I finished another book today. I finished Water for Elephants. it was very charming and satisfactory. it's about an old man living in one of those assisted living places as he prepares to go to the circus. the story does flashbacks to his younger days and when he joined the circus after some depressing circumstances. it was a quick read, but also had some rich emotional moments. i thought about how i treat old people, and the opinions i have about them and felt embarrassed. maybe i shouldn't be so cold to them. they all must have an interesting past worth sharing, and to leave them to die is sad. i learned to have more empathy for them. Oh, i've also never been to the circus, so the details into how it used to be was very fun. i wish i got to experience those old school train circuses, but the great depresion weeded out a lot of shady businesses.

I also learned the difference between "canceled" and "cancelled."
canceled is the US version, and two l's are the british use.
so there you have it.

We had PT in the morning (grass drills, which aren't bad), and then afterwards the cadre announced school was cancelled.

I tried to spend the day doing the assignment that was due today, but i spent a good portion of the day spacing out. The assignment was to design a lesson plan for children in PE. not as easy as it sounds if you can't use any books or any premade plans.
I hope it's well done and she'll take it on Monday since class was cancelled.

I got my book in the mail, "The Sun Also Rises" by Hemingway. I'll get to it eventually. Oh the book came with a receipt (because i bought it used on amazon for 80 cents) from Stanford! Pretty awesome

the beauty of thy peace,
the beauty of thy peace.

I made a M.V.
feel kinda loserific for it, but i thought it'd go well with the movie.

I got another 4.0 for the semester. I hope i get some sort of certificate because i love tangible signs of achievement.

but i only get a pat on the back from myself.
i don't hear it from people that are important to me. I'm supposed to be doing well in school for myself anyways. Hard work for my own future.
Not for anyone else.
So yeah, I got a 4.0

So.... I learned my roommate's name and home.  Maulik Patel of Mt. Prospect.
Well, this is going to be interesting.

Visited my friends at IIT on Tuesday. It was great
