QotD: Happy President’s Day!
Feb 19th 2007
Ever run for office? (School, club, organization, politics, etc.) Did you get elected?
Sort of…
When I was in high school, for some reason I ended up with the nickname of Bob. Don’t ask me why…I’m still not sure how it started, but it stuck. So one day, during the elections for student council, a grassroots campaign got started (also not my idea). “Bob for president!” They had posters up and everything. It was annoying at the time, but as it went on I just went with it. From what I hear I got a bunch of write in votes.
Actually, that whole thing played a large role in my “opening up”, I suppose would be a good term for it. After that I had a lot more friends. Before, I had a problem with figuring out if people were joking around or trying to be hurtful. After that whole experience, I think I figured out how to fit in a little more with my classmates. Hmm, that didn’t come out very coherently, but it’s not really that easy for me to put into words either.
I think I mentioned the transformation previously. I’ll have to see if I can dig it out.
UPDATE: Ah hah! Here it is.
I’m Tired Of Making Up Topics…You Think Of One!
Feb 13th 2007
I’ve noticed that I’ve been using excessive punctuation in my post titles recently, so I’m going to try and stop…
Anyway, I also just noticed that I’ve got this Monday off from work, due to President’s Day, but not off from school which I find a little strange. Maybe they’re trying to make up for the fact that class started on Tuesday instead of Monday, so the Monday classes lost a week.
Speaking of classes, last night was long. Kinda interesting, but long. We discussed Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing which I finished reading and “responding” to. I also got my assignment back from the first weeks which ended up being an A-, so I suppose I did all right on it.
Bah, I’ve got so much stuff to write about right now, I’m trying to section it out into topical posts so I don’t look like I’m rambling on. Which I probably do anyway…but…expect more later.
