So I have this week off of school which is awesome, but I think I'm getting a cold. Or according to my parents my dad's "flu". But I've never heard of a flu with no flu symptoms only cold symptoms. I just wish I wasn't sick during my week off, but I guess its better than being sick and having to go to school. I thought at first it was just my asthma acting up but its been a few days now, so it mustn't be. I did get excused from jury duty by the way, I got the phone call yesterday. So that's good. I guess that's all I have to say.

I got called for jury duty today. Its for a criminal case which freaks me out. But it looks like that because I'm a student I can get out of it, which is good because its a Monday that I am supposed to go in and thats the day I have all my classes, if it was a Tuesday or Thursday I could go but not on a Monday. My mom is so jealous, she wanted me to send them a note saying she'd do it but I don't think she wants to be on a criminal case jury, what if there are graphic photos? She said it wouldn't be bad, that it would just be like CSI but I told her no it wouldn't because these would be real photos. I kinda wouldn't mind doing it, depending on the case but I can't afford to miss school.

Ok, so I got a letter today from someone I used to be friends with a long time ago. (We lost contact a few years ago.)Which is pretty cool, but she is really religious and when we were friends I was quite religious as well...but I'm not anymore. So, here's my problem how can I ask her not to send me religious pamphlets and talk about prayers, etc without hurting her feelings or having her try to "save" me? I respect her religion and other other based on love and peace but I'm not sure she'll respect my decision. I want to write her back but I don't know what to say....I just needed to get that out there, I have another pretty religious friend so I'll ask her opinion when I see her tomorrow.

I think I just won't mention anything to do with religion and maybe she'll take the hint.

Hey,

So I had my presentation yesterday and it went pretty well. And then we had a dinner and dance last night, which was so much fun. Does anyone know if there a way to make a video brighter after its been filmed? I have a really good/ pretty embarrassing one of all my profs but its kinda dark. The dance didn't really go on too late, I left at around 12:15 and the only people left were the ones I was hanging out with all night, we were some of the only ones dancing there wasprobably 10-15 people still there when I left. Considering there had been over 100 previously thats pretty lame. I'm pretty tired right now and I still need to do some reading for tomorrow.

Ok, so I'm really freaking out over my presentation tomorrow...but with it being at 8:30 maybe that many people won't be there yet. I don't think any of my friends are coming but chances are one om my classmates will be there so I should have a familiar face to look at. I'm over the fact my moderator is from UBC though, since he's from UBC Okanogan which is just a satellite school of theproper one in Vancouver. I'm kinda surprised he's coming though since they hate us because we're a stand alone university and they're not and we were both raised from colleges at the same time. Plus our cities are rivals in everything. Oh well, I guess he's bigger than all of that. I think I'm going to read over my presentation one more time...

Wish me luck.
