For LB:
Someday, LB, we will see the fish (not together lol). But anyways, lets hope the fish is not lazy, but active, and interesting. Lets hope the fish is strong, and perhaps large. Anyways, when I read about the fish that one day on the bus, I knew I would never forget about the fish. And I’m a swimmer, so, I guess that means I should really like the fish, right?

Everyone’s like, wtf mate? But LB knows what’s goin on!

i’ll wait
and i’ll love
i’ll wait
and i’ll share
i’ll wait
and i’ll believe

the time is never
something to be
taken away
the time can’t show
what it does
without pain
driven through
the body and mind
like the ropes pull
the veins in the heart

and so i will love
against time
i will share
all of my time
and i will believe
until time
has gone.

If the sun stopped shining and disappeared, human life would not be able to survive more than a week. And i’m not talking bout the sun dying slowly, yada yada, it would survive 8000 years before we stopped getting light and heat. I mean the sun is gone. There is no light. Photosynthesis will not occur etc.. So yeah, the Earth would be finito. What do you think? How long will it take mankind to die out if the sun were to disappear?
Things to think about:
what would happen to gravity?
what would happen to water supply?
would we flood?
how will the moon affect us?
what will we do with no sunlight?
how long would our energy supply last?
would there be chaos?
would we be sucked in to jupiter’s orbit?
how other animals be affected?
anything else?

I really dislike this game because I have to depend on my enemies to trade etc with me and it is unstructured. It makes me very frustrated. I really prefer being able to control my own destiny/win/loss. That is why monopoly is not cool. Maybe when i get better it will be. but not now.

I’ve been thinking, so there are all these goals I have up in my head, some of which are kind of long term, and I really want to accomplish these things. I continued thinking and thought, well I ought to write this down so I don’t forget my goals.

#1. Go to St. Olaf and be very successful
-I will be successful by learning to my full capacity
-Enjoying my time at school
-Making life long friends
-Making good choices
-Studying abroad
-Maintaining a good relationship with my professors
-Maintaining a high GPA
-Graduating somewhere in the top of my class
#2. After college I will join the peace corps
-I will learn the language and culture
-I will help others
#3. Through the peace corps or a graduate school, I will earn my master’s degree
#4. Get a job that I enjoy and become successful
-Success is determined by happiness
-Decent money, don’t need to be rich, but I want to get by
-Want to help others and touch others lives
-Want to be one of the best in my profession
#5. I guess I should get married to someone I love at some point or another
#6. I want to always further my education by receiving a ph.D. or getting another masters
#7. I want to travel a lot and learn about other cultures.
#8. I want to write a novel or publish works of writing, either factual or fictional

Those are the big ones. Aside from things like staying close with friends and family. Hopefully this account will help me reach my goals. And there is no real particular order that I want to accomplish them in.

So I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how awesome it would be to join the peacecorps. I have been doing a lot of research on it too. There are so many different places that I could go and I think it would be absolutely amazing to learn a new language or dialect, to learn about another culture, to endure hardships that most Americans (especially from where I live) go through and to help so many people and touch others lives. I think it would be such an incredible and unique experience. People live life so oblivious to what’s happening in the rest of the world. I want to go out into the rest of the world and make a difference and “rough it” so to speak in another country, practically another world. I know french and want to learn more spanish in college. I would love to go to africa, the south pacific, the caribbean, south america, central america, southeast asia… I don’t want to just live life in my happy little world. I want to study abroad during college, travel, and after I get my liberal arts degree I hope that I am still brave enough to join the peace corps. The research I did showed me that I can even get a graduates degree while volunteering in the peacecorps. That would be another great opportunity. There are so many good things to look forward to

People who keep looking ahead into their future never live now.
