and that's the way the cookie crumbles..

I haven't posted in awhile, I apologize. I've been really busy, plus I just haven't felt like writing. I am tired today, as I am most Mondays, but today I'm more tired. That's not cool at all. I wasn't going to write today either. I was going to work on a paper that I need to get done, but I'm too tired to do that. I'll work on it after this. My parents came down this weekend. It was nice hanging out with them. They bought me some new shoes which I needed pretty badly, so that was cool. This week is a bit hectic. I guess its the beginning of the end you could say. I've got a 2 papers to do this week, due Tuesday and Friday. I've got alot of reading to do, due Friday and I've got an exam on Friday as well. On top of all that, I've got two research papers that I need to start whenever I have time. Every free moment I have I want to spend studying for my exam because I want to get an A on this one like I know I can. Oh and I've also got a bulletin board to do by Thursday most likely. Oh ya, about the beginning of the end stuff...From here on out I've got to be working my butt off. There will be no rest or relaxation until December 9th at noon. That's right after my final. I'm going golfing that day, or something fun because November is going to be a rough month filled with nothing but papers and reading and papers and reading and some more reading and some more paper doing. I was thinking that if I didn't have my research papers done by Thanksgiving, that I wouldn't go home and just stay here and work on them for two days. I wouldn't have much distractions at all, but that would be lonely. Especially since we are probably all going to gather at my brother's house and I don't want to miss spending time with my family. I'm wearing my FIF hoodie and it has a really big hood and I could easily just pull it over my head, lean against the wall and fall asleep. MMM sleep. Colleen informed me that I don't have to do my desk hour tomorrow because I helped save some cats that a resident had kept in her room. Which means that I'll be able to fall into TWO small comas this week. That's what I say that I do on Thursdays because I wake up for my 8AM class and by 930AM I'm back in my room and then I pass out for at least 3 hours. I look forward to it very much. Now tomorrow I can do the same. I'm going to Disney World this Saturday!! Yay! Too bad its only for a day though, but still, it will be nice to see Aneysi and see Disney for free! Oh man, how could I forget to tell you about my Halloween?! Well first off, the football team lost so I was in a bad mood. But after I hung out with my parents for a couple hours after the game I went to "Moonfest" which is this giant Halloween party thing in City Place. It was OK. I went with some RAs because they were told that there was a haunted house somewhere (which we never found). Anyways, being there helped prove my theory on how stupid people are and also that I'm not like everyone else, and that people are smelly and disgusting. Moonfest was basically a big drunkfest. There THOUSANDS of people standing around city place in costumes and drinking and stuff like that and the combination of sweaty people, alcohol and trash made for quite a smelly time. I was just standing around looking at everyone thinking "this is what you people do for fun?! stand around drinking severly overpriced alcohol with very loud music playing while looking like a moron?" I know what you're thinking "Well then Dan, if you think that then why were you there?" I already told you, we went there for a haunted house. I didn't know it was going to be just like Bourbon Street. Anyways, I did have fun with the people I went with. We had a good time watching everyone walk by while waiting for these two kids to get a slice of pizza, which took about 2o minutes just because there were so many people in line. Also, large crowds like kind of scare me because of the potential chaos that can erupt, I know, I'm weird. I grew a goatee and my parents have never seen me with one so my mom thought it was funny and said something like "what's that on your face?" and my dad said "I think you forgot to wash your face" All in good fun though, I laughed. I wish I had time to practice drums more. A couple weeks ago I had a Friday night where I just stayed in and watched tv and practiced and learned some new music and I must say that it was quite nice and relaxing. I wish I had timie for more stuff like that. Oh well, I will eventually I suppose. I want to start teaching drumlines. I think it would be fun and I think I could do a pretty decent job. Well, I guess thats all the stuff I can think of to write you fine folks this very bright, Monday morning.
