Catchin' up.

So the past couple weeks have been decent. I've been keeping pretty busy with school work and admin duties for UU. Nothing too stressful, though. I'm trying my best to make sure I don't have a repeat of last year's spring semester.

My finger got sliced pretty bad yesterday. I was helping my mom move this big heavy TV we have in our basement and just as we picked it up, the TV swung and smashed my hand into the corner of the cabinet it was right next to. It cut my finger right open. I have pictures if you want to see them, but they're a little gross and I didn't want to freak everyone out with them. Regardless, I have it bandaged up with and the bleeding has pretty much stopped at this point.

Mom almost made me go get stitches last night, but I refused to. See here's the thing about me and all things related to the medical field: I don't like medical needles at all. Like...Yeah. I'm serious business about this. Unless I really, really have to. I won't get a shot or blood taken or anything. Same thing goes for the needles used to do stitches. No thanks.

Anyways, My finger is mostly okay at this point. I just have to learn to stop smashing it into things. I don't hit my hand on things often, but I never really noticed how much I actually do it until now.

But yes. That's pretty much everything with me right now. How are you?

It's here.
The day has come.
Will you remember where you were?
What you were thinking?
How you felt?

I will.
I can't possibly ever forget.
It was one of the most magical and inspiring moments I've ever witnessed for this country.
I'm ready for change.
I'm ready and hopeful.

Fact: That bible hasn't been used since 1861 when President Abraham Lincoln was sworn into office. The amount of symbolism in that is overwhelming.

all i've got left is a dollar and a dream...

2009.

it's finally here.
2008 was neat, but i have this feeling.
a feeling that 2009 will be neat also.
