although i still yearn for home... there's still another advantage to being in davis besides the high-speed internet access... the winter's a lot more pleasant around here... it's not THAT frigid in the morning, you might even think that it's a somewhat cold spring going on. i get along just fine with a t-shirt, jeans, and long-sleeved jersey.

and i thought norman and laura's legs were white when we went to socal... the cold's kinda pushing all my blood vessels away from my skin. yesterday, when i was taking off my socks to go shower, i seriously took a look at my feet and wondered out loud... "what the hell?!? am i turning byron?!?" pasty-white feet of mine...

how sick would it be to high-5 someone while you're taking a piss?

i wonder how many classes jon's gonna miss in the morning... as i sit here typing this, he just missed another one

ok, so i know god wants us to learn from our mistakes; problem is, we want instant results whereas god tries us and wants us to be patient; i wonder how many mistakes it takes for me to take before i start learning not to make them... stuff like forcing myself to study, to give my teachers what they expect in a paper... geez, that bad omen of mine? somewhat true... not that i got a 65%, but that i got what i didn't want... a par grade. so again... how long? how many?

persistence is god-sent... so is self-control, both of which i need to train myself in...
