Bud, Mango and Rain

How y'all doing, It is Friday right now, and I just got back from playing mandolin at a Catholic event. My week is finally over, and tonight I am going to go out and do something fun for a change.



So, with the week and spring Semester almost over I think now would be a good time to give my over all opinion of college.. I can do it.. There you go. It can be boring hard at times, and at other times it can be wickedly easy, fun and interesting. If my parents will keep paying for me to go, I don't see any problems. Like anything, I suppose what you get out of it depends on what you put in. Next year, I am going to try to get my GPA up to something good, and really invest in all my classes because when you work hard and do a good job at anything, be it a paper or a wood floor and take pride in your work, it can be quite fulfilling.

Speaking of wood floors, I called EC Floor Sanding today and got the answering machine. It barked angrily at me in it's extremely heavy regional dialect to leave a message, before Mrs. EC picked up the phone. It seems that they will be happy to have me back, as long as they have plenty of jobs, which hopefully they will.

I have nothing to do for half an hour, and I want to save some topics for other posts, so why not talk about books? I just got an amazon gift card for $5o from a relative. I used it to buy "Magical Catholicism" by Vito Quattrocchi, which is about the folk magic of southern Italy, and the pre christian influence on Italian Catholicism as well as the practices of Benedicaria. It promises to be interesting. I bought it because of the stories my mom told me about the scary woman who lived downstairs from her growing up. She was called Lucrezz' and promised to cure everything from tape worms to the evil eye with garlic and holy water. I also used the card to buy a stiletto (knife) and "Common Sense 101: Lessons from G.K. Chesterton" as well as a set of uncorrodable mandolin strings.

I hope you have a very nice weekend, and a week that will not make you wish it was the weekend again. Just remember that whenever possible save your breath for cooling your porridge, and make sure you don't buy a caravan with no wheels...
