I think I'll talk about the positives first today.

1) easy mind-mapping in english

2) easy note-taking in world history

3) whooped ass in chemistry's energy debates

4) literally falling ontop of "dolphin guy"

5) that entire discussion about chocolate

6) not touching my selfportrait

7) I am now an official US citizen

Funny thing to note 'bout #7. On your citizenship paper they write down your basic measurements: height, weight, eye and hair color, etc. But when I got back the final certificate, it said that I weighed 240lbs. ^_^ I'm sooo glad I lost all that weight.

Now for the negatives.

1) still wracked with guilt over yelling at barto last night

2) I owe Matt a grand total of three from today alone

3) almost made sis cry during the wait for our citizenship papers... which was strangely enough followed by a half-hour "game of rock, paper, scissors"/ "lesson in psychology." Better not to ask.

4) Might have insulted Sarah a tad. I tend to be doing that a lot recently. Could be the fact that now that I'm nearing Confirmation I feel that it is my duty to myself to reaffirm my position as a supposed Catholic. It's not that I don't respect those teachings, just that I'm still surveying other religions to see what I can obtain and setting my feet firmly in that one path would leave walking down a rather narrow hallway.

But don't worry Sarah, I'm not ticked at all. I just have to learn how to be able to talk about those kinds of things in public without getting defensive. Blame years of conditioning where whenever I've had to speak up it's always to oppose the jagged words and accusations of others.

5) I wasted a space by forgetting what I was going to put here. Oops.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go die now. Just spent the last four hours infront of the computer screen working on my research paper, revising my science fair paper, and revising/rewriting the consitution for APC. Frankly, my fingers are ready to die as well.

G'night.
