All good things must come an end...well I wouldn't call summer school a good thing, but it's almost over. This week we have finals, then Monday I am off to Atlanta to get some much needed rest. I think this is the worse I have done in school since, I can't even remember when I have done this bad in school. I am oh so close to FAILING Biology. Me, Miguel, Mr. Overachiever is about an inch from failing Biology. I have NEVER liked Biology, nor do I think I ever will. I would much rather stress over a history test where I least have some grasp of what's going on, than Biology where I feel like I don't understand anything. And as soon as I think I do understand something, the Biology Professor will ask me a question about the material and my mind just goes blank. IT SUCKS! JESUS PLEASE don't let me fail Biology! I can't, if I do, then I should pack it up and not even think about going to UGA. I guess I'll just have to head on over to Georgia Southern....

In other news..the newspaper is looking really good. It seems as if my creative side is finally opening up - I'm able to come up with some great layouts for the newspaper. I'm excited for the paper to come and see what everyone thinks about it. I love the front page of the paper, I think it's so cool. I have my eye on some new Freshman who I think would fit well with the rest of the newspaper staff. The first two weeks of school I'm going to go on a major recruiting hunt to scoop up the talented, committed new people for the newspaper staff.

I've had the pleasure if hanging out with some local folks from school this weekend. Friday I went to Valdosta with Jeff and we saw 'The Village.' I thought the movie was awesome - the ending was like, wow, I can't believe it... I then came back, looked at some Biology notes, took a nap, then went to dinner with Catie, Sam, and Pete. That was fun, just chilling out with people at dinner and talking about nothing in particular, just hanging. I don't get many moments like that...I'm always running to and fro, or trying to get a few minutes of sleep in. I took the three of them to the dorms so they could see the horror that is college dorms. They were all horrified at the jail like quality of the dorms - but to me it's become home. But that might explain why I spend most of my time in the newspaper office rather than my room. Here's a look at a picture Catie took with her camera phone...

Then I rode around with Catie and Sam...they took me to Coffee High, where they graduated from high school. I have to say, it put Roswell High to shame. I always thought we had a nice spread out school, but there high school is huge. But then again all of Coffee County goes there so they have to have a pretty big school. They rolled down the big hills at the school, I didn't roll. I didn't want to get dirty. (I know, I'm sad)

So that was that...yesterday I worked on the newspaper and was really happy so I went to Subway to treat myself. I ran into Catie and Mark there. I was leaving and they were coming so I decided to just stay and sit with them while they ate. It was fun just to sit and laugh, and that we did. Here are some photos that Catie took at Subway (I'm stealing them all from her live journal...thanks Catie!)
Catie and Mark

My hair looks a mess and I'm just...sad

Someone please stop me..

So that's pretty much been my weekend...right now I'm at the radio station working the Nascar race...fun, let me tell you. I've been studying for my Spanish final on Wednesday. When get back to the dorms, the studying for the Biology final starts again.

Next week I go home and work I Barnes and Noble (yay), and hang out with some old friends (yay).

I hate Nascar.

Hmmm...I think I need to do another list... Things I have learned this past week (and during this summer):

1) If someone from an Internet dating site e-mails you ten times in one day, it's time to BLOCK them.
2) If you pay $45 dollars to lose weight, you better damn well stick with it!
3) I'm now called 'Paper Fag' by friends from Douglas.
4) Why is EVERYONE in Douglas a Bush supporter? Well expect for those faithful few...
5) Don't ever do summer school again...
6) Don't inflict more stress on yourself than you already have.
7) Good friends are hard to come by.
8) I want my own radio show DAMN IT!
9) I need more money.
10) I turn 19 on the 22nd of this month.
11) I wish I weren't so numb to people.
12) Being alone sucks.
13) Don't ever do summer school again.
14) John Kerry rocks!
15) Anyone who tells me I can't compare the gay rights movement to the African-American civil rights movement can KISS MY ASS!!! Thank you very much!
16) I wish I had a better memory.
17) I don't like FOX News, CNN is better.
18) Don't ever do summer school again.
19) I hope is a good time to be alive this year.

Until next time my doggies...or something....yeah...
