Aye chiwowa!

Took us about an hour or an hour and a half to batter ourselves through the first stress analysis problem. It was rather simple, to be honest, but there were some difficulties that we didn't account for. And we're supposed to be smart or something like that.

Ok, other things I've done today: I've eaten. Its a good sign of me returning to normal (I couldn't eat at all yesterday and felt sick, but forced myself to have a little something here and there to keep up my strength and concentration). So, aye, my idiocy is over. It came with a cost, a heavy cost. But nothing comes without having to pay for it. Nothing is free. I can also deal with the consequences of my stupidity: my fault, my responsibility to accept what comes and try to clean up my mess.

I've got one more stress analysis problem to do for today...they're actually interesting problems, just REALLY time consuming. Then I've got to read a book. Then I've got to write a 5 page paper on said book.

I also have to write up my writings from yesterday. Going outside to get inspiration reminded me of just how much I love nature and being in it. I can't wait to go camping again and get away from civilization, even if just for a day.

Today is a busy day, but I'm feeling up to the challenge. Actually, I feel like I can conquer the world...and Ron, no, I'm not bringing my white flag...what do I look like? French?

"I wanna run away,
Never say good bye,
I want to know the truth,
Instead of wondering why,
I wanna know the answers,
NO MORE LIES,
I want to shut the door,
And open up my mind!"

--Linkin' Park, "Run Away", fits my mood, great song, even if it didn't :-P.

Next up: "The Gauntlet" by the Dropkick Murphys. My favorite song. It can get my blood pumping no matter what.

Oh, I nearly forgot: my cousin has recovered!!! Maybe not completely, but he's out of danger, and stable, so he's not in the ICU anymore :-).
