+	<p>first day of college?<br>
+	it wasnt /so/ bad i guess..<br>
+	the compsci class seems pretty dang easy<br>
+	from the syllabus, so i cant wait to knock it out<br>
+	tho of course that advantage wont last long..<br>
+	the other class today the professor didnt show up so..<br>
+	yea?<br>
+	<br>
+	using the computer has gotten a lot more annoying lately<br>
+	since my brother insists on constantly hanging out in the room<br>
+	and messing with me and it drives me crazy and i just want him<br>
+	to leave and thank god hes in the other room rn so i can write<br>
+	this without looking over my shoulder every 5 words
