Where The Day Goes
I’m not one for complaining, especially when I put myself in a situation that’s insane. Yet, I just feel the need to share with you the insane length of a day in my life. Let’s take yesterday, Monday, September 29.
Late nights and early mornings
It’s currently 4:45 in the morning. I’ve just finished up programming for my intro to computer programming class. I started working around 11, and I finished around 3:30. I don’t have a printer in my room, and I went down my AIM buddy list. Out of the three people awake, only one has a printer.
I Am Jack’s Inflamed Sense of Optimism or: #141

You’ll Never Know Unless You Try
Lesson Number 1: You’ll never know unless you try
