i would go on strike

today we were doing truth tables in philosophy class, and yes, they are as boring and as simple as they sound. anyway, they actually involve some math, and if you ever have to do a problem that involves the formula: 2^n when n= 5 dont do it. in fact, my teacher said that it would be too difficult and there are so many opportunities to mess up that it would be stupid of us to even try. "if someone asked me to do that, i would go on strike," he said.
well right now i wish i could go on strike. i am not sure it is possible for me to do everything i have committed to, and there are so many chances for me to mess up that i kind of am considering this whole "strike" thing.
ok, ok, mom. stop worrying. i am not going to quit. i am actually just being a whiner. but i think i explained that our football team is going to Arizona not this weekend but the next for a tournament. it will be really fun, but there are lots of new rules which means lots of practice. and what do you know... the only time of day no one has anything scheduled is 6:30 in the morn. so Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays i am up and on the front lawn running. it was actually really pretty today because it looked like the mist had spend the night on the lawn and was waking up at about the same time we were. it was just hovering over the grass. the very wet grass. the grass that we had to run in because the defensive coach actually made us run. and the grass was still wet a bit later when i fell diving for a flag.
well not to mention the fact that that is early, i have intermural volleyball games on Tuesday and Thursday nights that begin anywhere from 10:30-11:15 at night. what do they think we are? young college students full of life and adrenaline? well i wish i was one of those but i think its impossible with the two sports, a job and classes... classes with big projects.
and that is why i want to go on strike. and i really really am excited for Thanksgiving break. but i wont quit, and i love it here.
and that is all for now.

Julie,
I just found your blog from seeing your comment on Claire's blog! Sounds like you are enjoying SoCal! Right now I really miss it, it's been raining for 2 weeks straight up here in Portland...
