so i was typing this and then i looked up something for my roommate and now i have to start all over again. but thats ok cause i didnt get too far. i'm cooking dinner for the team tonight so i dont have long to do my homework when i get done on here. but i wanted to write on here cause i always seem to have the urge to do my work when i get done on here. and i definately need to do a little homework. if all i do is make an outline for my papers, which is very important. call me crazy, but i was reading out of my harbrace handbook before i started typing this.

today was pretty good. kinda hectic. i went to pick up the truck from school so that we could pull the boats down to oak ridge this morning for the race this weekend, but the school had given away out truck for the weekend, even though we had requested it two weeks ago. pretty crazy. but we found a guy that would pull it for us, it was just a hectic ordeal. yesterday i started in on some of my work but i was just feeling sick, so i couldnt do that. but after i had some chicken noodle soup i perked up. i made it to sundown in the city last night it's a free outdoor concert that knoxville does every thursday during the summer. it was pretty awesome. galactica was there, i had never heard them before, but they were good. marc brusard is coming later in the summer. that'll be fun.

i got my stats test back the other day and i made a good grade. a B. i would mutch rather have an A of course, but for me, a B will be fine for a math class. but then again, i need to step it up in some of my other classes too. but i should be able to raise my GPA again this semester.

i cant wait till summer. i need a break. not really a break, just a change of pace. i really wanna come home. i may try to come home for a day over the study break, but gas is so so expensive that i dont think i will. i actually think i may be able to go to Philidelphia the first weekend after finals. i've always wanted to go. the national championship for rowing is up there. we're not participating, but i know some guys that are so i think i'm just going to jump in the car. splitting the gas eight ways wont be that bad. i'm hoping that we can race up there next year. we'll have to play that by ear though.

the paper i have to write is for foreign policy. i think everyone should take a foreign policy class. it would broaden your opinions. i kinda like the way our teacher assigned this book we had to read, and then again, i kinda dont. i feel like the book, "reluctant crusader" might of been a little biased, but at the same time, i feel like he, the author, was just stating alot of facts and history. but anyways, our teacher assigned and the first day of class he was like, "well, i havent read this book, i just picked one." and i feel by doing that he wasnt impressing his own ideas on us, which i like.

these past few days i've become a food addict. i cant help myself. i just eat way too much. it's not good for me. for anyone really.

we'll i've gotta go do some work. now i only have like 30 minutes to get a little bit of work done. we'll see.
