These are the signs of life.

My roommate is a basketball player...

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!

A couple of days ago when I was going with my teacher to pick up peaches, I came upon the highlight of my day. I was sitting in the van while waiting for my teacher. I glanced to the left of me where all of the people were standing. Just a split second after I looked up, this girl (probably around seven-years-old) swung a fly swatter in the air and threw it down hard on the table. Having killed the fly, she was clearly feeling triumph. She raised her fist in the air and enjoyed the moment. A few seconds later her grandparents were walking over, and I heard her say, "Who's the queen now?" That girl was my hero.

Summatime

I started picking berries at a local berry patch last week. The blackberries are fun to pick, but they don't pay as well as the blueberries. The blueberries take forever and a day to pick, but hopefully in the next week or two, more will be ripe. Thankfully I was able to take Saturday off because of bad weather. The job is Monday-Saturday and picking just three days last week took a toll on my body. I'm revamped and ready for tomorrow, however. I'm saving my berry-picking money for my laptop. Anyone have any laptop suggestions?

I got a call from Sarah on Thursday. Unfortunately, my phone was turned off. I received an email from her sister stating that the Air Force was working on a deal to get cell phones for the recruits or something like that. Apparently, Sarah attempted to call me with her new phone privileges. I was ticked that I had just turned my phone off. Within a ten or fifteen-minute period, I turned the phone back on and discovered her message. I haven't actually spoken to her since she left, which was May 1st. She is currently on medical hold and is working on getting discharged. The process should be finally completed in a few weeks.

Calculus and Physics are coming along slowly. Please pray for me and my math if you read this. The days are going by quickly and while I am getting pumped up for college, my last two courses still need to be worked on heavily. I have completed all other subjects though! It feels good.

It is still a small world. On Thursday I went with my teacher's son and his wife to a business plan meeting and I met a woman that I had previously seen at the gym, back when Sarah and I were still working out there. One day at the gym, she walked up to me and asked me if I worked at Kroger. She swore that I looked just like a girl who worked there. I frequently saw the woman enter the gym to work out. Anyway, she is involved in the same business that Paul and Ruth are involved in (I am also thinking of joining). I'll probably write more about it later.

Just a few notes about the world...
* The NBA Finals was completely disappointing.
* The 2008 election is an annoyingly popular topic. It is a little early.
* When asked about his thoughts concerning Paris Hilton, my uncle replied, "I would've just spanked her and sent her to bed..."
