Finally, an update

I really want to learn how to put pictures in here, i think that would be cool. Maybe sometime later, its hard enough keeping this updated.

So, lots of new and exciting stuff happening in my life these days. Today I went to Abilene and picked up my NEW TRUCK and did a few other things. Im so excited about my truck, its a brand new red silverado. It was fun to go back to Abilene for awhile, I havent been back since I came home for the summer. I saw the new dorm being built, and stopped by to see Jeffrey too. It looks like the new dorm still needs a whole lot of work, but we'll just see. They still have like 3 weeks to finish it. I snuck into Edwards, the dorm I'll be staying at this year. It is actually really big, witha study room, a walk in closet and our own bathroom.

Don't know if I've mentioned this, but right now I'm reading Catcher in the Rye by JD Salinger, just kinda for fun. I never read it in high school, and from what I hear its just one of the books people need to read, to kinda be cultured in American literature. Its about a 17 year old kid, who just really doesnt seem to have any direction in his life, he gets kicked out of his fourth private school as the book opens. Holden Caulfeld doesnt want to adapt to what is considered acceptable in soceity, and for this he is punished. All it seems he wants to do often is to just talk to someone, show them who he is. Btu because hes not a responsible student or a popular kid he never finds acceptance. Its a really sad, depressing book, but I'm glad I'm reading it.


I guess all we are looking for in life is someone who will listen to us, someone who wants to hear what we have to say.

Only about a week till its time to return to Abilene...
