It is! Who knows? Maybe I can even get a job as a forest ranger during the summers when I'm a teacher too. Kinda funny, Phil was just saying something today about going hiking this summer. Apparently someone gave him a book about the 51 best trails in CT or something like that, so we'll have to check that out. I also got some good news about my room situation. My parents decided (by which I mean came to their senses) that it would be silly to move me into Jenny's room when Jenny's not even going to be home for most of the summer, and I am. So she's at home now to clean out her room, and move some of her stuff into my room. Dad says that since it's warm out now, Jenny will probably sleep on the day bed on the front porch (which is screened in) until she goes to camp, and I get to stay in my room. I'm just going to have to move things to fit both of our stuff in there. And then we're going to have to work something out for the winter vacation next year, but that's a ways off. I also told Dad about the attic idea, and he responded with, "Do you have any idea how hot the attic gets?" LOL He also said something about the attic being only 3'-4' tall, so there's really no space up there (not like I need it, I'm only 5'1" and I'd probably just be sleeping/sitting up there anyways). I might mention the idea again once we're home as a possibility for the winter, because then the heat wouldn't really be a problem. Okay, back to working on fixing my paper (they want me to cite sources for ideas I came up with on my own, and make my paragraphs more concise despite the fact that I'm already under the minimum page requirement). Glad to hear your room situation is working out more to your liking. The summer forest ranger idea seems like a really great one. It would be nice if you could manage to work the summers in the forest and teach in the winters. As for the paper... sources for ideas. Where do teachers think up these things? LOL I can understand why they want sources, but some of the stuff is really common knowledge, and some of it is just my own reasoning, that I based off of my own logic and reasoning instead of taking it from someone else (apparently students aren't capable of independent thought?). But whatever. It's done now, and I'm going to sleep. Hope you had a great night's sleep.

... -strikes manly pose- OH DEAR LORD NOT ARKCHER AND CHEESEMASTER ur doin it rong TABLE-PANTS Vs. DIVINE BOVINE WHO CAN STRIKE A MANLIER POSE FIND OUT THIS SUNDAY AT 9 IT IS SUNDAY IT IS 9 -strikes manly pose- IF CHEESEMAN DOES NOT SHOW THAN, Um, I guess im manlier than the wisp of air next to me which will pose as my opponent instead. I call a rematch, so we can have a proper man-off. x3 ( lol k : D If H were on, it would make things easier. x3 Yes... you called? I can't call without your number, foo'. Here it is... 555.555.55.55 that sounds believable. I wanted a number you would remember. LOL

Haha that's what I did with music selections for my music class. The CD set with the music was a hundred bucks but I looked up the songs in videos instead. LOL Nice. So, yesterday was interesting. Finding that video was probably the best part of my day outside of talking to Phil last night before I went to sleep. The rest of the day kinda stunk. Despite getting 8 hours of sleep, I was totally exhausted all day (yet the day before I was full of energy and running on 6 hours of sleep ). I woke up tired and could barely stay awake during class. On the way to lunch and back I felt like I was going to pass out, so I took a nap before class which helped a bit. Our psych film presentation went well enough. After that was dinner, which I left early because I was in a bad mood (being tired makes me a rather unpleasant person to be around). When I got back I talked to Phil for a little bit, which cheered me up a bit. Then right as I was getting to go to class, my mom called. So I talked to her on my way to class. Apparently, Grandma was found walking around outside in her bathrobe. Mom took her car keys away a few days ago, and apparently grandma got the idea to walk over to Ken and Kathy's (uncle and aunt), which is within walking distance. But she got lost on her way over, and some guy asked her if she was lost, and gave her directions to get home. So she got home fine and called Uncle Ken to tell him what happened. So with that, they were like, "Uh....we were just going for a walk ourselves! We'll come and get you! ^_^" So she's at their house now. And of course now my mom is panicking because if Grandma's going to be walking around outside in her bathrobe alone, she can't stay in her house by herself anymore. So my mom is frantic trying to get the house in order for Grandma to come live with us. And because my room is much cleaner than my sister's, my room is getting moved out for grandma, and I'm going to have to share a room with my sister (I'm not thrilled about that, but we don't exactly have any other options right now). On top of being really tired, this phone call was rather upsetting to me and I was near tears by the time I got to class. I did my mini-lesson, and did a rather bad job of it (it's hard asking middle school level questions to college students that know the answers), but my professor thought it was good anyways, and gave everyone in the class perfect marks. I later explained why I was so out of it, and he was okay with it. When I got back to class, I talked with Phil for awhile and explained to him what was going on. And let me tell you, that man is amazing. I was about to have a mental breakdown and start crying, but by the time I went to sleep, he had me laughing out loud, and I went to sleep with a grin on my face that couldn't be moved. And last night as I was trying to fall asleep, I had a brilliant idea about moving into my sister's room. We both have a lot of stuff, and hardly enough room in our own rooms, so being crammed into one room isn't going to be great. However, we have an unfinished attic upstairs that's used for storage. I'm wondering how hard it would be to section off and insulate part of the attic above Jenny's room, and make it into livable space. That would free up a lot of room, and it would be so cool! I'll have to call dad and tell him my idea later. But now I have to go get ready for class. I can understand your mother's panic. Finishing off the attic with insulation, sheetrock, etc is easy. It would be the electrical part that I would be unable to do, but there are electricians for that. I like your attic idea. Pretty stellar! It's nice to know you have an understanding professor, but I think you probably did much better than you think as you seem to be your worst critic. Phil sounds like a great guy and has wonderful abilities to help put a smile on your face. I think you need to keep this guy around for a long time. Oh, I intend to. He's pretty amazing. As for the lesson, my concept was fine, but my presentation was bad. I know that I could have done better if circumstances were a bit better and I had more time to prepare. Thankfully, our professor was looking more at the concepts and thought that went into it. As for the attic thing, I know Dad can do the electrical part, it shouldn't be too tough. Plus all of this will get accomplished over the summer, so we don't need to worry about the house freezing while we do it. I'll probably call dad in about a half hour to talk to him about it. I'm not sure if he'll agree with it though, because a lot of other things around the house need to get fixed up too. I do plan on helping out though. I might even be getting paid for it. Which reminds me, I had an idea today that I might look into perhaps getting a job as a forest ranger for the summer. How cool would that be? I remember that's what I wanted to be when I grew up when I was little. I have two friends that work for the Forestry Service. Of course their jobs are careers, but they love every minute of it. I think you ought to try it. I did a quick search online, and wasn't able to turn anything up in CT. I'll ask my mom though, she might have some connections or at least ideas. Since I was little, I enjoyed walking around in the woods, and then I was like, "Wait, you mean you can get paid to do that???" The two people I know are blissfully happy with their job. They just love getting up and going to work. Now that is very cool!!!

*thunderous round of applause* Thank you, thank you, thank you !!!!!!!!!

You are most welcome!!!!!

[ Fantastic!!! This is the greatest! Thank you. ]

I knew that much. I also know that it really stinks. x3 A lot of the mythbusters aren't affected by it. =O I also know that it really, REALLY stinks!!! You ARE on. =O Zomg. My arm is drippy. D= Of course! Your arm is drippy from... ? I dunno. My rash. I keep it clean, but it leaks like, some sort of fluid. D= I have bad reactions to poison ivy. D= If that drippy stuff spreads, it will spread your poison ivy. Trust me on this one... I do know about that drippy stuff. It gets under my fur. I've taken to wearing long sleeves, to prevent that. But it stinks, cause it is all warm out. Long sleeves will only make matters worse. If one of the little bumps break open, then the fluid gets on your shirt and spreads. Ask your mother to get you clear Caladryl lotion. This goes on, stops the itch and should dry out the little bumps. Oh how poison ivy makes me crazy!!!!!!!!! I personally find the pink one to work better, but that's just me. But the pink one tells everyone you have poison ivy.
