**THE FOLLOWING IS A TRUE STORY**

 

Today started for me at sometime close to 4 in the morning. I awoke to a strange sound. The sound seemed to be of some sort of animal making a whining noise as well as the noise it made while rustling around somewhere in my room near the closet. I said "Dog" in a questioning tone to see if it was my dog. (My parents named him Einstein because he could fetch and pee outside when we got him but none of us kids liked the name so we just call him Dog.) Dog was not in my room. I listened again and still heard the noise. I was now awake enough to know that the noise was not a part of some strange dream I was just interrupted from. It was real. The sound was coming from somewhere along the east wall (my room is in the northeast corner of the basement of my house) of my room. There is a window well on that wall, perhaps something had gotten in through there. I knew the noise was not from outside. It sounded too close. All of these thoughts ran threw my mind in a few seconds and I knew I had to determine what the noise was. I reached to my cluttered night stand and flipped on the light that I use for reading before I go to bed. This light is far from bright but it was a stark contrast from just before when the room was almost pitch dark, lit only by small amount of red light radiating from my clock. As soon as the beams of light filled the room I examined it. After my eyes had fully adjusted I scanned the room again. I could see nothing out of place, though it would be hard to tell with the mess my room is. I got out of bed to survey the room. Everything seemed to be where it was when I went to bed only hours before but the noise persisted. I stood in the center of my room facing east and the noise sounded right in front of me. I crouched down to browse through some things on the floor. While I was ducked down to move some things around the noise seemed to be above my head. I looked to the window and realized the noise was coming from the window but yet one way or another not from outside. I cautiously raised the blinds to see a rabbit. The rabbit was not outside my window, nor was inside. It was in between the screen and the window. The window was shut but the screen had been slightly open. Somehow the rabbit had found the way in the screen but could not find its way out. Carefully I opened the window slightly on the right side, while making sure the rabbit would not get inside, I unlatched the screen. Closing the right side I proceeded to the left side and unlatched to other half of the screen. Once the screen was unlatched I pushed it out away from the window. This frightened the now liberated rabbit and it ran off into the night. I closed the window, laid back down, and turned off the light. The room was again quiet and dimly light by the red glow of my alarm clock. I was soon asleep again.

 

Yeah that is how my day started. i woke up later and thought i heard the same noise again but this time it was a dream. that happened a few times.

 

my day at school was preatty normal. started a presentation on taxes and savings for econ. presentations for johnsen are always fun. got some nice pictures for this one along with the standard picture of an old person crossing sign that i have used in every presentation for him. the first presentaion bob and i did for him was on aarp. from then on we (or i) have worked the picture into every slide show done in gov and econ.its fun.

 

after school i went to the social security office to get a new card. mine got stolen a few years back in nashville when my wallet got stolen. you need a ss card to donate plasma for biolife so i had to get a new one. 

 

tonight my dad and i went to see

 

THE INTERPRETER: good movie overall. it had a nice plot and a few good action sequences. not enough to call it an action movie. it storyline makes you think. for those of you who have not heard of it a UN interpreter (nicole kidman) over hears plans of an assination. as the plot unfolds it was sort of easy (at least for me) to decern what was going to happen next. you could see one step ahead but no more. still a good story. there is even a love story in there for you girls. i would recommened it. it might not be worth 7 dollars to all of you but when it hits the cheep seats it is a definate go see. 3.5 out of 5 stars.

 

QUESTION: no one has gotten the bridge one yet so look below. courtney's (the second one) made me laugh so 30 points for her.
