I'm in Florida right now, but I leave in the mid afternoon. I haven't done too much down here, but it was nice to relax. The weather is absolutely perfect. Yesterday I met up with Amado in Miami. My step-cousin, he and I all hung out at Coconut Grove and then went to Santa's Enchanted Forest, which had carnival rides. Stephanie and I were quite intoxicated.
My grandma bought me a book that Bekah told me she wasn't getting me, but then I checked my voice mail a day later and wouldn't ya know it, I now have 2 copies. I guess Grandma's gift is getting exchanged!
Did I mention that I got a friggin' 4.0?? Yes, you heard right. Straight A's including that history class! Pretty nuts. I can't remember my last 4.0... I need to have a 4.0 party. I'm a goddamn Dean's Scholar.
Aside from the weather, I think I miss Louisville a bit. Well, at least the restaurants. Gosh... they aren't even half as good as the Philly restaurants I like. Florida is either terrible for that or no one I hung out with here has good taste in food.
I really must plan that weekend trip to New York.

It has been a long week even though my last day of classes was on Tuesday (rescheduled from the snow day). We were dealing with IP and DNS switchovers and that obviously caused many headaches for the tech department. Luckily I was still in a great mood from Jon's visit. Goddamn, I miss him.
I leave for Florida on Tuesday right after my last final exam, so that should rock. I hear it's 80 degrees there! I love warm weather! It'll be awesome to hang out with my cousins again.
4 out of 5 grades are known. All A's. I'm expecting a C in history but hoping for a B. That will make either a 3.6 or a 3.8 GPA.
Oh! I noticed that Ask Spacebot was not publishing correctly. I changed the template and it's working now. There are two "new" entries (one was written months ago). Go read!
Did I mention that I wish Jon was still here? One more reason to make a weekend trip back home before the Spring semester begins...

Here I am at the university library. I just dropped Jonathan off at the airport and I already miss him. This was the best weekend I can remember having in a long fucking time.
We ate at Two Hahns and Ramsi's, walked around Cherokee Park, watched Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas as well as Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, went to the Maker's Mark store, went to the Mag Bar, ate way too many hot glazed Krispy Kremes, enjoyed Kentucky's finest green, and I got to kiss my favourite lips in the universe.
8 years of friendship and I can't think of anywhere I'd rather be when I'm spending time with him. I hope one day I'll never have to say goodbye.
p.s. I will add a photo or two when I get to work in a few hours.

Found out I have two definite A's (both English classes). My history prof is still retarded, and I'm not going to waste anyone's time by elaborating on that...
My friend Joshua is the best. He sent me the coolest Chanukkah gift ever! And Robert (the roommate) has been giving me a present every night. I feel so loved this year. :)
And Friday evening will be a fun conclusion. I'm actually helping to clean the apartment to get ready for my guest. I can't remember the last time I cleaned for someone. Never?
Work sucks today. I need to finish my project for 2-D design, and now it looks like I'll be here till like 9pm. ugh.
