I have a presentation for my education class tomorrow and I was working a lot of the day on that. It's about suicide and it's really depressing. To make it worse, I'm supposed to work with a partner, but he didn't really help me very much. I hate it when that happens. I made a slideshow, wrote up an outline for the kids and made 19 copies of it, wrote a summary for the teacher, and wrote some other stupid thing for this class. I did most of all of this in a matter of four hours and without any help from my 'partner.' Thats ok because I had Madeleine (whom I treated like shit today because I was so stressed out). But I got it done. Actually got done by 9 pm. So after that we got some cheap pizza from Gumbys. After that I went over to Keegans to watch Monday night football, but didn't really have a good time because Madeleine wasn't there. Also probably because I'm kind of tired of hanging out with those guys. I think I'm really ready for the break, just so that I can have some time to myself. My mom is going out tomorrow to Philadelphia to see my sister, so it will be just me, my dad, and Joe for Thanksgiving. That'll be weird. Plus Madeleine's leaving tomorrow and I'll only get to see her for about 20 minutes tomorrow before she leaves because our classes run together. I wish i could skip them, but she won't let me. Plus I have to give that presentation.

I didn't have band today, so that was really nice. I'm ready for that to be over. We have two more 'recording' sessions. I'm not going to buy the cd again because it will suck no doubt. I think everyone is tired of this shit and just don't care. Anyway, thats the way I think. Sometimes I get to thinking that what I'm thinking is what everyone else is thinking and I could be totally off. At least I realize that though...

Oh, I went in and talked with my history professor last week and he raised my grade to a B- or 82%. I guess I'll take that. What happened was that I totally misunderstood a point that he made in class and it was totally wrong. So I memorized this wrong fact and wrote it in my test, which turned out to totally screw me. Oh well, I won't make this mistake in the final. I'll have plenty of time to make it good anyway. All finals last 3 hours. I need to start studying this break a little too so that I'm not stressed out during the final two weeks before finals. A little work beforehand can make a difference!

What else...Oh! I bought 'Live at Leeds' by the Who (currently my favorite band) and it's pretty damn awesome. They play a lot of their old music (which isn't that great) but it sounds really good live. I like the cd a lot already. I finally listened to the new Pearl Jam the whole way through and it sucks pretty badly, but oh well. They're not my favorite band anymore. Maybe, just maybe they're still in my top ten.

Top ten favorite bands right now:

1. The Who

2. Widespread Panic

3. Led Zeppelin

4. Pink Floyd

5. The Beatles

6. Neil Young

7. Phish

8. Pearl Jam

9. REM

10. Radiohead

10. Ben Folds

Thats right, there is a tie for tenth place. This is mostly because I like them, but haven't been listening to them very much. I think Madeleine would be pleased, except for having Widespread Panic at number 2. I'm sorry, but I think they're great right now. They are. They rule. But the Who rules the list!

Time to go to bed. I'm getting a little too sentimental over Madeleine leaving. It's funny because I was looking forward to having some time by myself as late as earlier today. But then I saw her tonight and I just kind of died inside. She's the best in the entire world. And I can't wait until she's back.

Wow, if I'm this bad about her leaving for Thanksgiving, just wait until she's gone for the entire next semester. Oh man. Don't even want to think about that now. Time for bed..

Oh yeah. Sign my guestbook so that I know that you are still reading my diary and say hello! Thanks.
