back to reality...

well kids, it is that time of the year again.  the time when robert realizes that he sincerley wants to win the lottery so that he does not have to the whole "school/work/study/not get enough sleep" thing.


classes are good so far.  i am registered for 13 hours, 10 of which are in the Honors department, so this semester is going to be considerably more difficult than last time around.  but on a more positive note, i usually excell when i am challenged.


the bookstore is constantly packed with people who apparently cannot read or else they would not need my help to find their books.


if you didn't know, i will tell you now: Damascus Road, the band that melts your face with its amazing guitar solos, played last night, and they did phenomenally!  Justin Holt continues to amaze me, and Josh Vance continues to surprise me his vocal improvement (he gets better and better every time i hear him)


i know that they are having a great time and are being faithful to God's will in their lives, but i miss my friends.


my mom is a pretty cool lady, for those of you who don't know my mom, if you get a chance to talk to her, do so.  i reccomend it.


i see so much of myself in my little brother that it is scary.  maybe he will be smart enough to use my mistakes for his benefit.


for the one negative attitude remark:  do your best to keep your opinion about other people's lives to yourself unless they ask you.  you have no idea how much damage can be done through seemingly simple remarks that find their way back to that person.

I took 9 hours of honors classes last semester, and those were the best nine hours of my school week. I'm dreadfully sad that I only have 3 hrs. this semester. So don't worry... unless you have a hard teacher it shouldn't be harder... in fact... it may be easier... or at least more interesting and rewarding.
