Earlier this week, I signed up to swim on the Master's Team of the Gators Swim Club.  I have been thinking/talking about it since I found out about in March - just never went through with anything.  Well, this week something just made me get off my ass and sign up!  It's pretty cheap - $30/month, which includes 3 practices a day M-F and one on ( Read more... )

I swear, professors must get together and decide that things need to be due during the exact same week - nevermind the poor students who are stuck taking summer classes (when they don't want to!). Excuse the rant about this, it's just a little frustrating. I have a quiz on Friday, two tests next week, a major assignment due next week, oh yeah, ( Read more... )

In case you guys don't remember, on June 23, 2006 Tom's nephew Ryan was born. I cannot tell you how strange it is to think that he is already a year old. He's gone from sleeping almost all the time to being the most active little boy I know. On Saturday, Tom's family celebrated Ryan's first birthday. He is spoiled ROTTEN, let me tell you! He ( Read more... )

Lately, I have been reading tons of books - I mean TONS. I made it my personal goal this summer to read as many books (for leisure, NOT school) as I could possibly get my hands on. Since there are so many books that I'd love to read, I visit Amazon.com frequently. Whether you want new or used books, you'll be able to find them on Amazon.com. ( Read more... )

Things have been crazy busy around here. Well, sort of ( Read more... )
