the clouds looked strange this morning. they looked angry. there is a front coming through and it’s supposed to rain for the next few days, but i have never seen such oddly angry clouds.
i talked to nick not once, but twice this weekend. it was nice. i miss him. i cannot wait to go visit; yesterday at barnes and noble i bought a guide to the provence region of france, and i’m going to look through it to find lots of cool places to visit. i’m pretty sure we’ve already decided to visit marseille and a little town that is sort of like venice…but i also want to find some neat things to do during the day while he is in class.
i’ve decided that i need to get this scholarship that he has. the rotary people over there are always planning cool activities; this weekend he got to go pick olives! how completely french. {sigh} ah, it sounds like a wonderful life. i am so excited to visit.
the other thing he told me is that i am the coolest girl ever because i can say “yeah, so jason and i went to the batting cages…” without batting an eyelash. ha. i mentioned this to carter, who agreed that i get a lot of bonus points for being sports-literate. funny that i get bonus points for something i would do anyway. 🙂 too bad that i still wasn’t batting very well though…
overall it was a really good weekend though. and last night i ran 3 miles in 29:55. YEAH!! under 10:00 pace!!
(10:52 a.m.)
someone got shot last night in the ghetto apartment complex next door to my nice apartment complex, and this morning i found the news briefing online that fleshed out the details:
Man shot in apartment robbery remains critical
A Webster man was shot at home Sunday in what police said was a narcotics-related robbery.
The 23-year-old victim was shot once in the jaw about 5:30 p.m. in a back room of his apartment in the 1100 block of Camino Village. He was taken by Life Flight helicopter to Memorial Hermann Hospital in critical condition, Webster police said.
The suspects, identified only as four men and a woman, were invited into the apartment by the victim. They were still at large later Sunday, Webster police said.
now, i knew the complex next door was sketchy, but this makes me a bit uneasy.
