Smile

So, Ya.

It's been a few days. I was going to post, but my computer got attacked by a swarm of viruses and had to be sent to futureshop. Anyways. Not much has happened. I've had like 24 hours of work since the last time I blogged... Including 1.5 hours as a court steward. (I will explain)

So. Thursday. The wake. Lots of people, mostly older people, crying. Except for David's family. They were all smiling. It almost made me cry. Afterwards, to get home I had to bus back. A few other guys were going to bus back too, so I went with them. The thing is one of them lives in Barhaven and wanted to go to the gym (back near school) to get his mind off of it. So, we went to his house and waited outside the door watching some little kids try throwing a small ball into a basketball net. He took a while. We then walked to fallowfield station.

Anyways, I got home, at about 5, to find out that the computer was no longer funtioning. There was a mountain of "The exe file is corrupted" messages whenever you tried doing anything, so... ya... I also had a softball game. My parents didn't know. So as I'm going with my mom to futureshop, my dad was rushing to make dinner.

I didn't eat it until after softball. I wanted to get to softball for 6 to warm up and practice with RT and i don't like running on a full stomach. I also wasn't hungry. The game didn't go well, but it was still fun. I kept getting walked... I really want to hit one this year.

So, ya. Friday. The Funeral. The schedule had been changed so that everyone could go. There was also a yellow bus. So, as we are walking to the church (literally down the road from school) the bus comes up behind us and pulls over. Our principal leans out and says there's enough room on the bus and he was willing to let us ride with no permission forms. We decided to walk.

The funeral was really awesome. Everyone was kinda sad, but still happy. This is because of the hope they have been given by God. One eulogy was by a cousin who went to "PK retreats" (Pastor's kids) because they were both pastor's kids. The thing that everyone had been saying all this week was that David had a strong faith and that he was in heaven. His cousin said that at the retreat when they were about to leave David wouldn't say goodbye, only see you later. She said something like "I won't be seeing you tommorow or the next day or next week, I'm leaving" and he still wouldn't say goodbye. "We won't see each other for months, what if you die before then..?" To which he said "Even then, it's still only see ya later."

As long as can get to heaven I will see David again. It's actually really helped. It's also helped in resisting temptation. David was so awesome.

Right after the funeral, the clouds that had been in the sky all day, grey and kinda depressing, went away and it became sunny. It was like "Ok, time to stop crying. Smile."

Anyways, I was supposed to work Friday. So, I had tried emailing the other court steward, but he often doesnt reply to his emails in a timely manner and so, you never know... On the way home I went through the park to get home. My boss was there and he wasn't, so ya. This was the first time I was going to work this year, so she went over everything and ya, same thing pretty much.

So, my phone had died a while back... I used the phone in the tennis lodge to call home saying I was at work from 4:30-8:30. It was 5:15 when I called.

So. I said 1.5 hours as court steward. Ya, so on Wednesday, at the "assembly" HC told everyone that their Youth Group was open to everyone that Friday. I had heard it was from 7-8.

I had been thinking of going to it and was annoyed by work being at the same time as everything. I really wanted to go. There was no one at the courts anyway... So, I kinda ditched work.

It started as any YF. "Starting at 7". Basketball game until 7:30, then it actually started. There was worship and then the youth pastor said a bunch ofthings about David and Jon. Then more worship and praying.

I left at 9:15 and ran home. I thought I would be home at like 8:40 because I thought it was going to end at 8. Whatever. I got home at like 9:30.

Saturday morning I did a Japanese project in about 2 hours went to school where I wrote that project on a large piece of paper and then went to work.

Sunday I went to church then went to work.

Yesterday, at band we found out that our teacher would be away that week, including the concert, again. Some boring stuff happened. In physics we got our tests back... The whole class was complaining. It was pretty bad. Also, I had to do the lab after school. Had To. Last Chance. Mr. RT had offered after school Friday, but clearly there was a funeral, and we only missed it because of the wake... I know extending it after he had complained about people not getting labs in months after they were due and saying this time it would have no extensions would have been kinda hypocritical, but really... someone died.

I was forced to miss jazz band. It was cancelled because of low attendance.

I had work that night, so he gave me a slight extension, but I wasn't supposed to tell anyone.

So, ya. When I got home from work, the computer was back. I went to watch One Piece. I also watched Bleach. Bleach episode 270 is SOOOOO great! So, ya, the computer was back, but my brother had taken the keyboard and speakers... It was like 10:30. I'm not gonna walk into his room and take a keyboard and speakers... I used my earphones and used my mouse to get there. That little down arrow in the address bar got me to animecrazy and then it was easy.

So. Today..? Physics "Field trip" kinda boring. No one in my class is going into physics. So at Carleton, they were giving a presentation on Physics at Carleton. They asked if any of us were going into Physics. lol.

It took me an hour to get back to school and i ran a good deal of it. Getting on a random bus is not usually a good idea, but it's very fun, despite it wasting my time.

Anyways. You are caught up and I don't feel like I owe you anything now.

Ttyl.
