Remembering

The past few days haven't been too exciting. Big thing though, my fraternity brother, Garret went to the ER on Wednesday. He's had a hematoma for a few weeks and I think the pain finally got to him. I'm glad he went though, because now he's feeling much better. They kept him overnight and they were going to just drain it on Thursday. Instead on Thursday they decided do take him to the OR and actually do surgery on it. He thought they were going to release him that day but kept him overnight again. He got bored a lot today, but they finally released him. I'm glad he's finally feeling better though, because I didn't like seeing him in pain. Joe's watching over him now and I'll be there to help when I get back to Indy later this weekend.

Had my second exam in Physics today. I think it went really well. I finished it faster than the first one, and I felt like I understood a lot more of the material that was on the exam. I guess I just understand electrical physics much more than mechanical physics. Then after class, I drove back to Gas City to spend some time with my parents. My dad's leaving for TX for about a month to take over his friend's job while he's out because of surgery. Not the best time for him to leave, but he is getting paid so that's nice. We had ribs for dinner, which were awesome!

After dinner we kind of picked out some stuff to sell. I guess Gas City is having a city wide rummage tomorrow so mom wanted to take some things to Aamie so we could sell them. I decided to go through my bedroom and find some things I could sell. It was kind of an interesting experience. I found all sorts of stuff I didn't even know I had. I found all my old notes from college classes, my selective service letter, and even some old pictures of me and friends. I also started thinking how much of a pain it will be when we finally move out of this house. Especially all the random things that I have. I couldn't decide what I would reallly do with it all. Especially the things I got in HS that meant so much to me, but now don't really have anything at all. One example was my mini-sectional tennis trophy. I have two of them, but after having left HS I just don't see what I'll do with them now. When I told my mom about that she just says "It'll all go in a box and go to storage when you're older." Kinda makes me sad knowing all the things I worked so hard for in HS just don't have much meaning to me know.

Had a good talk with my parents about the rest of school. Looks like the semester that I thought I would just let stay open won't be such a good idea. If I do that, then I won't have any insurance, which would be a bad idea. Instead I think I'm going to talk to my advisor about switching around some classes so that I'm able to get a minor in Criminal Justice. Then also my last semester I could probably get a part time job. I've thought about maybe trying to clerk for a court or something. (They make really good money!) Anyways, that's about it for now!
