I need to GET MY SHIT TOGETHER. What am I doing? Since when did I miss homework assignments and bomb exams? I'm not even taking a lot of credits. True, I have Greenies and funKtion now, but regardless, I don't find myself that pressed for time that I don't have time to do shit. I'm not swamped -- shit, I've never really felt swamped in my life. Something's going on though, maybe a lag that has carried over from winter break, or maybe a confidence that I can right the ship in the end. But at this present time, I'm worried about my academics. It's not a passing stress, it's a lingering worry. Someone drag my ass to library, please ... like every night.

On a much happier note, my younger brother asked me to be one of the Godfathers of his daughter (my niece, if you couldn't figure that out for yourself), and I, of course, with honor and great pleasure, accepted. This a big step between my brother and I, and I feel literally honored to be someone he would choose. I love my niece, Alexis Brianna, and I love that it is now my religious obligation to see to her happiness and wholesomeness.
