Tickets

Flogging Molly is playing at Coffman union at the UofM campus on friday, oct. 20th. It's going to be so awsome. I still have to see if I am off work that day or not. Not much is happening around here lately. I am still getting a barrage of studying done, and more piling up. My mom left for Boston this morning with here friend Jan. She said that they were going to try to get a tour of Fenway Park. I gave my mom my Red Sox Nation membership card so she could get a discount at the souviner store they have their. Hey, how bout that win last night for the twins. That was sure a close one. Well there's nothing else so I am off to read some and then work on my German. Schonen Tag noch!

craptaculer

I just had a cheeseburger and some fries from the UofM union. It was so gross I'm having stomach aches now. I really dont like my 20th. century Europe class. It is way too boring right now. I got in and try to take notes but end up nodding off. I think I need to go to sleep much earlier than 10 at night. Gee, 10 o'clock sounds pretty lame doesn't it. But getting up at 5:30 in the morning kind of makes that necessary. I oredered a new laptop on saturday. It should arrive either thursday or friday. This saturday I am helping a kid in my scout troop with his eagle project and possibly going out with my ex-roomates. Then on sunday, I work and then going to start writing my paper on the book "The Immoralist" by Andre` Gide. Has anyone read this? I am about half way through the book and am waiting for something to happen. Well I have to get to one of my classes that I actually like: Peoples of the American Revolution. Later.

My dads sick

My dad was complaining of stomach pain last weekend. He thought it was from some hot dogs he had eaten from kwik trip (and rightly so) but then it got continually worse. So on tuesday he went to ridges emergency room. The doc said he had a kidney stone. He also said that there was 3 stages of size 1-3, 4-6, 7-10. My dad had a 7. So today he is having surgery to get the kidney stone out. Heck right about now (10:38 a.m.) he should be having the surgery. My dad is never a fan of surgery. Last night before I went to sleep he told me that all the life insurence and all the finances and stuff are on his desk in case something is wrong. Then a little before that I was downstairs and my mom was pissed of at my grandpa for not letting her know until a couple of hours before that they were not in fact staying at my parnts camping trailor. My parents couldn't go anyways because my dad's surgery. But she said that ever since she came how from her trip last year she has been taking care of sick people whether it be her parents or other relatives, giving advice, and most recently my dad. She said that my dad was filling her in about everything. I told her that my dad wasn't very knowledgable about medical stuff and that he was scared as well. But she just kept on going on how going up to the trailer is like a stress reliever to her. I told her that I dont even have that. Then I got tired of listening to her and went to sleep. So to recap the week: It just plainly sucked. And probably will until the end of may comes next year for summer vacation. well I am going to go study some more. Bloody hell

I am so tired

I really cant remember what I did on friday. On saturday I went to work. After I got off work (4:30), I went to my buddies house because he was having a party with his family because he is heading off to Ft.Dix for training, then off to Iraq. I got home around 10. Then on sunday I had to drive all the way to Buffalo, Mn to drop off my brother at a paintball tournament. Then after that I went to work. When I got home I got a call from my brother telling me that he needed a ride home. His friends parents had a suburban with only 3 kids in the back seat, and said they didn't have "room" for him. Basically what my brother told me was they said that and then slammed the door in his face and sped off leaving him in the cold rain without a ride home. So my dad and I and my other brother went to go pick him up. We brought my other brother with and some of his stuff because he had to go back to St. Thomas. So after all that I didn't get back home again until 10 p.m. Now today directly after school, as soon as I get to the Apple Valley Transit Station I have to go to work. Then I wont get home until yes, 10p.m. So as some of you people can see that I am a bit tired. I work every weekend and monday for the rest of this month. That really really sucks ass. Oh well it could always be worse.

So many textbooks so little time

I have a lot of reading since class started. I have an official count of 12 textbooks. Only 1 is really what I would consider a regular textbookand thats German. The rest are just academic type books. I really dont know what else to call them. Also 3 of my 4 classes have online material as well. So the professer will assign us some reading that can only be found on their website. Which isn't all that bad, but still, it's more reading.
I am taking the metro valley transit bus up to the U of M every morning. I kind of like it. Downside is that I have to get up at 0530. Then leave at or a little before 6 to make it to the bus which leaves at like 0632. I dont get back to Apple Valley (transit station) until like 4 p.m. Then if I work I dont get back until close to 10 p.m. Oh well that's how it is I guess. Well my break is over, back to reading.
