Pi is Good!

Another day, more stress

noreply@blogger.com (Matrim) — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 03:26:00 +0000

So it sucks having four classes on one day. It's a stress trying to cram all of it in ni one night which I should do but i do do. *sigh* Add that to the other things going on in my life..... Yeah life is quite stressful right now. I don't know how I get anything done. Including this post. I've tried typing it like 4 times in the past few days. Plus the speech i have yet to practice and write that's due on Monday. FYI i have an big fear of speaking in front of people. That and my inability to write should make things interesting. The bad kind of interesting. *sigh*

Well nothing much has happened elsewise so I'll say goodbye.

Monday

noreply@blogger.com (Matrim) — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 21:14:00 +0000

So. Its the first monday of classes. Well i certainly have my hands full with my classes. Four of them are on MWF, and all are in a row. 8:00,9:00,10:20,11:00. My only other class in on TT at9:45. I have a lab on thursday at 1:10. I'm so glad this semester i have 12 hours of work. Yeah. Less money i have to pay at the end.

Its been pretty boring otherwise, abliet for some reason nathan wanted a freezer so his parents brought one down. There is no room. They got in in where the garbage can was but now they have to figure out where the garbage can will go.

*sigh*

But Kyle XY is back. YEAH!!!!!! Now i can finally watch it.

Insomnia

noreply@blogger.com (Matrim) — Sat, 10 Jan 2009 06:19:00 +0000

So, yeah. I've been having insomnia lately. I can't get to sleep. Hence the post this late at night. Well late for me. I'm one of those people called a morning person who like to get up at like 6:00 PM but I haven't been able to lately. It kind of makes me mad. I like waking up early. Ugh. Well off to do something till I desire to sleep.

FYI
Blasphemy by Douglas Preston is a good book!
And Rod Blagojevich was impeached!!! now if only he'd resign or get convicted.

TTY'all later

Birthday!!!!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Matrim) — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 04:07:00 +0000

Not my birthday but my sisters!!! And its not any old birthday. It's her...

21st Birthday!!!!

So we went today to a local SOS office, or as commonly called by a wrong name, the DMV, to get herself her new over 21 license. And now she gets to go on vacation, also specifically why she got her license changed. How lucky is she. I get to be stuck at home. Well I have stuff to do, well want to do, do its all good. Less than a week before I go back to college. Maybe something exciting will be going on there?

-Matrim-

Zomg! I wrote something!

noreply@blogger.com (Matrim) — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 03:21:00 +0000

So every once in a while, I get this urge to write something. Usually this urge comes with a really strong emotion. For those who know me, they can attest that I suck horribly at writing. I usually don't like what I write much. I deem it from really bad to mediocre but still bad. This piece I extremely like. So I sent it to my unofficial editor, and I await her response. Once I iron it out after I receive her feedback, I might post it.

Happy New Year!!!!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Matrim) — Thu, 01 Jan 2009 06:00:00 +0000

Have a great new year!

New Years Eve

noreply@blogger.com (Matrim) — Thu, 01 Jan 2009 02:31:00 +0000

While all of you are our partying, I'm stuck here at home with my parents since all of my close friends have plans that don't include me. Oh well. I'll just drown my sorrows, j/k, in the most wonderful thing in the world to drink. Sparkling Grape Juice! Since I'm not old enough for alcohol i wouldn't know how any of those beverages taste. That and today has been going by so slowly. *sigh*

I do though have plans tomorrow to hang out with some friends. And it will be cold. It is below freezing here right now so I'm glad i have new boots!
As a side note that only a few friends will get. Grey Badge of Courage.
So, it sounds like tomorrow will be great. And i can remember to bring my camera and actually USE it. As stated in my previous blurb, I want to use my camera so i can have more pictures of good memories. Then I can blog about things and actually have pictures to go along with it!

So y'all have a good new year.

I Need to Take More Pictures

noreply@blogger.com (Matrim) — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 05:02:00 +0000

Like the title says, I think i need to take more pictures. More stored memories.

What a long time

noreply@blogger.com (Matrim) — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 05:11:00 +0000

My my... What a long time its been. I think I'll try to post more, not that I get many readers. LOL Oh well.

Christmas went great I got 10ish books. Finished off one series and almost another. I got a coffee pot, for the semi-rare occasion that I desire coffee, as well as the stuff that goes along with it, filters,etc. I got a nice sweater. And I got a Statler Brothers CD. Happy day. I doubt that <.1% of the people who will ever read this even know who they are. FYI they are an old country/gospel group. They are my second favorite band behind Garth Brooks.

College has gone pretty well so far, 2As, an A-, and a B+. No surprise that the B+ was in my freshman tutorial, the final was a paper. Yuck. You should know how much I hate those. My next semester should be a bit more busy

Weber and Karfunkel now has a couple new members and is going to get a name change. Maybe something more original. I can't wait to hear a song with all of them.

Well, the rest of break after Christmas certainly has been interesting. Well actually these last couple days. I've been slightly depressed. So what do i do? Read slightly depressing, and good, fiction on fictionpress and fanfiction.net as well as listen to slightly depressing music. *sarcasm* How ingenious! */sarcasm* I've thinking about someone I consider my better half. We are close friends but I haven't gotten to see her/him much on breaks or have any contact with him/her while we're at college. It's complicated as to why that's the case. Not really but I'm not saying since he/she knows about this blog. You never know when a friend might stumble back upon this. If any visit. We'll basically I'm depressed since I want to see her/him. Sometimes I wish I could tell him/her how much she/he means to me. I feel incomplete without him/her. But sadly that would ruin our relationship, well its a 99.99999999999999....% chance. Well technically that actually says 100% but whatever, let's just to say the chances are slimmest to none. I don't have any feeling feelings for her/him .... I think .... maybe I'm just dependent on him/her. It was interesting, during the one time we met during thanksgiving break, she/he wanted to make sure I had actually made friends and said something along the lines of can't cling to everybody in the past. Kind of makes me feel like he/she doesn't feel the same as I do. Like I said, must be a bit dependent on her/him. It makes sense to me. I mean he/she was slightly dependent on me, albeit it was just academically, unlike my emotional one.
Random note: see if I can get Kyle to take me up flying again. FUN!
Back to my earlier discussion, ... I don't know what to think. Or do for that matter. I... oh well. Think happier thoughts!

So I'm gonna end this before I think of something else to continue with. It's already really long. TTY'all later.

Look what i made

noreply@blogger.com (Matrim) — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 03:12:00 +0000

I was browsing through the NPC with Jobs forums, and i was inspired to create this.

Do you know what it is? :P Think math.

It's been a while.

noreply@blogger.com (Matrim) — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 11:38:00 +0000

It been a while since i posted but nothing much has happened. Work will be crazy today. Its the day after the full moon. We get in some interesting people those days. I'm not joking. My truck was acting up, didn't want to start, but its been OK since that one day. The fair was last week and the demo went pretty good. One of my sisters friends got 5th place.
The AP test results came in and I got a five in Calc and a four in Bio.

Hell week at the DMV

noreply@blogger.com (Matrim) — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 00:32:00 +0000

Yeah. Its hell week at the DMV. Stupid end of the fiscal year.
Its the busiest month and everyone waits till the very end to get their licence renewal stickers. and the always come on Tuesdays and Saturdays towards the end. Wednesday is a nice day to come in. as well as Tuesday and Friday.

And i got a pic for you all from my trip flying.

To Wal-mart tomorrow to print pictures.

Flying

noreply@blogger.com (Matrim) — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 04:05:00 +0000

Yeah! Kyle finally took me up flying today and it was a blast. I forgot my camera so i borrowed him. I'm waiting for him to e-mail me the pics. It was a blast.

Kyle leaves on the 25th, two days from now. Well basically one since its just past 11. Both he and his girlfriend are going to the Air Force Academy, AFA. Lucky them. :) I hope they have lots of fun. I hope both Kyle and I have a few similar days off for thanksgiving vacation so we can do some stuff. Who know what new crazy things he will have learned. :)

I'm going to miss him a lot. We had such fun today. I think of him as my almost better other half. I so beat him in calculus. :P

Vacation!

noreply@blogger.com (Matrim) — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 01:43:00 +0000

8:43PM
Yeah so we got back from vacation and it was fun. today i also just started my new job.

7:25 PM Wendsay.
ok. So my second day was a lot slower than the first. i only did say 150 stickers today unlike yesterday's 300ish probably and the million things to do with titles. For those who don't know. I work at a secretary of states office "DMV". I do mostly renewal stickers as of now.

BTW i'll get pictures of my vacation up soon.

Graduation!

noreply@blogger.com (Matrim) — Sun, 18 May 2008 15:05:00 +0000

10:05 AM
Yeah! I am now officially out of high school! I was so nervous giving my speech but apparently you couldn't notice it. My party was pretty good and then i went out and met some friends and we talked for awhile. It was a fun night.

AP Calculus II

noreply@blogger.com (Matrim) — Wed, 07 May 2008 22:30:00 +0000

Well it wasn't as bad as a thought. I think i defiantly got a 5.

AP Calculus

noreply@blogger.com (Matrim) — Wed, 07 May 2008 00:17:00 +0000

7:17PM
The AP Calc test is tommorrow. I hope I do good. I wnat a 5.
I'm a bit nervous

Mushrooms!

noreply@blogger.com (Matrim) — Tue, 06 May 2008 02:52:00 +0000

9:53PM
This weekend was fun. I does though remind me of in the movie of The Fellowship of the Ring when the hobbits found the mushrooms. We found mostly grays and a few yellows in one spot. This weekend should be a good weekend. But in other news, the AP Calc test is in two days. The AP bio is next Monday. Wow. I looks like I'm going to be valedictorian but we won't know until after the finals. I don't want to give a speech. I hate giving speeches. Oh well.
I might also get to go flying either tomorrow or Thursday. Either doesn't matter. Though i hope Thursday just because it isn't the day before the AP Calc test but if we go then one of my friends can't go so. its quandary. But truthfully both days are fine. I'm hardly ever busy during the week. School is almost over! Yeah!
I also got a job at the SOS office in Lasalle. If you need you sticker that's probably all I'll be able to do. For a while a least, i think. Idk. i could be different than Ottawa where Marie worked last year. This year she's in Streator. Hopefully this will give me enough money to pay for miscellaneous expenses at college and a slight bit of tuition.
Well Gtg. Time to go to bed.

PS. Today sucked. Don't ask.
PSS. Go Cledus T. Judd.

Short post!

Just a short note to remind you Weber and Karfunkel, the name is currently up for grabs, posted a new song. Go listen. :)

The Fine Arts Festival

noreply@blogger.com (Matrim) — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 22:11:00 +0000

5:11 PM
http://jerrykarfunkel.blogspot.com/
So that is Karfunkel's blog. More info there.

Well today we had the fine arts festival at school and at it they had a student section where they had some students preforming and Weber and Karfunkel preformed and they were a pretty big act! They preformed a couple of good old songs. The Boxer and Here Comes The Sun. They had a break which was filled with some students playing piano. Then they got up again played Karfunkel's two original compositions. Oregon and Postman. They were great. The chorus and the band played during the festival and the cafeteria was taken over by the Spanish teacher like every other year and they had Spanish stuff in there. BTW Sangria made with Grape Juice, ginger ale and fruit slices/pieces is awesome. The art department also displayed thing the art students have made and they did face painting. It was a jam packed hour and a half.

In other news, I think I'm going to go play piano right after this and we got a set of patio furniture for our new deck finally and its pretty cool looking. Now i have something to sit in when i read.
It also has gotten pretty cool this weekend. from 50's-70's to 30's-50's. Quite a drop but we did get some rain.
I also got a CB radio from my grandfather when we cleaned out the basement of his house but it ended up not working. For some reason we didn't get any static or anything on it but the speaker did work so idk. I'm wondering if i should buy one. I'm thinking on it. So there is only 15ish days left of school. Its feels odd to graduate. Well college should be fun.
So this is a long post. It reminds me of Matt. BTW to Matt --> Do a blogcast!
I wonder what kind of errands he is running today. Probably food. He eats a lot. LOL :P :)
Well that's all for folks.

PS. Go Loony Toons.

Prom!

noreply@blogger.com (Matrim) — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 11:45:00 +0000

6:45 AM
So this last weekend was prom and it was pretty fun. The DJ was only good. He played quite a few songs with hard to dance to beats. Dinner was delicious and the best part was they had cheesecake with strawberry topping for dessert. YUM! FYI I love cheesecake. The chicken there was also delicious. My firends and I had a fun time. A bunch of my friends rented a limosines. LOL I tink its funny and a waste of money but kind of cool.

Post Prom was ok. They could of had more prizes. For post prom we had a gambling night with fake money at the school. It was fun.

Yeah for State!

noreply@blogger.com (Matrim) — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 00:04:00 +0000

7:04 PM

So we went to state for WYSE and I got 5th in Biology and Hannah got 6th in Bio in the 300 division. Yeah for us. We placed 5th and 6th out of 450 kids.

I don't want to go to school tomorrow.

One flew east, one flew west....

Well tonight i have to write up and finish my essay that i forgot to do on One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. So we had some prompts and i chose this one.

In what ways does McMurphy fit his role as a Christ figure? Is he a conventional hero?

So i think this one should be easy to do and i already have a page and a half but idk how much more i can get. I hate analysis essays.
Well gtg. Back to my essay.

Class Trip

noreply@blogger.com (Matrim) — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 02:52:00 +0000

9:52 PM
So our class trip is next week and we get to see the Blue Man group in Chicago. I so would have rather gone to Starved Rock but you get what you get. I get out of school that day. I also get to be gone that Monday because of State Finals for WYSE. So Weber and Karfunkel's new song should be showing up soon. He bought new equipment for recording so i can't wait to hear it.

nothing Much has happened but Matt pointed me to a cool blog. Its on my bloglist. Its called indexed. It's certainly interesting. It makes me want to make one like Matt did. Maybe I will.....? The question is on what topic though?
