Good evening!

When I last left, I was not in a good state of affairs. Not really feeling "with it", overwhelmed, stressed, etc.

So I head down to the Campus Center and meet the usual gang there, with a very pleasant suprise--Henry came down early and him and I got to play a few really good games of pool. Though he was on a bit of an off-night. He could kick my ass anyday without trying. Gave me a few pointers on how to make english work for me. I hope he comes down next week for some pool. He also borrowed Band of Brothers from me for a couple weeks. I'll miss those DVDs.

Then I came back and worked on Dynamics--those impossible problems--and followed the tips from the TA, and nailed the bastards. I still have one to go, but it's not that hard...or so I don't think.

After doing 4 of the 5 problems, I showed up in Harrington and hung around until about 11.

I was pretty stressed, worried about stuff, etc., but when you're in the company of friends, it all gets washed away. Just wish I got to see some people more than I do.

Now I'm back, I'm thirsty, and quite sweaty. Good workout. I'm going to finish up the Dynamics due tomorrow, and see if I can get started on the practice problems assigned for today.

Life hands me a lemon every now and then. I came the realization why I'm so bummed when it happens is because I'm really fucking lucky. I have one hell of an awesome family, a roof over my head, plenty of food, clean water, have an education, good friends, money for creature comforts, etc. That's more than most people have. I'm too used to the good stuff, and that's why it hits me hard when some bad stuff happens to me. Thank God for everything He's done.

Off to work. Possibly back later.
