We got our grades from France today. Finally. I did well.

I overslept and missed my first class so I shall use this opportunity to do what I always do, talk about my classes.

I had 17 credits this semester but I just dropped a class so now I'm down to 14. This semester is pretty much just catching up on requirements.

On Mondays and Thursdays, I have Earth Environments at 10:50. This class seems exactly like my 9th grade science class. The professor is married to my fourth grade teacher. It's like a timewarp. That's the one I missed this morning.

I also have Intro to Communication at 12:15. This is a requirement so I don't really care. I'm trying to see if I can avoid buying the book at all. It's going well so far. I just wrote a min 2 page paper last night that turned into 4 pages.

After that I had a French class. I dropped it. Gasster taught it, not Pichot and her idea of contemporary Francophone literature was African colonization books from the fifties to the eighties. It was horrible. Plus the books were very difficult.

Then tonight I have Image Editing. It's my only fun class. It is way too easy. During the first class, we changed a picture to grayscale! And that was our assignment.

Tuesdays, I have Humanities at 8am. I have it with McMillan who is pretty much the easiest prof at AQ. This is another required class. It's actually a sophomore required class that I didn't take last year because of stupid France.

Then I have my lab at 1:40. He says we'll watch movies and walk along streams. That's as hard as that class gets really. The walking.

Tuesday nights I have my first quad. It's Theology of Christian Marriage and it is with the hardest theo prof. Yay for me. It runs from 6:30-10:30. My first paper, due tomorrow, is supposed to be 5 pages of what I expect marriage to be like. It is going to be a lot of blabbing.

Wednesdays I don't have any classes. I just work.

Thursdays are just like Mondays except I don't have Theology.

And on Friday, all I have is Humanities and then I work.

I work on Tuesdays and Thursdays too.

So yeah. This semester sucks. I have to give two TAPED speeches eventually in my communication class. It shouldn't be too bad. It is a required course so most people should be able to get As.

I'm going to go try to find clothes now. I love you all.

P.S. Nick's grandmother isn't doing very well. Please think happy thoughts for her. Thanks.

I can't wait until I'm 21. Then I'll be a real adult and get to go to any concert. I'll be past all stupid age limits. Ha ha, world, I scoff at your attempts to foil my plans!

I should go to bed now. It's actually almost 3. Not 7.

16 just held such better days.

I miss you.

It isn't supposed to be this hard.

Ready to fall.

I don't even know where to start.
I'm super super depressed and lonely.
It feels like I'm losing my best friend.
There is so much I want to say I just can't form the sentences.

What is the worst thing that I could ever see?

A beaver.

It was on the corner of E Beltline and Burton. It looked exactly like those stupid pictures and videos except its tail was brown and not cross-hatched. He was hanging out in a ditch on the side of the road by some marshy area.

Hannah says the government discovered that I was on to them and sent a robot to convince me.

I think she's right.

P.S. Changed my background. It's a picture I took in Venice. Sigh. I miss Europe.

A STORY!
I took my first ride from a stranger. It was like inadvertent hitchhiking.

I was on the bus and it started sprinkling a little bit and then, out of nowhere, POURED. I got off the bus and the driver suggested I take a schedule to use as a makeshift umbrella. I did. I walked five steps and my pants were soaked. I don't even know what my backpack is like, I should probably go air it out.

I got to E Beltline and the light just turned red so I had to wait. I was standing in the rain for maybe 15 seconds when a car pulled up and the driver started talking to me. It was a kind of old car and there were two kids in the back. He asked me how far I had to go, I said only down E Beltline. He offered me a ride and I accepted.

Maybe only Kelly will understand why I did this. It was raining, I was soaked, wearing a very light tank top and jeans, the light was red, I still had 479 yards to walk (1,437 feet) and I did not get any apprehensive/creepy feelings at all. Which is unusual for me because I worry about everything. He had two kids in the backseat, I had my cell phone and plenty of heavy books with which to whack him.

I got home fine and was filled with warm fuzzies about very kind people. People rock, the world is good, the end.

Now I have to wait until Nick gets home to get lectured.

I love you all.

P.S. I also have been overpaying for my bus rides and the bus driver was kind enough to point it out. She said that AQ students only pay 40 cents and the 10-ride card is basically 80 cents a ride. I only had a ten dollar bill so she said I can just pay twice tomorrow instead of overpaying. People are awesome!

I think Zelda:Twilight Princess is the most satisfying game, both ending and playwise. There's nothing at the end about resetting time like nothing happened. And you still get to deflect magic balls with your sword! (note to me: try bottle) And Midna's smokin' hot.

I half expected Ganon to be up there conducting an orchestra the way that music was. It was awesome. (he'd turn around and be all Uh... ... what? then a concussion blast turns them to dust. (the orchestra))

Time to collect 30 or so poes and more heart pieces.

I love you all.

P.S. Typed this all on the Wii. It was a major pain.
P.P.S. Want to be WiiFriends? I have Voldemort. And Jesus. And Buddha. And Mr. T. And Christina Ricci. And Hitler.

This isn't goodnight this is goodbye.

& I let him go without saying I love you.

It was really really difficult.
Even though were not together.
Even though we havent been for 5 months now.
Even though I've seen him with countless girls and know nothing would have ever happend between us again.
It was still hard.
Harder than anything up to this point.

Did I ever tell you about that time we were in Prague?

We were in Staromestske Square during the week of Easter and there was a festival. Along with various food stands, there was a stage where multiple groups of schoolchildren performed acts ranging from line-dancing to recorder-playing.

This group was my favorite. They wore yellow t-shirts and sunglasses while they sang a song in English.

The lyrics:
"...here to stay
Your body is a wonderwall to touch
I want you so bad,
Want you so much
Your body is a wonderwall to touch
I want you so bad,
Want you so much..."
