This is what I am going to ask for next fathers day.

Maybe one day when I have a garage I can just build one. I think that would be sweeter than buying one.

That said, down to business.
I don’t feel like a graduate. Maybe I will after the summer semester. I don’t know. Whatever. It has been pretty busy here in SD. I have had a few people leave the team at my work place, so I have had no shortage of hours over the past couple of weeks. When I add school to that, I feel like this is really good practice for when lil’ Clover busts out of my wifey’s belly. Everybody keeps saying that I won’t have any more free time and I won’t be able to take naps any more after that. I am saying to them, how would that be any different from how it is now? I don’t mean to be a complainer, but pretty much the only time that I have free time is in the middle of the night, and that’s not really free time, it is I should be asleep time. I just use it like free time because I won’t get written up by my cats or dropped from my house if I go to bed a little later than I am supposed to. I just can’t do it very often because there is no time to recover. That is why the idiot book has been so boring over the last couple months. Sorry everybody. We are doing well in SD, but I don’t really have anything very exciting to share beyond that. The semester started last week, and I am going to be in school for the next 100 years. Clover is as big as a gummy shark (approx 3in. or 7.6cm). She is growing at a rate of about half an inch a day right now. If you want to convert that to cm, just use this ratio: 1in. = 2.54cm. I learned that in my chemistry class this week. I also learned that 1L = 1.06qt and 1lb. = 454g. I also know now that {Degrees Fahrenheit = (1.8 x Degrees Celsius) + 32} I need to write Mr. Taggart a thank you letter. I didn’t realize how much information he managed to pack into my thick skull in the 2 quarters that I was in his class before I transferred to JHS. Thank you Mr. Taggart, you’re awesome. I don’t even know if Clover is a girl or not. I think that she is, but both my mom and my sister have had dreams about a boy. I have never been so torn in my life, trust my gut or trust my mom’s clairvoyance. Man this is a tough one. When I find out, and if it happens to a boy, I think I am going to refer to him by his middle name: Awesome. Yep. Josiah Awesome. No, not really, maybe Josiah Edward, but I will just call him awesome for short. I’m tired. This was nice. Thank you.

This took me all day to write

Where to start. Right now I am on my lunch break. It is 8 am in the morning. I usually do homework on my breaks, but my last final is today and I have no homework to do until at least June 9^th. Yay. What has been going on lately? I am going to walk at graduation on Wednesday. That is really exciting. Before I officially graduate, I have to take a couple summer classes. How many you ask? So many that I had to petition a counselor in order to take an over load units this summer. I am not excited about that. That means that I may not get a tan this summer, unless I work extra hard at it on the weekends by doing my homework by the pool instead of in the library and stuff like that. I think that is what I am going to do. I will put on some holiday (the smell of it makes feel like I am on holiday, hence the name, also my favorite is #4), my swimsuit, some shades and flip-flops, and do my homework outside whenever possible this summer. Oh man, brilliant!

In response to my graduation, I decided to start looking at universities. Which one is at the top of my list? USD. They have a program that I believe is right up my alley. In fact funny thing about the major courses is that I took a few of them that were offered for a limited time back at SLCC as electives even though they were 2920 classes that would not transfer anywhere. Maybe they will now. Something that kind of bums me out about USD is that in spite of my AS degree, I am somewhere between freshman and sophomore as far their required courses. What does this mean? About one more year at Grossmont doing courses at $20 a unit as opposed to $500 a unit. Kind of a bummer, but okay I guess. I guess this was something that I knew would happen, but didn’t really expect it to be like this. Break is over, time for work again.

Fast forward 12 hours. It is now 8 pm at night and I am sitting in my car in the institute parking lot so I can give my wife a hug before she goes to her final exam tonight. I just finished my last final for the semester. Wow. What a burden off my shoulders. I never really realize how completely emotionally draining school is until it’s not there for little bits of time in between semesters. I seriously cannot believe how large the difference is between my mental state now and just 12 hours ago. Phewf.

I really don’t have much else to say right now. I looked at a house today but did not make an offer. It seemed to have way too much storage space and way too little living space. It was really weird, the closets were all seriously about 1/3 of the room they were in.

Kristin is starting to get a cute little tummy bump. We talked about names for the little baby growing inside of her and no joke: the two top names are Clover Anna Marie if it is a little girl and Bronco Josiah if it happens to a boy. ‘Kay kind of joke, I haven’t run Bronco by Kristin yet, but I think she will like it better than Repete, and therefore agree to it out of default.
