Man, I gotta get a profile Pic on here

I mean really. It has been forever since I have felt like I have had a good enough pic to post. Part of that has to do with the fact that I am in major need of a hair cut and until I do that my bangs just look stringy. I keep trying to get creative but somehow those just always look scary. Maybe I will get a good one tomorrow when we go to the covered bridge festival. I am really looking forward to it. I love these fall temps we are having and tomorrow it is supposed to be like 60. Perfect for a light jacket or maybe just my long sleeves. I love this trip. I don't know why, last year we got so lost and half the things we went looking for were no where to be found but there is just something fun about getting lost out in the middle of tons of booths and shopping that makes everything ok.

My mom's cousin is going with us this year. She is so nice and lots of fun. We went up north to Zionsville today and ate lunch at the cool old church that had been turned into an art gallery. Beautiful stuff in there. I just can't afford any of it.

So any way my best news right now is I am done with my first class. It was an 8 week format and is now all done. I am sure I got an A too. He hasn't posted them yet but I just aced my last two quizzes and am on quite a buzz right now.

I wish my other classes were going as well. I still don't know what I got on my first econ test that I took over a week ago. It is driving me crazy. I haven't even started studying for the next one yet, I just hate this class. I don't want to think about it anymore.

Now, hardware should be my breezy class. I have already read the whole book and done all the labsims. All I have is the test (really easy), homework, and in class labs. That last one is the problem. The hard part isn't the lab, it's learning to work with someone else. The first week I had this sweet old man that is apart of this senior studies program. He was nice but really slow. We got down to the last 20 mins of class and still had one whole lab to do. I had to take control and do it really quick which isn't exactly my specialty but I had no choice. The next week I got a really great partner who not only knew what he was doing but was good at working with me instead of against me.

The real problem has been the last two labs. Normally Sean, my teacher, is really good about making sure we don't have the same partner two weeks in a row. However, he slipped and I got this same guy twice. I hate to talk bad about him, especially if there is really something wrong with him but he is driving me nuts. He is super hyper and impatient, like he is ADHD or something but is also a little condescending in a wired sort of way. He takes full control and works way ahead of where there teacher is tell us what to do and therefore sometimes messes things up. We had to redo this one thing 3 times yesterday. He is tough on the equipment and forces things out when they aren't ready to come out. He even hit the CD drive repeatedly with his screwdriver trying to get it out. I’m always afraid he is going to break something. He acts like he might be autistic or something but I just don't know. I can't slow him down and I don't know what to do. The worst part is I am going to have him again next week because this lab was a two parter. I don't even want to go to class. I can't handle him. He makes me want to scream. Oh, and one other weird thing, he acts like a wimp when it comes to pain. One week he was doing a lot of screw driving and kept going on about his hand hurt. Then last time he pokes his forearm a little (didn't even leave a mark) into the corner of the computer case and jumped and said ouch like he had just cut himself. Then he rubbed it for sometime like it was really hurt or something. Like I said I really think there is something wrong with him which makes me feel guilty but since I don't know what it is it just makes my life more complicated. Pray for me next week. If he messes something up here it will take forever to fix. Not looking forward to that.

Well, I have to get up in like 5 hours so I had better go to bed. Night all, love you.
