Rewriting a Wrong
Today I started on my essay, again. I am finding it a bit harder than the first one to write. Thankfully, there is still enough time to work on it. It would be nice to get inspired on this new essay like I was on the first one. Maybe it will take another four hour writing marathon.

Uneasy Essay
Today I didn't run to any of my classes, but that doesn't necessarily mean I was on time to all of them. I wrote a rough draft for an essay due Tuesday. After getting an email back from the professor, it looks like I need to redo the entire essay which is a bit disappointing. Essays haven't been going too well for me this quarter.

Running after Jogging
Today I went jogging before class. I was running late after jogging, so I had to run to my class to make it on time. I also learned a bit of a painful lesson. Last week, I had a paper due. I put a lot of thought and effort into it. A bit too much perhaps, my paper was six pages instead of the assigned three.
The issue area my paper was on just had more that needed to be covered. I got the essay back today and received a grade of A-. Not bad, but a bit disappointing that the only thing wrong with my paper was that it was "way too long". All that extra work not only didn't pay off, it actually hurt my grade. I would have gotten a better grade if I threw together a three page paper. Lesson learned.

Jog to Jogging
Today I fell asleep after my alarm went off. Thankfully, I had hit the snooze button so it went off again shortly. This caused me to be running late to my jogging class. I had to jog to get to my jogging class on time. I actually had to jog to get to my next class on time as well. Although I didn't get to class before the bell rang, I did get there before the professor. I need to allow a little more time, or a lot more time, from now on.

Back to Business
Today I returned to college. The normal car to train station, train to bus station, bus to Bellingham, and a walk to my dorm. Thankfully, I finished all my homework on my way home earlier, so I was able to relax today. I am not really looking forward to an 8:00am jogging class tomorrow to welcome me back to college.

Weekend Waning
Today was my last full day home. Tonight, I helped at a charity event for my father's school. Helping at the event was actually the reason I came home this weekend in the first place. I've had a great weekend home, and am not really looking forward to leaving back to college in 11 hours.

Soccer, Half, and Golf Shots
Today was a busy day. Instead of going to class, I helped teach a PE class. I can't remember the last time I had to do so much yelling, not in a bad way, just in a talking so everyone spread out across the field can hear me sort of way.
I also went to coffee with my family and grandparents. It was nice to see them. I even tried having a coffee drink. After coffee, my father and I went golfing. It was great. We both played well overall, and each hit some amazing shots. It is nice to be home.
