I have successfully found the source of one of the best feelings in the world. Contacting a charitable organization and telling them you would like to donate a large sum of money. I get to do that with seven groups this week. The money came from parking cars during the college football season. In total, we donated $8,500 to eight groups. For more info, I'd be glad to talk to you in person about them, or fundraising in general. If you need any help raising money, give me a call and I'm sure we can figure something out.

School is off to a pretty good start. I'm still adjusting a little bit to having reading for homework instead of math or physics problems. The discussions are also completely different. Opinions and feeling are more involved, and not so much anymore hard proven facts. I hope I still have an opportunity to learn in both ways.

Things I've started and hope to finish (new year's resolutions, if you will):
-Losing weight. It's just got to happen. Feel free to haggle me to make sure I've gotten outside for a little bit each day.
-Learning to play the guitar. I think it could be a lot of fun. And can you say 'chick magnet' (assuming I can muster up the voice to go with it).

That's all for now. I've got some reading to do.
