Well, to appease Mattie (again) I will drop an update. I guess I should anyway, a lot has happened recently and I think I need to write. To start: breaking up can be very stressful, and I’m sure a lot of us know that firsthand. Recently, I had to wake up at 1:30AM to the fact that two of my closest friends, who have been together for a long time and who I expected to be together for a long time to come, had just broken up. It wasn’t the late (or early) waking that bothered me, so much as it was the fact that my world just got rocked hard. I still can’t quite grasp how much this is going to affect my future. And if it’s this hard for me to see what’s going to happen, I can’t imagine how much is going on in the minds of the two most affected parties.

Also, one of my friends broke his arm in two places. He was running naked and drunk at the time. That will be a nice funny story for him to tell his children and grandchildren someday, I guess.

Finals will soon be upon me, and I have two papers to write for one class, one due Wednesday, and one due Friday. Then I have a final in that class Monday 9AM-11AM. Boy will it feel good to be done with that little gem of a learning experience. The only other final I have will be in Database Management, and I’m not sure we’ve actually learned anything of value in that class, so I’ll probably just go and hope for the passing grade. Should I study for my racquetball and badminton finals?

I guess the only other anything of note is that I have been revising my stories some more, and I’ll hope to get some new revisions posted soon. Then once I am done, I can go back to working on The Plot. Aaron, you still need to get me a print of that photo, please and thank-you.

Oh yeah, and I have just embarked on a large and expensive renovation of my car’s audio system. In the end, I’ll have a spiffy new head unit, two speakers in the rear window (there’s only one right now), and an 80GB hard-drive based mp3 player up in thurr. Sexy, eh? Estimated total cost is somewhere around $450, and I’m only $205 deep yet.
