I slept like 12 hours yesterday. It was awesomeeeeeeee.

I'm going to try. I talked to a friend about it and she said she's having trouble keeping up with the schedule as well, which made me feel better because this girl is ridiculously smart and awesome at school. I think I'm just going to have to start taking time for myself each day. I haven't fenced in over a week because of circumstances out of my control, so doing that tomorrow will be a start.

I'm going to take a look at my schedule and try to reorganize it and fit in some me time. Hopefully, that will help.

I didn't. I slept, but I wasn't able to actually get any rest, if that makes sense. Probably because I had to get up early again.

Is it possible that I'm getting dumber each day despite how much I study? Maybe I've officially reached the point of diminishing returns, and I need a legit break or something. Too bad I don't have time for one.

Sorry if it seemed like I just peaced out without saying bye. F.net got super funky (for me, at least) and then I couldn't back into live.

Eh... I'm gonna try and sleep now. We'll talk later.

Been fine, still am fine. Just been somewhat busy lately (includes organising this: http://mil.se/emfc09). Plus, I just think I needed a little break form F.Net.

How are you?

How's life treating you, Jack. Last few times we've talked have been all about me.

Yeah, the big lake here in Austin, Lake Travis. It's still only thirty minutes or less to downtown, though.

And the area is awesome. It's funny, though. There are small houses out there in some parts, and then sometimes you'll have a multimillion (and I do mean multi) dollar house right across the street. So it's interesting to drive around out there.

Oh yeahhhhh. I knew you were going on that trip, but I thought it wasn't for a month or so.

I wondered why you were gone...

I think we're going to move out by the lake. I'm really hoping that nothing in this falls through. I'll be ten times happier out there, I'll bet, than in a neighborhood. (Although I'll miss my friends in this one. I rarely see them, though, anyway, I guess.)

Hey, where have you been?

Have you ever looked at that entire nursery rhyme?

The last two verses are the best...


Jill came in and she did grin
To see his paper plaster;
Mother vexed did whip her next
For causing Jack's disaster.

Now Jack did laugh and Jill did cry
But her tears did soon abate;
Then Jill did say that they should play
At see-saw across the gate.



Why does Jill get blamed? WHY IS HER MOM SO MEAN? And more importantly, why is Jack laughing at Jill?
