ONE YARD!!, that's all we lost it by. 6 seconds left down by 7, and tackled at the one yard line...oh well, we'll get 'em next year I suppose. For those of you who dont' know, I might be limping at school tomorrow, I sprained my ankle while I was camping this weekend, and I had to go to urgent care...so, I got a brace thing, and some advil that are 4 times stronger than normal ones!, that made it all worth it,;..so I'll probalby be reduced to an ace bandage tomorrow, but it will still hurt.

I hate when a teacher looks over a test right after I turn it in. I had a calc test today, and a physics one for that matter, but I was the first person done in Calc and there was still about 20 minutes remaining in class, and right after I turned it in, she walked to the front of the room and started looking over it, not grading it...just looking. I dont' want her finding my mistakes as soon as I make them, unless she is actually going to grade them right then, so that I can see my grade before class is over. Now, she's at home and gets to mine, and is like, oh, Kenny got number 11 wrong, I'll just skip to that one now and mark it wrong. No, not fair...and then if while the teacher is "looking" she happens to glance at you, oh I hate that, it's as if she's telling you right then and there that she found something wrong, and I dont' want to know about it unless I am going to see the grade within the next 5 minutes. Now, see, that's where physics is good, when we turn our tests into Mr. Brown, he grades them right away, so if I want to, I can wait an extra minute to see what I made right then and there, no questions asked. That's good stuff. One good thing that comes from taking tests in school, is that there is usually no homework, seeing as how the tests usually take the entire hour and a half, or very close to it...so, as you have probably already figured out, I have no homework tonight. I think I'm going to upload my Senior Portfolio onto my site, wether or not anyone will be interested in reading it or not, I don't know, but I'll put it on all the same, just because I want to see it on here...lol...well, I guess that's all for today.

And finally, the weekend is here. Even though this was only a four day week, it felt like it was longer, I don't know why, but it did. It's been quite cold here, and it snowed yesterday, and I think we're supposed to get more snow as this next week comes along. Personally I have no particular feelings towards or against snow, if we get it; fine, if we don't, that's ok too. I've got a bit of a sore throat, I hope I don't get really sick, I hate being sick. hmm...what else...we had cookies and starburst today in calc, that was fun. We were gonna watch a movie in physics, but we didn't, but Mr. Brown said we would get the opportunity again sometime. Hmm...incase you didnt' see it when I wrote it before, The Matrix is the greatest movie of all time, it's official; I have voted, and it won. IWTAJHTTPBIASWSNSIRDEKH.

Aaahh Thursday, how nice, almost friday, which is always a plus. It was colder than a frosty beverage outside today, and it snowed, so that was fun, walking from drafting to Calc this morning, I got a snowflake in my eye, and it kinda stung, to make it stranger, for those of you who don't know, I wear glasses, so that little hoogie just slipped in the side or somethin, crazy crazy...Now, for some serious business, I know for a fact that Smiley was here yesterday, and for some odd reason, I failed to notice his name and fancy message in my Guestbook, is something wrong here? you're asking yourself...well let me tell you, yes it is!! OK now that that's out of my system...I love tetris, I've been playing it on my calculator for the past 2 days or so, it's incredibley addictive, but fun so it's all good.

I know..I know...I haven't updated in a while...I've been busy with play practice and stuff of that nature for the past week. I just took over someone else's part last friday, and for those of you who don't know...the play is in 3 days...so I've been working hard to memorize my new lines..umm...yeah right, nah, they're not that hard. Plus...hmm...I have a calc test tomorrow, I hope I make at least a 90...that would be good. I spent almost 14 hours straight at school today...what fun! I was pretty out of it by the end of play practice...I was actually singing backstreet boy's songs....don't repeate that, please.

Well, it was an average day at school I suppose. all classes, then play practice afterward. Scouts tonight, we played hallway soccer, that was pretty buck. Oh yeah, Russellville ended up beating Logan County 81-48 on Saturday night...Go Panthers!!, OK, that's all for now.

Ok, wow...the Logan-Russellville games were great..well...the one that was actually played that is. The R-ville girls won by about 10 points I beleive, and then... as the boys teams were warming up, Tony Key was showing off his dunking skills, the first dunk got people kinda excited, but then the second..and last dunk got the whole crowd on their feet, because when he came back down, he was holding the rim in his hands. That's right, he broke the glass...it showered down onto the court, and the rim dented the floor when it fell from his hands. Everyone was excited...but still wondering what was going to happen...The game will be played tomorrow night instead at 7:00PM, and hopefully we can make it through with two intact backboards...in fact, I'm not even sure if he's going to get to play or not. Unfortunitly as I previously stated...I won't be here to see it anyway...oh well, I'll find out about it on sunday.

Thursday. How nice. Today was a pretty busy day for me, after school I had two meetings to be at that started at 3:00PM and play practice at 3:30, and had to take two people home after one of the meetings that started at 3:00 but ended at 4:10...yeah, right. So I went to one meeting and stayed til 3:30, then the other meeting was cancelled, so I took 3 people home, not 2, and was back at school for play practice by 4...not too bad all in all I suppose. Tomorrw looks to be a little better, but not too much. I have school til 3, play at 3:30-5:30, then a basketball game from 5:30-til it's over. Plus, I think Tyler Davenport and I are supposed to play the National Anthem, but, he doesnt' know it by memory, and we dont' even know for sure if we have to, and I dont' know if we will know anytime soon. So after that, I have to wake up at around 5 on saturday morning and pick up Alex and Marcus and drive to Owensboro for a scouting function which we can not go with the rest of the group tomorrow night because Marcus and I wll be at the game, and Alex won't be back from Nashvegas yet. So that's it. A lot of stuff....Oh yeah, I just got a new part in the play tonight, it's about a 3 page part in the script, not tooo bad I suppose, but I have to have it memorized by next Sunday...I think I can probably handle that, since everyday inbetween just about we have a practice for it.

Well well well, school. Everything is going fine so far, I think I will survive my final semester at RHS successfully. We're doing just about the same stuff in Calc as we are in PT, so that's a bit easier, but we have homework in both. Plus it's a lot of stuff about radions, so it involves degrees measurements that I learned in CAD, so it's all tying together, which is very nice, gives it all some sort of a deeper meaning I suppose...doobeedoobedoo...scary huh, all our teachers were right. Well, as I said, everything is going great so far, and I think it will continue to go that way for the rest of the year. So, that's gonna do it for today I suppose.. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, I got my color cases for my TI-89 today, they're pretty cool, and wern't to expensive so I may keep them all, I may sell some to friends I'll have to decide later. OK this time, it is really the end.

School is here again, but only 18 more weeks for me! Woo Hoo!! My schedule this semester is once again a good one, I start off in CAD II, then Pre-Calc, PT II, and last, band. I think it's going to be a good semester, one that will also help my GPA. I was ready for school to start again, ready to get out of the house...not that I was in the house much over break, but ya know what I mean. Still as I've said before, starting at 9 wouldn't hurt anything..lol.. Well I had homework on the first day of school, how do ya like that, it's not too bad I suppose. The calc was just a basic review sheet, and the physics is just reading and doing problems...I think...I hope...lol..and well drafting and band are looking to be just as easy as always, but I assure you, May won't come quickly enough, of course I say that now, I don't know what I'll be saying in June when it's all behind me. It will be over, there's not even any possible way that I could not graduate high school, even in I fail all four classes this semester. Oh well, I'm ready to get out...I think.

Well, for me this new year has gotten off to a fairly good start. On saturday, we just stayed home and took down Christmas decorations, not the greatest activity in the world, but it wasnt' too bad. Yesterday, after going to church, I went to Bowling Green with my family--a trip that included a stop at Nats, Target, and Raffertys. It was pretty fun, and I spent some of my Christmas money on CD's so it was a positive expirence. Then I came home and wasted time for about an hour before leaving to go to Matt Jones's house. I picked up Joe and we went. The purpose of this gathering was to view "The Matrix" on Matt's new DVD player...I had never seen this movie before and was ready!! but Matt and John Wright (who was also there) have seen it, so they just kept pausing and zooming the whole time looking for THO and stuff of that nature...Anyway, I feel that I can say without much debate, that "The Matrix" is officially the greatest movie I have ever seen in my entire life! Even without the special effects which are out of this world...the story-line it self is very intreguing, it's a must-see as far as I'm concerned.

Woo Hoo!!! Y2K, and my computer still works, well, I'm glad. Other than that, not much else to report I suppose. All is going well for me so far, and I hope that the same is true for you and all your loved ones. Make it a safe and happy millenium (*see note below)everyone!!
*Now, I know there has been much debate over whether or not this is really the millenium, and I used to think it was not. I have had many discussions about this particular topic, and I personally could go either way, I have knowledge that could possible prove either theory true, so which ever way I want to think, I can live with it, and whatever you think, I can personally agree or argue with you about it, I guess it all just depends on the mood I am in at the time of the discussion.
