thanks for coming on back now.

random thoughts:

--finally cut the damn muff. it had been roughly 5 months, last september since i had had it cut. i had it left a little longer at the beginning of the semester and had intended to go back every 3-4 weeks to leave it about that length and instead decided to let it go a little longer for a month or so, turns out each month i just kept saying that. the length it had gotten to, i'm not really sure if i'd say it's that long for going so long without getting a trim, but it was definitely the longest i've ever had my hair. but, it was an experiment and it was fun to try something different. i definitely won't miss the pain of severely tangled hair in the shower and having trouble fitting into hats.

--the highlight of the semester might have come already yesterday. of course it's gonna happen in racquetball. it was at the end of class so me and another guy were playing like any other day, and this guy (tall, must have been at least 6'3" i'd say) just happen to step right in front of my return shot right off the back wall. so imagine this scenario if you will:

• tall guy returns it off the front wall
  
• bounces on the floor once
  
• hits back wall
  
• justin returns ball straight off back wall
  
• tall guy moves toward middle of court for return
  
• high speed ball strikes tall guy right in the back of the head
  

heh, it was half funny half sad to see this big tough guy take that ball so damn hard and just lay on the court with his arm over his eyes saying "alright man i gotta go anyway..." i think it's the highlight of my semester mostly just cuz it made him quit right away, HAHA. i'm not sure how i'll see him the rest of the semester without cracking up immediately.

--i agree that zachry 102 is the worst classroom on the entire texas a&m campus. not sure what the seating capacity is, but it's about 7 times as much as it really should hold. i can't concentrate on learning engineering ethics cuz the whole time i'm thinking "hey y'know if all of a sudden my stomach starts to kill me, what the fuck route do i take to get outta here?"

--taking notes longer than about 15 minutes has become increasingly difficult for me. if this happened to me when i was in 3rd grade, they'd say i had ADD and give me some dope to fuck me up. but seriously tho, nowadays in class after i've taken notes for a few minutes i just spend the rest of my time looking at other people in the class or writing a bunch of to-do lists and such in the margins.

--and on a final note for today, that ben & jerry's flavor makin' whoopie whatever is insanely good. it's not even a good good, it's a bad good. you just sit and think "nothing should taste like this" as you're eating it. i think i felt the same way i had a chocolate shake from shakes and wings from wings n more.

au revoir,
justin
