September 15th-Day 15

Today started my four-day break from school (gotta love getting off for all the Jewish holidays :]) and took a trip up to see my wonderful girlfriend Allie and see her play volleyball. Its feels great to be able to have a break from school and my family, as much as I love them. That being said, I didn't practice any card tricks or random skills, but was still able to exercise and meet new people. Today I'm going to write about my best friend Connor Nolan. When we first became friends in our Junior year, I was an anti-social kid with few close friends and didn't go out much. But thanks to him, I have started to come out of my shell and we have had the best adventures together. From getting lost in Europe, to acting as a gay couple in Curtains, to having the best chemistry allowing us to save our Senior year show, A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum. If I ever need somebody to talk to he is there for me and I'll never be able to forget the experiences we have shared with each other. I don't know what my life would be like if we hadn't become friends and he has had more of an impact than anyone else on who I am. I am so thankful that he came into my life and has changed it forever. Connor, thank you for all that you've done for me. I love you man

September 14th-Days 13 & 14

Not every day can be perfect and off-days are bound to happen. Today was one of those days, but its alright because it got better as the day progressed. I didn't do too much on my list today, yesterday was much better. Although I did get to know a bunch of new people in my volleyball class which was good. Also the face that I drew looked semi-realistic. I can just look toward tomorrow and work hard to do better.

September 4th-Day 4

Today started out rainy but I kept positive and the day turned out all right. I enjoyed all three of my classes and got all my homework for tomorrow done. I read a bit more of Hard Times again today and am understanding more of the themes that Dickens is presenting to the reader. I started to practice a new card trick which is coming along well and I practiced some slight of hand tricks with coins as well. I went on the chat site Omegle to talk to a random person because I am still nervous about approaching a random stranger and starting a conversation. I ended up talking to a man who is about to finish up his time serving in the US Army. We talked about how very few people make the sacrifice to serve this great country and fight for all we live for. It reminded me of all the times I sang patriotic songs at the VA and how honored I felt to do this for the veterans. I am forever thankful to all those who serve in the armed forces of the USA and protect what we as a nation believe in. Today the random person I came up with is Lars Farber. He and I have had some great times over the past years from playing volleyball in middle school to after-prom of my senior year. He is now a freshman at James Madison University and I wish him the best of luck in his endeavors. I'll never forget the adventures of after-prom and all the laughs we have shared. Until tomorrow, here's to life
