Well, I am fresh off of a pretty decent day of school. I made it through with minimal homework, got to hang with Steph, and only had to take one test today. I took my first AP Calculus test yesterday, and I was happy to hear that I failed it today. I don’t know what the grade is yet, but it sure wasn’t passing. I hope I can make it though Calculus – it’s one tough mother!

This weekend was past insane. There was so much good, bad, and just plain wild in such a short amount of time. I’ll break it down day-by-day for you:
Friday:
I started the day with no homework done from feeling terrible the night before. I woke up at 5:30 and managed to pull everything together. I still felt sick but not nearly as much as I did the two days before. Got criticized because I said I might not play in the football scrimmage that night. I ended up playing my heart out and beat the snot out of some kids from Greenfield. We lost the scrimmage 18-7, but I felt good making my enemies feel like jerks.
Saturday:
Began work on my Eagle Scout project, which is building a produce stand for our local community garden. It’s a big project and will take several weeks. I have to finish all my work before my 18th birthday, so I’m on a tight schedule. We finished work at 12:30, and got a lot done. Stephanie came over at 4 and we watched movies all evening. She also helped me sort through all sorts of stuff I’m getting rid of to make space in my room. I was horrified and enraged to discover that someone destroyed ALL of the work we had done in the garden that morning. I wasn’t sure who did it, but they were gonna get it if I ever found out. It was a great day otherwise.
Sunday (today):
I found out at church that one of the congregation that also happens to own the land thought that the city was doing unauthorized work on his land, and that was why he dismantled it. He graciously helped us redo all the work we lost, and I am sitting on go for the next stage of construction. I also practiced some driving, folded all of my tshirts in a space-saving manner for limited drawer space, and I made some dough from eBay sales. In another stroke of good fortune, I finally got my graphics card to work, completing my summer project and my new monster of a PC.

After three days of feeling pretty crappy, I took the day off from school and visited the doctor. Turns out I have a massive sinus infection.
It’s making this week feel pretty crappy.

I had a great time last night at the annual Grace Episcopal lock-in. I got to DJ for the fourth year in a row, and provided some music that the yougins don’t often get the chance to hear. I also got to spend the entire time with Stephanie, and it was just fantastic all around.
The only problem was sleep. I tried to sleep from 4AM to 9AM so I wouldn’t be so dang tired today, but there was so much noise, and the floor was so uncomfortable that I probably only ended up sleeping 2 hours at the most. Oh well. I slept from 11 to 5 and I am ready for the rest of the day. Then I’ll sleep some more, ha.
School is back in full force. BLUH! Also have a football scrimmage Friday, then first game of the season on the 21st. It’s gonna be crazy!

I thought Friday was busy, and boy was I wrong – today has been just as crazy. Coming off a pretty sweet day yesterday, I jumped right into today and almost fell flat on my face! 
I instructed my priest on how to update and work on the church website that I have recently completed work on, trinityfulton.org. That was pretty cool. I also practiced driving again today.
I mowed the lawn when I arrived home, and I need to read Light in August and complete a second essay on The Great Gatsby by Thursday, which is the first day of school! YAY! *cough* not *cough*
Tomorrow is going to be good though – I have another *date* with Stephanie!

Yep, it’s been a fantastic day so far – it started off pretty decent, with football at 8 in the morning and some work for my legs, which are still really sore. As soon as I got home, I had to start clearing out and preparing a massive bunch of stuff to sell on eBay.
I got a lot of the work done, but it’s nowhere near complete. I am going to finish it up this weekend hopefully. Oh well. School starts Thursday, so the summer’s really coming to a quick end. Bluh.
