After 20 years together, spending time with her still means the world to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMWriter Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 I had a crappy day regarding the State Tourney for Basketball but it ended up all right in the end. A close friend of mine noticed I was upset and just hugged me. He then walked me to class, just chatting and listening. Meant more to me than he could've known. To quote Neil, sometimes "life sucks, but people are great". Especially best friends. Oh, and I discovered they now have Bugles in the vending machines at school. Yaaaay~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xanadu93 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Augusta State won the conference tournament semifinal, moving on to the tournament final tomorrow afternoon! It's the first time we've won at the arena we're playing at in two years; our last win here was when we last won the conference tournament championship, so hopefully we do it again. This win also pretty much locked up our No. 1 seed in the Southeast Region, meaning we get to host the first 3 rounds of the NCAA Division II tournament.

CMWriter Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Had an overall really good day. At my church, we finally finalized the plan for the Youth Mission Trip this summer, after months of debate and more and more budget constrictions. So that's one thing out of the way. Nice to set things in stone. Also, it was the Youth Sunday School teacher's birthday.. but she's more like family to all of us than anything. Such a great person. She's also a Diet Coke addict, practically, so we made labels with Bible verses and put them on Coke cans and gave her the box. She loved it! (: And I had chili for dinner. The good, spicy stuff.

CMWriter Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I discovered one of the most brilliant, chilling, mesmerizing 115-page-long books ever... Night. Elie Wiesel. You want to read an account of how humanity can crack and break under enough pressure, but how some can persevere? You want to know just what it takes to break a man's faith in the blink of an eye? Night is so much more than just the account of a Holocaust survivor. It's about humanity at its best and worst. And discovering it totally made my day. I finished it in the span of - what, two-three hours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has other books out there, but I can't get myself to read them. I did read it! And his foreward, too. (I have the 2006 revised translation edition.) It's amazing - the two Holocaust memoirs I've read and the survivor I've heard speak all say the same thing: That they're just witnesses, not heroes; that they didn't do anything special. But I think just having the strength to share their respective experiences with the world is rather heroic in itself. They're keeping the memory alive, and that's something! (People like that make my day.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMWriter Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 State Basketball tomorrow! So the anticipation made my day. That, and the knowledge that I survived the last midterms I will ever have.. in high school! Such a feeling of satisfaction that, yes, I made it, and there's a 99% chance I won't have to take any finals this year. Whoo-hoo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
