First things first -- I need to learn how to tell time. Ok, I get woken up this mornng by my dad yelling at me from the kitchen, since my room is in the basement. I open up my eyes to reveal that my clock shows 20 minutes till 9. Apparently my alarm set for 8 did not go off or I never heard it. Im getting up and rushing to get dressed because my first class starts at 9 and I did not want to be late for it, you know, cause im a good boy. Then my dad tells me I need to let my car warm up because of the ammount of frost on the windows and stuff. I of course give in and run my car for a while, letting it melt away the pseudo-ice thats ingulving my car, all the while im staring at the clock watching my time tick away. I only had 15 minutes now. I was going to be late, I could already tell. I was about ready to walk out the door when I heard my alarm go off. Oh well, I thought, I must have had it set to the wrong time. I finally hope in the car and take off. I keep looking at the time, and im loosing more and more precious minutes. I look at my DIGITAL clock -- crap, its 01 now, class is starting. I finally pull into the lot at 08 -- but wait a minute. Let me read the whole time -- 8:08 -- holy crap. Now everything made sense.

To make a long story short, im sitting in a computer lab, since I neglected to bring my own laptop, "knowing" that I wouldn't have time to use it, waiting for 9 o'clock.

Here I am, in the all too familiar place known as the UC. Nothing much ever goes on in this place, except lots of food eatting. And let me tell you, I love to eat. Anyway -- thanksgiving break was not too eventful. I got to sit around most of it and do nothing but sit at my computer desk. Speaking of which, I needa reorganize my room soon, so any ideas would be appreciated.

You know, friends come and go throughout your life. However, there are some that you think you will love forever, as much as you can love a friend. Ive had many friends that Ive thought that about, but not many have let me down in this regard. I hate to say it, but I think I am losing touch with one of my friends out there. He/She seems to never want to have anything to do with me, and he/she changed drastically before the semester started. I cant ever talk to him/her without thinking about what a bad choice he/she made. I guess this is just me ranting or something. Maybe im just jealous of the people he/she associates himself/herself with. Oh well.

Well, the current time is 12:44, Calculus is starting in less that 16 mins now, so I must be on my way. Once again, comment away.
