I deleted my lj b/c I found myself reading it instead of doing homework or paying attention in class. Then I realized I was cutting myself off from the little contact I have with most of you. So I figured I could get myself to actually, you know, email people to stay in touch. (*gasp* What a novel idea.) Then I realized, somehow I don't have ( Read more... )

I'm looking at this program in Yemen, and going through their website, I can find a registration form, but I cannot find if they have a separate application form, or if I am supposed to send money after they reply to me or with the registration form.

So I will be taking Church ( Read more... )

My car was broken into tonight while I was at work. My cell phone was stolen along with all my numbers. I have called my cell phone and left a message for the person requesting my numbers back, if they would be kind enough to write them down for me, but at the moment, if I am supposed to have your number, I no longer do. If you wish for me to ( Read more... )

Working on writing sample. Mind went blank. Bear with me here, but I need examples of stories/legends/myths about how education helped people get ahead and succeed, etc. Only example my over-worked brain can think of at the moment is Booker T. Washington. :-/

After like five years, I think it is time to be saying good-bye to this live journal. ElvenWatched just doesn't seem to fit me anymore.

It's been fun.
