| So, I am only writing this on here because I need to vent my frustrations and nobody reads this anymore so I am pretty sure I am safe writing this on here. So, this semester has been really tough for me, in more ways than one. The two main ways have been grades and financial reasons. I have worked my butt off for the entire semester in order to maintain my grades. I mean I study upwards of 40 hours a week, not because I don't have anything better to do, but because it is what I need to do if I wish to continue here. This kind of ties into my second biggest struggle of the semester, finances. I cannot continue going here if I lose my scholarships. Thus I have been really budgeting my money, not eating any food outside of the nasty Main, not purchasing anything therefore I have not gotten any new clothes since I have been down here and I have not gotten a hair cut since mid August.
I have a friend who experiences many of the same problems I have been experiencing. He continually complains about not having any money and how much debt he is going to be in when he leaves college, yet whenever he gets money he goes in blows it on buying more clothes, new shoes, going out to eat. He often takes trips to the mall just because. I don't know, but I was raised that when you don't have money, you don't spend it, and if you have bills such as school you pay those before you go out and buy stupid crap like movies, you can live without them, you don't need new clothes.
As mentioned before, I study more than 40 hours a week. So this past weekend, I finally got a break, I didn't have any tests this week and I only have one next week. So I came back after work on Saturday and said "I don't know what to do with all of this free time" and he said "It must be nice to have free time." This comes from the roommate who watches movies almost every night, who goes out to the store/mall at least once a week not including going to work. So that pissed me off. Then, this entire week he has been so stressed because he has so many tests and he is not performing well because he is not studying, he is going out, he is hanging out with people. And I understand taking breaks and hanging out with people, but when you have as many tests as you do, you should spend more time studying than hanging out. Therefore I have no pity, I don't feel bad for you, you are making stupid decisions and you deserve the consequences you are receiving. Maybe you should be a better steward of the time and resources that are given to you.

| Hey guys! It has been forever since I have been on here.
I am now in Texas. School starts tomorrow. I am excited for it to finally start because right now there is nothing really going on at campus so I don't really do anything til like 9 every night and then I am busy til like 1 or 2 so the nights are really fun, but the days kind of suck right now. That will change soon. Once school starts, I get a job and all of the organizations start up, I don't know if I will have time for everything. I miss everybody in Rockford but am excited about what is going on here.

| For those of you that didn't know, this week, I have been in Fort Worth, TX for Frog Camp. It is something where like 200 freshmen get together and hang out and get to know each other for 3 days at a hotel and around the city. I have had so much fun this week and got to know so many people. I am so excited for August and being able to call this place home. TCU. Now I understand why so many people move to Texas, it truly is awesome. We did everything from have small groups to learn TCU cheers, to line dance, to roller skate, to the zoo, to Mafia, we did so much, it was so cool. I don't want to go home. The only reason I want to go home is see my friends and family. But I am so excited to come back here!! I can't wait.

| That is what this week was, just crappy. I have had so much stuff to do. Graduating is one of the most stressful things I have ever had to do and I haven't even started working on my speech yet. Having to make invitations and contact everybody so I can get addresses. It sucks. And it made me realize some things. Three of the most important people in my life have moved away while I have been in high school. And you know what else, I never talk to any of them unless they come back into town. And it angers me. Everybody goes away and says oh I will keep in touch with you and then they never do. And it is fine that they never do, but don't say you will and then won't. And I take blame for part of the problem to in all cases but one. But, I have realized that I am going a thousand miles away in three months. And I am leaving behind so many people that are so important to me. And I don't want to be that guy that doesn't keep in touch. So, to those of you that read this, I vow to keep in touch when I move to Texas. _clay schewe | | |
| Harlem Math Team is headed to the state finals at the University of Illinois Champaign Urbana campus. We leave tomorrow around noon and arrive home Saturday around 7. Wish us luck. On another note... I am sick right now so if you could pray for me that would be awesome. Speaking of prayer, the first weekly Next Gen prayer went amazing! Thanks to all who came and just prayed their guts out for this summer, it was an awesome time just to come together and begin to collaboratively cover the month in prayer. If you couldn't make it, come next week, Monday at 7pm in the Cross Current Amphitheatre. _clay PS This song is one of my favorite songs. Thanks RMC for singing it. | | |
