I'm in Wyoming right mow, testing the wireless internet browser function on my PSP, and the text entry is like typing on a cell phone. I hate it, but I think that I'm getting used to it. I even took the time to capitalize and punctuate!

So it was cold tonight at work. Bringing in carts was kinda fun out in the mist of the near-freezing night.
The Olympic bobsledders move quite quick. Ending times of 129 kph (about 80 mph) just blow my mind away. I didn't know that they could move that fast.
Wendy's now has a chicken sandwich for 99 cents. I might start eating there instead of McDonalds. There is one in the "shopping centre" that my work is located in, and one on the route from work to my house. Their commercial had a unicorn in it. Hah, unicorns...just lovely. I think it gave me superpowers or wooddavers everywhere.

So I just got off from school about an hour and a half ago, and I've got about seven ounces of Hershey's Kiss disintegrating in my stomach right now, so I don't know whether I'm feeling good or bad right now...but let me tell all of you kiddies about it.
I started out with my usual morning routine of waking up and getting out of bed sometime after 7A and before 7:30A only to rush a shower, dress, and brush before moving out the front door at about 8:10A and getting to school at about 8:20A or 8:25A. From there, I went straight to my Art I classroom to start on some coloring worksheet that combines the color of pencil and the blurring effect of water. I didn't get much done on that before the bell, or buzzer as I would more correctly label it, beckoned me to the wonderous Calculus, where I worked on a test about basic integrals and integrals with minimum and maximum bounds. That consumed the whole class time, at least for me and a few others. I felt kinda scatter-brained and out of focus at the begining and really only found my concentration at about halfway through the class. But I managed to get it done with only about one and a third of the problems in question, but with the way I tend to go about testing, I could have even more wrong, and probably will. Oh, darn. So after Calc, I wisked off to Economics where we watched a video on the top ten selling televised products that seemed revolutionary, or at least just wierd enough to have at least some half practical use and enough facination factor or visual appeal to attract a large crowd of idiots looking for a quick buy. Unsuprisingly enough, my joking guess that Chia Pets would make it on the top ten list turned out to be true. Number one. Wow. Then the rest of the period, about fourty-five minutes to an hour, were left vacant as of actual classwork. I did try to finish some artwork, but not to much avail. Hmmm... Later, I find myself in Personal Finance, a class where I pretty much have only found myself learning about how to write checks, the dangers of credit, and the rewards of savings and budgets. You know, the stuff that I've already talked about with my parents several years before I decided to take this "class," which at the time of selection, seemed to be a good idea considering that I would be relocating to college in about six months and would be on a tight budget between all the enormous costs of college, the hope of gaming, and all the ramen I could ever want. I also only make five dollars and fifty cents an hour at Albertson's as a bagger/cart retrievalist/trashman/bathroom cleaner. But the class isn't very informative for what I already know. So I just sit at my desk viewing moving pictures on my PSP, sometimes with others who also want some entertainment, or those who just are facinated with the look and capability of the awesome PSP. Today I got to watch Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. That's a really good movie, just in case you didn't know or care. But there's not much more to say about that class. I don't know what happened in the passing period afterwards, but I seemed to get a chill or shock of some sort that ran all through my spine, and I got a crazy, sudden bust of energy that made me feel much better and more energized than I was earlier. I can walk fast. Lunch was the same as always. I waited in the burger line for my "Spicy Chicken Sandwich" in my sad attempt to recreate my favorite McDonald's meal, the Hot and Spicy McChicken Sandwich, which is no longer Hot and Spicy there, by adding lettice and mayo. Yeah, I might as well cease trying. It doesn't get much better, and I don't mean that it's good to start out with. After the chicken and fries-on-a-fork, I moved on to Computer Science III. I had my Soduko Checker program to finish. While all the other kids, about half of which are probably not finished on the program, and a few others decided to borrow and view a copy of Apocolypse Now on one of the computers. Mitchell was cool with it as long as he wasn't the one to show it. From what I could hear of the film (that was not really on film), if you are alright with the unedited present day non-Christian rap music, then you should be fine watching this movie. Yes, they have Christian rap. I have a coworker/friend to thank for that discovery. So I ended up successfully completing my program with only some great frustration and long periods of blankly staring at the screen. I only ended up changing one or two minor things that kept the program from running as it should. if( board[cc][ca] == board[ca][cb] ... ) should've been if( board[ca][cc] == board[ca][cb] ... ). That's what I get for copying and pasting. I'm going to start stopping that. Start stopping. What a paradox of terms. Anyway, with the twenty minutes of spare time I had before school let out, I decided to practice and perfect my Age of Empires II Demo skills for the next time I had opponents in that class. The thing is that right now, I'm not bad. I'm just slow. With a little more practice, however, I would seriously pwn all the nubs that got in my way. That was the reason I lost the last two matches I had. But that seems like a game that I could really be good at.
So now I find myself at home about to snag another Diet Dr. Pepper from the fridge in my attempt to rid myself of all the free soda pop I got from work. I'm also jamming to Duran Duran. Groovy. I'd like to wrap this blo-cough...journal entry up soon. It only took me about thirty minutes, off-and-on, to get this far. Hmmm...no wonder I lose at AoE... I really like elipsis. Hahahahumm...
Peace my friends. Stay sober and drug free!

I have school, part-time job and sleep to blame for my lack of availability. Dang.
I'm currently in the middle of compiling a short report on the IBM Corporation for Economics class, then I think I'll move on to solving my Sudoku for Computer Science, then I might find myself on the floor several hours from now with morning light in my eyes. Then it's time to rush preparations for the day and my obituary, for whatever reason, for Englilsh, then move on to school only to find myself in Drafting hunched over some giant sheet of paper composing multiple views of something called a "Safety Key," something that I will most likely never use if I even end up finishing the obscure shape. And then it's off to Calculus to turn in nothing as homework goes, then try to guess at the answers to the problems on the quiz. But hey, at least I'll get to watch The Sandlot on my contraband PSP in Personal Finance and create a Sudoku solver in Computer Science. And then it's the CSC to attend. And I also don't have to work. So I should be able to get this thing going kinda crazy cool. Maybe I'll make myself free for AIM chat. Screen name is Vaniix. More on that later.
So I guess that somewheres in theres it balances out. Hah, and I just realized how emo I am if I try writing this stuff and think that people will read it. Hah.
Peace my friends.
