FINALS!

So I have finals. As do most of my friends. I wish I had tests like normal people who have finals. I have papers to write. One was fairly easy I suppose, a 5 page paper, I knocked it out in one night, but it's pretty bad, not my greatest piece of work. The things that are stressing me out the most are the two main ones. One is 8 pages (due Monday), again, not that long, but it's worth 25% of my grade, and the other is 13 pages(due next Friday) and is worth 50% percent of my grade! WHO DOES THAT??? And it's not like I can just crank out those pages and not really think about them, they're really really in depth subjects! You have to KNOW what the heck you're talking about, which I suppose is the point, but dang man. I guess that's what I get for taking Grad level classes. Granted I did take a work out and a guitar class to even out the stress, but wow. I'm leveled. Sigh. I'll get them done. Somehow. Even if I have to call in sick to work, I'll get them done. And I'll have the best of distractions by my side to help me through them.
Speaking of distractions, I think I spent like maybe 4 hours actually writing my paper the other night, and spent around 6 just messing around. It's not that I don't want to write the paper, I really do, I just can't focus on it. I think I have ADD, because I get distracted easily, and I can't stay on task alot. My friend Paul told me about this medication that they have him on (and he's much worse about being on task than I ever was) called Aderol or something like that. It was a miracle, he was able to focus on something for more than 20 minutes! So if it works for him, I think I'll look into maybe trying something out for me. As long as the side effects aren't worse than what I'm dealing with now, I think it'll be a good thing.

48-24, and then some unimportant things.

First, let me say FORGET 4th and 18, it's all about 48-24!!!!! If you don't know what I'm talking about, let me educate you. Utah recently beat byu DOWN, 48 to 24, with their beloved kitty quarterback accounting for 6 turnovers! The first three quarters were close, and exciting, but the fourth quarter Utah pulled away and blew them out of the water! So not only did byu lose on my birthday, they lost as my Christmas wish too!

HA HA HA!!!! So that was a great way to um, start off the holiday season we'll say. I did have to work Thanksgiving day, but I got paid double time, so it wasn't a bad thing totally. I had some wonderful friends bring me food from their celebrations with their families, so I didn't starve. My sister Laura took off to Vegas with her fiance, so she was taken care of. The morning after Thanksgiving, was Black Friday of course. I didn't have to work, but my roommate and best friend Jason did. Poor guy had to be at work at 3am! Sadly he didn't wake up in time to walk there without being late, so guess who had to drive him to work? That's right, me. And then I drove up to Idaho, and my Idaho family had moved, none of them were answering their phones, so I I wasn't sure where to go at first, but I eventually got a hold of someone and figured it out. I had a great weekend up there, and I saw a ton of friends and family. Went paintballing, and i wasn't the one who was hit the most, so that was nice. All in all it was a pretty good holiday. I've started my Christmas shopping, but I'm having a hard time remembering that even though it's cool and I want someone to have it, I can't always afford it. I also have a hard time telling people what I want for Christmas too. It's not that I don't want anything, I just don't know what I want. I'll be heading home for Christmas this year too. It'll be weird just a bit cause my family moved to Alabama recently and I won't have any of my friends from High School to be around, and neither will any of my siblings. It will still be good to see my family though. Sorry this is just a rant, I don't really have any focus tonight. Maybe because my boots and bindings finally came to my work today and I've been waiting to try them on till after I finish this. So... I'll see you later.
