20... and go

so today marks the day that i shed my image as an awkward angry teenager. i can feel it already. i feel more intellectual i feel more attractive i feel as if i have grown more muscular and i feel like i an all around better person.
of course i felt all this happen at exactly midnight. it was an incredible moment.

i ushered out my teenage years by going to a concert, very fitting. i saw armor for sleep underoath and taking back sunday. i enjoyed myself immensly. i thought during taking back sunday's set, "what better way to usher out my teenage years than seeing the band that i loved in high school and listened to when i was depressed about a girl." there was no better way. every member of taking back sunday has more stage presence than i could pray for. they are a treat for the eyes. underoath is always intense and awesome, but i have seen them put on better performances. armor for sleep owned the crowd which totally surprised me. it was a great show to say the absolute least.

i returned to dordt college a new man. i had a test a t 9 am this morning which was a major joykill. i ended up staying up till 3:30 studying for it, but i feel that it was worth it. i planned on waking up early to study more. i set my alarm for 7 and somehow managed to disengage my alarm without even knowing it in the morning. that is scary. i woke up at 8 and had no idea how i missed my alarm. i hope that doesn't happen again.

so i am 20 now. time to get a wife.
