This week, I won an award at Dale Carnegie as the most improved speaker for the week. Also, my teacher told me that some members of the class have said that they wished that they could get to know me better. (I smoke on breaks, so I don't have much chance to socialize. I guess I'll try to smoke less or more quickly, and come back in.) So I walked out of there on a real high.

The battle with my friend is still ongoing. I asked to talk to him about what happened, telling him that I didn't want to fight with him, but that I wanted to understand his point of view because it seemed to be so different than mine, and he grudgingly said "Okay." However, a couple of hours later, he made an append about a mistake I had made to a public forum--which he never does--so I guess things are not okay after all. I'm trying not to let it drag me down. I'm telling myself that the best thing that I can do right now is to stay focused, work on the place because it buys me more options, and try to make friends at Dale Carnegie.

I finally dragged myself back to the gym after not going for a couple weeks, so that's good.

I received my violin tuner and rosin, and will try the violin later today. I'm excited....
