Boy, am I tired or

Boy, am I tired or what. Today was a record for me. I woke up at 9, went “hard core” swimming for about 90 minutes. Then, I showered already tired. But I told myself that I would do some errands, so I did that. First i went to Wells Fargo to cash my check(where I also bought some this yummy flavored water)….then, I went to the new 99 cent store to see what they had there. It turns out that I liked it a lot,and I contributed to their wealth by purchasing 1)sarah michael’s bath and shower gel 2)toothpaste 3)deodorant 4) plastic container. I am highly satisfied with what I got there. YAY :)Lastly, I went to Academy, hoping I could find new goggles. I didn’t at all. In fact, what I found was a poor selection. Pooh on that. Then, I came home and rested…which was nice. I watched Oprah, and laughed alot, just realizing how stupid some people can actually be. Then, my aunt Felicia came over so that my mom and her could “train” together in the pool. (they’re doing a triatholon soon). I went with them, and I also enjoyed myself. It wasn’t as hard as this morning, but it was still 45 minutes of pretty good swimming. That made me really proud of myself. Lastly, I went and chilled with my friend Tian at someone’s house. It was good, and that is final. Nuff said

Signing off, this is Court d.

Dismal in the City

Rain Rain Go AWAY!
Come again another day
And if you don’t,…I don’t care
I’ll pull down your underwear.

That is the way I feel right now. C’mon on now. It’s pouring down rain, which means that I can’t do anything that I want to do today. 1)Running or 2) Swimming and 3) Watch “Bourne Identity”. So, I am stuck here typing away my frustrations with the weather. And yes, I know that rain is good for the land, but it’s not fun when I can’t do ANYTHING that I had planned.

Oh well, enough about that. I’m sooo excited! Today is the day in which I go crazy with a couple of my friends, Betti and Shanna. (We’re doing our Walmart thing again.) It’s not anything that I can share on a public network, but oh boy, is it going to be fun.

Well, I guess I’ll see if the rain has settled down. hopefully, it has…probably not.

Much luv, Courtney

This is What I’m Destined to Be

So, I was deciding to surf the net today, and I came across some engineering jokes. And because I don’t have that much idea of how it will be, I kept reading these jokes. Here is one of the good ones.

Things Engineers Learn in School
1.You can study hard and still fail
2.You can not study and pass
3.Multiple choice does not mean easy
4.There are no trains here
5.Six exams can be written in 4 days, but it hurts
6.You can skip all the classes, study for 15 minutes before the final and still do better than an arts student in any arts class
7.Pi to six decimal places
8.Judging by my fellow students, engineers are either drunks or geeks
9.Everyone is someone else’s weirdo
1o.Front Row people are weird
11.Those who can, do, those who can’t, teach
12.A 95.75% can be an A
13.An 80.1% can be an A+
14.You can kill your neighbors with a 9 volt battery
15.You NEED an HP

I Just Saved Someone’s Life

I just got back from the Blood Center near Memorial City Hospital, and boy does it feel good! Knowing that I just saved almost 3 lives is hard to believe. And get this, ONLY 5% of the population who is eligible to donate does. That leaves 95% who just won’t go and give blood. I mean, c’mon, you get free cookies, drinks, and a t-shirt (even though the smallest size is a LARGE.) Self-sacrifice is something that I really admire and appreciate. So go and donate some blood.

Life is good for the moment. No work gives me a time to relax and spend time with my friends and family. Which reminds me…I have to go buy Betti a gift for her b-day party tomarrow at T.G.I.Friday. Good one.

Buhbbye.

What Sign of Affection Are You?

I’m not sure what it

I’m not sure what it is, but the longer I stay at home, the more often I do nothing. Like, for example, yesterday, I did nothing at all, and I was content with it. I ended up reading a book I bought (Chicken Soup for the Christian Teenage Soul), playing the piano, and playing spider solitaire on my lap top. And it’s really a nice feeling…something I haven’t felt like that in a long time. I think I appreciate it more because of camp. You see, at camp, we are busy, busy, busy, and NEVER get a time to be alone…basically. And I think that (since I have to go back on the 19th) I realize this, and as a result, am “saving up my alone/home time”. I don’t know if this makes much, but ehh well…it doesn’t have to. But I have noticed that I have become more in touch with what different things that I like and such. (I’m not saying that I’ve changed, but I’m only saying that I have found new things to do, while still retaining my present interests.) Like, for example, since I have had nothing really to do, late at night, I would just read and write stuff…for the heck of it. Basically poetry. I really like doing it because it is fun. But it’s really weird, whenever I write a poem or something, I don’t really feel that way, but I make it seem like that. (And I do that sounds disbelieving, but ah, it is true)For example, this something that I wrote a couple nights ago at 2 in the morning.

Without You Here

Without you here.

So that is one of the poems that I wrote. YAY. I like it. Remorse is what it typifies that greatest. It makes me proud of myself that I can write like that. I don’t even think people know that I can do that. Like, most people don’t know all of me. That side is something that only I know. Not even my best friends in the world can support that side of me, basically because I haven’t ever shown them that side. But it’s weird…because my different “sides” are almost like black and white. I have an inside part of me, but I also have an outside part of me (i.e. what most people know me as). It’s just kinda weird.

But it doesn’t even bother me at all. I am more content with it. YAY

Well, I have my errands to run to today

Have a wonderful and dancy day.

It’s All “Relative”

So, this has been a pretty good week overall. I’ll update on what I have done.

Well…Friday, after going swimming with Kari, which I might add has been the hardest swimming I have done in a while, we went out. But only after I went to Hasta La Pasta with my mom and brother, Matthew. Our conversation was pretty good. It was short, and basically we talked about how my mom was gonna get both of us up to college at the same exact time. I don’t think we worked anything out thought yet. She seemed kinda sad about it. I mean, lately, she’s been good, and “strong,” but up until a couple days ago, she’s trying to control us, like saying, “Call me. Tell me where you are now!” And so on. All that parent crap. I assume that is her away of “letting go.” I only wish that I could be gone sooner. Ehh well, I only have 50 more day, which half of them I won’t be here. (1. Camp -3 weeks 2. Fish Camp -4 days) So, then I picked Kari up and stuff, and we went and saw “Pirates of the Caribbean”…good good movie. It had lots of action and stuff like that. Some of the pirates were weird, but cute.

Saturday…I went swimming with Kari again (We’re getting buff…grrrr) , and then I chillled at the house for a long while. I was really poooped today, like omg, EXHAUSTED. Then, I went over to my aunt Margaret’s house, and had dinner, and chilled until about 10. It was good talkiing to them. I enjoy their company a lot. I even beat my mom home even though she left before I did. HAHA :)

Life is good. All my friends are dandy like apple candy. I am ready for college to start. ANd yay, I get my roomate assignment on Wednesday or so. That means I’m gonna get to decorate and coordinate the coolest looking room on campus. Everyone is gonna wanna live where we are, but ha, they can’t…b/c IT IS OURS….hahah, yay…I’m excited.

Well, I think I’m gonna go to bed.

Need to get up early to praise God at mass at 9…have a wonderful and dandy day.

I Met a Girl. :)

SO…I met my roomie. Her name is Kelly Dianne Sheppard, and she is a Biomedical Engineering major (same as me) from Round Rock, TX. We have the same middle names—very cool. She also doesn’t sleep with the light on, stays up late at night, and loves basketball. yay. She also thinks that some of the things done at TAMU is taken to an extreme. (which I also agree with). So far, I think that she and I are going to get along really well except that she has to study ALOT. (She said that she’s not naturally smart, so the only way to get by is to lucubrate) That’s okay though…i will most likely be doing the same. I’m going to get a 4.0 like planned, and when I do, I’m gonna throw myself a party. She sounds pretty cool, and I think that we’ll get along really well. I think our room scheme is going to be blue or something of that sort. She already bought her bedding and stuff, but I have not yet. There’s just so much to do, but it is still really fun. After camp (which is in 4-5 days), I go to Fish Camp on the 20-23rd of August, then I move in. Then, on the first of September, I start school. I might be doing the Cinco Ranch Triathlon on the 6th of September…it all just depends if I’m going to do the bike ride. (i.e. I don’t have a bike yet) . Life is good right now, and I don’t know how to explain this feeling of anticipation. Have a wonderful day.

Please Don’t Wake Me…

Why is it so wretched early? Is this not my summer vacation (not to add almost the last day of it)? It made me so mad today. I tried and tried and tried to get back to sleep, but I had to face it that that wasn’t going to happen. The reason—-hunger. My tummy was too hungry that it wouldn’t let me get back to sleep and wake up 2 hours later. So, on a summer Friday morn’, I’m waking up at the crack of dawn just so that I can sit at this computer (cuz’ there’s nothing better to do. No ones’ up!) and eat oatmeal. But boy, did it taste good. And it’s so weird because I used to never be hungry, and I also wanted to…so now, I think I got my wish, except it’s not how I wanted it to happen. argggh. Stupid wishes not the way I want them to.

But on a happier note. So, here it is, one month (almost) since I went home from camp, and in one more day, Saturday, I will be back up there like the good old times. I am not really that excited right now, but I think that once I’m up there, I love it. It’s just a pain to get up there and stuff. I’ll be getting my schedule (the kids and the cabin assignment) tomarrow. That’s always a fun part of my day. And I’ll get to see all of my camp friends, which we get into too much trouble together. (it’s really fun ;-) And I’ll be doing a good samaritan thing. helping helping helping is what is fullfilling in life. I get to share my life with a kid, and they love it. While at camp, I’m also going to training for a Aquathon (3miles run-1kilometer swim-3miles run) on August 17. I haven’t signed up yet, but I plan to (once I get $30 from my mom). I figure that if I sign up for this, I’ll stay motivated to exercise (swim/run) at camp. It’s hard though b/c if we want to exercise, we have to do it between 6-7:15 a.m. And when you’re going every day at camp, non stop, it’s hard to find the energy to wake up. Ehh well, I’ll see how well I will do. I plan on exercising only 4 days a week though. Any more than that would be too much.

Well, I’m going to go find something else to do until “the world” wakes up.

So Long, Farewell!

So, I am going to camp today, and I probably won’t return until the 10th of August. I think I’m going to have some friends and family come up and see me, so that I won’t be too bored on off-time. (there’s not that much to do in L-town.) well, have a great life so far and I will probably see you later (most likely when school starts)
