University Phase 1 Complete

Well I finished the school year Wednesday and let me tell you it was quite the adventure. I never read so many books in my entire life. In total I went through 74 pieces of literature! Crazyness but I'm glad I did it. This year was an eye opener, i.e I saw how people can change so easily because of what they read or what they're taught. I saw people change their entire lifestyles just so they could fit in with a bunch of party ers. I also learned how much I need to depend on God in such an overwhelming world because it can literally tear people apart. This year changed me for the better and although I am estatic about being off school for 5 months, I'm looking forward to another year of school.

Cheers

All my monkeys

For those of you who really know me, you'll already have know that I used to collect stuffed monkeys. And I'm not just talking about a couple here and there but I mean hordes of monkeys. I had at one point in my life, 104 monkeys in total! In my adolescence I also named most of these monkeys after cheeses (to this day I have no clue why). For example I had Grilled Cheese, my first one ever, Mozarella, Swiss, Gouda, White, Marble, Parmesan, Blue, Montery Jack. Then I got creative and switched to weird names like, Stretch, Pinky and Shifty. Also I once had a monkey who was the size of my sister, (she was 7 or 8 at the time).

Yes, I had a lot of monkeys, I loved them and they loved me. If you're not convinced, ask Briggins for pictures. We used to play hockey with them. Teams and everything.

Cheers
