Hello everyone and welcome back into the head of me, Matt O'Dell. The past few days, I have been at Illinois High School Theatre Festival. I was down there with my school from Thursday to Saturday. It was frickin freezing down there at U of I. By the end of the few days, we were ready to kill our sponsor. She was made many bad decisions by telling the bus driver to meet us at bad times and bad places, so we either froze our asses off or had to stay at places where we didn't want to be for hours. Ho yeah, and the sponsor was constantly late for everything.
    Then thank god we got home on Saturday. We arrived home at about 9:30. All I wanted to do was go and see my girlfriend, whom I haven't seen since Tuesday, but of course she was babysitting her sister and I couldn't come over. Also, while I was on the phone with her, she wasn't paying attention to me, all she wanted to do was talk to her friend. So I wanted to leave to catch up on some sleep that I've missed the past few nights, and she got mad at me cause she wanted to talk even though she wasn't talking to me. Then next thing I know, she's hung up on me. Today, I called her and apologized cause I wasn't in the mood for fighting. I told her about how I was bored out of my mind, and she told me about all she could do is study for finals. That was it (nice conversation, ehh?).
    Next, tomorrow is my birthday, and it looks like I will be celebrating it by doing nothing. My parents are getting me a scanner, so soon there will be pics of me up here. Right now, I'm bored out of my fricking mind, just like when I called my girlfriend. Also, something that's cool is that Roosevelt University, one of my favorite collage jazz bands, sent me their new CD. That's all of the news that I have. I'll write you all more soon. C-ya.
