Welcome

Hello and welcome to the new home of "Audaces Fortuna Iuvat." I'm very excited to see what "Blogger" has to offer, and I'm anxious to get settled. Thanks for your patience and understanding as we made the move. I'm looking forward to writing here! Here's what's been going on over the last week-ish.

On Thursday I started going out with EH, but unfortunately it didn't last. I'll admit that I fell for her, but apparently she didn't feel the same way about me. On Monday I got a note that read:


David -

I don't want to go out with you anymore. I liked it better when we were friends. I hope you understand.

- E

I was pretty ticked to say the least about how she broke up with me - a note, and she couldn't even deliver it herself. For all the of the couples out there, before you go out with someone, make sure you care about them enough to do the break up properly. She never gave any reason that I had done something horribly wrong, or that I had somehow deserved this.



My Monday drastically improved, though. That evening was another Spell Bowl meet, and it was fabulous. Alwaysbored, KF, and Pandaguy are great spellers and better friends; I had a lot of fun. Not to mention we totally kicked butt. Congrats to Alwaysbored on her ribbon-winning, near perfect round (8/9). I didn't do too bad either, I don't think (9/9). =)




Here are some words from Monday's competition:






  • irascibility

  • Dostoyevsky

  • summa cum laude

  • solemnization

  • misspelled =)

  • indefatigability

  • salicylic

  • theobromine

  • Lancashire

  • marquisette (¡we rock Alwaysbored!)

  • persona non grata




I think the tampon dispenser was your cue.


  • bishopric

  • prestidigitation

  • helminth

  • cedilla

  • miscibility

  • sanguinarily

  • beadle

  • kinescope

  • hermetically

  • couturier

  • periheleon

  • ampoule

  • logarithmic function

  • Aristotelian

  • bacchanal

  • inimitable

  • Hippocrates


Tuesday and Wednesday were, well, in word, sleepy. I have been so tired this week, and I have a debate in Indy on Saturday. I took today off. Mostly it was because I wasn't feeling to well when I woke up, but I also thought today would be one of those days when I can get more done at home than at school. I have pretty much everything I need for today. I'm having my brother pick up just a couple things for me, but besides that, I'm set for the day. My room could use a good cleaning, too, and the blog needed to be launched. All in all, it just looked like a good day to stay home.

Awww... thanks! It makes me smile, too. That was such a blast; maybe even better than East Noble, I think. It's depressing to think that this third one might be our last for the year. =(
