The week of May 8th

Journal #4

Hey, it's been a few weeks since I posted one of these. School is out for the summer, and moving out and coming home has been pretty hectic. Finally, I had the time to sit down and have a conversation with you and I couldn't be happier.

For starters, just this past Tuesday I had my wisdom teeth taken out. I spent most of the week recovering from that, as well as eating various liquids with a spoon as my eating habits were hampered by the surgery. But, now I am beginning to be able to eat normal foods again and I couldn't be happier. While I did lose some weight from my limited diet, it was not worth the small list of things I had to pick from.

Later, I finally made it back into Detroit. I really love spending time down there, and I wanted to replace the bike of mine which was stolen on campus this semester. It filled me with a lot of pride to replace it with a Detroit Bike. It is a local brand which crafts every part of their machines in the city, and supporting a small business like that makes me fall in love with the city even more. Plus, it is an awesome bike, which I will be protecting with my life.

That is pretty much everything I have to say about the time since my last entry, besides the fact that I am now a manager at my job. This responsibility is a fun experience, which I hope I can gain a lot from. I hope all of the mothers out there had a splendid mothers day, and I wish everyone an amazing week.

-Jack
