| It's tech week, so excuse the infrequent posts, and lack of content on them. Tech went very well, and everyone just keeps getting better at their jobs. The rest of my day was this big realization that I have a paper, or a test in every subject next week, or a combination of both. This weekend should be fun. And on top of tech, I have a Shining Lighs Show on Sunday. I'll find time somewhere I guess. |

| So part two of my english essay story, I got to class today, and realized that I hated my essay. I decided I'd create a new one and turn it in tomorrow. I am a lot happier about my new essay. Tech was good. The Boyfriend is a really short show, and the massive shifts are pretty fun. I did a lot of work on the lift today. I think there's something wrong with it because it doesn't feel as safe as it used to be. My room is amazingly clean. it's so scary. I really hope we sell this hole soon, or I'm gonna go crazy with all the neatness. |

| So I procrastinated once again on my english essay that is due tomorrow. I wrote it on religion because it was a satire paper, and I had to make light of something. Crew was good. It was our first day of tech, and it went very well. Except for a track stopper almost falling on my head, but hey, it happens. I am pretty tired now, so I'm gonna cut this entry short. |

| I got a math test back today, C. That's ok, I'm told that's average. We finished Blade Runner in film as literature today. I'm not sure how I feel about it. It was definitely an interesting movie with many bizarre twists. Crew was good today, the shifting is amazingly well organized thanks to Caitlin and Chelsea, within two hours, everything had already come together. I did this psychology project today, and it took forever. That'll teach me to procrastinate. |

| Today was cool. I got an excellent night's sleep, and then I went to run a show. The show ran fine. Yesterday, I went to Indiana with Gail and Zoe, and I must say that Indiana is everything that people say that it is. It is truly a beautiful campus. We had another broker's open today, and we should have an offer on it coming in sometime tomorrow. Oh, so yesterday, we were driving through Indiana and all of a sudden (we were in heavy snow), a car veers off of oncoming traffic, and into my lane, I slam on the brakes, ABS kicked in, I was sliding, but still able to control the car, and slid to a stop about 20 feet from her car. I was very relieved. We hit some pretty bad weather. We left during the night, and there was really heavy fog. Then, once dawn came, we hit heavy rain. On our way back from Bloomington, it started to hail, then snow around Indy, and finally it got really windy near Chicago. It was interesting. Anyways, that's about it, I know I have a tough choice in colleges to make. By the way, I was accepted to Cincinnati's college conservatory of music!!! |

| Today was good. In english, we had a reading day, so I was able to get a jump start on my book. I'm reading Animal Farm by George Orwell. It's a pretty cool book. School was fairly uninteresting. During 9th period, I went to Best Buy with Paul and marveled at the new cell phone with the built in camera. It's really fun looking. Most of crew was spent setting up for Jam for Justice, which I'm sure will be great. But for now, I'm going to sleep so that I can drive to Indiana tomorrow. Oh, this reminds me, I should print directions. |
2/19/03 |
Ok, so we are definitely going to visit Indiana on Saturday at 3:30 in the morning. Today was boring. I took my psychology test 9th period, and in crew, I boarded up a door. I really wish that my entries would get longer, but I'm afraid that my life just keeps getting more boring. Just kidding, or am I??? Today we had a Broker's open at our house, and from what I hear, a normal broker's open gets about 10 nibbles. We had 50!!! It looks like our house is going to get quite a few offers. I'll keep you posted. My car is making funny noises, some are beginning to think that it is "broken down", but let me make the record straight, it now has more character! |
2/18/03 |
| Today was fun. Not much happened, I got out of school after 6th period, came home, went back for crew, there was no crew, I came back home, played nintendo, and did some homework. I think I have a problem, I love these nintendo games that I've recently recieved. I think I might be addicted. Somebody help!!! |
2/17/03 |
| Today was fun. I slept late, played some nintendo games, and did a little bit of homework. The house goes up for sale tomorrow, so we've been cleaning up a lot. I did some work in my basement, and some replacing light bulbs. It was overall, an uneventful day, but I played nintendo, I hadn't done that for a long time. It was a lot of fun. |
2/15/03 |
| My trip was good. Yesterday we started off at 4, and we had a tour at eleven. It evaded both my dad and I that there is a time change, so we got there right on time for the tour, and didn't get to look around first. The conservatory has four theatres, that are home to I believe over 3000 shows annually. Sounds good to me. The campus looked very nice, and they seem to be continually renovating, so facilities are always getting better. Needless to say, I was very impressed. After the tours, we headed back to Woogie's hung out there for a while, then headed out for mexican food. We got to bed early, and I got to my interview today just under an hour before I had to be there. The interview went fine. I showed them my portfolio, and then they told me about the program a little bit. I think Conway summed it up the best saying if you go to Cincinnati, you're really hardcore. I believe that he is right. It seems very involved. At base, I had a lot of fun. Next week is Indiana!!! |
2/13/03 |
Yeah, today was cool. I had a physics test on vectors today, I was doing fine until I ran out of time. I think I did good nonetheless. Afterwards, I went to get my haircut, came home, finished my portfolio, then I went to stage crew, built some stuff, left early, got some gas for the crippled aerostar, came home, packed for Cincinnati, cleaned my room, and now I'm updating the site. I won't be updating tomorrow because I'm leaving at 4AM for the University of Cincinnati. I'm excited, and we have a tour tomorrow. I'll tell you about it when I get back. well, it's a long day of driving tomorrow, and I'm going to attempt to get some sleep. Cheer Cincinnati, Cincy will win, fight til the finish, never give in. You do your best boys we'll do the rest boys onward to victory!!!-UC fight song |

| Worked my butt off on this, that's my update. |
2/11/03 |
| So, I got new flash buttons, as you can clearly see on the left. I also got rid of the amp page, and am beginning to work on the theatre page that I started and then neglected. I did a lot of off line work, so don't look for a lot of change, although I did touch them up a little bit. School was decent today. It was pretty uneventful. In crew, we built the poof, and I'm going to try to make it to Brighton Beach Memoirs at Glenbard North, hopefully I can fit it in. The amps are almost gone. I'm getting rid of all of them. I bowled today, and averaged a 130 for each game, I'm so consistent with my average! Well. I'm off to continue working on my portfolio!!! |
2/10/03 |
Mondays are never fun. No crew today, so I came home, and started on my portfolio additions. I have to have it done By Saturday. I'm leaving for Cincinnati on Thursday, and I have to get everything ready for my interview. We're really kicking the house thing into gear. The realtors come on Monday, so we really are beginning to clean house. My room is actually Kwazi clean. I also learned some interesting White Sox stuff today. They renamed the stadium to U.S. Cellular Field, what the heck? It isn't for sure yet, but geeze, what are they thinking? Do they need three million dollars a year that badly? What the .... is going on in Bravo company Matthew?-A Few Good Men |
2/9/03 |
I began my day today at Candace's. We woke up, cooked breakfast at Aaron's and then I had to leave before I could eat it. The Shining Lights show ran great today. I made it sound so good. After that, I ran speanew house, did some homework, and then I relaxed. I'm so tired. I broke 500 work units on my Search for Extraterrestrial Intellingence!!!! That's about it, I'm going to go to sleep now!!! |
2/8/03 |
| Sorry I haven't updated in awhile, I've been very lazy. Today was great, I got up, went bowling, got a 174 (Sorry Gretchen), 89, 131. Not bad, first one was the best. Afterwards, I grabbed some Chipotle with Chuck and pat, and we went to Walden to play some basketball. All I can say was that I got stuffed. Afterwards, I chilled out around the house, and then went to see Libertyville High School's production of Arcadia. Jeff Taylor did absolutely amazing, and was a great Don. Anne, Dianne, excellent work, and Kevin, I loved the set. After that, I met up with the Turnabout Group for dessert, came home and am writing this on the fly. Well, off to Candace's house! |

| Made an archive for the webpage, see bottom, too tired to update anything else!!! |
2/4/03 |
Today was uneventful. We started with an assembly by Milton Creagh, a speaker on drugs and alcohol, (Not that he was on drugs and alcohol, he speaks about them, geeze what are you thinking?) Anyways, he was Ok, made me laugh a little, made me think, then I thought about the 75 minute free period after that, and I didn't really care anymore. He was good though. I got home and found out that my Dad had gotten 15 stitches in his head. He was tightening a bolt on a machine, his wrench slipped and he fell forward, head first into the pointy edge of a bolt. He'll be fine, but he's got a new bald spot it looks kinda funny. No more news on the Aerostar. Never was there a story of more woe, than Goldy and his aerostar-Romeo and Juliet, kinda. |
2/3/03 |
| So today started out with a bang. No, I'm serious, right in the trunk of my car. I got ram jammed from behind. No one was hurt, but it may be curtains for the aerostar. The value of the car is less than the value of the damages, so we'll wait to see what the insurance company says, but I may be looking for a new car soon, which would stink, only 3000 miles shy of the big 100,000. Milton Creagh was cancelled today. What's up with that? I came home after school and just chilled. Tomorrow we go back to crew, so I'll have something to do. Yay for late sleeps. I am so glad that we have them. |
2/2/03 |
| Yay, no more court supervision!!! Today was awesome, I woke up late, ran an errand down to my Dad's factory, (Always fun to drive to Chicago), and then I ran speaker cable in the new house with my Dad. Sound is so much fun!!! Then I played with coins watched some tv, and now I get to sleep late for tomorrow. It doesn't get much better! |
2/1/03 |
So, tomorrow is the anniversary of my first traffic accident. More importantly, it is the day that I am off of court supervision. I started off my day with some bowling, where I got a 130, a 126, and a 126. I guess I was pretty consistent. I then went to the bank, and finally went to my Grandpa's house. I started my brother on a coin collection of his own, and I got a few new (or not so new) pennies. about 100 dollars worth if you were going to sell them. The oldest was from 1909!!! Anyways, after that, I went and ran a bar mitzvah. The room was massive and our little tiny speakers were just not enough to fill the room with sound. Everything was blasting, I was pushing feedback, and I had a good time knowing that I did everything I could. The room was huge, that's not an understatement, it was at Independence Grove if you're familiar with Libertyville. The funny thing was that I was not dressed for a bar mitzvah, I had my jeans with the rip in them and my black tommy shirt. I felt kind of embarrassed, but then again, I'm not Jewish. Then I went to the frame store, where I put in an order to get my Macbeth posters framed, they're going to look so slick. When I get them back, I"ll post a picture. I ended my day by going out with all state crew. Dianne, Anne, Alec and Jena-Lee. (Excuse spelling) Alec and Jena put on Lost in Yonkers at John Hersey, it was a great show, congratulations, and Kate, you were a great Grandmother! And now here I am, and I'm spent. |
