You are not worth the expense.

"For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs"

Senor Scollon used to always tell us that the love for money was the greatest evil.
And the one thing we should always be looking out for.
He could not have been more right.
And today I feel it.


I received a care package from Brookwood, [specifically, Marilyn Asklund].
It could not have come at a better moment in my day.
I was upset and getting to pick up a package from the mail room was some what of a relief.
And I realized that maybe the whole world was not out to get me.



First math tomorrow, and I have my doubts about it.
I have gone through all my homework assignments and re-did all of them.
And I don't feel comfortable about any of them.
Math is not, and will not ever be my niche.


Rowing is still going well.
I have a meeting tonight at eight, to fill out NCAA forms and get a jersey.
And a hat.
We get shirts in a couple weeks, long and short sleeves.

Next to my desk I have a bulletin board that always makes me smile.
On it is a picture of Ike that Rosie gave me, Polaroids of Melissa and I, and Adam and I, a picture of Dan, Zakk and I, Matt and I and Nico and I.


Abbie and I.

I just have to keep telling myself that this particular struggle is only temporary, and happiness is mandatory.
