It was a bit of a shame to see Monday come this morning, after the brilliant weekend that seemed to be had by most of the school's population, myself included. There seem to be some reports to the contrary, but for once they aren't being made by me. Miracle of miracles, Benjamin LeBeau did something spontaneous and childish, and actually enjoyed himself thoroughly in the process.
On the other hand, I feel like I haven't had the opportunity to really spend adequate amounts of time with the people that mean the most to me. Here's hoping that between classes, homework, and other obligations they aren't feeling pushed by the wayside. Maybe it's just my worrisome nature, but I get the feeling that maybe I haven't spread myself out well enough here lately.
But the spring season is officially upon us and I think we're all starting to release some of our stir-crazy energy. I pray that things keep on going as well as they have been the past few days. It's been a welcome break from normal.

Though I'm certain we've all worn our flapping tongues to exhaustion talking about it, I'll say just this: Those who deserve an apology for the way I reacted have been given one. I realize that I probably put myself on a lot of people's bad side with my reaction, but it is what it is. I still feel entirely justified in the way I behaved, and though I'm certainly not proud of what I did, I won't say that I regret it either. So if it's necessary to despise me as a result of the care I showed a friend, then so be it.
I'm sitting here watching ABC News's
What Would You Do? I had almost forgotten about this show entirely, but I just happened to be flipping channels and came across it again. Though slightly canned, it's certainly an interesting premise. Exploring human nature and the tendencies of individuals to act a certain way when put in a given situation. Just how much is an individual willing to take before stepping into a situation?
We all have various buttons that, when pressed in a specific series, cause us to react more aggressively than others would when faced with the same series of events. Superficial relations generally don't lend themselves to the knowledge necessary to ensure that no insult comes; so how then do we best ensure we don't end up doing detriment to a person? Common courtesy only goes so far.
It's a difficult question, and answers don't come easily. It'd be nice if we could all choose to live in a more trusting manner, but I'll be damned if I'm going to trust some of the characters running around this joint.
Ugh. Maybe the answer is to build the walls higher, and hide everything personal at any and all costs.

SIDE EFFECTS OF COLD MEDICATION OVERDOSE:

- Dysrhythmias (abnormal heart or brain rhythms)
- Myocardial infarction (heart attack)
- Ischemic bowel infarction (death of intestine portion after its blood supply is cut off)
- Hypertensive encephalopathy (brain disease resulting in high blood pressure)

I'm sure in your feeble little minds you thought what you were doing was funny, but you were very much mistaken. I can't wait to see how campus authorities respond to your little prank.

My brother Tyrone called this evening from Omaha, Nebraska to report that he has spent the near-entirety of his Spring Break with a family friend seven hours from home. Evidently he's working to help rebuild this friend's old family home and prepare it for sale. Certainly I can't blame him for wanting to escape the treacherous situation that is being the only child at home all day with mom, but that's what makes his question so frustrating.
His reason for calling was to ask if I would be returning home for my own Spring Break.
I feel bad telling the kid no, but I most certainly have no desire to return home and face my share of the trainwreck that is LeBeau family life. I'd much prefer to stay right here where it's nice and comfortable and safe.
Tomorrow is Friday the 13th. Just another high point in the joyous occasion that is living as one Benjamin LeBeau. Here's to hoping I don't fall into the lake or lose my notebook or break my leg or fail a test or...
Ahem.

"Owl," said Rabit shortly, "you and I have brains. The others have fluff. If there is any thinking to be done in this Forest - and when I say thinking I mean thinking - ( you and I must do it. )
