A post on posting

I am fairly certain that I post more often when under duress. Looking at the numbers of posts I've posted in the history of my short career on the internet so far, I can see that I have written most during finals seasons. Such as...now.

Other than this short sentiment, I have no other reason to write. I am trying to find ways to find an escape from the seemingly insurmountable amount of studying I need to do for my finance test tomorrow morning. I'd ask you to wish me luck, but I don't think I should give anyone false hope that it might help, so just don't worry about it. Pretty soon it'll all be over, and I won't have to think too much about it.

The only problem with a philosophy like that is the fact that usually grades do seem to matter. Hmm. Better get back to the books.

and so it is...

I have a new roommate. I think I already wrote about him, but he still fits in the "new" category, since he hasn't really been around that much. I'm pleased to report that he actually does exist, and I saw him again this morning.

Other than that, I have a test this week. My life is ever increasingly filled with things to do that I'm not sure I enjoy all that much. It must be that time of year.

At least it's sunny.

Another day

Tis the season...tests. Ugh. I have no more to say about that.

But the real reason I am posting this evening is mostly to let the world know that I am still alive. I ran a 5k in 23:37.87 last Saturday morning. My roommate of over a year moved out last Tuesday and I have a new one from Georgia. I am somewhat consoled in the fact that I still have an east coast boy to hang out with.

And that is my life in a nutshell at this point. I have nothing more clever or witty to say at the moment, other than the fact that my roommate Blake had a funny idea that we could launch clay pigeons and such at people across the way. The launcher's only $19.99, apparently!

That's all.

BIRTHDAY!!!!!

And so it is. I am officially 23 years of age. Not much else to say about that.

The day was good. I slept in, talked to my family, Grandpa, Grandma on the other side of the family, then took a shower. I helped film a video for our FHE group, then I floundered about for a while just enjoying the sunny day. I did some homework, wasted time on the internet, then ate dinner later. I watched the movie Fantastic Four and the Rise of the Silver Surfer with my roomie, but only after eating a dinner of burgers and cream soda from bottles.

Later I was brought doughnuts by some friends, I went and visited another apartment where I won a birthday kiss (from a real girl) by chance, and I started my laundry. Which reminds me that I need to finish it. Manuia lava le po, lo'u uo!

Last day

This is the last time. The very last time. I will never be able to do this ever again. No more will I be able to write a blog post as a 22 year old young man. From now on, starting tomorrow, I'll be 23.

But if you really want to be technical about it, I'll actually not be 23 until 11:30 pm or so tomorrow night.

Other than that, there isn't much else for me to say. Other than the fact that I have no plans but to have a nice, relaxing day tomorrow. Manuia lava le po! (which is to say "have a very fine/fortunate night" in Samoan)
