Well I've been yelled at by a few people because yesterday marked one month since my last update. So for all of you who actually care, here is a bit about today.

A few days ago I got invited to attend a TKD tournament which was going to be held on Saturday (today). I agreed, perhaps foolishly, and set about the task of learning my form. What I also found out last minute (like this morning) was that I had to memorize the proper way to bow into the ring, what to say to the judges, how to attend ready stance, ect ect.... long story short I definately forgot and messed up before I even got to start my form.

So anyway, I stayed up most of the night practicing, and decided sleeping for only 1 or 2 hours was pointless so I just read until it was 8:00. At 8:30 we left in a large car pool for a two hour drive to JMU (James Madison University). I competed along with all the other white, orange, and yellow belts. In the end I placed 2nd in forms, not bad considering I had no idea what I was doing lol.

VT and JMU made up most of the competitors, although there were a few scattered particpants (like the only kid who beat me). For the most part VT kicked ass, taking 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in most of the sparring divissions. When everone was done we all went out to eat together and began the long drive home.

Friday I saw home for the first time since college started! Oddly it didn't quite feel like the same "home" anymore. Not at first anyway, but by the end of the vacation I was starting to miss it already.

It was awesome to see people from work again, even if we ended up watching a football game I didn't really care much about. Bowling with Winston and Ann was great, even though I only won two out of three games. I think the important thing is that Winston didn't win a single one. Getting sick sucked, I still blame Drew for that, but I'm starting to feel a bit better at least. Breakfast with Kat was fun, thanks for showing me what a cube of oatmeal tastes like. (Mental Note: Appletree is closed on Mondays). And I finally got to see Serenity! Wow that was awesome...I'm not gonna say much in case someone hasn't seen it yet.

Also got to see much of the family together which was a first in awhile. People came over for my 19th, and I got to see others through out the weekend as well. I also got my first hair cut in almost three months...that feels good.

Of course, as fast as it came it ended. I miss you guys already! Looking forward to coming back on Thanksgiving.

Ok so Friday was kinda of bland. Had no classes so I got to catch up on some studying and whatnot. Friday night I finally agreed to go out with Justin and Clinger. Charlotte and two other guys came out with us also. The six of us spent quite some time wandering around socializing until we finally found a party to hit. As it turns out I ended up spending 20 minutes or so there before I started to get a sick feeling from the smell of it all. I told them thanks for a "fun time" and headed out on my own. Wandering around the streets of Blacksburg at 1:00 is kind of fun in and of itself. Got to see a lot of humorous things, including a drunk kid trying to pick a fight with me.When he did swing to try and punch me I evaded and shoved him to the ground. By the time he actually got up I had already walked off. I hope he didn't take it out on someone else. The bus ride home was kind of fun too. Lots of drunken people screaming cheers for the Hokies and dissing Ohio (who we were playing in Football on Saturday).

Saturday was sort of interesting also. I went to the football game with Justin. The two of us were the only ones who got lucky enough to randomly recieve free tickets. I'm not usually into Football and I even offered my ticket to Clinger, although I did it in a way that he ended up turning it down lol. He went to watch the game with Charlotte on tv instead. Funny thing is the game wasn't on tv lol. Justin and I sat together. Actually we stood, all the students were standing and hollering the whole time. Anyway like I said, I'm usually not that into Football but it was kind of fun cheering as we crushed Ohio 45 - 0. Everyone around screaming together and high fiving complete strangers whenever the Hokies intercepted a poorly passed ball thrown by Ohio...it was a little fun. That leaves us undefeated at 3 - 0 and puts us in 4th place in the AP. Saturday night they all went out partying again but I decided I'm back to passing on those oportunities. I was still on the computer in the morning after Drew went to sleep but I couldn't help but laugh a little when the fire alarm went off at 5:30. After standing outside for 15 minutes or so he went back in and to sleep again. I finished typing up some stuff and read until 7:00 or so.

Long boring entry? Oops I'm sorry...

So due to a funeral that one of my professors was attending I had a little more freetime today than I'm used too. There was a blood drive at the Student Center and it's been almost 6 months since my last donation which is weird for me, so I stopped in to donate. When I got back I tried doing my Calculus homework and realized that a combination of light headedness and Calc wasn't helping anything, so I decided to give it up for a little while...

So VaTech had their first football game this year. It was an away game but everyone watched it on TV. Everyone but me of course. I knew when it was over because thousands of drunk screaming kids ran outside hollering. That's when I knew we won lol, I think Justin wants to get my lynched for not watching the game. Clinger is pissed also, oh well. When we went out to get food at 11:30ish there were a bunch of kids jumped and screaming on the drill field, and countless people driving around town honking and yelling. If this was an away game I'm curious what a home game will be like...

First day of Hempfield High School today! Good luck all you suckers...er...scholars...

I found the mailroom and got all of my mail. (had way more than I expected considering it hasn't even been two weeks yet)

In English we were asked a question that we had to answer with one sentence or less. "Identity: Who are you?" How do you think you'd answer that? We weren't given time to think, just had to answer off the top of our heads. I think that's what made it interesting. It forces you to say the first thing that comes to your mind which is usually what subconsiously is most important to you.

My answer you ask? "A lost little boy searching for my absolution." haha, good stuff.

Well my first week of classes is over and the weekend is winding down all to soon. I find myself faced with a lot of reading left to do (but at least I finished both of the tests I had to get done).

Justin and Clinger picked Liz and two of her friends up yesterday so they could come down here and hang out for the day. I had to pass on going to party with them because I wasn't feeling so great yesterday, well combination of that and semi-avoiding certain situations. As it turns out they never made it to the party anyway, just hung out at Justin's room for awhile and eventually headed back to Roanoke. I think it was something like 5am when Clinger got back this morning. He was amazed I was still awake playing EQ, (Not sure why he was surprised though lol). Oh and we had two fire drills, one around 4 in the afternoon, and another at 2am, that was crazy.

Sunday I have no major plans other than to catch up with the reading I have to do for Chem, Calc, English, PS, and everything other bloody class I'm taking...so...leave me a message, I'll get back to you soon.

Finished up my classes for the week, (Yeah for no classes on Fridays ). Kicked the soccer ball around with Drew, Justin, and a couple of girls for awhile. I have no idea who they were but Justin invited them over no doubt for the chance to flirt. The two of them went with Drew and him to Dairy Queen, but I decided to pass. I have trouble finding interest anymore, figured two and two was a better number, they'll have more fun. I think Drew is more interested than I am.

I'm kind of tired anyway, didn't get to sleep until something like 4:30 am this morning. And before you yell at me I wasn't playing EQ or any other video games! Got off the computer around 1:30 to finish some reading for English but I couldn't quite focus. Had to go run, it's my favorite way to relieve stress. Writing is nice but running is the best, just to feel like I'm getting away and really free outside. Anyway I got back to my room around 3:30 and had to go shower and stuff because...well if you've ever run for over and hour you understand. So yeah...that's my excuse. Had to get up early in the morning to finish the reading to, so yeah I'm tired. On the bright side I have no more classes till Monday! Still have online homework due on Friday and Sunday though so I do have to work a little bit at least.

Oh well, I'm off to read for...well just about every class I'm in...lots of reading...catch ya later,
