What Day Is This

time 5:17 pm feeling in a good mood but I feel illness creeping in... reading Cat's Cradle, dammit! wearing I'M A SPY shirt music Some Devil and my cool iTunes stuff ready for bread to eat! next oh god...submit to Illustrator once again...I am going to die...

Okay, so I shouldn't even be updating, but I am going out of my mind here. School has taken over my life, and it's only week 6! Seriously. Last night I DREAMT in Illustrator, that my life was an Illustrator document, pulling curves and adjusting points and driving me insane! Gah. But whatever, I feel pretty good about the stuff I am doing and such so this is a good development. I am also taking an interest in the advice my peers have to offer, this is also a new (good I hope) development. See! I too can be a good student.

I know, everyone reads that and is like, duh you're a good student. I'm just saying.

SOOO, yeah! This will be fast. It's been a good week, yes it has, full of fun in and out of the classroom (especially Kindergarten). Today Molly and her little comrades brought alphabet shaped cookies they had made to Type class, originally I was taken aback/annoyed/ready to get my gun permit out as a result of this but yet I realized that this was indeed something I would do/have done so I had to keep my mouth SHUT and just appreciate it. And I did. Yesterday we did shot put in Track and Field and that was way cool because of good ol' Roy. I am going to miss him (not the pop quizzes though, man!).

Um, okay, the biggest news though is that we now all of a sudden have wireless network in our apartment!! Where the hell did that come from?! I am on it right now, it is fantastic. Matt pointed out that I am likely stealing from a neighbor's, hopefully this is not the case. IN ADDITION, I now have a working version of Flash and an entire thing of Microsoft Office X on my computer! Yes, I succumbed to stealing programs. BUT I am excited that they worked, so what can I say...

Yeah! And the Cubs are kicking some ass, now, you know I don't care about professional sports nor baseball for that matter. BUT! My Grandpa, Leroy the Great, has a great interest in these Cubbies and it is very exciting for him and thus the whole family. So bear in mind that this is family related.

Yeah, so the other thing was that I was going to have a new site up by, um, now. NO. BUT I do have a new hostess!! Yes, Diana is hosting me, I love her for it. I cannot wait to get going on it but this logo and these fonts stand in my way. However I do like doing them so I shouldn't complain. Just know that a new look/world is in the works!

Oh yeah! One more thing (or two, or three...)! I did whipbacks through to backs on Monday at practice! YES! Something I haven't done since probably 12th grade. Hot stuff. I was like little miss powerful on Monday, I hope this happens again someday in my life. My legs were actually doing things, good things, like making me spring up and land my Arabians and do whips! We are having a meet here on Nov. 8 with WI (Jenny!) and KS, so I don't want to look like a freak.

OK one more - Matt is coming to visit this weekend and Jenny the next! So these are great things, my two favorite people :).

OK enough. This is the most random I could be. I think I am going to lose my mind and end up in an insane asylum before the month is over. Ciao...
