Howdy from the northland again... I'm trying to cram journal entries because I'm figuring I won't be doing many this summer. I no longer have a modem in my computer or the room to put one back into it. However, what entries I do this summer should be excellent because A... I have a digital camera now, and B... lots of good shit happens at home during the summers. Anyway, onward to the day's activities.
I got up this morning and took my shower, unfortunately I'm out of hair gel so within an hour most of my ponytail was out and I looked like a cross between a slick haired pimp and Albert Einstiein. I also forgot to buy more gel tonight... isn't that a bitch? Oh well, I guess Wally World is open 24-7 here so I could go buy some before I go to bed.
Then I did a bit of last minute cramming and headed off to the history exam I've been dreading for a week. I got there and it seems that nearly everyone was in a panic over it. It was a 2 hour, triple essay exam, plus you had to do 10 comprehensive identifcations. I was actually suprised at the speed and ease with which I breezed through this exam... I finished it in around 35 minutes and headed back to my room. I think I did pretty well on it too, plus I'll have 2 points extra credit that I earned earlier in the semester.... bonus for me!
Well, after I got back from the exam I decided to pack up what good I had boxed up into my car... bad idea. It seems that everyone else in my dorm had the same plans and things were a mess. People are finishing exams and stampeding out of here for home by the dozen this week. This place willl be like a ghost town by Saturday afternoon, which is when the checkout deadline is. Well, I did get my shit all packed up and I filled the trunk of my car. I also packed my refrigerator and microwave into the car since Brent and I were going fishing today and the plan was to leave those items in his garage over the summer. After packing that stuff I headed out to Brent's place to meet him so we could do some fishing... unfortunately I got there too early and just sat back in the car for around half an hour before he got home. I hadn't figured on getting done with the exam so quickly... shit happens I guess.
We quickly got things in order and packed, and then set off for town since Brent had to go to the bank and pick up some food. That didn't take long though and we were soon at Grant. We launched the boat from the shitty landing... it actually wasn't too bad with both of us there. I know it's going to be a bitch to launch my boat by myself this fall there though. Another thing... the weather was great today, calm and near 80 degrees until we headed off to fish... then the shitty ass wind picked up and the temp dropped down to about 50. So we headed off across the chop to fish... and caught fucking nothing. We did see a bald eagle though... I took some pics, but they didn't come out well. Brent got some video, but we haven't looked at it yet.
We thought we were going to get skunked, but then fortune hit us in a good way. We had come back across the lake into a little cove to escape the wind. Well, there was this blackbird sitting on a reed and Brent decided he was going to plunk it with his lure. He missed it, but on the way back a nice largemouth nailed it! We then worked the cove for the next hour or so and caught 7 nice largemouths. I also caught one little needlefuck Northern and myself... yes I did say myself. On one cast I hit the side of hte boat on my upswing, causing the line to tangle about my body and the hook to find its way through my hair and into the flesh of my head. Brent was laughing pretty hard... needless to say I wasn't amused. Well, I guess I was, but not that much.
We finished up around 7:30 or so and headed back to his place. We put my fridge and nukerwave up in the attic of his garage, then just sat around and talked for a while. I decided to head home after that, but I stopped by Taco Bell on the way home and picked up a couple of softshells because I was fuckin' starving. I was nearly at the point where I would have resorted to eating my own limbs to stay alive.
When I got back here I tried to call home, but the phone was continually busy. I expressed my chagrin quite vividly to Matthew via ICQ, and also told him that the changes to his site were very nice. Right as he was going offline I was suprised to have Rich call me. I hadn't heard from him in a while, and I was even more suprised to find out that he was the one who had my home phone tied up for the last hour. The kicker is that he's going to be up here this weekend when Dad's up here, so we're going to head out to his place and see him on Saturday.
Not much after that, just sitting here workin on this and getting ready to hit the sack, I have my last exam tomorrow at 10:30 am. It's my math exam... fuckin' bleah, oh well at least I'll be finished tomorrow.
Later... this will probably be my last entry till sometime this summer.
Oh yes, pictures from today will be below.... and I'm realized that I'm a dumbfuck. I put my pictures on a separate page the other day instead of just stretching it. Man, my stupidity level even astonishes me at times!
