Wow, I have not updated this thing in a while...and today will not be any different. Truth be told, nothing has happened at all that is noteworthy. Um... yeah... so... I might be doing something different tomorrow, but I am not too sure, we'll see.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Okay, first off I got my grades, and once again I have come up short to get my good student discount dammit. My final grades:

ATM 10 (Severe Weather) - B
ECN 1A (Microecon) - B
PLB 143 (Evolution of Crop Plants) - B
GEL 150B (Geological Oceanography) - B- <------B FREAKEN MINUS!!!!! NOOOOOOO!!!

GPA = 2.93

Oh well, I guess you win some you lose some....oh and moving on with my losing streak. My truck cost me $380 to fix... The mechanic fixed the electrical problem with the carb, but he also told me my water pump was going out and that if I didn't fix it I was running the chance of it breaking lose and going into my radiator, and that would not be good. So I just had him replace the pump. He told me that I might be able to do it myself and he would show me where the pump is and how I can get it out. Then I asked him how long it would take him, and he said if everything ran smoothly 1 and a half hours. I almost had a stroke, if it is going to take him an hour and a half how long would it take me...then he said that he also has to correct tools (with power) and that he also has 20 years experience. So I told him to dive in, I wanted no part of that job. My dad said something about the timing belt or chain, but my truck has a chain so he said not to worry about it til about 200K miles.

So along with the rent and insurance for my truck I am going to have a very thrifty rest of the summer....also my tv is going out and would like to repalce, but, like I said before thrifty...maybe I'll get a tv card for my computer, it'd be cheaper than buying a new tv. Okay, I gotta go, have to wake up early tomorrow for work and other crap...leights.

So I am the only one home right now, and I have nothing to do. I basically took today off, and I have been doing some thinking:

First, my mom and dad say no b-day present for me this year because of my laptop...thats because I agreed that the laptop would be my future graduation gift, b-day present, and major christmas gift. So here it is, I talked to my parents about this deal last year before my birthday so I lost that birthday gift, then my major christmas gift, and the grad gift is still obviously in the distant future. Okay, so here is the catch, my dad won $500 last year around my birthday, so my parents choose to send me up a b-day gift of $50.21. However, my mom and dad want to count that as a birthday gift and make this year that I pay my birthday debt. I feel though, that I paid this debt last year, and the only reason I got a gift was because of the winnings and it was a "bonus gift". So as a result I feel I deserve a gift this year.

Second, since my graduation and Andy's graduation are falling on the same year my mom is going to lump our graduation celebrations together, however I do not agree with this. I feel that it is like lumping someones birthday and christmas gifts together just because the days are close together. However, I do understand my moms standpoint on this: Graduation parties are freaken expensive. so this is what I feel should happen; I want Andy to have the big graduation party and I would like a smaller, much smaller, family get together. I don't want Andy's graduation to be overshadowed by my graduation and vice versa. Besides, I have already had a graduation party from high school and I don't want Andy to miss out on that.

Third, steph bought me a digital camera; Canon, 3.2 MP for $200. It is a combination of money she owed me (for goods and services), our 3 year anniversary, and my birthday gift. I am so happy with the camera, I went around taking pictures of all my fish. When I was taking their pictures I found myself falling in love with fish again. They are sooooo hilarious and it is so much fun watching them. It is funny too because they all have their own personalities when it comes to taking pictures. So really enjoying taking pictures, while some are like my grandma and run the other way when a camera comes near. Like Yin and Yang (they're oscars) love the camera. When I am trying to take pictures of other fish in the tank they rush in and start trying to attack the camera blocking my view...too curious. Then there is the gold gourami I have that hates the camera, he runs off to the back of the tank or darts around so I can't get a good picture. I'll post pictures later tonight maybe.

Oh, I also hope to be getting decent grades this quarter. I felt good leaving the tests, but like always I am probably not going to do well. Oh...I one more thing, I bought a brand new SD card for my digital camera. Its a 1 Gb card for only $75 (thats including shipping). It's really a good price because one 512 mb card is $35 with rebates (not including tax). So to get the same size worth I'd have to spend at least $70 for two and that would be a hassle. So now all I have to do is find a nice case for the camera, so I am thinking about going to best buy tomorrow to see if I can find one, since I have that $10 gift certificate. Okay, thats all for now...I am off to cause trouble...leights.

Finally I am done with finals, it was a long time coming. I always get my finals on the last possible day. I am just glad they are over and done with. On a different note my body seems to be mounting some sort of offensive attack against the warts on my hands and legs. One day they just got really itchy and red. It was very itchy, so without thinking I scratched them, then I realized that it was my warts. Now, after all the itching they are healing over with just regular skin. Also, it was pouring rain today, what the hell is up with this weather. Okay, I am going to veg...leights.

Welcome Back Mr. Jackson. And I am not talking about the "acquitted" molester one either.

So I am here on campus with my laptop, I have been studying for the past 2 hours and took a small break to find that jackson was found innocent. I just found the whole thing kind of funny, and I knew he would be found innocent. So anyway, moving on... it's freaken hot...it must be in the mid to upper 90's... and I have to sit outside... I love this wireless connection, it's great. Uh oh, my laptop is going dead, I guess I don't know how to charge things as my dad so eloquently put it...I think I am going to have to get a new battery for this thing, it is not holding a charge like it used to. Okay, I gotta go before my computer dies. Oh, my schedule is 1 final today at 4 pm, 2 finals on wednesday at 10:30 and 4pm, and 1 final on thursday at 4 pm...okay that is all...leights.

so I have been waking up in the morning more tired than when I go to bed, and I am beginning to think that I have some sort of sleeping disorder. I know what you are thinking, "he is just not getting enough sleep". For the most part I agree with you, but the past few days when I get 9 hours or more sleep I still wake up sleepier than ever. I am tired during the day and often fall asleep in class or just sitting on the couch in the afternoon. I have thought that I might have sleep apnea because I have many of the symptoms of sleep apnea. For instance, I know that people have heard me before, I sometimes stop breathing during sleep and do that huge snore that wakes me up. I am thinking about going to the doctor and maybe getting a referal to a sleep doctor. Here is more information on it if you would like to look at it; also here is a sleep test if you want to check for yourself. Okay, I am going to try and go to bed now...leights.
