9:30pm - I’m going to go for the night. I’ll be back tomorrow at 9:30pm with 25. I’m way too pooped to keep monitoring for tonight. Have a good night, everyone!

Man Causing Ruckus On Wolfram, Shots Fired @ Belden/Keystone

Good morning, everyone, it's 4:57am. It's a mostly cloudy morning, but clearing up, with temps in the 40s. Today will be in the mid 60s with mostly sunshine. I'm sorry for such a long hiatus in my posting, guys. These last few weeks have been the roughest weeks of my life so far, and with my mother being sick and everything, I haven't had time to do much of everything. Thankfully, she is doing so much better. And, there's a light at the end of the tunnel for me coming this coming week. Thursday is my LAST day of this semester for school, thank God. My time management skills have been the worst this semester, which has unfortunately spilled into my schoolwork. I took my Physical Science final yesterday, as that course was a Friday class (and all Friday credit classes at my school ended as of yesterday), and ended up with a C for the course. It was close to a B, which I really wanted, but at least I passed the exit exam for the course and ultimately passed the course, which means I won't have to take another Science class for the rest of my college career :). Also took my Criminal Justice final on Thursday, but I'm sure I did good on that one, and I believe I'm passing the class. I just have to put the last of my effort now into my Spanish and Humanities classes this weekend and into the week, then I'll finally be done. Anyway, and lastly, I'm monitoring 25 today. I plan on monitoring most of the day until my dinner. With that, here's crime for today.
