I had an excellent birthday.  I would like to thank everyone for making it awesome.  My stitches come out within a few days.  It’s kind of weird watching my skin grow over my stitches.

I have been studying nonstop for the past couple of days.  I have my 70-300 certification test tomorrow at noon.  It is my 4th cert on my 5 cert path to MCSD.  I decided I needed a healthy break from studying and went to my old middle school to visit a teacher my brother has that I used to have.

When I went to the front office to sign in as a visitor, the lady at the front desk told me they do not allow visitors anymore.  Probably still scared over amish people shooting school children.  It’s a shame because my little brother told my old teacher I would come visit.  And I went.  Teachers: If you ever want to see what has become of your students, besides what you see in the newspapers, change stupid rules such as these.  That’s the current state of affairs.

I was cutting a piece of duct tape from the carpet of my old apartment last night when I slipped and cut my wrist.  It wasn’t bleeding very bad, but it was deep enough where I knew I should go to the hospital.  I went to an after-hours hospital that was close by.  My roommate, Joseph, drove me.  So I fill out a form and a doctor’s assistant gets me situated.  She was the cutest little redhead.

The doctor comes in, takes a look at it, and makes sure I didn’t hit anything important.  He then says it looks fine and stitches it up.  So he leaves and the doctor’s assistant comes back to clean me up and bandage my 3 brand new stitches.  So we get to talking and I ask her for her number.  To which she replies “I’m married.”  Dumbfounded, I asked how old she was.  Eighteen was her response.  Tomorrow I have to get it checked out.  Luckily, that big steel bird will take me home tomorrow night.

TODO List: Pay internet bill, Change of Address with bank, Change of Address with post office, laundry, pack suitcases, and leadership paper.

Last night I made my first batch of Rice Krispy Treats.  They are excellent.  Loans for college are such a pain.  There is always something to be filled out, or something wrong.  Classes are wrapping up and I cant wait to go home for Christmas Break.  I am very excited.  We had an error in projects today.  It took us two hours to figure out the problem which was the difference between “neucms” and “neudbms.”  That two character difference can make a whole class-wide project crash.  Lovely…

Today was the best day of snowboarding of the season so far.  The powder was absolutely incredible.  Sadly, the other side of the mountain isnt open yet.  It’s fresh pow teased me.  It was probably 2 degrees at the top of the mountain and I did not have my face covered, which was stupid.  I got my board waxed, which made it soo much faster.  I was bombing down the mountain.  My feet have been hurting lately.  I dont know if it is because i strap my bindings too tight, or because of my boots.  Ill have to try some new things.  At one point, the clouds were drifting under me, which was really cool.  Should have brought my camera…
