It’s been awhile since I updated. So, world, here it is.
1) Julie and I won “The Newlywed Game” at our Church Valentine’s Day dinner. To quote Julie, “We kicked the competition in the face.” Thank you, and you’re welcome.
2) Yesterday was my little brother’s Birthday. Mikey turned 10. He was 5 when I left home for college, so needless to say, it was a bittersweet phone call home. I “sang” him happy birthday, and my Dad and I decided I need to either call home everyday for three minutes or never call again, because it’s always a 45 minute affair everytime I call.
3) I made glasses out of paper clips for our Mike Wazowski toy. It was James’ idea, and it came out pretty sweet.
4) Basketball playoffs start tomorrow. I foresee playoffs also ending tomorrow, but it will be fun.
5) My other brother Ed is coming out to visit in a few weeks. That will be the greatest thing since the discovery of four additional moons around Jupiter by Galileo and his new invention, the telescope.
Peace out!

My regular semester classes have started up and are moving along “swimmingly.” Mind you that I can’t swim. It’s working out well, and I actually had a vocab quiz today in Greek that I kicked in the face. 19.5 / 20. And I have been reading so I understood our class discussion, which didn’t happen a lot last semester, but I really like. I still have to buy the books for my other class, so I am a little behind, but it’s all good.
Last Friday we had “Dude’s Game Night” at Andy’s, and we had a lot of fun playing Citadel. It was Steve’s game, and I am looking forward to when we play again. Andy got a raw deal, that’s all I can say.
And Basketball is over for me! We have one more game this weekend, but Julie and I are going to the church valentine’s dinner instead. It’s an attempt to meet other people in the church we don’t normally see, and for a good meal while we’re at it. Basketball was fun, and I am glad I did it. We had a consistent no-win season, but it was a good time.

Oh yeah.
Now I can start a normal schedule, and perhaps start sleeping again. I have found that after two weeks, I can now stay up until 1am without too much of a problem. If I could keep up a habit of only sleeping 6 hours a night, I could be so much more productive in life. Either that or start playing Half Life 2 (Which I bought, but haven’t played yet).
A couple hours of work left, and then we’re driving an hour away to the nearest Dunkin Donut’s. It’s kind of ironic that the one night I don’t need a cup of coffee, we’re going to go get it. It will be fun though.

Two days and four more papers to go. Then this module will be over.
It’s been fun, but I am tired.
Peace.
