Even Moses couldn't stop this flood

I went camping with my scout troop this weekend. Friday It started off on the wrong foot. I went to my car and noticed I had left the lights on. I called my dad and told him what happened, he told me he couldn't pick me up so I got all my gear together and hiked it all the way to the scout room in town. It was only 2 miles, but still, I felt like a hobo. And I think everyone that looked at me thought I was. It was raining while I hiked to the room, it rained all weekend. In between raining, it rained. Everybody was cold and wet. Then the scoutmaster wanted me to lead a hike in the rain. So I took the new scouts and the adults on a small hike lasting about 5 miles. It wasn't that bad, if it was sunny we would have done about 8-10.
So I get back today more tired than I should be from sleeping in water all weekend. And I start to do my homework. Well let me give you the schedule of events for this week, oh and remember this is finals week for me. My first one is friday:

Chemistry- Final is on friday, girl in my study group want to study after classes every day this week to be ready for the final. I have all my quizzes (12) and the answer keys that the teacher provided for us, and the 3 exams. I hae to look at those by friday.

Creative Writing- We have to have 20 pages or more of poetry and fiction done by wednesday. I have more than 20 pages, but 2 of the stories I haven't had time to edit yet. Then we have to have a place were we want to send our stuff to get published ready to go by that day also. We also have to have all of our journal assignments done out of 2 books. She has said that she will accept them on monday the 8th as well. but that might not help anyways. read on kind reader.

Holocaust fimlms class- last class is on wednesday. Have to have our final typed up and be ready to hand in on that day also. Wont be too hard, a couple of pages I can get done in about an hour.

Biology of Woman- has been a thorn in my arse the whole semester. No offense intended ladies! I am learned more about the female body then 10 common men this semster. I have sent in the assignment that was due today. We have a final test that is worth like 63 points. Doesn't sound much does it? Well it covers 4 lectures and their guides that go with them. the last 2 guides are 13 pages and 15 pages. I think that might be due this coming sunday. She hasn't released it yet. Then with our powerpoint presentations that we made and the guides get evaluted by 3 people in our groups that were assigned. I have to evaluate the 3 other people and ask them 2-3 questions about there presentation. They also have to ask me 2-3 questions and I have to answer those as well. All that crap has to be finalized by sunday and sent in to her. She has repeadedly said that there will be no exceptions.

Again on Sunday my brother is getting his Eagle scout award. Its really great, now all three of us brothers are Eagle Scouts. And the first ones in our troop to have three brothers be Eagle scouts. But getting back to the story, his court of honor is from 12-2 my dad said. So make it around 3 or 4 because some of the extended family will be there as well. My dad also wants me to give a speech about my brother mike. It'll be a funny one alright. It will never top my other brothers though, I really reemed him a good one that time. But again, it's just another thing to add to the list. But there is good news on this long walk. Monday for the final in our creative writing class we are supposed to bring food and/or drinks for a little party. We are also reading off something to the class that day as well. Then on May 11th I graduate. I will probably be way to burned out that day, But I qill be happy. Ok enough of the chit chat, I have to get plugging away or I will drown in this great deluge. I might be able to post later to tel you guys what happened so far. Later

Ok seriously this time

I really fixed the comment thing. All with the help of Dawn. Yes thank you dawn for your help it is much appreciated. I hate spelling. Oh well back to drinking and playing loud punk rock to annoy my roomates and neighbors. enjoy all

I'm graduatig bitch

I will graduate may 11th. This is the last day for me at Inver Hills Community College. It has been too long. I think that day or one of the next days I am going to get roaring drunk, I mean roaring drunk. I fixed the comments thing so leave some, so I know people are reading this lol. Things have changed in my life. When I graduated from high school it was weird not going to class everyday and seeing all the friends I have had for my whole life. Now I am graduating from college and hopefully going to the U of M in the fall. This was a good experience and am almost sorry it has to end. But life goes on, so I do too. I have so many things I have to look forward too, mainly my road trip with my brother to Washington state the first week of june. Oh I just remembered I have a cuban cigar stowed away, so that will go with graduation night. Wow it still surprises me I will not go there anymore. Well I am going to go have a pint of Guinness or two and go finish up my work for school. Slainte`

I am Spartacus

Yesterday was among one of my great days at work. Yesterday I caught a shoplifter red handed. This guy had tried to steal from us before. I was walking around the store to see if anybody needed any help. I saw this guy round a corner in the kids non-fiction section. So I went ahead a bay and then went to the otherside of the bay he was in. I slowed down to hear if he was doing anything, and sure enough he was. I rounded the corner really fast and caught the guy with 3 hardcovers in his hand, he also had a Marshell Fields bag filled with harcovers (religous ones even). Then it was like and eternity. I stared at him, and he stared at me. It was like that for at least 15 deathly silent seconds. Then this is what happened next: "Sir, this is what we're going to do; We are going to go up to the front desk and call security". Then he responded "I wasn't stealing, I was just going to go up front and pay for these". Then I told him "Okay then, I am going to take this bag and we are going to go up to the front so you can pay for those books". I had him walk in front of me, then he set the books on a shelf and took off. I would have gone after him, but he could of had a pistol or a blade hidden and that would have not done me any good. We called security and then had an officer come into our store. The officer asked how many books and how much money was it worth. It was like 10 or 12 hardocvers and like 296 dollars worth of books. he said it was a felony. So I gave him a description of the guy. After that I bought a new harmonica, and little instruction book. Well I have to go do the rest of my homework and studying for finals. Later.

They say If you dont want to be found, move to North Dakota

Well I got a letter from my bank in the mail coouple days ago. It says that my loan application to get a new car got denied. From what I read, it was because of my dad, he was the co-signer for it. The letter said he was late on some kind of a payment in the past. Doesn't matter though it wasn't really his fault. It said to put what other extra expenses you have so I put down my monthly tuiton. It ends after May, but yeah I think that got me shot down too. So my dad called around and checked on Jeff Belzers on some cars. They said they have a new Chevy Cobalt, and for first time buyers they have really good lease packages. Like no money down, but the payments were killer. 230 a month for a 48 month lease. I couldn't swing that, come on i'm a pour college student living away from home. Oh well If I dont get into the U of M, that means I can get a second job and save up for a new car. I would just apply for the spring semester also.
So far this week end I have just done homework and studied. I have so much crap I have to have done, before school gets out. Here is a list: Finish up writing for Creative writing class (1 more 2-page paper, and probably more more poem for good measure), Write up final for Holocaust films class, Biology: start and finish powerpooint presentation, study 3 lecture and there guides that go with them, study for the quiz on those lecture guides, then do assignment for Biology, Then got to study for one more quiz in chemistry, and study for the final exam. It's comprehensive, I have all my quizzes and tests so I can just study from them. I am gradutaing from Inver Hills this semester. After way too long of being there I am finally done. I cant wait for summer and my road trip, it's gonna be reall bitchin'. Well ui have to get ready for work. Later

Pitching a Tent

I bought a new tent today. It's a 3 person, 3 season tent. It's made by Jeep (the car manufacturer0. Origanlly it was 130 dollars but I got it for 50 bucks. I go tit at Dick's sporting goods in the mall. It has an all encompasing rain fly and a sky light in it as well. I am so psyched to camping with my scout troop in 2 weeks. Then after that I am going out west with my brother to Washington state. So I will use it there as well. 2 days ago I went out to the mall and got some new shoes. They're Etnies and the color is black. Well I am going to go to sleep, cause I have'nt really had a good night sleep since, well, last july. later gators

An important message

poop

Oh Danny Boy

Well he got the call. He's heading to Iraq. I'm talking about my friend Dan Heintz. we meet in scouts and have been friends ever since. He goes to scout meetings when ever there isn't school for him in mankato. He also comes on all the campouts he can. He signed up in the national guard as soon as he turned 18. He is a Cavalry scout. That's were they go behind enemy lines and scout the enemy positons. He told me that he would probably be a truck commander or a gunner. He's going to be in a humvee running security for convoys he tells me. Also that he might be part of a Quick reaction force or something like that. Basically he told me that when shit starts to happen he'll probably be there. Well I hope he invests in some Kevlar stock before he leaves. He also told me that instead of the standard 6 months desert training, they are only getting 2 months. Stating that they can get everything learned in 2 months. Well I'll be sending him books upon books to him over there. He said he'd really like that. Well Dan I hope you stay safe over there and get home
A SAP. When you do get home we'll play with some airsoft guns and and go get liquored up pretty good at a nice pub.

I'm going to throw a coup at Barnes and Noble

Stupid Barnes and Noble. We now have to follow what B&n does as way of the store operations. After my store manager came back from a meeting in chicago she told us we are going to do this thing called Internal Store Operations (ISO). We have to follow what B&N does as: shelving, recieveing, zoning, Returns, and bunch of other useless crap. This is going to generate a whole bunch of paperwork that doesn't make sense and just eats up time and wastes paper. For example: After I zone a bay of books(scan a book with our ray gun, if it beeps it gets returned), I have to sign off on a sheet of paper saying I got let's say bay 23, rows 1-6 done. Since I am a key holder I have to get certified on how to do my job. I have been doing it close to 2 years now without being certified. This is the biggest load of shit I have ever recieved from B&N. This was mean't for a store the size of B&N, our store is way smaller compared to them. They want us to get more work done, with less people, and they won't let alot us enough hours to get all of this junk done. Oh well, I have to roll with the times.

My plan of attack

I just got done with a heavy week of school and work. I worked every night this past week. Blah! I stopped a major theft from our store. A guy was trying to steal like 100's of dollars of books by stuffing them on the back wall and then while were not looking stuff them in a Marshell Feilds bag. Then after a grueling 3-hour chemistry lecture, my base group got together and worked on our poster topic for the class. Then on friday my base group and I worked on some homework at Caribou coffee. Then today I work on my biology lecture and guide that goes with it for about 3 hours and only getting half done. Then I went to St. Thomas to watch my brother run in his track meet. Tomorrow I have to finish the other half to the lecture guide cause I have to take an online test which I get to use the guide by midnight tomorrow night. Then following that I have to start working on my powerpoint presentation for my online biology class. Plus studying for my chem quiz and have to finish a homework asignment by wednesday. Aw crap I totally forgot about all of the shit I have to do for my creative writing class. I have to have 20 pages of poetry and fiction done ( I have around 13 or 14), have to have 2 creative papers that have to have a length of 2-4 pages. Holy crap!!!! After getting through this hellish semester I better get into the U of M. I think another can of Miller guneine draft followed buy a pint of Guinness is in order. Later people.
