6:12         I'm awakened by "Self Esteem" by The Offspring.  Morning comes way too early after a 3-day weekend!

6:20         I finally get to the kitchen and Napoleon is complaining for his food.

6:42         I'm done in the kitchen.  I ate a brown sugar cinnamon Pop Tart, watched the weather, checked my email, got some stuff out for my lunch and put some Mountain Dew in the fridge.

7:03         I finally find some clothes that look halfway decent and are appropriate for the weather, which is HOT.

7:08         Brush my teeth, find some shoes for marching practice.

7:17         Make my sandwich for lunch using leftover pork from the hog roast last Sunday.

7:21         Let the ducks out of their pen.

7:28         Get my instructions for today from my mother.

7:31         Leave for school

8:00         Finally get to school after being stuck behind a tractor for about 5 blocks in town.

8:05         Go to the band room and my concert trombone has come back from getting its acid bath. 

8:08         Physics.  I realize I left my calculator in my locker.  Oh well, at least I got my homework done.

8:14         Mr. Craumer announces we have a test tomorrow.

8:17         I realize I do have my calculator.

9:05         English.  We start out with this dumb busy work Mrs. Huston makes us do.  I have to sit in a right handed desk and because I'm left handed my arm is starting to hurt after doing my busy work.

9:35        We're reading "Beowulf" and I can't stay awake very well!

10:05      Calculus. 

10:45      I eat my lunch in Senior hall with Lindsay.  Passerby look at us funny because we're eating there.  I have a sandwich with pork, an apple, water and Mountain Dew.

10:56     A close call with Mr. Surrey, as he comes walking down the hall and I have an open can of pop (which is a big thing with him).  Luckily there is an open locker nearby and I put it in there.

11:11     I'm done eating lunch.

11:25     Yearbook.  Fiddled with the computers to get a Zip drive to work without the PC freezing up.  I finally got one to work and I couldn't get the camera to unload the pictures!  So, I got nothing accomplished in there today.

12:14     Government.  Mr. Beekman said we will have an open book test and he will assign us a partner for the last half of the test.

12:46     Worked on my Calculus homework at the end of Government.

1:06       Economics.

1:49       Finish Econ. notes.  My hand hurts.

1:56       Band.

2:05       Listen to Mr. Huffman preach about everything, including the game last Friday, and how we have to learn the new show for this week and to get focused and this isn't the time to be lazy and something about Ohio State and the Army.

2:17         Go out to the practice field, learn the entire dance for Tubthumping and go over the entrance for Dude (Looks Like A Lady).

4:02        Finally we get to go back inside.  I went to my locker and got my stuff out.

4:18       I drop LeAnna off where her mom works.

4:28        Erica and I go to Goodwill.  I get a pair of Adidas Sambas.  They're so sweet!

4:50        I leave Goodwill and drop Erica off at her car.  Then I head to Wal-Mart.

5:05        I go into Wal-Mart, I hope to God that I get out of there alive.  I do the shopping for my mom.

5:45        Barely alive, I get out of Wal-Mart.  I really don't like that place too much, there's too many people in there that don't know what they're doing.

5:58         I get the stuff into my car and I leave Wal-Mart.  Somebody almost hit me because they didn't see me coming but thankfully I saw them.

6:20        Made it home alive, now I have to unload all the stuff I bought.  I go inside and my proofs for my Senior pictures have come in the mail, and I'm not satisfied with any of them.  My mouth is crooked in most of them or I look like I'm not with the program.

6:35         I actually sit down and turn on the computer and start typing my notes for Economics class and talk to some people on ICQ.

7:02        Mom makes some food for dinner, I eat some but I dont think it was that great.

7:20        I go outside to take care of my chickens and ducks.

7:45        I come back inside and feed Hoover and work on typing what has happened so far today.

8:10        I'm attempting to fiddle with my website and download three songs at once.  It is not working too swiftly with a dial-up connection at 26.4

8:45        I paste what I have so far into the web page.
