Eddo on... Really Bad Decisions

Well, we all make them don't we? I mean, there was that time when I was in the 12th grade and one of my closest buds was sitting next to me in speech class, we were all sitting on these benches in the band room and the teacher was asking us questions. Jimmy stood up to answer a question and I thought- "Wouldn't it be funny if when Jimmy sat down, if he sat on my pen!" Thinking that I had the reflexes of a fish, or some other quick animal, I put my plan into action by holding my pen in my fist and I thought as soon as his right butt cheek hit the pencil he would jump up. Unfortunately, he sat down really fast, the pen poked a hole in his pants, and punctured his buttocks. I felt really bad.

Then there was that time I was burning trash in the country, and I accidentally set the yard on fire.

And did I mention that time I caught a towel on fire in the kitchen, put the towel out, and then I set it on the floor not realize that the towel was still on fire and it burned a big whole in the linoleum.

Well, this list could go on forever.

Anyway, over time you start to realize what is a good decision and what is a bad decision. Today I decided to make a smart, and therefore, good decision. I am waiting to student teach, I am staying at Texas Instruments, I am not spending the money for classes.

Who wants to be so busy when the holidays are coming? Why get in a hurry and spend money that I don't have, and stress myself out for something that I am not even going to get to use until next fall? Why make contacts now that will forget about me by the fall of 2004? So, that's it- my first good decision of year 2003.
