So softball tonight was fun. I tweaked both ankles, but I'm cool with a body that is falling apart. Eventually I will sit around and do nothing for a few days and heal 100%. I played okay. I let a fly ball get out of reach, even though it was a foul and then one line drive flew by me, which kinda sucked, but oh well. I did bat a perfect 1.000 but I still should've done a bit better. I suppose there is next game. I get so nervous before athletic events and then get in the zone when play starts. It's funny but I always go through that same cycle. I got so nervous before football games, I thought I was going to die, but as soon as I strapped up and stepped on the field it was game time.
I think I'm ready for the heat test. I've been studying since Saturday, so I think I've got it down pretty well. I kept up fairly well with the homework and the stuff isn't too bad. Pray I can keep my composure and concentrate on the task at hand. MED, on the other hand, is going to be a tough one. I really need a good score on that test. I did the homework a little differently this round, and I think I got the processes and concepts down now. Tomorrow will be dedicated to machine element design...all day. It's going to be good stuff, can't wait. Then relax for a short time and hit astro project, comm project and study for that super hard comm test. YES! I love having my week planned out so well. I have a feeling I'll be smudging the time to make sure I get a little more to spend with some other homework. hehehe, that one is for the Gregson readers.
Yeah, it's hot. Yeah I'm sweating. Yeah, I'm a bit aggravated, but I've finished two books in the past week and I'm stinking happy about that.
Oh yeah and I don't have a job for the summer yet, so pray for that to work itself out. Maybe I might end up going on another mission trip. Can the money be raised in time? Can I find a place to call my own? I bet with a certain thing called God on my side, everything is possible.
Smile at a stranger, wave at a friend and tell someone good morning. Have a wonderful day!

Back again
Well it's back to the books for me now. I studied most of yesterday evening for heat and soon I'll plunge into the real challenging stuff for MED. I had a bit of humor hit me as I submitted a request to do a research project for astro and totally misspelled the project name. Dr. Roe simply replied "that'll work, just be sure to spell it right." hehehe.
So I'm going to vent for a second, because I know if you don't want to hear it you can read on. It's over 80 degrees in my room right now. I'm not sure I ever really went to sleep last night. Oh wait, yeah I did because I dreamed about dragons, Germany?, and some other random things. But anyways, I slept like poop. I hope it's cooler tonight. Man oh man. It was nice to be in a bed again though. fun times!
Pray for me this week. I've got two really important tests coming up. Heat's not that important, but with only three tests I need to do well. MED, on the other hand, is going to have to help me get out of a rut I've dug for myself. I've got a softball game tomorrow night and have to watch a movie with my small group tonight. It's going to be a busy week. I suppose the best way to get used to the water is to just jump in, so I'm doing that hardcore.
On a lighter note, Orange beach was awesome! It was a bit windy and kinda cooler, but we had so much fun. I slept like I've never slept before, every night. Our condo was super nice and we ate really well. We had sweet n sour chicken, hamburgers, pizza, mac n cheese, and then all sorts of seafood at this little hole in the wall restaurant. I tried oysters on the half shell. Not too bad actually, but nothing I'd eat over and over. A bit like eating thick snot, or so I guess.
It's off to class for me. One review class, one new material class and one waste of time class. Looks like a great day brewing. Hope yours goes well.

It's so windy and I love it!!!
Spring Break! Woo it is great. I'm having a wonderful week, although my skim boarding skills are lame and it's rather chilly in the water. Today was cool, Vanessa and I were the only ones not severely burned and so that was kinda nice. We didn't spend as much time on the beach, after I nearly tore off my big toe, I quit skimming for the day. I'm not near being done though.
After we left the beach, we went to eat at some steak joint. It sucked...mine did at least. We then went to the movies and saw "300". Not too shabby a movie. Although it wasn't exactly accurate, I liked it quite a bit. First movie I've seen that I might actually buy. Maybe not though.
A friend of mine is getting married sometime soon. We were friends and then she went to one school and I went to another and I wonder so often how different would things be if I would've gone to school with her. She was really great and I'm not sure if anyone can come close to her, but I guess that's why I date people, so find new great girls. Every one of them is a little different in their attributes as a great girl, I just kinda wonder how things would be different if I would've gone to school with her. No friends like I have now, but a whole new set instead. Maybe more opportunities since the other school was bigger. I don't know, I think about her a lot since I'm out skim boarding and such and it's spring break. Last time I was on the beach for spring break, I'm pretty sure I was with her.
Tomorrow's looking promising. Almost everyone is going to Mobile, so it'll be much calmer and quieter and I can get some reading done. Yeah right, but I'll tell myself that. Anywho I'm tired and need to get to that reading. Tomorrow's Wednesday. Two more nights here...ugh.

when it gets warm outside...
It's so warm in my room right now, I want to scream. I hate the dormitory.
So I watched Reno 911 and Borat within three days of each other and I feel a little smarter for doing so. I am glad there are people out there to make us average joes look so smart. Both were really funny, but the crudity was a bit much at times. I have to admit I was crying due to the hard laughter I experienced during Borat. I can see many lines being quoted from the crew over the next couple of days.
Speaking of couple of days, it's almost spring break! I'm pumped about everything. I've basically given up on organizing anymore, I'll let everyone else do that. As long as I don't end up paying for stuff I shouldn't pay for, I don't care. If people want to drink, let em. If they bother me or annoy me while drinking, I'll kill em. What do I care? hehehe, not really but maybe I'll bury them with bread crumbs sprinkled around their head so sea gulls attack their face. That'd be super funny.
I'm such a baby sometimes. I love time with my girl and when I don't get as much as I like, I get sorta pouty. She's got a ton of tests and stuff, and although I think she studies too much and gets too stressed out about them, I do need to give her room to study as she pleases. I just really want to hang out. Poopy.
This week is already moving quickly. I can't wait to get home and see my long, lost family and work on my car and then go see my grandpa. Fun times to be had indeed. I might get my hair cut and I will probably run around in my undies some. WOOOHOOO!
I think that's it for today. I have quite a bit of things to do before the break, hopefully I can get them all done and even more. Did I mention spring break is only 4 full days away. The beach is 5.5 days away! I'm pumped.

My friends
I think I will write ppl my thoughts about them. I'm not going to list everyone, just those that pop up in my head.
Kara: You're awesome for your unorthodox ways. You love thrift store clothes and aren't ashamed to show that. Always laughing, but you've got so much more to you than just kicks and giggles. I like it. Keep it up. Don't be afraid to take a chance. But I understand
Jordan: Awesome room mate. You're always bringing me stuff I forget and never asking anything of me. You're a tight-wad, but that's okay it keeps me in check. Don't ask for attention and you'll get it.
Jason: I don't know what to say about you and since you never read this, I won't.
Joe: I doubt you read this either, but keep being a nerd. You're about the coolest nerd I know and it's really funny to hear you ramble about the crazy stuff you do. Lose the mom jokes, seriously.
Steven: You're crazy. Mainly I say crazy to mean dorky. I like it, it reminds me of me alot of times and the things I'd never say because I want to keep my cool points. It's you, though, and you're not afraid of losing those points, which makes you cooler. Keep on, keeping on friend.
Libby: Learn to spell. Man it drives me nuts. You've got a long ways to get really ready for college, but I can't wait to hang out with you some more and your whiny voice. Thanks for going with me to the bunny slopes, that meant a lot.
Vanessa: You never read this either, but thanks for waiting. Thank you a million times over. That about says it all.
Megan: I read your blog sometimes, but I doubt if you ever read this. Hope traveling the world makes you happy. I hope you find what you're looking for.
I think that about sums up all the ppl who might wander onto this site. If your name isn't on here, well then maybe you should post comments more often. Or don't. be that way.

I miss Austin
I miss the flat land where you can see a storm coming from miles away and smell it much sooner. I miss my old house in Chico with the burrs in the yard and the "grasshopper" oil wells. I miss walking to the store in Tomsk and looking for hott cars in Frankfurt with Chris. I miss the clubs in Chihuahua City and I miss riding in the irrigation canals in Delicious with Alfredo. I miss waking up and sitting out by the pool ALL day, by myself. I miss going crabbing with Krystal and Brittany and playing air hockey with Krystal and Danielle. I miss chasing girls with my little brother and I miss hurting Saturday mornings. Man I miss that one a lot. I'm in a reflective mood. I've had a good life. If I were to die today, I would leave behind a ton of awesome people and I would die with an amazing mind full of amazing places and random strangers. I hope as long as I live, I don't forget the things I've done up until now. Especially football, I miss it and my other fellow "pie eaters" so much.
I love people. I sat in the Union today and just watched people (and studied). There are just so many different kinds out there. You've got those who you can tell are watching out for one person and those who don't even care what happens to themselves. People who care what others think and those who don't, but are careful not too offend and then those who don't care one bit who likes them. My favorite person to watch is this girl in the cafeteria. She puts on this show like she doesn't care what ppl think; her hair is stupid and messy and she never dresses up, but she does it because she's cute and she knows ppl do care. Annoys me: girls who think they're hott stuff. Stay away from those! They're bad news.
I'd like McD's baked pies more if they had icing. Otherwise, they're kinda bland. Thanks for the food, btw. It's the fastest way to my heart. ;)
I've got an astro test tomorrow and right now engineering classes are killing me. Go figure right?

It's a beautiful day!
Man it is so nice today. It's warm, which means my room is sweltering, but I love it. Although I have a big test this Friday, among tons of other things to do, I think I am going to throw some football around. It's just too nice to be inside all day.
I've been swimming like crazy here lately. I bought a three pack of goggles yesterday for Steven, Jordan and myself and we ended up switching twice to find the right pair for each of us. I started with some super cool clear ones and ended up with some pretty cool blue ones. Swimming is really doing its part for toning and I can see the difference and feel the difference after I swim. I can't wait for spring break! It's less than 2 weeks away and I can already see myself laying out and skimming all day long.
That's really all I've got today. It's such a beautiful day, I hate to spend it inside typing away. I read your blog, are you reading mine?

my secrets...there are so many
and I really miss working with you and telling you all my worries and asking your advice. Thanks for calling me all the time for random things (I know you just want to hear my voice, I just want to hear yours).
I am whatever you say I am...NOT!
I hate style. I absolutely hate it. I am prey to it's always taunting appeal, but I hate it. Some people think they know all about it and I think they don't. I just so happen to think popped collars are dumb, along with guys wearing bright pink shirts. So what if I still wear t-shirts I got in high school, so what if I wear a jacket with fur on it? Abercrombie and Fitch want you to think it's instant coolness if you wear their stuff, but I hate to tell you A&F, in 10 years your stuff will be like duckhead and the people who wear it will be made fun of. I assure you.
I also hate people who cut others down. I won't say hate, how about greatly dislike. I do it sometimes too, but doing it all the time and being known for doing it is sad. I'm sorry you feel like you've got to pump yourself up by cutting others down. It is really hard for me to show you your true worth when you're cutting others down. Oh and while I'm on this. I don't care if Steven Reynolds wears sweats, thick glasses, walks like a gorilla and smells like crap, he is one of the nicest guys I will ever meet. If you think he's contrary to any of that, well then you need to recognize people for the real person inside. Keep laughing about what you like and keep rolling your eyes when he says something off beat, but don't think that it makes you any better than him. For that matter, Blake's the same way. So what if he makes comments that stop a joke or he makes comments that don't make sense. If your transmission ever goes out, he'll gladly come and see what's wrong and help you in ANY way he can. I know he will and I will happily take two friends like that over fifteen who dress cool or act cool or whatever.
Now that that is done, I feel much better. It's been a somewhat eventful weekend. I had this awesome scavenger hunt today. V made it for me and it was pretty cool, that is until Steven and I took it to the extreme and then it became amazingly cool. We had so much fun being totally stupid in every picture we took. Heheh. Thanks for coming along, you made it much more fun. Then we found this other killer clue she left and man it took us all night to figure it out. I finally figured it out once I realized that some numerical operations were ambiguous and didn't matter. Man you calculus level girls. hehe. Just kidding, it was fun for all it was worth and I can't wait to claim my prize.
Man watching the Bourne Supremacy tonight really made me miss foreign language. I wish I could find a way to fit some more of them into my schedule. I really do like Russian and Spanish isn't too bad. If I could just get Russian and German down, I could understand almost all the movie without subtitles. Woo, that'd be super cool. Anywho, I need to brush my teeth, work out and read.
