I'm doing a persuasive speech next thursday about lowering the Iowan Gambling age from 21 to 18........I polled the class so far about what they think of gambling and the resounding response was that they don't necessarily agree with it.......here's the problem: I don't really either. The thing is, though, when it's at 21, Iowa kids go to surrounding states to gamble.......Iowa is losing all of this money! In Minnesota, for every $1 sold, 22 cents goes back to the state. 22 CENTS!! Thats a good chunk of it!! This could solve many of their problems!! I still think it will be a tough speech to do, though.....

G-master:
I don't want you to skip class or anything. Besides, I have finals that day all the way up to 5pm. ......hmmm upon further review, how does that wednesday sound? After your classes? Dangit!!! I just remembered I have to get people to work my shifts at the library!!! ARRRRG!!!

Hey Stanford.....SCOREBOARD!!!

Have you ever been sitting at your computer at college.....or at home....or whatever.....and you realize: "I graduated from high school! I no longer have to go to high school! It actually hits you that you are in college......you are on your own. Everything that you thought about while growing up has come true. Right now. Your're sitting in your dorm room, reading this post (for those of you at Normandale, hopefully you too will feel this soon). You are at college.....can you believe that?? COLLEGE!! Not only are you at college, but your first year is nearing the end!!! Where has this year gone?? My word!! It's incredible! Man.....needless to say, I was thinking about this tonight..

you know what really pisses me off? When I'm writing a French paper, in french of course, and I pick up my thesaurus thinking it is my french/english dictionary. So then I try and find a french word, but get all confused because it is all in english......you know how it is when you get in the mindset of your foreign language.....the english lang. becomes weird......yea.....that just happened to me again....and I hate it when I do it.......hmmm......

by tuesday night, I mean April 15th, of course....

But yo G-master, you think you could come down and pick me up again tuesday night? At least this time you would know the way....and it won't be snowing, I promise! Think about it....'cause I still need a ride and my plane for texas leaves thursday!

my word....I've been really bad at updating these....or at least compared to my normal standards. This semester has been insane....but we only have 3 weeks of class in this semester and then I have two days of finals and then its off to Texas!! But then I have a May term.....sniff...sniff....which will be two hours of "football player" math MTWHF.....sniff.....sniff.....I hate math!

"Rapunzal, Rapunzal, let down your hair...so I can climb up and get into your underwear!" I dare you to tell me what b-boy song that came from.....it's so obscure that even the best beastie fans would miss it....

I thought I had to work for somebody at 7:30am this morning.....turns out it is next monday.....oh well, at least I got a good hour of studying in!

I wanna write this quick while it's still fresh in my mind.....one of my buddies here got arrested last night. Not a disco night for him at all. If you went to wartburg, all I would have to say is that he's a soccer player, and you'd understand. But because you don't, he got a minor for being in a car with alcohol, plus he had to take a breath-a-lizer and the 1/2 can of beer he had earlier showed up and they cuffed him and he went to jail for a while. He was back a while later.......quite pissed though.....I felt bad for him. To go to jail for 1/2 a beer......sucks!
