On the way to school this morning, Cory and I heard the most amazing radio show. We listen to Fisher and Boy on 97X. They just so happened to be interviewing people who refused to vote for Barack Obama because he is Muslim. I, naturally, became infuriated because Obama is not Muslim.

The first man claimed that he would not vote for Senator Obama ( Read more... )

Yep.  I'm done!  Elementary school is going to be pretty fun.  For middle and high school, I am going to have to be pretty "chill".  That is what I have learned.  My age could either work towards my advantage or against me in high school.  The sub coordinators said that if the students identify with you, then they will respect you.  The lady who ( Read more... )

Ok so, I looked at the same books that Heather did.  Yay for Heather for the AWESOME list!! Here is a list of 110 banned books.  The ones in bold are the ones that I have read.  Those in italics are those that  have been read partially.  Those underlined are the ones that I want to read.  It would be interesting to compare this liest now to the one ( Read more... )

 Monday was one of my first appearances as Miss Dade City.  The directors decided that it would be fun to get matching dresses.  Since it was the Kumquat pageant, they decided on a vile shade of orange.  Yay for citrus fruits!!  I went to thet store for my fitting and this is when I learned that there was a God!  Two of the dresses were going to be ( Read more... )

So, today pretty much sucked.  I hate this school.  Ok, not the school, just some of the people.  Oh, and I hate this whole being unemployed thing.  It has been bothering me all day.  At least now I can get a job at Barnes and Noble... or maybe even Wing House (I'm soooo just kidding about that one! Although, I would make great money in tips!) As ( Read more... )

Yep.  I won.  I am going to Miss Florida.  I am so excited/ nervous. That is all.

So, can anyone give me reasons why reading = good.  I have a few, but I need more.
This is what I have so far:
- Helps students in just about every aspect of life
- Exposes people to other perceptions, cultures, and ideologies.
- Stress reliever (or for me sometimes creator)

I can't think of anything else...  Mrs. Anderson would hate me right now.

So, the Gasparilla pageant is this Sunday if anyone just so happens to be at Westin Harbor in Tampa at 4pm, you should stop by!  I would like to use this post to give a shout out to Kim and Heather.  Thanks to Heather for helping me find an AWESOME shirt.  Thanks Kim  for helping me find the COOLEST song EVER to spin to.  Kim and I decided that " ( Read more... )

 
Soooo… I have finally changed my major.  I am officially an English major!  Yay!!  I am also going to be a student assistant for one of my professors from last semester.  He is trying to talk me into going to graduate school and getting my PhD.  He is under the impression that I would make a great literature professor at the college level.  Ummm…I ( Read more... )

Last night Cory and I went to Greek sing at UT.  This is basically where all the sororities and fraternities danced (Which makes me wonder why they call it Greek “sing”).  Well anyway, there was a frat suspended from UT because they had a party and left a pledge in his room when he was not breathing well and was suffering from alcohol poisoning.  ( Read more... )
