Book Review: The Real Thing

Recently I have been reading a book called The Real Thing: Truth and Power at the Coca-Cola Company.  I would like to write a review on it because I find it to be very interesting.  It's all about the history of the Coca-Cola Company.  If you're not a huge coke fan, you won't find it very interesting.  I'm not a coke fanatic but I did enjoy many of the interesting factoids that were sprinkled throughout the book.

Movie Review: Never Back Down

Never Back Down is a movie about a high school boy that lost his father in a drunk driving accident.  He moves to a new town in Florida and he gets beaten up by a jock that runs an underground fight club.  He joins a gym and trains and eventually beats the kid.  WARNING: This movie contains multiple scenes of graphic violence, and I do not recommend this movie to anyone who is sensitive to violence as one of the main themes is fighting.  I give the movie a 3/5

Timing For the Friday Swim Meet

Well today I was supposed to time for the DYC mini-meet, but I am just way too tired to do it.  I'm just staying at home and lounging.  More to come, read the archives.

Done With the Second Week

Well.  It's official.  I'm now done with the second week and it feels great!!

Yesterday's Swim Team Thing

So yesterday I get home exhausted from summer school and all I want to do is take a nice long nap.  Unfortunately, I remember that I had previously agreed to time for the swim meet that day so I went down to the club to do that.  When I get there however, I find that I didn't have to time that one at all.  I had to time the meet on Friday of this week.  I was so ticked off about the whole thing.  Oh well I guess it got me out of the house right?  :)

Second week of summer school

Today marked the beginning of the second week of summer school.  It wasn't to bad today in the weather department, however it's impossible to truthfully say that I am enjoying doing algebra from eight o'clock to two. Did I mention that there is either a test or a quiz everyday???  Well there is.  I'll keep you updated on the happenings in that class.

Up north for the last time

Well I'm going to get on the road and head up north with my family any minute now, so I thought that I'd scribble this post down and type it when I got time.  This will likely be the last time that I'll ever see my dad's mother's vacation home in Harbor Springs.  I'm so depressed about it.  It will probably be a stressful trip since we're taking home a lot of the stuff in the home.  I cherish many good memories there.  I'll talk more later Got to go.  Read the archives!!!!

Done with the first week

I'm finally done with the first week of summer school.  I have to admit that it was something to do, and I'm very happy that my GPA is benefitting from this grade improvement.  I'm not excited however, about the fact that I am spending time at school during the summer months.  Let's just hope that the next week whizzes by!

1st Day of Summer School

Today was the first day of summer school.  The kids are pretty cool and my teacher is great.  I'm not looking forward to coming there everyday though.  I am going to miss my sleep.

Happy Birthday USA

Happy Birthday USA!!!  Enjoy this day fellow Americans.  July 4th of 1776 is one of the most important days in history.
