Pumped for my new laptop for which I write this post on.  It is beautiful.  It is soft; the place where I rest my wrists, the keys upon where my fingers fall; and nicely warm, not terribly hot like my last one.

Ethics is the only class that started on Monday, giving me an entire month before the three others begin.  I'm just going to get a head start and complete as many readings and essays as possible.  I've been given the gift of time and I may as well take advantage of it.  I'm also going to keep working on math for the next couple of weeks and then just take the damn test.  If I have to take a stupid 060 or 090 class then so be it. 

My first pool meet thingy was last Wednesday and I did alright - better than I thought - considering I lost both rounds of eight ball.  What a jip that fucking game is.  It's so hard!  With practice I can only get better though.  Better than not making a single ball into a  pocket for two whole games.  Not one.  But it was fine, I had been drinking and was in good company so there was no reason to take any of it too seriously.  I practiced last night with Christy since we're on a "bye week" and did about as well.  I'll need to squeeze some more practice in here again soon. 

I miss Kirsten but am so happy for her that my feelings of sadness or longing are muted by the joy I feel when I think of where she came from to where she is now.  I couldn't be prouder of her or sweet Nicole. 

By about this time next year I'll have my Associates and be on my way toward my Bachelors and as far as where I'll be working or where I'll be living will be entirely up to a bit of my effort, some help from the universe, and maybe a push or two from God.  We'll just have to wait and see.
