its been awhile and i guess since shannon, chris, maren, meghan, and rick read this i will continue to post...how lucky u guys must feel

i warn u this is going to be long but it is also probably going to be awhile again before i post so READ IT!!...all of it...

this has been a very interesting semester in so many ways that im not quite sure where to begin...it feels as though it has taken forever yet looking back it happened so fast

i just today turned in a project that was due almost a month ago and its for a class that i fear i am going to fail...and its not bc of the project but bc of the material taught in class and the questions presented on the tests...i walked into the second exam not really knowing anything and sure enough i knew enough to write my name and a plea to just give me a zero...it was so horrible it was laughable...what was not laughable was the make-up test we could take to replace any test and that was by far the worst make-up test ever...the questions were foreign in nature and i ended up making up every answer in hope for some credit that would replace my already achieved zero...i also wrote at the bottom of each page: WORST MAKEUP TEST EVER!...to get the point across as if they didnt already know it bc of the number of people who just walked out on the test bc they decided not to take it...the class is called Construction 3 (yes ive had to two others just like this one) and its alot of engineering shit that i dont think is all that necessary but my roomate Austin the studious architecture student about to graduate in 11 days thinks differently...fuck him...haha...u like that chris? haha

so for some reason my sister and i decided to take a italian class...its not bad but i havnt been able to put a 100% effort into the class bc its not required or anything...however the teacher who i find to be pretty attractive (native italian chick whos maybe 26ish) thinks ive got real potential and thinks that if i studied a little better i could be speaking fluently...haha right...i might be imagining this (partly bc i think shes hot) but i think she has a thing for me bc she almost always calls on me and im not even offering to answer the question (almost as if ive become the teachers pet in reverse)...my sister on the other hand doesnt ever get called

speaking of my sister shes going to be leaving this great institution of texas tech bc for some reason she isnt fitting in well...i dont understand it bc she has got to be one of the most social people i know and according to her she hasnt made any real friends here...she hopes to transfer to dare i say it, u.t. next fall...whatever makes her happy i guess...however i can tell u it has made it hell on our relationship and its unpleasureable to be at home bc the subject always comes up and it gets ugly...real ugly

only two days left of this semester and hopefully i only have two more semesters after this one...i have decided not to go into graduate school as of yet bc unlike many other college students i want to get into the real world as soon as possible...i would go right now if i could...

well thats all i could muster up...yes i used the word muster...and i think im going to go get a midnight snack

and i will leave anyone who reads this question to ponder (i would like responses either directly or on ur own webentry) : what has been the best college experience u have had thus far??

im curious of who all has a subscription to this...and if its worth posting if no one reads it...

?

ive got to be the laziest person in the world when it comes to updating this...probably the only reason is that because i cant sleep and chris my roomate was commenting about mine today...he was commenting about the sound byte that plays when u view the site and for those of u who dont know, i.e. chris, its from the movie good morning vietnam with robin williams...i thought it was funny but i think its time to change it since its been playing for so long that i cant stand listening to it anymore when i view my site which probably means neither can anyone else who frequents my site which is probably no one...

so the last entry i put up had a complaint about my job this summer and how i thought it was headed for the shitter...well what makes that entry even better is the fact that somehow my boss's wife and presumably my boss from this summer read it...i ran into them at a wedding where camp people were getting married so it was natural to see each other...anyways the only thing that the boss's wife said to me was (and mind u it was very casual like it was nice conversation) : "I read your blog."...i didnt know what the hell she was talking about at first and then it donned on me...its a good thing that i thought through it when i wrote the entry bc i truly wanted to put some more things but i was afraid that it might be read by the wrong people, i.e. my boss...wiping my brow on that one...its a good thing there was an open bar at that wedding bc i sure as hell needed a drink after that...because of this event though i will not further bitch about the camp i worked at on this site like was promised in the last entry...however i will say assuming camp people read this is that i hope that maybe the words i said HIT HARD because i wont back down from them because i feel strongly about it and so do many others who keep it bottled up...again i apologize to anyone who feels different...

on to happier things...

this isnt actually happy but somehow ive managed to get some kind of infection on my arm...its not pretty...looks like a really really big mosquito bite or something like that...it started with a scratch that i recieved at camp (maybe i should get workmans comp for this even though its a good bet they would tell me to fuck off at this point)...and it turned into this red puffy bump with a hard mass underneath (possibly a cyst?...who knows)...i got put on antibiotics and it worked for a while in terms of clearing up the redness but now its red again and it hurts like hell when i put any pressure on it...im going back to see the doc today...im betting its going to have to be cut open and shit like that...its gonna suck
