middle school when girls weren't the laziest people and actually helped out/ did the projects for you. Well ill tell you what if i wasn't just a nice guy id let them have a piece of my mind because clearly they don't have a full one or they'd help out.

Back in the Action

Big day today. Got back on my feat and skunked tony while playing pong today, it was fantastic. Also other fantastic things happened today like me cleaning the room and being innovative with a box. I cut a chunk out and taped it between a shelf and the wall to put xbox games in. It was awesome.

Over the last couple days a poltergeist took over our room. A few times a day clanking over takes the room and the heat rises greatly. A quiet hum over comes us and puts us in a trance. The sound continues up from the floor into the ceiling echoing around the room filling us with fright. Perhaps this is the ghost tony has been warning me about, that says i must pay for tony's college education or i will die. But the warmth is nice so hopefully he stays until winter's over.

I hoping that tomorrow my throat doesn't feel like a badger was trying to dig a hole to hibernate in for the winter. Also the morning i dont have to empty out a gallon sized bucket full of flem will be a good one. Just kidding i do my hacking in the bathroom.

It's Called 'Throwing It Away'

It's a simple concept, you have the ball in your hand, you throw the ball out of bounds. Clearly Rodgers hasn't been told about this great secret QB's have been using for centuries. Favre obviously has gone above and beyond and has master throwing it away into his players arms for touchdowns.

I'm sad and i have homework.

I Can't Believe It's Tomorrow Already

Feeling a bit better today except you probably could have played mancala with my lymph nodes this morning....and now. But it feels great to be back and well just in time for tomorrow. But first i must interrupt, a girl, Jamie, just came to the door and asked if Rob wanted his Pineapple cut. Yes rob does have a pineapple, whole like, in the fridge, and he does want it cut. Tomorrow.

So my eye still hurt this morning from the excessive tv watching hours i logged yesterday but hey it was worth it.... right? I wanna know who else could have flipped through the channels today and complained that all of the movies airing were on yesterday, twice. I was thoroughly upset, but i had homework to do..... but really i did homework that wasn't due until friday. Someone might need to help my mother up now because she might have fainted.

Tomorrow is a day for the history books. Literally if the little children who are learning world history in twenty-five years when the communist government is gone and they finally spend some money buy some of Russia and relieve the over population stress, anypoo these children better be learning of the day Brett Favre was internally disappointed when he lost to the place he called his home for sixteen years, Green Bay. And why the flip doesn't spell check know have to spell Favre yet. Gosh this internet thing is stupid. Any wang chung, i can't wait for this favre-tastic game tomorrow. To just see the favre-ulous game, and the favre-illions of viking fans goin home covered in tears. The tears of joy that flew from the Packers eyes as they crush the vikings. But still i love Brett Favre with the best of the Favre lovers.... and i hope him the best. Brett can get a trillion yards five hundred touchdowns and seventy-six starts, as long as the Packers win im happy. Oh and i wouldn't mind if we held Adrian to mmmm a 1994 Packers v Lions Barry Sanders' total of negative yardage. That would please me.

Can't wait for the game. And i hope some of this made some sense.

How Many Hours of TV Did i Watch Today?

Eleven and counting. I watched soo many movies. Clint Eastwood's The Preacher, Click, The Longest Yard, Willy Wonka, The Rookie, For the Love of the Game, this strange movie im watching now, and glimpses of others such as The Matrix. I'm exhausted. I just hope i feel healthy in the morning i gots lots of homeworks to do.

So last night i was sleeping in the chair again and tony confessed to never seeing me for the first ten minutes he was in the room wandering around me, then by the time he realized there was a person in the chair he was scared out of his mind and almost woke me up to see who i was. What a goofball.

Well back to more TV i guess. I should probably just go to bed though. We'll see. And congrats John and Joe on another victory.

I Was Sick Today

I felt like crap all day and well last night too. It all started when a bunch of people were in our room until 1 o'clock in the morning. From that point on i felt very sick, just the classic sore throat, head ache, fever, aches, and pains. So last night i was attempting to sleep and well that just didn't work out. I laid in bed until like 3 o'clock on and off sleeping sweating like crazy and just not feeling too well. So i attempted to sleep in my chair for awhile. Didn't work. I ended up sleeping on the floor. It was a long night.

Today i was sick all day and it was just terrible, but ever since i started sitting in this chair watching Forrest Gump and Run-Away Bride. Just fantastic movies. I wish i was like Forrest Gump. I feel pretty good now, somewhat.

I hope i sleep until like four in the afternoon and wake up feeling awesome. We all have dreams though, and i would just be happy if i could sleep in my bed with out feeling like crap and having mucus fill up my throat.

How'd My First Bio Test Go?

Not that great to be honest. I was just a little upset and i know that if i study harder next time then i can ace it. It was that terrible feeling when you know you learned the thing but you just can't remember it. Ugh i just can't stand that feeling. Oh well, first test with a new teacher is always a guinea pig. Hence my 87% on my german exam. Don't worry mom and dad its still a B, but i think i can do better. College is just so full of learning how to learn without haven't to put in the effort.... i kid. Well i have a Music Appreciation exam tomorrow and then the weekend.

What should i do this weekend? Well its funny you should ask because i have no idea. I feel like i will clean the room sometime though. We've had a couple spillings this week. Couple days ago tony spilled half a bottle of frebreeze on the ground at like midnight and was not very happy. He also was very concerned that he was going to die of inhaling too much. Then today, tony tried to get me in a head lock and the first wresting match of 119 started. It didn't last very long. After i flipped him over my back, we laid on the ground and cuddled until he got squirmy and then i flipped him around and pinned him. After a count via Eric the match was done, but not at the expense of the awesome new chex mix from Mrs. Klingert and well we didn't lose all of it and Ryan ate most off the floor, but its still crummy.

I need sleep.
