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&#8217;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&#8217;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&#8217;t quite grasp how much this is going to affect my future. And if it&#8217;s this hard for me to see what&#8217;s going to happen, I can&#8217;t imagine how much is going on in the minds of the two most affected parties.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;m not sure we&#8217;ve actually learned anything of value in that class, so I&#8217;ll probably just go and hope for the passing grade. Should I study for my racquetball and badminton finals?<\/p>\n<p>I guess the only other anything of note is that I have been revising my stories some more, and I&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>Oh yeah, and I have just embarked on a large and expensive renovation of my car&#8217;s audio system. In the end, I&#8217;ll have a spiffy new head unit, <em>two<\/em> speakers in the rear window (there&#8217;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&#8217;m only $205 deep yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, to appease Mattie (again) I will drop an update.
