I! I......have been neglecting my journal lately haven't I? I apologize. I suppose that I should make an effort to keep people updated through such a thing...

There...haven't been many developments lately though. What does one say when nothing has really happened?

Tenten! I have been meaning to ask you do do something lately though. It has been a while since we had a friends outing, right?

...It's a bit weird having a lull in my schedule. Things haven't really been that busy lately. Strange...

Maybe I should do something soon... That reminds me! Tenten! Would you like to do something soon? It has been awhile since we got to hang out just the two of us, hasn't it? I'm sure we can think of something fun to do!

A note of my training progress. This is so I do not fall behind in exercising my body while I am attending school to exercise the mind.

Push-ups: 300
Crunches: 215
Lifts: 200
Squats: 145
Punches: 320
Kicks: 325
Miles Run: 6.42

I believe I am doing well, but I must strive to better my counts on all activities.

Aside from training things have been going well. I have been keeping my grades up and at this rate I'll pass will flying colors.

I haven't heard from Sakura or Gaara in a few days....I really hope nothing happened...

Ah...My weekend is oddly free too...would anyone like to do something?

I asked her. I finally did it. It didn't exactly turn out the way I planned...I wasn't even able to ask her in person...

She said no. I'm surprised I'm not that upset over it...maybe it's because she was so nice about it? She wasn't mean, and she said nothing against me or anything. Apparently she doesn't want a relationship right now, and she mentioned that we didn't really know each other that well either- I can respect her reasons.

I won't hold this against her. I'm not angry, and I'm not upset. She's still someone I want as a friend, and I guess that can be enough ne?

(( ooc: Referencing this. Lee finally asked Sakura out, only to be turned down. Note- he thought he made this post private, but actually forgot to change the setting...so uh feel free to comment and make him wonder how you all can see his 'private' entry?))

GROUP OUTING MAY 4 AT 2PM. ENDING WHENEVER :D WE WILL BE MEETING IN FRONT OF GAI-SENSEI'S DOJO. ALL ARE WELCOME TO JOIN US TO CELEBRATE OUR YOUTH!!!! PLEASE COME IF YOU ARE ABLE!!!!!

((Ooc: Just...pretend he posted this Friday/Saturday? :D I was going to spam earlier but real life jumped me))

Things have been go well still. I was able to hang out with Gaara the other day...It was fun, and he does make a great friend. He's easy to talk to...

I'm thinking Greenery Day is an excellent day for the group outing that was sort of planned! It was a very excellent suggestion TenTen! I'll be sure to contact everyone about it soon!

(Note to Sakura, readable to all)

Sakura-chan! Would it be possible to meet with you soon? There's something I've been meaning to talk to you about.

The weather is nice out! It's warm and sunny, and entirely, brilliantly, youthful outside! I've already taken several walks and jogs today. Everyone should make an effort to go outside during such glorious weather!

If you would prefer not to go out by yourself, I am always free and willing to join someone in their enjoyment of youth. Oh! We could make a group activity out of it! A picnic or something ne? It could be fun!!

I met with Gaara today! It went really well. I'm understanding the material better now that it's not in weird technical terms. It's easier to understand after it's been broken down.

He agreed to tutor me on a regular basis too! Though his original terms were a bit...strange. I should find a way to repay him though... Ah Sakura, I guess that would mean I won't need the extra help, though we can still meet on Saturday if you wish- we could do something fun instead!

So, basically, things are now back on track!

The weather was nice today! I'm doing well in classes! I think things are going to look up for awhile.

Though...I wonder what I'm going to do about that one class. It's required for my major, but the workload is something else. I'll just have to pull through right? Right! Hard work reaps its rewards, and I give my word to work hard. I will not give up, or fall behind on this class. If I do- one hundred laps. I'll do a hundred laps and then retake the course until I get it right.

I need something to do besides coursework though. Maybe a study partner- it's school, and fun. I could make a new friend out of it.

I have too much energy to burn to just sit and write. Work starts soon anyway, I think I'll run there today.
