finals, snowball fights, lies

This morning's Introduction to Architecture final was great, after getting over the minute stress of forgetting a pencil. Luckily my mom, aka Brian Hebdon, is in all of my classes. I probably got at least 90%. It was wonderful. If only my Physics and Calculus test could be that easy. I need to start studying for those tests.

I was sore for 2 days because of a super fun snowball fight Friday night. Tyler, Rob, Gabi and I snowball fought for probably 30 or so minutes. It was a bloody blast, as Rob would say. He's from England. Fun accent. Gabi's about my height so I could take him down pretty easily. Heh. But Tyler and Rob.. they were tough. Rob and I both were wearing glasses which was a really, really bad idea. Rob actually lost his in the snow once but we found them. It was my fault too- I threw one at the side of his head on accident. I always feel really bad when I hit faces. But Rob is terrible at making snowballs- he hasn't had much practice- so he wasn't too hard to deal with. He hasn't even ever made a snowman!!! Tyler though, he's a big football style kid, so he was difficult to take down. Plus we were allies for a bit but he betrayed me because he claimed I betrayed him, so I never knew if I could trust him or not. It was really fun. The snow was perfect for packing. Plus I was wearing my green galoshes so my feet weren't even cold. But my fingers were. No gloves. Oops. They killed. Meanwhile Mark and Matt hiked to the top of the mountian. They were gone for ever so I don't doubt that they wen't really high up there. My floor rocks.

I was rebuked yesterday for something I feel I cannot change without cheating myself. I don't like manipulation, repression, or lying, but I have to do all three in order to be "happy" and to make an old friend "happy." But yesterday is yesterday, today is today, and who knows if tomorrow will be what I want tomorrow to be. I was told it will not be. So now I manipulate my emotions to conform to tomorrow. Awesome.
