Hello all,

Well this week went by pretty fast. I had 2 tests this week and overall I'm disappointed with my grades. Although I must admit I am doing pretty well all things considered. On my first test I got a 3.73 / 4.0. I was very disappointed with that score, I felt I really knew the material and after looking what I got wrong it was a bunch of nitpicky stuff, so I felt I should have gotten a 3.9 or so but whatever. Then the test I had on Friday I really felt I got a 4.0 / 4.0, but I only got a 3.92 which is good, but still a little disappointing (I haven't had a chance too look at what I got wrong yet I have to wait till Monday.) I am currently 2/30 in my section with a 3.81 / 4.0 average and I think 18/315 overall in the class after 3 tests. I really don't expect to stay up this high but we will see what happens.

If you told me before I started school I would have a 3.81 I probably would have taken it in a heart beat, but after taking the tests and really knowing the material but making little stupid mistakes it is a little frustrating.

Lisa and I went out last night for dinner and ice cream. Again the service was a little lacking (they forgot our cheese sticks I can't really be that disappointed because truth be told I probably should not be eating cheese sticks anyway but forgot them they did, and they gave us free drinks and soup, so I can't complain too much and I didn't even ask either) but the food was decent and the atmosphere was really nice. It was a quaint little Italian restaurant. Well after dinner we decided to get some ben and jerry's. Well on the way back to the car we got a little turned around, which normally wouldn't be an issue but we were in a garage that charged 1.00 usd an hour and we only had 5.00 usd cash on us and our time was about to run out so we are walking back and forth downtown looking for this restaurant. Then I saw a guy in a wheel chair that was having a hard time getting up the sidewalk ramp so I helped him out (he was missing a leg) and then I was like have a nice evening. Then he asked for some food, which I said I had no money and then he said well can you just buy me a hot dog from the store down the way a little bit. And well I have no problem saying I'm not gonna give you money, but when it comes to food I guess I can't say no. So then we go looking for this party store to buy this guy a hot dog (all while thinking man we are gonna be late getting our car and then I'm gonna have to find an atm) so I finally find this place, and guess what they are out of hot dogs. So I buy the guy a sandwich and some chips. So I give this guy the food and I'm like alright see ya later, then he asks me for a pack of smokes. I think it is even easier to say no to buying homeless people smokes than it is saying no to giving them money. But anyway we find the garage and it is exactly 5.00 usd. So after doing my good deed we still made it in time.

Well sorry for all the rambling,

Hope everyone has a nice weekend.

Greetings and salutations:

I must apologize for the length of time between posts, Lisa and I have both been very busy with school. I took my first test and scored a 3.73 / 4.0 for #3 in the class of 30. I was not really please with that grade. After reviewing the test I am disappointed that I got the questions wrong that I got wrong, but there is not a whole lot I can do about it now, other than trying harder on the next test. Which by the way is on Tuesday so we will see how I do. It's nice to be back in class, the other guys in class are pretty cool also, but I do not see myself in any relationship with anyone in class other than professional, but we will see it's only been a couple of weeks.

As for Lisa, she meet Richard Haskins AKA Mr. Belding from Saved by the Bell last week. She was really excited and scored a couple autographed pictures.

We went on a date last night we had a pretty good time, we tried a new resturaunt that I was not really impressed by, service sucked, but the food was ok. And the service was so bad that even they knew it and gave us a discount that I did not even have to ask for. So if the menu was better we probably would give them another shot, but I really don't see us going back there.

Tonight we'll probably just watch a movie or something. So hope all is good with all of you.

P.S. Go Wings.
