When it Rains, Not Only Does it Pour, But Daniel is Nearly Struck by Lightning

Dear Blog,

Here I am, writing late at night again. I've already made four typos in the first sentence, so I know I shouldn't try to write a novella today. Then again, not too much happened, so I think I'm safe.

The 2010 FIFA World Cup Final took place today. Spain beat the Netherlands 1-0 in overtime. A pretty fun game. Nearly 50 people showed up to our program. A huge success! I'm quite glad. And I made really cool fact sheets about Spain. Only a couple of people actually picked them up, but that's okay. I'm proud of my work, nonetheless.

A few hours after the game, an intense storm came through Springfield. Probably the strongest storm I've ever seen here in Missouri. Lightning struck a tree in the parking lot and brought down a huge branch. I went to make sure no one was hurt by the fallen tree and subsequently became incredibly soaked. My shoes are still wet and I plan to wash clothes tomorrow to deal with the constant wardrobe changes I've been forced to make because of the water.

My Xbox 360 is quite awesome. It is incredibly quiet, but I fear that it runs far too hot. I'll check online tomorrow to see if it is supposed to expel so much heat from it's vents. Expulsion of heat is good, but is it bad in my case? Who knows... well, probably the Internet. That is, if the Internet is still around.

I think I shall retire to bed now. I hope tomorrow leads to a short class and lots of gaming time for me. Perhaps I should start watching some Classical Mythology lectures, too?

If I become a successful writer, tell me to write a novel outside of my genre, because by then, I'll need the challenge.

Until next time!
-Daniel Golden
