I haven't done this in awhile so I feel it's time to say at least something.  A few updates:

1) Being FORCED into anatomy for the fall is one of the best feelings.  Take that upperclassmen, I got in anyway!  Stick it to the man!

2) Getting a 95 on my math test  yesterday was probably a better feeling than getting forced into anatomy.  School accomplishments always make me feel pretty much awesome, especially when there haven't been any in awhile.  My grades are actually taking a turn for the better and I may come out with a respectable GPA afterall.

3) Exactly 2 weeks until summer for 3 fun-filled months in Tha Wood.  I'm not going to have a job, which is exciting, but I will be going to school......A LOT.  I don't mind it because I'm a nerd and love to learn.

4) I have no more 8a.m. classes now after my last test this morning!

5) I went to Grace Church here in CS with my friends Megan and Jenna and I loved it.  I wanna get involved but it will probably have to wait until fall cuz I'm about to go home.

6) Workout Revolution has commenced once again.

This is a little somethin I wrote about Derek that is going to be put into the big memory book for his parents.  I am feeling so many emotions right now but I know we'll be seeing each other again and that he is with the Lord now.  I love you friend!

Derek-

Derek and I became friends when we were about fifteen.  I had always seen Derek at school in 9^th grade but never had any classes with him or had a chance to talk and really get to know each other.  When I would see him at school he was always in the middle of the hallway laughing and having a great time with his friends.  I could overhear him telling his buddies the greatest stories; he would capture everyone’s attention.  Then, my close friend, Laura Fenn, told me that her dad had a business called Fun Unlimited and that they needed workers that weekend to help work an event.  I told her that I would for the weekend, not expecting to work there for the next 3 years of my life.  That weekend I saw the same kid at work that I had at school and from then on our friendship grew stronger and stronger.  I became friends with a great group of guys that would always be there for me, especially Derek.  After graduating high school Derek told me that he was going to move back to Chicago.  I was so proud of him, he was going to have his “dream job” as he always called it and I couldn’t wait to see what he would do with it.  I was weary that we would grow apart when he moved to Chicago but oddly the exact opposite happened.  We became better friends.  We got closer even over the long distance that was between us.  Derek is probably the best “guy” friend that I’ll ever have.  He wanted to know what I was up to, how I was doing and where I was going with my life, something that is hard to find in a “guy” friend usually.  When Derek moved back to Friendswood I was ecstatic!  I remember the phone call when he told me like it was yesterday.  I cherish the time I had with Derek because he sincerely cared about how I was and hopefully he knows that I cared about him in return.  I love Derek with all my heart and know that he is resting now.  I miss my friend, but we can take comfort in knowing that we will see him again soon enough.  I cherish the memories of his smile, laugh and his heart.  He had one of the best.  I am so thankful I told Laura Fenn I could work that weekend because if I hadn’t I would have missed out on one amazing friend.

akjflkajoivjerlkajfdkjcljkzjchaof...............that is how my mind feels right now.  There are a few people that are so confusing to me and always will be no matter how long I've known them and how close I am to them.  To make things even more interesting it seems to be the ones I love and care about the most are the ones who are the most confusing to me.  I don't understand it.  Now personally I feel like I am not confusing at all but I'm sure my close friends would say that I was the one who is "confusing".  It's a stupid cycle that will never end.  It seems to create petty arguments and things that are barely worth their time being talked about.  I know this is jumbled and doesn't make sense but that is exactly how my brain is functioning right now.  ljadfkjalkdjfoaejflkajdlfjaldjf.................
