Jury duty sucks. I know that it is necessary for our legal system to work, but it still sucks. I had to get up at 6:30am, drive with my dad to the government center, and sit and sit and sit. You don't even get to be compensated for being there (though I'm not working right now), and have to take a day out of your week just to sit there. I didn't even get called, I just at there waiting. The saddest thing though, was that during the whole thing and after coming home, I'm so tired. All I did was sit and do nothing. So I get home and do nothing because I'm tired from not doing anything. Darn government.

Well I am so happy to final be done with this semester. Finals were a pain, and I didn't do very well in my classes overall this semster. Alas, now it is over, at least for three weeks. I plan to spend a lot of time playing video games, playing music, and snowboarding. Hit me up for any of those.

Restore to me the joy of my salvation,
and grant me a willing spirit to sustain me. Psalm 51:12

I would like to think that I'm not the only one who waits until the last minute to do every single assignment. I hope that there are others out there who share in my struggle to start work in advance. Case in point: it's now 11:15Pm, and I have an entire 8 page paper due in the morning.

Oh yeah I forgot, I recorded a whole CD in one night a while back. It's pretty awful, but check it out anyways: www.toddthemoose.com

Let me know if you get this feeling too. It's that feeling of being awake for 20 hours, pretending to study, and being loaded on caffeine. It's that feeling of papers needed to be done, and projects to be finished. That feeling of stress and freaking out that you won't be able to do all you need to, to do well, and sometimes just pass a class. It's that feeling of running on so much caffeine and so little sleep, that you can actually feel your body deteriorating. Well that’s kind of how I feel right now.
