going back to byu soon and almost losing laptop

There have been so many books that I've been wanting to read lately. I'll put a list here:

Artemis Fowl
GRE Words
GRE Practice
Linguistics
Steve's design patterns book

And, I want to read all of these books in three weeks.

No way it's goign to happen... i don't think. I will probably have more time next week after the byu girls leave, but still...

I need to return the amazon library books i borrowed. I've been bad and haven't returned them yet. grah!

I really really relaly enjoy reading. a lot. I realy regret not reading as much in high school. I made the library a kind of off-limits area that I never went to. I regarded it as a territory that I never wanted to explore. I regret that decision. I realy do. It made me stupid, dumb and not able to explain myself or my positions as well as I would like. I want to put that aside now. I want to read all I can. I don't have enough time to read. I hate computer games.

When I was younger... in high school and middle school, I spent way too much time playing computer games when I could have been engaged in more academically challenging endeavors. I made myself stupid sitting in front of the computer screen and wasting hour after hour after hour. I regret not improving myself and being so greedy. If I have one regret about my adolescent years, that would be it... not reading enough. I can't analyze arguments in a paper or follow the argument in a paper as well as I should because of this.

I miss Seth. He's a lot of fun to be around. He left on Saturday to go back to Colorado. Now, I'm left with Stan and Peter.

I invited Jackie to family home evening tonight. She's coming. That should be fun to be able to see her at family home evening. I'm really not very sure what I feel about her at this point. She's fun. she's cool. She's smart. but, at times i feel like she gets a bit impatient with people.... i'll have to see about her.

i'll add more later on. fhe calls.
