this whole college thing is odd but an incredible experience at the same time. you dont think about how you spend your time till you control every minute. you dont realize the extent of love till its distanced, or brought closer. you dont realize how much your mom facebooks till you look at your news feed and nearly half of it is her. its sad that thats the closest thing to talking i have with my family now. the people here are great. my roommate is much better than i expected and im making it to the colvin nearly everyday even if nobody here or at home nows...shh...dont tell anyone

my first day of classes went off without a hitch, my religious course is going to be great. my math class i cant say as much for. the people are friendly and i havent been lost yet. other than move in day. still havent seen Q but maybe thats best for now because i think if i do i might just get kicked out before i finish my first week.

top missed things so far:
not having to walk everywhere
being woken up by a person
just sitting at home
being in my truck...ever
not having to use a photo ID then six flights of stairs and a key to get into your room
real food...like hot love cooked foods. without puddles of grease left when you finish

i need cereal, milk, and more gatorade powder.
note to future freshman: the water in stillwater is gross...bring something to doctor it to drinkability with you

better get some sleep i have class early tomorrow. be successful

We can all do this. You can do this. I can do this.
Everything. All of life and everything it brings with it.
It wont just be fine, its going to be great.
and Were going to do it together.

For how much university professors get paid, they should have to answer to someone about being prepared for classes beginning in less than a week. Say a student wants to look at a class syllabus prior to his first day, or perhaps look for textbooks somewhere other than the incredibly overpriced student bookstore on campus. How dare he assume that his well educated teacher have done anything concerning their upcoming semester long engagement with aforesaid student. That student shall look and only find his textbook listings for one class...which he found by looking at the syllabus for another class that said that both classes use the same books. how ridiculous of him to think that the professor might actually be doing something like...say...work. nonsense...stupid college student. It has recently come to my attention that i had forgotten the unwritten 5 commandments that were foretold to moses...but that he decided he didnt want to carry down the mountain at that exact time...

11. thou shalt labor for the liberal minded and profit not
12. thou shalt seek for answers from the liberal minded and find not
13. thou shalt yearn for self empowerment and the liberal minded shall hold you down
14. thou shalt work to progress and the liberal minded shall strike you down through empty legislation
15. thou shalt work and pay exorbitant sums of monies for the privilege of suffering under the liberal minded for the next four ears of your life while they continue to use the overflow of your investment  as someone who is capable of succeeding in a higher learning environment to fund the scholarship of  a "less fortunate" (usually though understandably not always a less capable individual who had his great great great grand something treated unfairly by someone elses great great great great grand something)

Due to the recent surfacing of the 15 commandment we shall now be redefining the words "equal," "success," and "truth" please make note all changes are only temporary as the liberal platform may require changes in order to more capably take advantage of the general public for the service of the individuals that do not want to, didnt want to, and dont want to have to contribute to society on any level.

Equal-taking the least of the ones that tried to do something with their lives and funding for them to keep doing nothing but with greater means
Success-recognizing that not everyone will make a difference and taking costly steps to recognize mediocrity so as to insure the emotional well being of the unaccomplished, see also "demotivation"
Truth-a short term use of public misinformation that can be immediately and radically altered at any time in order to more securely push an unrealistic and uneconomical course of action on the general public, see also whatever they tell you to and (ignore what they dont tell you)

Got my new phone yesterday. samsung propel. im having some trouble adjusting to the full keyboard, but im getting there. slowly. its nice in every other way i can think of, i didnt have any trouble moving over my contacts, pictures or even texts. Saw mandy that night. we have been playing some old n64 games, and last night we went for a short walk at dusk, which was very nice. Spent that afternoon talking to hannah bingham, just to say goodbye before i move off. We sat at sonic and talked through happy hour and ended up not even getting anything after sitting there 2.5 hours. its all good though. Looking forward to school, im a tad bit nervous about my schedule but im sure it will all work out. 18 hours. maybe not the best choice, but ill make it.
