...and it feels like I just started the semester. I know, it's been months since I've updated my journal here and lots of things have gone on. First of all, I'm in College--the New Hampshire Technical Community College. So far, I'm pretty happy with it. Two of my professors are a little 'meh', but it's ok. It's weird remembering back to when I did ( Read more... )

What a day for memories. Five years ago today, my best friend Greg Karpenko left this world, only months before his 12th birthday. He was a great kid and is sorely missed. Ever since my family moved to New Hampshire when I was two, Greg and I were close friends. Why God chose to take him to heaven, I don't know. But some day I will. Sometimes I ( Read more... )

Ok, this is the... one, two, three, four... fourth day I've been ill. I'm tired (or should I say sick) of it. I was all ready to go to church this morning hoping our new pastor would be there, but the cough started up again and all that. For those of you who are interested, I've been pretty busy. Between work, hockey twice a week, and the college ( Read more... )

My nephews are over today and, consequently, I have a funny story to tell. I was playing with Sam and Nathan in the living room and while I was standing up, I decided to try falling over and catching myself (ending in a push-up position). Upon witnessing this, Nathan said, "What are you doing, trying to be Goliath?" Finding this reference as more ( Read more... )

Every time it get's longer and longer... I am still alive, though. Just got back from hockey with the old fogies. We lost, unfortunately, 7-4. We had the goalie they had last week (and we beat them 13-5, yours truly scoring 6 goals and 4 assists :^p) so I guess it was our turn. I finally picked up a one-piece stick and tried it out tonight. It's ( Read more... )

Today=long, hard (but good) day. Even though temperature outside was in the high 90s, it felt good. I talked to the lady who heads up most of the work in the nursery and she gave me an extra 24 hours for next week which makes for a total of 37 hours for that week. Yay! -Intermission- (Read: dinner.) Ok, back. Peter and Leah Bard are on their way to ( Read more... )

I know it's been a while (again) since I updated last... I've been doing, uh, stuff. Yesterday, Rick and I went hiking with members of the Maunula (sp?) family. The mountain we chose was Cannon Mt - not too big, but not too easy. It was a great day for it and the view from the summit was beautiful. That evening, we went to their cottage just over ( Read more... )

It's been quite a while since I've updated my livejournal, as you've probably noticed. I've been busy doing school, work, and exercise and now summer is here. It would be very beneficial for me to finish my school by the end of this week as next week I'm going away to kids camp to be a counselor. Today, my mom and I arrived home from Lockport, NY ( Read more... )

Spring is here! Ahhhh... short-sleeve weather. I love it! Driving to work in the Prelude with windows down and the sunroof back is very enjoyable. Speaking of the Prelude, we found out there was nothing wrong with it (much to my brother's chagrin) and thus decided to get it inspected. We also needed license plates for it, so I decided to get " ( Read more... )

A few minutes ago, the manager (I believe he's the owner) from Bedford Fields (which is basically an Agway) called and offered me a job. Yay! I am quite happy, to say the least. Finally... something profitable to do with my time! :^) I am confident this will help with some of the motivation problems I've been having as of late. With nothing to do ( Read more... )
