Well, one week is almost over, and boy did it go fast. I have a feeling the next three are gonna go fast too, maybe too fast. I went with Brad and Smiley to see Gladiator on the IMAX screen at Opry Mills. We thought it was gonna be like an IMAX version of the movie, but instead they like adapted a 35mm projector, and changed the focus and we just saw the same movie made bigger. It was big however, it took up a little over a third of the IMAX screen, so we figured it was about six times bigger than a regular screen, but even if it hadn't been, the sound was awesome. Fifteen-thousand watts of power into the speakers. Shook the seats. And I managed to get us all a $1.25 discount on our tickets. I walked up to the window and said I'd like one for IMAX gladiator, and the girl says, 'sorry, it's sold out' so I turned and looked and Brad and said it's sold out...well then the girl's like, "I"m just joking" so I said..oh, well if you're gonna be that way about it, I think I should get in for free. She was like, well I'll give you a discount, senior citizen discount, I said I think free is better, she said, but then I'd have to let your friends in too...I said, oh they don't matter, just let me in free. In the end, I paid $6.50, and so did they. I think if I had been alone, it would have been free. Then when we walked in, and gave our tickets to the woman at the entrance to the IMAX smiley said something like he wished he could see the projection room. The woman looks at her watch, and radioed up to the guy in the room, and said she was coming up, not to start the movie. She looked at us and said, follow me. that was cool, I mean the room was neat, but just the fact that we got to go was cool, like if we had gotten to see te faculty only bathroom it still would have been kind of neat. Oh well, Smiley and I are supposed to go to Murray tomorrow (Saturday..hmm...today..)to help Steff move all of her stuff into another room in her dorm, but she called us while we were driving home tonight to tell us not to come if the roads were bad...personally, I dont' think it could ever be too bad, I mean there is salt. Steff is convinced that it's going to be bad today, and Smiley is convinced that it's supposed to be bad Sunday, and me, well, I have no idea, I have'nt seen a weather report since last Friday, and that was for Louisville, not Russellville, or Murray, so I have no idea, I only know that it's above freezing out right now, and it's raining, not snowing.

Finally, a president, maybe not the best president, however, I did vote for him, but a president non-the-less. Well, I'm gonna have to find new quotes I suppose, oh well, that shouldnt' be too hard. I'm officially stating here that the best late night television show is The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn. That's right, there's no arguing with me, I've offically made it known to the world. And, prepare yourselves, next tuesday night, that's in six short days, on The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn, Dido will be preforming, I can't wait. An awesome singer on an awesome show, what could be better? That's right, nothing. I just installed Windows 2000 Professional, and I must say, right at the moment, I'm not overly impressed, it screwed up my CD-R which makes me mad, and it didn't copy over some drivers, so I had to reinstall Napster, soo...I should be able to get it all worked out tomorrow, Smiley's comin over and I think he can help me get it all sorted out. I bought a 6 D-cell Maglite on ebay tuesday night...it should be here Friday or Saturday, I'm quite excited about it, it's big, and heavy and just awesome...I even bought the batteries for it today, I'm ready. I thought about outfitting it with some Energizer e² 's  but that would have run me about 12 bucks...worth it?..maybe, but the truth is, I only had 10 bucks at the time, so that kinda made the decision for me. I've started using my computer to watch DVD's, and I must say, I'm enjoying them, I only own 2, but Smiley let me borrow about 5 of his, so that should entertain me for a while. Good Stuff.

Home. It's nice to be here for more than just a night or two. I've got a month off to prepare myself to go back to school again, but it's a new begining, so it shouldn't be too hard to go back. I've always hated hospital emergency rooms. I mean, how bad do you have to be hurt for them to actually seem interested in helping you? I was in a doctor's office in Bowling Green today, granted it was not a hospital, but still a place of health-care, anyway, this woman comes into the wating room who has an appointment for something, but she also has this sharp pain in her chest, and is breathing heavily, and even having trouble standing, so the receptionist gets her a sprite. Yeah, that should do it, just hand this woman in pain a beverage, that should calm her down. I mean, does she actually have to collapse before they pick up a phone, or something? I left before she got called back, so I'm not really sure if anything further came of it or not. Several years ago I went to an actual emergency room at about 1:00AM because I was having an allergic reaction to something, and I was getting welts, and my face was swelling, and I was having trouble breathing...so I get there...and what do they do?...try feverishly to get me breathing normally again?, of course not, they have me sit down and fill out forms. What kind of emergency assistance is this? ' Well of course we can help you breath again Mr. Fyhr, just sign here, here, and here; and initial this, this, and this. ' I'd hate to know what I'd have to do if I had just had my hand cut off, ' Hmmm...seems we have a problem here Doctor, he can't sign the forms, I don't know if we can help him... ' So they set you free, roaming the streets, because you probably can't drive, bleeding, wondering, waiting...

Two down, two to go. My finals are half over. I took the calculus final this morning at 8:00AM, it took me 2 hours, 27 minutes, and 14 seconds. I felt compelled to time it. It was probably the hardest test I've ever taken, not only was it hard, it was worse because I knew it was going to be hard--in which case I wasn't surprised, but instead my fears were painfully confirmed. I'm not saying that I did really bad or anything like that, but I didn't make a 100% either. I won't really know for sure until next week however. I only hope I passed the class, I have been right on the border of D/F for a while now, leaning slightly toward the D. I still have my Maple final tomorrow, but I'm not worried about it. Then the chem final is on saturday, and I'm not sure if I should be worried about it or not, like it's a multiple choice test, which is good, but there are only 33 questions, which is not good. I mean, that's a very short final to test all the knowleged that I've learned over this semester and it's all crammed into 33 little questions, so it could be pretty hard. I do, however, know the information, so maybe it will be easy. Hmmm... I guess I'll find out for sure Saturday. I downloaded two episodes of MASK last night/this morning. I watched them both too. It's pretty fun to watch something I loved when I was a kid and havent' seen in over 13 years. These past three days don't really feel like individual days, more like one big day with periodic periods of sleep thrown in. I woke up this morning around 7:20 and went to take the calc test, when I got back to my dorm it was a little after 10:30 I went back to sleep after that, when I woke up again it was almost 1:00PM it felt like friday, but it was still thursday, see, one big lump of time, with sleep thrown in here and there.
