So I have this week off of school which is awesome, but I think I'm getting a cold. Or according to my parents my dad's "flu". But I've never heard of a flu with no flu symptoms only cold symptoms. I just wish I wasn't sick during my week off, but I guess its better than being sick and having to go to school. I thought at first it was just my asthma acting up but its been a few days now, so it mustn't be. I did get excused from jury duty by the way, I got the phone call yesterday. So that's good. I guess that's all I have to say.

I got called for jury duty today. Its for a criminal case which freaks me out. But it looks like that because I'm a student I can get out of it, which is good because its a Monday that I am supposed to go in and thats the day I have all my classes, if it was a Tuesday or Thursday I could go but not on a Monday. My mom is so jealous, she wanted me to send them a note saying she'd do it but I don't think she wants to be on a criminal case jury, what if there are graphic photos? She said it wouldn't be bad, that it would just be like CSI but I told her no it wouldn't because these would be real photos. I kinda wouldn't mind doing it, depending on the case but I can't afford to miss school.

Ok, so I got a letter today from someone I used to be friends with a long time ago. (We lost contact a few years ago.)Which is pretty cool, but she is really religious and when we were friends I was quite religious as well...but I'm not anymore. So, here's my problem how can I ask her not to send me religious pamphlets and talk about prayers, etc without hurting her feelings or having her try to "save" me? I respect her religion and other other based on love and peace but I'm not sure she'll respect my decision. I want to write her back but I don't know what to say....I just needed to get that out there, I have another pretty religious friend so I'll ask her opinion when I see her tomorrow.

I think I just won't mention anything to do with religion and maybe she'll take the hint.
