Overall, it has been a good week.
School went well. I took the tests for the first 2 chapters of my psychology class and I would have taken 2 more if the testing center was open Friday. I ended up taking Friday off from everything and reading Song of Susannah straight through. I got a headache from it, but it was worth it.

that's good news about your brother. Yay for days off! I need another one...
waldo:
hey there. what's going on with you these days?
The summer classes started Monday. The communication class looks interesting, except for when I have to speak in front of the class. 
I am also taking a self-paced psychology class. Im a little worried bout that. I tend to procrastinate, and I dont want to try to do everything at the last minute.
The night before last my internet connection was going on and off....

Procrastination is something I am getting better at, unfortunately. Yeah, the kitchen is beginning to look a lot better. But ugh! it's dusty in here...
Im finally recovered from school. During the semester I was doing so much class related reading, I couldnt bring myself to do any reading for pleasure. But now, during the last 10 days I have read:
Snow Crash by Neil Stephenson
The Diamond Age by Neil Stephenson
A Hat Full of Sky by Terry Pratchett
and the first volume of The Complete Peanuts

On Sunday we had a surprise party for my grandmother. I was a little concerned about surprising an 85-year old, but it turned out OK. 
It was a good time catching up with all the uncles, aunts, and cousins I havent seen in a while. I only had one minor problem with it.
Whoever gave my pack of hyperactive preteen cousins noisemakers owes me a...

Cool. I wish my grandparents were still alive. I never realized I'd miss them so much. My tolerance for children is pretty darned low these days. So many parents not only think nothing of inflicting their screaming and jumping infants on innocent bystanders, they also expect you will find them cute. [To be truthful, I am just like this with my dog!]
waldo:
is your headache gone yet?
Well, week 1 of the vacation is over. So far I have managed to accomplish:
1.) Nothing
1.) Nothing
waldo:
That happens to me all the time. I've been sort of on vacation and have gotten very good at running around and buying things I think I need at target.

Thank you, secure delivery is off my computer. YOU ROCK. Get ahold of me on AIM (hellix13) give me your adress, and I will send you the can of PBR. Thank you again.
Finals are all over, and all the presentations are done. Now all thats left to do is wait for the final grades. Im fairly sure I did fine. 4 of my 5 classes I know Im getting an A in, and I think that I should get an A in the other class also.

It was really great (although the venue got really hot and stuffy--something must have been wrong with the ventilation.) All the girls were terrific. Pearl was particularly amazing. She did thus number with a hula hoop--has to be seen to be believed. The audience was also interesting. I was looking around to see familiar faces, but it was too dark to really have a good look. Hopefully there will be a tour near your hometown soon....
One more final, and one more presentation to give (its already written), and then Im on vacation! I wont have to think for a month!
waldo:
Yay! is it all over? Are you going away on a vacation?

Pics of my dog
Thing are starting to calm down a little on the home front. Everyone is a little less tense (except the dog, she still cant relax when my brother is anywhere nearby).
Just in time, because things are starting to get busy at school. I have at least 3 finals and 2 presentations in the next 2 weeks.
argh

waldo:

My brother made it home.
Its good to see him. It had been over a year.
Our parents are glad he is home, and relieved he made it safely.
But tempers are starting to get a little short.
Mom and Dad are trying to help him get set up, get a job, and his own apartment. They feel that he is not interested in improving...

Sounds pretty tense. It can be really difficult having all family members back under the same roof. Everyone seems to regress. Old behaviors and family dynamics kick in. Perfectly sane people behave embarassingly and bizarrely. I don't even recognize myself sometimes during the holidays! Maybe it's a good thing that your dog doesn't recognize him 
I think you should post more pictures of your dog. Maybe a few of him barking at strangers and looking ferocious?

My brother is moving back here from Seattle.
I love the guy, and Ill be glad to see him again.
But
The reason hes moving back is because he screwed up his life. Again.
As of last week he had been off of drugs for about 2 years, had found a good job, a wonderful girlfriend, and was getting along with his ex.
Then,...

Whoa. that's depressing. It sounds like one of those ABC afterschool specials. Your parents must be really really depressed.
waldo:
Well, how's it going? Is your brother driving everyone nuts?
