Snow


Looks as though winter is finally upon us. As I was waiting for this train to pass I noticed that there was some snow coming down. Get ready for everything to get and stay cold.

Back to Classes


What a wonderful way to start going back to classes. I sleep in past my alarm and wake up 15 minutes after class has started. Hurry up and get to class ASAP. Once I get there I see that the lights are off and no one in the class. I look at the board and find out I get to go back and curl up in my warm bed.

and there was Light


I now decree Christmas season can officially begin. Thanksgiving is over and trees are going up. My mom loves the lights on her house. I'm glad to know that I somehow managed to get out of helping put them up this year. You can finally start to sense the excitement in the air. Its getting colder and lights are starting to light up the night.

Mad Anthony's


Well it is getting close for me to head back to school. So I thought it would be good if I actually spent some time with my family. So today we had lunch together. And then went to the 5 o'clock church service, followed by a family trip to the mall. It was pretty great. The 4 of us and the baby actually held up an entire half the the mall. We had a ton of people piled up, walking slowly behind us.





The "dad" is checking to see if Zoey likes lemons. We are such bad people, we did it twice just to take a video.

Black Friday


What better way to celebrate Thanksgiving than to stay up all night and then all day in lines and shopping, Right? So many people can't be wrong can they. So, where did I go to make the most of this fun filled, door buster morning? Well, I went to JCPenny and got a Long Sleeve Shirt. I spent the rest of the day roaming the state. Made a stop at Olive Garden and watched another movie. Towards the end of the evening a couple of us went to this used book store to check it out. When we arrived there we were told that they where having a buy one get one sale. Quite possibly my favorite store the entire day.

Home


It sure is wonderful coming home to my own room. It is even better with fresh sheets and being clean. What a fabulous way to start a 6 day weekend.

Going home


It is getting close to time to feast at home now. Just a few days away till the festivities begin. Its time to get packed and drive a couple hours home. I was ready to leave, and when I was checking the stuff I was bringing with me I realized that I had not packed any pants or shorts. After quickly packing some final things I drove the 3 hours back North to the colder Indiana weather.

Service


What a glorious way to start a Saturday. Going to a church and helping to set up a nativity scene. We didn't build it, but we did assemble it from the ground up. Took quite a long to do as well. Along with this we painted the stands that will be used. We used spray paint in a basement. Once we were done there was a definite haze which was probably toxic.

Dessert


Whats the best way to finish off dinner? Easy Sugar. So what was did I eat. Since you asked so nicely: Vanilla Wafers and Vanilla Frosting. A wonderful combination. Nothing says comfort like a thousand grams of sugar in one bite.

Falling Up


The other day I noticed something strange with my back tire. So, I looked at it and saw nothing wrong. After some more riding and really working my bike i was sure something was up. Well, today I check my bike's back wheel and find a bolt completely loose. Which explains why I was hearing the tire rubbing against metal. Thankfully both tires weren't loose or I may have crashed horrendously.

Rain


Such a disgusting day outside. Cold, rainy and cloudy all day. We were blessed with great weather last week and now it is time to get back into the awful season were they Sun will be hiding for months at a time. I should have just stayed inside.

Good question


This looked like a very interesting book. Had an interesting subject and I really thought it would be jam packed with good tidbits to know. I was unable to follow the book though, I didn't like the way the author organized the material. So after about half hour of reading I choice to stop reading it. I will just have to get old on my own without knowing how to deal with it.

Laundry


Sheet changing day, got to love it! Not much is better than getting into bed with fresh sheets. I also threw in my shoes to get washed to make some people happy. For some reason they didn't like it when they could smell my shoes from 30 feet away.

Cold to the Bones.


This is the home that my group built. It was cozy and and kept me warm, slightly. I was able to get about 3 hours of sleep before the cold got to me and I couldn't sleep any longer. I spent the remaining for hours by a nice and toasty fire barrel, absorbing tons of smoke.

Reality Check


Today was the beginning of an overnight event. The goal is bring awareness to homelessness and take away some of the stereotypes that come along with it. You are also able to stay the night in a cardboard house you have built (Some brought tents...Lame).

Cravings


So glad I spent so much on food the other night. I decided to make brownies and have some ice cream today. I am so glad that I am capable of making wonderful deliciousness whenever I want. Wonder when I'm going to make the cake...

Veterans day


Not a whole lot going on today. I was the first to wish my brother a Happy Birthday though, which was kind of cool. At least it was beautiful outside, 70 and sunny in the middle of November.

Paper


Had a 5 page paper that was due today. Thankfully I started early and didn't have to stay up super late to get it done on time. I even managed to get 3 hours of sleep before I had to go to class and turn it in.

Competition


Once again a very uneventful day. So gas prices everywhere seem to go up at same time and by about the same price. So glad that competition is doing its job and making prices where they should be.

Clumsy


Everybody is clumsy at some point in their life, just some more than others. Today on my way to class I was being very uncaring of others and just trying to get there asap. In doing so I managed to crash my bike from riding too close to a 1" curb. I fell right in front of about 3 people and scraped the left side of my body in a couple places. Luckily I knew none of them and quickly got right back on my back and acted as though nothing had happened.

Going Green?


I think not!! So much for Orange, Blank and Green. I've been noticing a lot of trees being carefully mutilated around campus lately. Quite a few of trees that I personally have climbed have lost a branch or two. This is very upsetting and needs to be stopped. I can't stand this blatant disregard for nature.

Annoyances


Everyone has their pet peeves and things that annoy the be-jesus out of them. For some people its big things and others it is the minor details. Today I decided to do something about one of those minor details that I had. My mouse has been being silly, and double clicking when I only clicked once. So, I took it apart and tried to fix it. Thankfully I didn't break anything, but alas I was unable to do anything to help.

Remember, remember


To honor Guy Fawkes and the awesomeness of his terrorist plot. I decided to watch V for Vendetta with another friend to finish of this fantastic Friday.




Remember remember the fifth of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I see no reason why gunpowder, treason
Should ever be forgot...

Finished!!


After about 3 weeks of working on the lab, I'm finally done! This is the finished product. Works perfectly. I know, I should have taken the picture while it was connected, but sometimes a person just forgets these things. I'll try better next time.

Neglect?


Okay this is just getting out of hand. It is has been about a month since anyone besides me has cleaned any dishes. Is it just neglect? Forgetfulness? Maybe they just don't give any horse excrement.

Groceries


Sometimes you only need to get 1 item at the store. Other times you just grab everything that is in sight. But at least this time, the price came out very nicely.

Hairy


Right now I am currently trying to grow out my hair. It has been a very slow process. Seems like it should have grown out much more than it has. But nothing I can do about it thought. I have also been growing out my facial hair, mostly just to see what it looks like. I think that it is coming along very well. Maybe I can even get it styled soon.

Road Hog


So I went to my night class today for some extra time to work on a lab. It is the most time consuming one I've had so far. After a few hours I left and came across there 2 semis taking up the entire highway. They had a stale-mate for the entire length that I was on the road, making for a drastically longer travel time.
