Midterms are back

We got out math midterms back, and I got an 80% I thought I would have gotten 90 or higher, but I made the most STUPIDEST mistakes evahhgrr. I got 4 marks docked off, because on 4 answers, I put the decimal in the wrong place. I’m a tard. That’s okay, I’m please with my 80. So, I worked out today, and we pushed ourselves harder this time. Man, I wanted to stop on the 3rd set of runs, so I took a break, and Faron (the trainer dude) was like, “Don’t stop, don’t let me lap you” and of course, the competitiveness inside me, told me to take off and run. So I did. I love being pushed harder though, makes me feel so much better in the end. The 10lbs in each hand are starting to get lighter each day. He told me, that now I should start doing pushups. I can’t do them. Though, I haven’t tried in a while, so I don’t know. But ugh.. I really don’t want to do them :)

Matthew Good is coming to town during Mardi Gras. That’ll be awesome. I may head down, if I can get people to go. I’ve never seen him live before.

Hmm, I’m thinking of bringing in some new people to climb at the gym tomorrow. I’m also hoping to ask someone else to go ;) that’s if I can get in touch with ’em. Lets hope so. It’s so exciting. Anyway, I must go do a little homework. Later.

Wedding in Ireland?

I think it’s about time I updated my website! I’ve been pretty busy with school. Today, being a stupid ass Monday, I thought all my projects were due today, for some reason. Hey, at least I have them done now, I can start to chillax a little. I also had a mid term in Math this afternoon. I think I did pretty awesome on it. It was a very easy midterm too. I’m super stoked to get my mark back. I hope I got at least a 90% That’s what I think I got anyway. I guestimate, 104.5% heh!!

So, I was talking to my Brother, over in Ireland tonight, on the phone. Last time I talked to him was in August. I don’t really have much news to tell him, because my Mom always tells him what I’m up to, so by the time I talk to him on the phone, we have nothing to say to each other. But, I wanted to talk to him tonight. Apparently, he may postpone the wedding this July. He doesn’t know if he can afford to come over here with a soon-to-be-wife, and two children. Costly plane tickets. He also may decide to have the wedding over in Ireland, which in my opinion would be SO much more fun. I’d love to check out the place some day. 2005 may be the year to do it.

I’m saving up for a flat screen monitor. (Maybe that one, I’m not sure yet.) I haven’t really looked around. I’ve got $300 saved up. I’m pretty close to getting there. If I don’t spend my money! I’m sure a lot of my cash will be gone this week. I try to get into the climbing gym two, to three days a week. Which is like $10 a session. But yeah, my monitor goes whacko when it’s turned on for more than an hour at a time. It rings/buzzes/humms really loud and it causes crazy ass ringing in my ears if I don’t turn it off for 20 minutes or so. Which is a pain in the ass, seeing how most of my projects are due on the computer. FFTTT!

Anyhoo, time to get off this computer. Chat with you all later. Download the song, it’s really good! Bye!!

He has cancer

I’m not sure if this is the right place to vent my feelings. On a public website, where everyone I know, reads. I’ll probably regret it. But right now, I have no close friends living close to me that I can just run to their house and really talk to. I don’t really feel like doing it over the phone either. I just want to get it out now.

I went to the Real Time Cancer website today, and had a good look around. My friend Johanna will be doing the 5hr hike for RTC, and I may also join her. She’s going to check to see if there are any sponsor sheets left for me. I was reading this article and I could only get half way though it, and it hit home. It’s almost the exact same way that I found out that my Dad has cancer. I’ve never cried like that before. It’s so messed up, I’ve never been the type to cry at movies, or cry at sad stories like this. But reading Rebecca’s “Shock of Diagnosis” was so real to me. It’s how it happened to our family.

So I think I owe it to myself to do this hike, if there’s enough room. My Dad is doing okay, they removed a tumor from his bowel, in August. But the cancer spread to his liver. He’s been going to so many different types of Doctors. He only just went to the Cancer Clinic 2weeks ago, but they don’t know what to do with him yet. The Cancer DR has to talk to the Dr that did his surgery on him, before they start chemo. He’s taking all sorts of heart pills, and other pills. I don’t want to ask what they’re for. He seems to be doing fine. But how do you know for sure? He’s just like me. Hide’s his feelings. I don’t know how he’s doing! He’s lost a lot of weight since being in Hospital. He’s 6’0 tall, and weights only 138lbs. He’s put on weight since he’s been out of Hospital, which is amazing, I’m glad to see him get a little better, heh – he has to wear suspenders with his pants. But, I’m so afraid to ask what’s going to happen. Back in August, I asked my Mom if he’s going to be alright. She didn’t know the answer, which obviously would make anyone upset. Your mother telling you that she doesn’t know what the outcome will be. Ahhhhuighdk;ah. Anyway..I’m going to go to the climbing gym with Johanna tonight, and maybe talk to her about the Real Time Climb for Cancer. I haven’t been climbing hardcore in ages. I need to keep at it.
