Well it DOESN'T WORK. I toss and turn and find myself in strange positions...
Today was okay... I had to take an Italian test. At first I thought I was late because, as I sat in my car, I was reading over old texts I saved from Mason and I. And you know how if you take a screen shot on your iPhone or smart phone it also takes a picture of the time and everything??? Well... I thought the actual time was the time on the snap shot. It said "11:24 AM". My class starts at 11:20. I PANICKED like NO OTHER! I cursed like a sailor while jumping out of my car, grabbing my backpack, almost forgetting to lock my car (but did) and ran half way to my lezione. I am SO out of shape, bros. I was huffing and puffing...
Once in the classroom, I noticed only one other guy was there; Johnathan. I was confused... The class pretty much started 6 minutes ago... Why wasn't anyone around??? I told this to John and he stared at me as if I were nuts. I checked my phone and I BELIEVED I was nuts!! My phone now said it was only 11:17 AM! How could this be?!
Finally, I figured it out... I looked at the time that was on the text message instead of the literal time on my phone. I felt so lame... Haha.
At least I got some well-needed exercise!
And about the test??? Oh man... I don't know... I think I escaped with a C-. I honestly don't think I did very good... And if that's the case, I could be screwed for the final... Man, this college stuff is no joke... I should start learning how to NOT be a procrastinator!
... But I'll do that later... ;)
In the morning time, as I was driving to the highway, I was wondering if I'd see that coyote again!! I didn't... It was so neat though to finally see one in our neighborhood! Everyone else has been seeing him!! Then it was my turn.
While driving home, I remembered the child book I had written in my senior year class "Creative Writing". We donated our books (that we wrote and illustrated ourselves) to Children's Hospital. I, intelligently, saved my book on the computer (photocopier!). However, the color is a bit dim...
As I was saying, this book I created was named, "The Coyote and The Crow." I got inspired to write this story based on the fact that, while my father was outside moseying about, a coyote ran down our hill with an angry crow chasing him! My dad was STUNNED and yelled to the neighbor, "Did you see THAT?!" The neighbor agreed and he soon walked inside, stating he saw a coyote being pecked at by a crow. That day the class was actually assigned the child's book project. At first I was going to do a silly story about ninjas. Yet I didn't think I could pull it off. I had no plot... Only the idea of ninjas and the story being a bit of a comedy.
Finally, my mind said, "You know... You could pull off a great 'Native American like' story. You're pretty spiritual." I pondered and pondered until answering back, "Yea! And I'll name it 'The Coyote and The Crow'!"
I wish I could post my story online for all of your lovely readers and visitors to see. But I DON'T want it to be stolen. :( But I can tell you - it's an AWESOME 28 pages.
In other news... I'm sort of becoming the "director" of my group for the Italian script project. It's like hardly anyone in my group wants to partake!! Yet I don't want to truly TAKE OVER!!! So, I'm going with the flow. Though we're hanging off of the edge (the due date is right around the corner), I believe we can still pull it off if I keep going with the flow.
Man, this stress isn't doing me any good... I have double layers of stress. Layers upon layers!! No buono! I really miss Mason... I hope for that call VERY soon... I hope his teammates aren't making it hard for them so they won't be able to make that important phone call yet we won't know until it happens... Or DOESN'T.
I guess I could put this in a positive manner: He is kicking butt. He is being the Marine he always wanted to be and I wish him luck on HIS finals. Maybe I should be GRATEFUL that I have MY kind of finals since his are WAY out of line... For me, that is.
I'm betting big bucks he'll do MORE than just great. He'll do absolutely incredible. He's determined enough.
