I woke up at 9 am; my father was kind enough to make me an omelet consisting of fried onions, mushrooms and cheese. This I had with a cup of tea.

Then I undertook to accomplish 10 calculus problems, I have 30 remaining. In addition I assisted my mother in retrieving an end table from the attic and I then undertook to have lunch, two slices of pizza from the previous night. I then showered and got dressed. I am now preparing to visit my grandmother for it is her birthday.

I spent about an hour at her house, my aunt brought over 3 homemade pizzas that she had made each with different toppings and one calzone. As well as a strawberry shortcake. I had two glasses of my grandfathers wine, it was white and very harsh in taste but not bad, I also had a pice of cake and a cup of espresso. We also talked with my uncle in turkey via webcam, he seems to be doing well and we all miss him. He was deported last year on an expired visa and is in the process of filing an appeal, so far its looking to be successful.

I had the pizza my aunt made for dinner, it was quite good. Much sweeter than the pizza my father makes. Also the dough was more substantial.  I then took a long hot bath, after requesting additional time from my professor due to my continued ill health and familial responsibilities, when I returned I found she had already responded granting me an extra day. If there is to be any such word as saint, it’s a title she deserves. I only hope I can justify this clemency with great triumphs, these things, I will spend much time in bringing about. Now I am quite tired and I will rest.

Let my work forge in the red hot fires of ambition, a new and tempered spirit that will last one thousand years! I will be no Ozymandias, my works will be mighty long after my death.
