i begin (again) another chapter at henry ford community college today. i'm nervous and excited. math and ac and dc theory. it should make for an interesting semester. i can't wait to get started.

the pond is finally starting to freeze. it took a ton of moving and angling and putting bricks under boards, but by tomorrow night, i may be able to skate on it. i never realized how sloped my yard really is.

darrian gave me a little scare this morning. when he tried to bark to come in, it sounded real funny. he was all shaky and didn't eat. i ws worried all day until i got home and saw his face in the window all excited. i knew then that he was okee dokee.

i have to take a quick shower before i go to get zug island off me, then it's off to school! yaaahhhooooooo!!!!!
