Had the pleasure of Dan, Lynn and Claire Bruce popping in on their way to Franklin, TN - in which Logan, Roy, Harris, Claire and I made a midnight Bryan's-chili-finding expedition to Kroger and proceeded to make fun with grocery carts, camera, and cakes. 

A beautiful day in the neighborhood in which I did something I almost never do and studied for a test a week in advance and to top it all off I won a contest over at the Beehive, and to top all that off, the Phillies whooped the Pinstripes in Game 1 of the World Series tonight!

This week I got my second wing in school which I badly needed - I am remotivated to secure an A in each of my classes for this, my last semester. 

Over the course of the weekend, my laptop was finally overtaken with a disease that has been relentlessly attacking it and BASICALLY what it did was kill the receiver for the battery cord - which means that replacing the battery won't help and replacing the cord won't help, which means that I might have to buy a new computer, but more distressingly is the fact that there is stuff on my laptop I need access to but it won't even turn on!!!!

I am discovering Antonio Vivaldi and really really like his music. VIVA LA VIVALDI!

Mediocrely performed on a test, Granny celebrated 90 years of life, Brother Guna preached tonight, and Michael Jones presented himself for membership in the church (which we enthusiastically approved), - a very good day.

That being said, something about being a loss-prevention officer who can't pursue loss-inhibitors doesn't quite make sense. I suppose, as the trite saying says, " your presence is present enough."

This might surprise you, but I would side with Walmart on this, inasmuch as I would defend the no-chase policy. The gent said "If he'd pull a knife on two security guards, he'd pull a knife on anyone." Maybe, but it's quite apparent that he pulled the knife only because you chased him. It being a non-rehirable offense might be pretty stiff, but I'm not going to spend any more brain time deciding that point.

Over the Smokeys and through the Bluegrass to Cincy Ohio I go....

When I get a place of my own, I will make one wall in the house a whiteboard - you know, the kind for which you use dry-erase markers?

I am depressed by my blog when I go over to beatrice's - it makes me want to give up sentencing you to death.

wrote 5 letters in the last 36 hours - wonderful stuff!

studied a lot and watched baseball playoffs

Baesball playoffs are here!!! ::and there was GREAT rejoicing::

Went with Bro Zack to see Sis. Nell, who was doing relatively well, and then went to the Choral Sampler at school, afterwhich many of us watched Wait Until Dark at Joe's.

Led devotion for school lads and lassies in lieu of Bro. Zack who was out of town for the morning; engaged in my first Toastmasters meeting at school, ran 4 miles, Symphony Chorus, stayed up till 12 on the phone when I was planning on going to bed at 10.

Today the carhop at Sonic told me after seeing me several times she finally figured out who I reminded her of, which is odd, because I hadn't been to Sonic in probably a month - I remind her of "the lead guy in Twilight."
