My ISP has been 'running' (if you want to call it that) like a snail all day, which has been really frustrating. I hate it when it does that.

I'm very slowly getting myself ready to go out; I've got the honor society induction tonight. It's not going to be fancy, and we're not even supposed to dress up, but I'm kind of excited about it anyway. I don't think I've ever been inducted into anything before. I'm expecting a pretty short, casual ceremony type thing, no secret handshakes or anything- but with this group, you never know. Very odd senses of humor, these people have.

I like them. :)

I'm really glad tomorrow is Friday, though- I need a weekend. Got my algebra test back yesterday- 75%, which is amazing when you consider that I was half dead with the flu when I took that thing. And the day before the test, I was so sick I wasn't sure I'd even be able to drag myself to campus that day.

One less worry off my back. Of course, there are more where that came from, like the new chapter we're already halfway through, and the Soc assignment that's due next Friday. Which I'll probably do this weekend just to get it out of the way...

Slept through President Bush's speech a few nights ago; was tired, needed a nap. But from what I've heard since, I was probably better off. I'm so angry about this damn 'war' in Iraq I could just scream and throw things. Welcome to the new Vietnam. I think about all the guys I knew in high school who went into the military, all the brothers of my old friends, the sons of my mom's co-workers and friends... and the stories I hear on the news about total stangers who've died over there, who shoudn't have... people with kids and husbands and wives and... *sigh* I hate it.

One of Mom's old friends died last week. We'd lost touch with her ages ago, and couldn't go to the service because Mom couldn't get off work in time. I felt badly about that, but Mom and I got to talking about her and realized she would have understood. She was that kind of person. She was a neat lady. Very stubborn, but she'd do anything she could for you. And she knew how to have fun. I need to remember to pik up a card while we're out sometime soon, to send to her family.

Yeah. And on that cheerful note...

...a total change of subject.

I really meant to get a lot more done today, but with the ISP misbehaving... *sigh* Will get to
