Yesterday, before classes, I paid the fee for my Application for Graduation. It had to be done and it brings me one step closer to graduating college. Part of the application meant thinking of all the other classes I plan to take to graduate. I'm 1 PE, 2 IT, and 1 3000 elective short after this semester. I'm going to take Water Aerobics in the summer. The other classes are in the fall. Classes were fine. We had a review for our Theater midterm by playing a mix of Pictionary and Charades. My team sucked, but I saved them. They made me the leader, against my wishes. But, for my 2 words, they got them. My first word was play; it took me drawing a stop, play, and pause buttons for a person to get it. Mood was down with the Charades. I said it sounded like moon by fake mooning the class. Then, I followed it with smiles and frowns. The term that saved my team was that I dare attempted the term Aristotle's Six elements of Drama. Someone got it! That was hard, by I tried!

When I got home, I had a breakdown. At first, it dealt with feeling unappreciated by my siblings. It ended as a breakdown about missing my mother. Why can't she be here for my graduation? As for my siblings tift, she's calm me down and make me feel better. She knows I try the best I can. I could have really used her and her hugs last night. I miss her hugs and everything. After crying and crying during a shower, my dad checked up on me when I got out of the shower. He made me feel better, congratulated me on the application, and helped me make me bed. He also order me some pizza. I was waiting on pizza when I got home and was sad not see any was left. Funny how simple things just drag you down.

Today, I spent most of the day sleeping. My breakdown wore me out. Around 4:00 PM, my dad and I took my "new car" to the shop. Nicki had burned out the clutch on that car. Still, paying off that car and repairing it was cheaper than getting another car. That was an adventure. After that, I came home and got ready to go out to school. I first stopped at Lowe's and ordered a new pink toliet seat. We have a pink toliet in this house. My dad won't get a new one since it will flush and has a large tank. It should also have a brick in it to save water. However, it needs a new seat and stores don't stock pink seats. I don't know why the previous owners put in a pink seat. Since we've moved to this house, we've done a lot of work. My parents have put on new siding and installed new windows. The full bath needs repairs and we're going to install new flooring in the living room. This is home, but I wish we lived in another home at times.

After the stop at Lowe's, I went to school and saw the Masquers' production of Greater Tuna. I needed to see it for Theater class, but I do go to my school's theater productions without the need of school credit. It deals with the day in the life of the town of Tuna, local radio station OKKK, and the life of the Bumiller family. It was quite an interesting play.

Tomorrow will be a busy day, too. However, that's another entry.

Thursday Threesome:

Onesome: No Bicycles-- on the Freeway? Ya' think? Do you have a better 'sign of the times' for the gang? I'm thinking along the lines of "Coffee is Hot", if you catch my drift...

Note, this is a parody created by my sister years ago. I still laugh at it.

Twosome: on the-- flip side, how about a sign you think needs to be in place? ...maybe something like one that lights up and says, "Get out" after you pull the fire alarm in a building? "Flush the toilet" in big, blinking lights on the back of the stall door in the women's bathroom. It amazes me how many nasty women there are out there that don't flush the toilet.

Threesome: Freeway--, friend or foe? Utility or necessary evil? Extra points if you have to use the Pennsylvania Turnpike or happen to live in Los Angeles <g>!

Depends on your needs. If you don't need it and it gets in your way, it's a foe. For me, a friend. It will take me where I want to go. I can get on I-95 and go north to places like Baltimore and New York or go south to Florida. I can get on I-16 and head up to Atlanta and beyond.

I'm a little upset with Matthew and Nicki at the moment. I had to stop my school work I was doing this morning to do a favor for my dad. Either one of them could have done it, but they had better things to do than me. :rollseye: They had to play American Idol on the Playstation.

As for the crud, I am better. I am over it. That should leave me fine and ready to do what I have to do this weekend. I'm volunteering for the Math Tournament the school will be hosting. I'm glad I don't have to work with Calculus for it!

I didn't go to school today. I feel like . I've got the Savannah Crud. It came on yesterday as I took a much needed nap. I thought I could get through it until last night after dinner. I felt like death warmed over after I ate. I slept most of the day away today, and once I woke up after Nicki screamed at me to show me her psycial science project with two drinking cups, I got up for a while. The Crud is not fun. It's a short illness. You can't really treat it with anything other than rest. It's a sore throat, headaches, and some nasal trouble. I still have it, but it should be better by tomorrow. I didn't want to skip school, but I really needed the sleep today.

Yesterday, I did go to school. I think I did well on my theater test. As long as I get 540 points in that class, I don't care how I do on the tests. I think my partner and I did well on our performance. The professor told us that now we had to get a different partner, which sucks. My partner, Omar, is perfect for acting class. Omar was a high school classmate of my brother's. We've been able to respond to each other's moves as we do our little parts. We've only done 2, but they have been great and have gotten laughs from the class. We not only say our lines, we perform them as well. I hope my new partner is just a good as Omar, which I think he will be. He's one of the other few that actually acts as we perform in class.

Before school, I got the new Target exclusive CD, New Music from an Old Friend. It has the new Richard Marx song "Your Goodbye" on it. Not only that, but there is an updated version of "Hold on to the Nights" on it as well. I'm not used to the new HOTTN yet. I know the 20-year-old version by heart; it's hard to adjust to Richard signing it differently. While we were at Target, Matthew got the Daughtry album. He never thought he's get a CD from a person that didn't win American Idol, but he likes the type of new music that is the Daughtry single.

I smell dinner cooking, whihc I'm sure will do me some good. Later!

Today was ACM day at school today. I took my camera as I'm the photographer for the group. Today's lecture was about steganography. It was a interesting lecture. I impressed some people for being active and understanding in the lecture as well as snapping photos. What can I say? I'm one-of-a-kind. After the lecture, I hung out with our ACM adviser and chair and discussed things we can do for the group. I suggested a game night and a ropes course, like we do with Wesley. Because of the ACM meeting, I missed 4^th Monday Hot Dogs at Wesley Foundation.

I also had a test today in Ethics. I have a test tomorrow on The Imaginary Invalid tomorrow. I've got things to do this week, and I really don't want to do them. In other school news, I got a 3^rd application for ODK today. The Dean of the School of Computing wants a few students to have membership in the society. I guess I beat him to the punch.

On my way home from school, I stopped at Petsmart and got PupPup a squeaking ball and the cats some cat nip. Even PupPup likes cat nip, so I dipped her new ball into some. The cats were quite thrilled to roll in some catnip.

Over the weekend, I was studying on getting a Technician class ham radio license. After 11 years of taking a course in high school, I still don't have one. Now, they don't require Morse Code as they did then. Maybe one day. I should order a book and try to get it.
