This is the second time I've forgotten to post on Friday. Yesterday wasn't even all that busy for me, except later in the evening at 7 PM, because I saw Horrible Bosses 2 with a few friends of mine that are home from college for Thanksgiving break. It was pretty good, better than the first one. Anyway, yeah I don't really know why I keep messing this up. I was home pretty much all day, got a Christmas tree with my family in the early afternoon, and that was about it, besides hanging with some friends later on. I guess it's because I've had off of school practically this whole week (had 1 class on Monday that went from 7:30 - 10:30 AM), and so my brain schedule has been messed up like crazy. I haven't done a scrap piece of homework yet, and I have kind of a lot. I need to finish up some drawings for Technical Drafting & CAD and then I have a crap-load of other drawings to catch up on in Descriptive Geometry. I also work tonight at 5, but it shouldn't be that bad. I'm dishwashing with another person for a taste test thing for about 60 people, so it probably won't take too long. I imagine I'll be done by 7:30 at the earliest, 8:30-9:00 at the latest.
I ran up to my room now to actually get going on homework, but I figured I should scrum up another post before it gets too late and next week arrives.
I think I've finally gotten my Christmas list all shaved down to what I want it at. I'm set on 4 different Xbox 360 games - Call of Duty: Black Ops, Ghosts and Advanced Warfare and The Amazing Spider-Man. I got the Spider-Man game for Christmas last year but it came in a partially cracked case, and so my mom sent it back but we never went for a new copy, so hopefully this year I get a good copy. I'm also looking at the Kinect for the 360, so gaming should be a lot more fun because you get your whole body involved with it. I'm also leaning towards just getting a gaming/easier to work with mouse but not an illuminated keyboard. I want a different mouse because the one I currently have came with the computer itself, and I'm not saying it's a shit mouse, it's just not very easy to worth with sometimes, mostly because it has nothing for grips, and the contour of the mouse's design isn't the greatest either. I found one on Amazon for pretty cheap that should work well.
I found some keyboards that looked really sweet and weren't too expensive ($20-$35), but the more I thought about it, the more I realized I didn't really need a different keyboard. I only thought that because there have been a few times when I was on my computer and it was a little dark in my room, but I could easily just turn the light on and be fine, so I opted out of the keyboard idea, saving myself from that potential regret. Plus, the keyboard I have now is just fine, no dings, no nothin' wrong with it.
It's just 2 PM now, so I'm hoping to get a significant amount of homework done before I have to work at 5, which gives me 2.5 glorious hours to work. I say 2.5 because it takes me roughly 15 minutes to get there, and so by the time I get cleaned up from homework and ready to leave, it's gonna be a little after 2:30 and really be time to head out. I feel like I could make a dent in my work though, it feels like a lot when I think about it, but I'm sure I'll be done in no time if I just do nothing but homework for these next few hours, just grind it out and go ham. I know I'll feel a million times better knowing I'm tackling this stuff. So that's about all I have to say for this, hopefully I'll remember to post next Friday and not forget again like I have the past 2 times now. Until next Friday!

Gaaaaaaaawwwwwwwssshhhh dangit.
So I clearly forgot about posting yesterday. I don't know, I just didn't even think about it at all. I got up early enough as usual, did some homework (I think), went to class, and really didn't do a whole lot that prevented me from posting yesterday. I was thinking of going to a movie last night, but I decided not to, and then tonight I thought about it but again decided against it. I saw Interstellar last Sunday with my sister, and it was really good, and I mean REALLY good. It's one of the longer movies, just about 3 hours, but it keeps you interested and always questioning things throughout the story. Now, however, The Hunger Games: Mockinjay Part 1 has recently hit theaters, and I wanna see that movie too. If I had the money and the time, I'd like to see Dumb and Dumber To, The Judge, Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day and Mockingjay, but that'd be quite the cash load and amount of time spent at the movies. I wouldn't mind it really, but I don't have the money for that. Or the time, for that matter. I'm just happy I've seen Interstellar at least.
Cameron Diaz is hosting SNL tonight, but she's really not that funny of a person, and so no one in my family stayed up to watch much of it. I watched her "monologue", or whatever you'd call what she did, and it wasn't great. She just talked about how she's been going through constant interviews because of some new movie she's in, and she was glad to be hosting and get away from that finally, but then members of SNL started questioning her about stupid things, and that was literally it. I think 4 or 5 people asked questions and then she says "We've got a great show tonight! Bruno Mars is here!", the usual stuff they say after their monologue. But hers wasn't even that. She mentioned, if that, the fact that she's in some new movie (whatever that is), and then talked about non-stop interviews, and then SNL cast members ask her stupid stuff, like having sex with her, and things that weren't even that funny. I'd have remembered what they asked her if they were funny.
I missed some good hosts from the past two weeks of course. Last Saturday Woody Harrelson hosted alongside Kendrick Lamar (musical guest), and the weekend I was gone for National Convention, Jim Carrey hosted, but I don't remember who the musical guest was. Too lazy to look it up, even though I easily could right now. Apparently Carrey wasn't even all that great as host. My mom and sister said he wasn't very funny in some of his skits and they weren't what they had expected from him. I was kinda surprised to hear that, because I figured Jim Carrey would have it easy, him being a comedian and being the SNL host, but I guess not.
Anyway, it's 11:15 PM, Imma get some rest. I'll be over at my grandparents' house tomorrow for the Packer game at noon and some lunch, and because my mom is gonna be helping my grandma pack her clothes and other belongings up to move into her other home on Tuesday. My grandma has like close to the worst level of Alzheimer's, and we're moving her into a nursing home because it's too hard for my grandpa to try and care for her anymore. She was being sent to a daycare for a while, but she is getting too depressed about things and a little aggressive at times, and the daycare isn't suited to handle patients one-on-one; it's geared more towards groups and keeping everyone together, and she needs more help than a group setting. But yeah, I'm heading over there for a few hours, probably till no later than 4 PM. The game usually goes no more than 3, 3 1/2 hours at the most, so yeah. I think I'll turn the light on this one now, if that even makes any sense. Don't really care if it doesn't. Bye bye!

I got this now. I think.
Alright, so I didn't exactly remember to post before class today, but I remembered now, so that's good enough. I'm starting to catch up a little more in Geometry. I'm nearly done with Chapter 5; there's just one small part of one problem that I'm having trouble figuring out, and no one else really knows how to fix it. I'll probably end up asking about it in class next Tuesday. Anyway, let's forget about school for now, it's Friday!
I plan on seeing either Interstellar tonight or Dumb and Dumber To. I wanted to see Interstellar last Saturday night, but I got a call from my boss saying that I was supposed to work that night. I didn't forget about working, I just thought it was the next weekend that I was working. It was for a class reunion, and I thought it was this weekend, but I'm glad it wasn't. Anyway, I ended up working that night, didn't see the movie, but then I did go over to a friend's house and he and I and another guy played GTA 5 for a few hours. I'm kinda thinking about getting that game for PC when it comes out. It isn't being released until the end of January of next year, but I can wait that long. I was heavily considering getting it for the 360, but that is sitting downstairs, and it's kinda hard to play that when no one else is around, being as my parents weren't in agreement of letting me get it for my birthday. But, ya know what? I'm 19 now, a freshman in college, and I'm gonna be a little rebellious and get the game for PC when it's available. I may or may not get it for the full $60, but I'm more than likely buying it.
I don't think I talked about this a whole lot in my previous post, but I recently got back from the 87th National FFA Convention & Expo. I did the National FFA Band for my second year, and it was a lot of fun. I met way more people than I did last year, and I feel like I got a much stronger connection with the band this year than I did last year. My first year in it, I don't think I made more than 10 or 15 friends, out of the 86 members of the band. This time, I came to know about 85% of the band. We did way more fun things this year than we did last year, too. For instance, one of my friends told us about this game called the duck game, and the concept of it is kinda like a domino effect, and you try and see how many people you can get to play it and not mess up much.
It kinda goes like this:
Person A: You wanna buy a duck?
Person B: A what?
Person A: A duck.
Person B: Does it quack?
Person A: Of course it quacks.
And then Person B would go on to Person C, and it would simply progress from there, like this:
Person B: You wanna buy a duck?
Person C: A what?
Person B: A what?
Person A: A duck.
Person B: A duck.
Person C: Does it quack?
Person B: Does it quack?
Person A: Of course it quacks.
Person B: Of course it quacks.
And so on and so forth, it continues and gets insanely fun, especially when people talk weird or word it slightly differently each time.
Another game we played was Pterodactyl, and the main concept of that game is to say "Pterodactyl" without showing your teeth at all, despite how much you laugh. You can scream it, say it quietly, act something out while saying it, or really most any reasonable thing while saying it to the next person. If you end up showing your teeth, you're out and it keeps going. When we played it, it came down to I believe 6 or 7 people, and they ended up just calling it a tie, because it would've gone on all night if they tried to push anyone else out.
Anyway, that was just two parts of the awesomeness that occurred at National Convention. And, believe me, when I was walking to class Monday morning at 7:15 AM in the cold, I felt really depressed, thinking about how I kinda was a celebrity for a few days, and then I go back to this place where barely a dozen people know who I am. I'm not saying I hate it here, because I don't, National Convention is just that much fun that really no one wants to go back home and leave their friends. We do communicate over Facebook, Snapchat, Twitter, ya know, social media a lot, so we make it work.
So, I'd so that's a pretty beefy post there, I'm satisfied, don't really care if you're not, because it's 4 M on a Friday afternoon, I wanna be with other people and not sitting up in my room on my computer all evening, especially if I'm gonna see a movie tonight. See ya.

SSSHIIIITTTT
Alright so I've got 5 minutes to do this. I completely forgot about writing a post this morning before class, and I haven't exactly gotten around to posting until now. 4 minutes left. I've been back from the 87th National FFA Convention in Louisville, Kentucky, and it was a TON of fun. I met a whole lot of new people, and it is really depressing being home and done with all that cool stuff. There quite a few cute girls in the band, but I'm pretty sure most of them were taken, which sucks. I mean, it's not like it would even work out, they're all like 2 or 3 states away from me, but yeah. It was awesome and I had another great time. Last year was a lot of fun too - don't get me wrong - it's just that I feel I had a bigger and more significant connection with the band this year.
Last year, it's just... I didn't know many people, and I never really came to know more than maybe 10 at the most from last year's band, but this year, I feel like I came to know the entire band, and that's 86 people right there. Like, damn, they're all freaking cool. The National FFA band is probably one of the best things ever. 1 minute left. I gotta post before it's too late. Until next Friday morning!
