so I'm judging a debate in lafayette right now, and posting on LJ. I love wireless internet

I woke up this morning at 5:00 to try and get in a 9-mile run before I left for the debate tourney. After eating, nursing my blisters, and dressing I was ready to roll. I step outside and think to myself, "Myself, it's kind of dark out here. Oh well, my eyes probably just haven't adjusted." So I take off. About ten minutes later, "Hmmm, I can't ( Read more... )

I am writing this entry using my brand new Dell laptop, courtesy of Bossier Parish Schools. Retailing at just over $1600, it's an above average laptop. Although the tech people stole my dvd-rom, I was still able to get onto my home network to install stuff. The network was my biggest fear, but it is no longer.

Today was my first 3-mile race. What did I finish? 23rd out of about 25. My time? 23:34. A slightly below average time? Around 19:00. What is more depressing? It was a personal record for me ( Read more... )

Today started out pretty well, the school was abuzz with Homecoming festivities, classes even less demanding than normal, and the prospect of an enjoyable evening. After helping the student council set up for the afternoon's and evening's events, I depart with the cross country team for a meet. I do not participate in the race, due to a ( Read more... )

I normally would not be up this early, I usually get up around 9:30 for church. But so far I've been up for 1 hour and 9 minutes, thanks to my either viral or bacterial infection. I don't know why I'm sick, it happens so rarely, I take multi-vitimins, exercise regularly, eat right....this shouldn't happen. Then again, that's only in an ideal ( Read more... )

After reading Laura's post and Chris's subsequent Greenday rant, I was inspired to post my editorial that will be appearing in the BHS newspaper early next week ( Read more... )
