So I had a long weekend, during which I did not do my physics take home test or my calculus 2 homework, both of which are due Tuesday, so I will be doing it fast tomorrow. I don't know why I'm in this funk, but I don't like it, I'm starting to get panicky about my grades, calculus is getting harder by the day and I still keep waiting until the day before to do the homework. I think I'm going to go back to the homework that was assigned since the beginning of school and do it again, by myself this time though, I hope that I can catch up before its too late!!!

Well now since the bad parts of the weekend are out, the good parts can come out too. I bought a garden torch for my parents this weekend and got to use it. The garden torch is a flaming tube that is hooked up to a propane tank and all you have to do to use it is hold it over the plant you wish to get rid of for a couple seconds and ka-blamo weed goes away. So with said garden torch I went around the house and burned all the weeds, which made me feel awesome lol (I'm sort of a pyro). I also got to hang out with my girlfriend and my see my Great Aunt and Grandma from around Akron Ohio, which was awesome!!!!

Well I'm going to hit the hay, I'm super tired for some reason.

I don't understand why I always feel tired, I get through 2 REM cycles ( REM = rapid eye movement, which are for 3 hours a piece) and I still am ready to fall right back to sleep. I'd also like to note that I have lost ambition to do just about anything. I would rather play xbox 360, from when I get home to when I go to bed. This is rather inconvienent for things like my homework, grades, and hanging out with friends.

In other complaints, my cat has moved back to only eating soft food, which is killer on my whole monthly budget... thank god for aldi's, cheap food!!!

Now the good side of life, Saturday my girlfriend and I went to the movies and watched Gamer (btw, it sucks!!! I won't watch it again). We also went to Pizza Forum, which is right up the road from IPFW, and got some awesome pizza. I've been there a half dozen times and I have to say it rocks, not one bad meal! Pizza Forum also has a discount for IPFW students, which is 10 % off your whole meal, or a 12" peperoni pizza for CHEAP!!! Like I said, amazing place.

Other other news, I'm starving!!! I'll let y'all go now.

So it has been a long week and I'm glad it is finally over! I am of course ready for a knap like the title states. I also hate crickets!!! There is two of them under my house and they cricket everyday, every second, and yada yada yada, I'm ready to get a lighter out and burn them, or drown them. Then I'll have to seal the house up with silicone to ensure they can't get under there again and from the sounds of it I might have to spray pesticide down there too.

So I want to inform everyone that at the end of October the Boy Scouts of Edon, Ohio are going to be hosting a haunted forest at the Walts Park Forest. I don't have an exact date, but when I do get the info I plan to give it out to everyone I can. I know it'll be good because I'm going to work it, as I have every year thus far. The trail is going to be upgraded compared to every year, so we will have actual bridges for people to walk over instead of mulched over stackes of logs.

Other news: I have homework to do so I will chat everyone up later, peace!

It has been an interesting week thus far. I have had little time to myself to think, let alone get a blog in, until now. I have recently started an on-campus work-study job, where I sit at the front desk of the Dean of the Engineering Technology and Computer Science (ETCS)'s office, and at the desk, when one first walks into the ETCS success office. I mostly work on homework, answer the phone, and help anyone who comes in with a question, so it's a cool job.

What else is new... Um, well I got sick from my girlfriend and I now have to do my best not to breathe on anyone, I cough into my shirt, and I keep sanatizing/washing my hands in the best effort not to get anyone else sick.

Verizon shut my internet off, it's very sad. Unfortunately my parents missed the invoice so the bill hasn't been paid and thus I have no internet.

Math is somewhere between difficult and understandable, although I need to put a lot more effort into it if I plan on having a nice grade when I pass. Physic is difficult to explain, the prof is the type of guy that won't tell you the answer, instead he expects you to learn it from the material and will answer your question with another question. In class we don't have lectures, we have class discussion where we answer problems out of our learning manuals and he expects everyone to participate. This is a lot different form the classes where I could give an unclear definition and the teacher clears it up for me. The thing is even though I can complain about all this I know this class will be a good thing for me, because I won't have only the "make up an answer" mentality, I'll also have the "think it out" method to use at my future job.

I think I'm a rambler- which is a trait I inherited from my father because he can talk and talk lol.

Well I think I'm going to get off of here and probably go home, these long days on campus are crazy, or at least for this week :)

Take care all
