Why do I have a cold in the middle of what is supposed to be Spring? Oh, but it's not Spring. That's just wishful thinking. I predict right now that we will have a hell-like hot summer all the way until the end of October. I'm extremely tired. 7.5 hours of sleep isn't cutting it for me lately. Probably because I've been working out like a maniac. I haven't sat down for 2 seconds in the last month. I've been going going and going. This past weekend I got a gigantic nail in my right rear tire, and my dad and I put a plug in it for now while we price check on new tires, because I needed them anyways. BUT. I got out in the parking lot at school this morning and looked at my tire out of curiosity and it's looking a little low. I need tires ASAP.

It's the second day of April and I just drove through a down pour of a mix between snow, sleet, hail and rain. Wonderful. Today was supposed to be my brother's second track meet, but I doubt that happens. He's only got about 8 track meets total and that number is quickly dwindling. I want spring for God's sake! Like Easter Sunday. That was beautiful. I'm sick and tired of this up and down weather. To be quite honest I'm even a little weirded out by it. For the first time in a couple yeas I have a head cold. I want my ear to pop so bad. But I'm pretty sure it's too stuffed up with mucus to care about my attempts at relieving it. I had an interview with Mama Jeans yesterday! Yay! I'm hoping to get around 15 hours more per week more than I'm getting at my other job. I love my other job. It pays great, but there's just not an opportunity for me to pick up anymore shifts than what I'm already getting. So, hopefully I can get this job at Mama Jeans so that I can actually start saving again. My paychecks right now are pretty big, but by the time the government goes through it, I'm left with a few scraps to fill up my gas tank. Hopefully I'll get it all back next year. I just have to think of it as my other savings account I guess.

It's that time of year. The time of year when I start losing interest in school. But I can't allow myself to do that in college. I must stay on top of things, because all of my teachers have left the best for last. Meaning: research papers! Yay! I'm somewhat excited about this holocaust research paper, because it's something that will keep my interest, although I find it hard to listen or read about some of the stuff that happened because it's down right heartbreaking, and it brings me down for the rest of the day. I have to keep telling myself  that if they endured it for years and years, I can research about it for an hour a day, and then go back to my happy happy happy life. They couldn't. I have to deliver a culture speech in Public Speaking today, and my chosen topic is Iceland. Because no one knows anything about Iceland. It turns out that the entire country's population is 319,000. that's like the size of Springfield and some surrounding cities. Pretty unbelievable. This weather is horrible. Absolutely down right horrible. I guess that fall is going to go through December now, and the winter months will include January, February, March and most of April. yay. I'm just glad I have planted anything yet. I know a lot of people that did. NOT GOOD. I can't wait for this summer. I'm doing a lot of traveling. Why is traveling so frustrating to plan? And why, at the age of 18 can I not rent a car? UNBELIEVABLE! Isn't this the land of the free? I'm old enough to go out and smoke a pack of cigarettes and die for my country and vote on issues that greatly effect our country, but I'm not allowed to rent a car, drink a beer, gamble in Las Vegas, or get a hotel room. It seems to me that there needs to be some rethinking here. It's frustrating to know that I could have all the money int he world right now, but I can't use any of it without taking my parent along. It's a little ridiculous.
