Wow, I have neglected this blog for awhile. I guess the big news is that I am done with roommates. It is time for me to move out, so I am. On Tuesday I will have my own apartment for the first time in my life. I can't wait! Don't get me wrong, I'm terrified. I can't stress enough how happy I will be to not have roommates. It is far too noisy ( Read more... )

I today was a bad day emotionally for me. I just don't get it. It's like all of my little vampires got together and decided to pay me visits throughout the day. This song is where I got the vampire term from (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DDdM66_nSI). It is more than ( Read more... )

So I called my prof several times today. Sadly I never caught him. I checked the grade postings about 100 times online. It finally posted. I got the A in Social Problems, so I kept my 4.0. Time to relax.

There isn't much more that I can say about this semester. I just finished my last final in Social Problems. I had 3 A's coming into the final. Sadly they were 90-90-90. My professor's policy was that you drop your lowest score, but the final had to be one of the tests you use. Sad. Did I get the 90? I am not sure. I really hope I did. For ( Read more... )

I am still riding the rollercoaster that is this semester. I am hitting some pretty big peaks, followed by some low valleys. Everytime something great happens, a midget runs over and punches me in the balls. It is weird I tell ya ( Read more... )

So my girls this year continue to amaze me. Last weekend we were in Gatlinburg for a tourney against some tough competition from several states (Ky, Al, Tn, Ga, WV, Va, NC). We normally do alright with a few finalists. Not this year. We were amazing!!! We had 15 quarter finalists (including 5 in Impromptu, my old event), 14 semi finalists, and ( Read more... )

I think that about says it all. I hate it. Taking geology and intro to philosophy on the same day was a horrible idea! Taking a science lab the same semester with world lit 1 was another horrible idea! I am just swamped! We are covering a novel a week in world lit, and they are mainly old translations. So you read, read again, and maybe the ( Read more... )

Well, it is a week into the semester, and I don't know what to make of it yet. My Tuesday Thursday classes are ok. I don't think my lit professor has ever taught anything but elementary students. The one thing I don't like is that her syllabus doesn't say what we are covering when. No chance to read ahead. Plus I would like to know what parts ( Read more... )

I am opinionated. I make no bones about it. While I am opinionated, I also have an open mind and will discuss opposing viewpoints. College professors, in my experience, are either the most or the least open minded people I have ever met. One class into the semester and I am already frustrated. I understand the need for an attendance policy. I ( Read more... )

I guess 6 days into the new year it is time to close the book on 2008 and open it on 2009. All in all, 2008 had a lot of highlights. It opened with the speech team kicking it into high gear. We didn't have our traditional 2nd semester drop. That is a very good thing. State was excellent, but very emotional. We have never had such a strong ( Read more... )
