Season 1 of Heroes ended tonight...

I just...

Don't know what I'm going to do anymore...

This article really sums up how I felt, actually. And about all these unanswered questions.

Also, I didn't realize that Hiro saw his father on the horse. That's actually really awesome.

Tonight was the last night of my math class that I took at NHCTC Manchester... It was a fun class, and I actually had someone to talk to for the duration (her name is Sandra), and I think I did fairly well. I'll be able to see my grades online in a day or so.

I really want to take another class this summer, one in digital photography, but I have to give it some major thought since it will cost like $600. I need to look into financial aid, maybe I can cover the entire thing with a grant.

So, my weekend turned out differently than expected, but was still exceedingly awesome. I got out of work much too late on Friday, and thus did not make it to AJs in time to head to PA (I have yet to ask him how that was).

Anyway, I started off Saturday doing tons of yard work, which is usually pretty fun for me. The lawn looks nice now.

After that I went to Ben's apartment for the first time, for a Cinco de Mayo celebration. I was the first one to get there, and Ben and I went for pizza (the pizza place we ate at is the building next to Ben's, a short walk). He lives on the fifth floor though, and the elevator is broken, so we had to take a bunch of winding stairs up. Katy and Sara were there when we got back from eating, and soon after, Ben and I went out in search for a liquor store. We ended up not finding the one that Ben was looking for, and had to go to another one, so it took us a while. We bought Goldschlager, which is really syrupy and cinamonny, and kinda gross, and it has real flakes of gold floating in it for some inane reason.

Anyway, everyone eventually showed up, and fun was had by all (especially me, hijacking Ben's desktop backgrounds with pictures of cats). At some point, someone asked Ben if there was a fire escape on the building, and there was, so someone went out on it. A few minutes later, everyone was yelling that you could see two girls doing... stuff, from the fire escape (I guess they were looking in the window?). Anyway, everyone got out onto the fire escape and started watching these lesbians have sex, and supposedly one of them looked up and saw one of the girls and said something like, "Are you fucking kidding me?" I actually didn't see anything, since I was too tired to move from Ben's apartment, but it reminded me of Ralph's story from the Simpsons, the one about making babies in the closet, and he saw a baby, and it looked at him.

The next morning, I took the Blue line back into Lynn to get my car. I reach my car, and there's a ticket on it. At first, I thought it was for $31.00, and I was flipping out, but whoever had written the amount had made the decimal point super long for some reason. So it was actually three dollars.

After the initial shock, I decided to figure out why the fuck I had a ticket, since I asked the guy on the way into the lot to give me an overnight pass. So I asked the new guy in the booth, and he told me that they had given me a one day pass, for some reason. Ok, whatever. I only had a $10 on me, but I had my tin of change in the car too, so I filled up the little ticket envelope with $3.00 of pennies (mostly Canadian ones, since I keep throwing them back in there when the CoinStar machine filters them out), and put it in the slot. Massachusetts is stupid.

I arrived home later and promptly made plans to go hiking with Mel. Things went off without a hitch and we were on our way (more hours of driving for me). We got to use my stepmom's car though, which is nice, and has a CD player. We ended up going to Mt. Major, which is near Lake Winnipesaukee.

The hike itself is short (1786 ft.), but it's fairly rewarding, offering a good view over the lake and beyond.

There's a ruined fort on the summit of the mountain, and I once knew why it was there, but I really don't know anymore, and I can't seem to find any information on the internet regarding it.

(Mel took this picture)

I did all right going up (I'm still not in the shape I want to be though), but going down, something weird was going on with my right knee (the joint felt all weird). Hopefully it was just a one time thing. Usually spring hiking is muddy and buggy, but this hike was neither, making it an excellent hike overall. Mel was good company.

Now, it's back to work. I think tomorrow is my last class for the semester... speaking of which, I may sign up for a photography class over the summer.

For some reason, when I take naps, I usually wake up in much worse shape than when I fell asleep. I don't know why. When I wake up, I'll usually either be extremely confused for at least an hour (we're talking really bad, like I can barely make conversation) or way more tired than I was in the first place. The worst is when I'm both. And then it messes up my sleeping schedule later that night, because when I take naps I usually sleep for at least three hours for some reason.

Naps suck.
