I am an enigma. A perfect right hand middle man living safely supported on the edge. Complicatedly simple or simply complicated, that's for you to decide. I lose the games I play & win the ones I don't. I'm not here to play games. I'm here, there, everywhere. Often I like to feel as if I'm the world. Other times I want to melt into the scenery. I see myself as a familiar stranger standing along the street as life speeds by. I like strangers & love my friends. I laugh when people fall but offer a helping hand. I hate people but love working with the public. The Constitution is wrong, all men are not created equal; they should be. I believe that not everyone has the same opportunities; it's what you do with the ones that lay before you that determine who you become. I like to walk. Running is too fast; but some roses are meant to be seen & not smelled. Time is an illusion created by man. I’ll create it for those who are willing to do the same. Your birthday is important to me & hope mine is to you. I tend to give more than I receive. Respect & appreciation are key. Conversation is a gold mine; knowledge is wealth & power. My intelligence is my most prized possession, don't insult it.

Hello world. =P

Today I awoke on time but not so refreshed seeing as how I only got 5 hours or less of sleep but still ready to face the day. It was cold this morning and the proof of that was in my water pipes... they were froze. I thawed them out quickly and got my shower and was back on track in no time. I wore my silk shirt and silk dress pants today because of my Comm presentation. My drive to class was uneventful and as usual (as of lately) lo-ong. I had to park in Robertshaw which might as well be in Russia but as I pulled in so did the campus bus... that never happens, what luck... that fates were on my side today. Woohoo. I take the bus to The Oak Grove and headed towards my World Religions class. I had some time so I studied a bit for my Humanities Literature mid-term. Dr. Gibson handed back a quiz we took last class... I got a 9 out of 10. =) After that I headed to my Human Lit class and took the exam. I'm feeling really confident about it. I'm sure a got an "A" but have my eyes set on a "B" as to not have my hopes dashed if I didn't get the "A". I then headed straight to my History class and took the mid-term for that class. I think I did well on that as well. Probably not an "A" but definitely no lower than a "B". From there to Educational Psychology were we took a quiz that I bombed and studied for our mid-term which is on Thursday. That brings me to my Communications Media class, which is now my new least favorite class. He never emailed me back saying that I was not going to give my presentation today so I was over dressed for nothing. He decided to make the presentation a pass or fail assignment. That's a violation of the syllabus because it said if we missed it we would have to make it up. The syllabus also stated that today was to be designated for presentations anyway. So he changed the days without conferring with us first which is also a violation of the syllabus. That's two violations of the legal binding contract, between a student and a professor, that is the syllabus, which I have every intention on disputing because this could seriously hurt my grade. I had emailed him letting him know that I was going to miss that class because of the bad weather and he had plenty of time to email me back informing me that he changed the syllabus... and he didn't. I WILL get credit for the assignment. It was done and in the folder on time. I just didn't present it which is his fault as much as it is mine. So tomorrow I am calling the Dean of the education department to have a little chat. =)

He let the class out early, thank goodness. I walked straight to the bus stop and wouldn't you know it as I arrived so did the bus. Twice in one day with the no waiting for the bus. Woohoo. So I hop on and away we go. I noticed immediately the bus was kind of full which was odd then when we went through the light instead of turning I realized I was on the wrong bus. So Dustin went for a nice little 45 minute ride around Indiana. It was nice though. It was some good thinking and self-reflexivity time. I eventually made it back to my car after the bus dropped me (as close to my car as it was going to get) further away from where I parked than I had originally started. I figured screw it and walked the 3/4 of a mile to the car. I came home. I checked my email and chatted with Kacy a bit before taking a nap (because I had a headache) while waiting for Daniel to call.

Tomorrow is when the doctor said my test results should be back. One can only hope all is well. =\ It's Wednesday so I'm home free but who knows what tomorrow will bring. =P
