my blog... |
|
It is hard to say what may transpire. Hind sight is always at least 20/20. Why worry about tomorrow? Today transfixes me and yesterday mesmerizes me. Why set up a blog? Because I like to talk. Or, as others may say, I like to rant. And rave.  Sadly, there is a very limited amount of people who are willing to sit and listen to me.  This can lead to some sad and frustrating conversations with...well, myself. So, for the sake of my sanity as well as everyone else's, I have decided to join the blogging fun and become a blogger myself! What will you find here? Insane ramblings most likely. Some may actually be amusing depending on your humor. I may blog about new things I've discovered (some may actually be new while others may only be new to me; so, bear with me there). Things that annoy, irk, upset, tickle, fascinate, etc. me and every thing in the world is (are?) subject to blogging. Disclaimer: Shouldn't everything pertaining to personal opinion have one? I really like to talk about things that upset me or that I don't understand (often the same topic ). Generally, these topics are controversial to say the least. If you have a problem with my viewpoints, that's fine. But don't yell at me for it. This is my blog and I am entitled to my own opinions! No one is forcing you to read so, just walk away. I do not tolerate yelling at me. I don't like it; don't do it! If you're afraid of being insulted or offended and can't tolerate being debated then just don't start anything. That said, I probably won't say anything to offend or insult; but, we must err on the side of caution! Okay, now I have nothing left to blog about!!  Well, feel free to check me out...uh, erm...I mean my blog and port. Catcha around!***** I am so proud of my merit badges and wanted to show them off!!! ![Merit Badge in Style

| Well...this was supposed to be Monday's blog but I missed the cut off!! Oh, well. My computer had a hiccup and had to go back to BB right after it got home. I tried to install my virus protection software and it told me that I couldn't have it (Trend Micro) and Norton on at the same time. I told it that I don't have Norton! So, it went back to BB and they fixed it and installed Trend for me (no charge  ).Now, when I start the computer I get a rundll error. Either my computer is really, really, really sick or it really, really, really likes BB. At any rate, it will most likely be having another visit with BB in the near future to get rid of the rundll error. I'm disinclined to do it now. I'm all about procrastinating. Plus, I just got the computer set back up. Dumb, I know. Nonetheless, if I'm going to be doing anything on it, it has to be properly configured!! My special colors and wallpapers and games and cursors directly affect my performance. So, I'm all set up. Finally. It's been almost a month now. I hope it won't need another lobotomy for at least another six months. I'm tired of setting it up!! I keep telling it that things will never work out with BB but it doesn't listen. It's a story of tough love... the love between a computer and her technician... a story of unrequited love... where the geeky technician doesn't even know the sleek computer is alive... *sigh*mechanical love... |
| Well...the hot and muggy day did not lead to thunderstorms of rain of any kind. On the bright side, I didn't have to drive home in the rain on Thursday. It has cooled down though and it is a very pleasant summer day. I've been meaning to go out and check the roses... I finally did, today, and discovered that I pretty much missed the first bloom. I should have listened to myself!! Oh, well. There will be more blooms to come. The pink/orange roses have two lovely little buds and two nice looking blooms. It's a slow start to the rose season. Which is good considering I missed the first red roses! I was out, admiring what roses there were (the 4 I spoke of), with my sister. I was trying to decide if this one thing growing was some funny plant or a tree when she said "Don't look behind you." So, what did I do? I did what anyone else would do... I turned around. There, behind me, on the ground was... a dead bird semi-swarming with flies...  EWW!!! Poor thing. A black bird it was. I felt bad for it but got out of there quick! My sister said "I told you not to look!" Of course my response was that it is a perfectly natural and human reaction to immediately look towards whatever you are told not to. When someone says "Don't look now...", you automatically look! It's kinda like the smelling gag. Something smells gross (usually some sort of substance that once was food and was growing in the dark recesses of the refrigerator) and you wrinkle your face and say to whomever is around you "Smell this." What do they do? They smell it and then are repulsed and wonder why you made them smell it. Human beings are strange, complex, weird, non-sensical creatures! Why do we do the things we do? Hm...speaking of smelling things...either the oven smells or something is burning...better go check it out. |
| Blustery doesn't even begin to describe it!! It is almost 90 out (so it's rather warm) and the winds are gusting up to around 40 mph right now. It's supposed to usher in a great big storm tonight. It's really muggy too. It is summer for sure! |
| There is this woman in my Tuesday class and she is driving me insane! She's this little, older black woman with more attitude than any one person should be allowed to have. She's shorter than I and I am short. I don't even know if she hits the 5 foot mark. Whenever she speaks, she bobs her head--weaving it back and forth and waving the index finger of her right hand about as if she was scolding you. Furthermore, she acts like she's angry all the time. She scrunches up her face and has this tone like she's incensed. As if that wasn't enough, she makes these long speeches where she has to say the same thing three or four times before it becomes a semi-coherent thought. During these speeches, she likes to throw in one four syllable word to make it seem like she has a large vocabulary. But, she doesn't use the word properly and she messes up other simple words and phrases. For instance, last night her group was presenting an article on anger. When her turn to talk came she said (weaving her head and waving her finger) "I'm an aggressive person...", my thought was *no! really? I never would have guessed* read that with immense sarcasm. She went on to say things like, "but you anger can't get you" and "people will push your buttons to make you anger" and the like. Each time she should have used the word "angry", she used the word "anger" which was almost amusing. She went on to talk about ways to control your anger. She said, "Aggressive people cause people to anger. Aggressiveness is prolifierous to anger. But, you can't let you anger get out of hand. There are ways to hold it back and not get anger. Like, I try to write...you know, you write the feelings...whatever you feelin-you write it and I do that, when I anger, I write it down...that do work, that do work." I almost started laughing when she said "that do work." "That do work" Yeah...sure it do. |
| We had a stray thunderstorm pass through yesterday afternoon and another thunderstorm pass through this morning. I don't know when it started but when I woke up this morning I could hear the low rumbling. Yum. The weather people have been talking about rain and thundershowers for the past week or so...but, nothing. Then, we got two in as many days! I love it! The rain stopped some time ago but it's still grey and gloomy out! I could hardly be more pleased. BB (Best Buy..which it's not) called. I took the computer's recovery disk over on Thursday. The guy said they would install the Trendmicro and Webroot for free because of all the hassle. It's not like I can't do it myself; but, I'm all for free service. I think I deserve it. So, I guess I'll take the stuff over tomorrow. It'll take, what, 10 minutes and then the computer will be ready to come home. I hope it's fixed this time. If it has to undergo a lobotomy one more time... |
| It's so early. I thought I overslept and raced around to get ready for my 9 a.m. class. I went to get my stuff together and looked at the clock in the other room...It wasn't almost 8:30 and I wasn't running late. It wasn't even 8. I forgot that the electricity had been out (a few weeks ago) and, instead of taking the time to reset the clock, I just moved it ahead one minute so it would stop blinking thereby leaving it a half hour fast. At least I won't be late this morning. Small consolation for me. I would have preferred not to race. I probably would have even had time for breakfast. Oh, well. I've got a granola bar in my purse. I'm too tired to eat anyway. I'm ready to go back to bed!! Last Saturday class. yay. I have 10 minutes before I have to leave... have a nice Saturday. |
| Can it really be June already? It seems like it was just August... but I digress. Just a few more weeks of class. It doesn't seem possible. I saw "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" today. It was way bigger than the previous too, in my opinion. And, I don't just mean in length. It was, however, like the longest movie ever! 2 hours 45 minutes. It didn't seem like it though. Tons of action. Ending left wide open for another sequel. Good movie. Turned out to be a nice day. Cloudy this morning but all the clouds have cleared out. It was pleasantly warm without being humid. Nice way to start June. |
| We had spring in December, Winter in January, February, Fall in March and April and now it's summer time!! The weather around here is positively insane. It was 91 degrees out yesterday and it's already 86 today. It's a scorcher! It's been a long time since it's been hot. I had to shut the windows and turn on the AC. We're supposed to have thunderstorms tomorrow. I'm torn on how I feel about that. See, I have class tomorrow night. I hate driving at night in the rain. It's impossible to see. So, I'm hoping for thunderstorms but not until late. Ten or eleven would be good. I'd be all settled in by then. I have lots to do out and about tomorrow. I still haven't heard from Best Buy. I'm beginning to wonder if my computer and BB didn't actually run off together. Oh, yesterday's presentation went fine. We finished last week's presentations and got through half the presentations that were due yesterday. We'll finish up next week. Luckily, no presentations due next week...just a paper. This class is killing me...slowly and methodically sucking out my very life force. I can't stand it! Even though we had a ton of presentations and stuff to go through, he (this is the 8th grade history teacher) had some lady come in. She's a homeopathic doctor or something. She was talking about stressors and how we should avoid them, etc. I'm thinking...this class is my biggest stressor right now! Does that mean I can go? I had a headache by the time 9 o'clock rolled around. He annoys me to no end. On the positive side... As I was leaving, walking down the hall to the exit, I saw a round metallic object. I wasn't sure, at first, what it was. Then, I noted it appeared silver in color. Once I was standing over it I detected the picture of an eagle stamped into it!!! Yes! I found a quarter on the floor! It was the highlight of my evening. How pathetic am I? |
| Ever feel loathe from reading an e-mail? There's this woman (she's like two or three times as old as I am, which, to me, makes her an old woman ) in my group for the Tuesday night class. She keeps e-mailing me. "What are we gonna do?" "What are we supposed to do?" "What's going on?" "What's happening?" and then "I HAVEN'T HEARD FROM YOU...WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?" My first reaction is... "STOP SHOUTING AT ME!!!!!" *deep breath* It's like...what's the matter with you!? Do you need me to hold your hand? Do you want me to walk you through step by step by step? It was a holiday weekend. Quit bugging me. The rest of the group (all told four members including myself) didn't contact me until today. The group was "assembled" for the first time last week. I say "assembled" because it was me and another girl and this woman was all like "I don't have a group! " So, we said she could join our group and then a guy was all like "Can I join your group?" and so we became four. Very impromptu. We're all very laid back...whatever...let's just wing it...no big deal...who cares? That woman, on the other hand, is all jumpy and frazzled and...AAHHH!!! She's getting on my nerves.Anyway.,.the presentation is tonight. It'll be fine. Just a little presentation of an article. What's the article? What's it about? That's it. No big deal. Get over it! I wouldn't have gotten as upset if she hadn't SHOUTED at me. I mean jeesh what's your problem? Calm down! I hate it when people shout at me. It makes me all defensive. Anywho...I looked at the book whose title I forgot. The other book was Persuasion. I read it after Northanger Abbey and before Lady Susan. In case you were wondering... I'm finding that I actually like Jane Austen. I didn't think I did. I had read Emma and Sense and Sensibility before. Then I saw the latest movie version of Pride and Prejudice. Really, really liked the movie. Decided to read the book. Really enjoyed it as well. Now, I've been on an Austen read-athon. I didn't care much for Lady Susan but it was readable. Other than that, I enjoyed all the novels. I thoroughly enjoy Pride and Prejudice...it might be my favorite. Of the Austens that is. All told, I think my favorite novel of all time would have to be Jane Eyre. I can't tell you how many times I've read it.I  reading. |
| Hope everyone is having a pleasant Memorial Day. The weather here is very nice. I got my homework for Tuesday done. Half my homework for Thursday and half for Saturday. I still have a case analysis and a book report to do. I got three "journal" entries done, a reaction essay, and the interview report done. Whew. I feel as though I have accomplished something. I've been negleting wdc lately. I was super duper busy last week and then my computer ran off with the guy from best buy. Oh, well. I've been on a Jane Austen marathon. Back to back, I've read Sense and Sensibility, Mansfield Park, Emma, Northanger Abbey, Lady Susan, and there was one other in there whose title I can't recall. Anyway, I'm rereading Pride and Prejudice now. They were all good but Lady Susan was...different... Yeah, different. Anyway, it's time for lunch! Enjoy the remainder of your weekend! |
| Well, my computer has been acting up, again. Some stupid microsoft update...a security update for excel. It keeps trying and failing to install. So, the computer is taking a little "vacation" at Best Buy. For all the good it'll do. They've been trying to make the computer right since I got it..a year and a half ago. I have a group project due on Tuesday. Half my group has yet to contact me in regards to what we will be presenting. We haven't yet decided what article we are going to present. It's kind of a bad situation. The lone person that contacted me had nothing to say other than to reiterate what had been said, what was described in the syllabus, and to say "Where should we go from here?" Crazy old lady! I have the presentation on Tuesday as well as two "journal" writings and a reaction paper (all for Tuesday), a "journal" entry and a case analysis due on Thursday, and an Interview Report plus presentation and a Book Report plus presentation due on Saturday. It's kind of a big week. I was going to try and get a bunch of stuff done yesterday...but, my computer started its "retreat" yesterday. Luckily, my sister has a laptop that she's letting me use. We're going to go shopping today! As soon as she can get ready that is... |
| Do you remember what I was thinking about blogging about last night? I had monologued a whole blog entry last night...while I was trying desperately and unsuccessfully to go to sleep...and now I have forgotten what it was. Oh, well. I guess it wasn't so important. I had a hell of a time getting to sleep. Consequently, I slept late this morning. It was one of those nights where you toss and turn and settle in, quietly, comfortably... and then... you realize that you are wide awake. So you lie there anyway. At least you're semi-quasi-comfortable. Maybe it won't take too long to drift off. You run dreams and scenes through your mind hoping that something will lead you into actual dreamland. You sigh, snuggling in, willing yourself to go to sleep. But it doesn't work. It's twelve-thirty, one, one-thirty, two...still no sleep. At this point, you feel like screaming because you are no closer to actually getting to sleep than you were when you lied down two hours ago. It only took me 30-45 minutes to get to "sleep" after that point. I say "sleep" because I was stuck in that in between state for awhile. I wasn't "awake" but I was still aware of my surroundings. Like semi-asleep. I hate those nights. I'm just glad I didn't have to get up early this morning. I will tomorrow though...I hope I don't have a repeat performance tonight. *sigh* It's like, I'm tired but then I lie down and I'm wide awake. If I decide to get up and read or watch tv, the moment I'm up...I'll be sleepy. It's insane. My sister is so lucky...five minutes after her head hits the pillow she's deep asleep. She can sleep through anything too. I think it's cuz my head is really, really full of all kinds of stuff and I can't get it to shut down and shut up while hers is...well, comparatively less full. She's smart but...blank. There just doesn't seem to be a lot (read: anything) going on up there. I love her, don't get me wrong but...she can be kinda...blonde. She knows it too. Me, I'm like *AHHH!!!* all the time. My brain never, ever stops. Ever. It just doesn't always make sense. ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** |
| I do...I really, really do. eBay that is. I ordered my textbook last Thursday and it arrived this morning! From Malaysia, no less. Some people are against Americans buying International editions from overseas because some books are labeled as "not for sale in the US." But I see it differently. One, the book isn't being sold in the U.S. It's being sold in Malaysia, China, India, etc. Two, with the currency exchange rate, can you imagine how much $50 is worth to them as opposed to us? It must be a lot. Kinda like how 1 euro is worth like, what is it now 20 bucks? Just kidding, I know the difference isn't that much. But, you see my point. Furthermore, I'm a poor college student too. Everyone knows we stick together. Publishing companies help International students overseas to get textbooks that they can afford while sticking us with prices that rival that of a used car. Those students reap the benefits and then help us out by selling the books to us at a price that is high for them and low for us. Everybody wins! Theoretically speaking. Granted, I don't know exactly who is technically selling the books. But, it's a minor point. Textbooks are way overpriced. It's insane. And when you try to sell them back to the bookstore you're lucky if you get 25% back. Then, they sell the used book for a mere 10% less than new! Someone is making some big bucks on textbooks. The Internet is great because it brings all these people together to buy and sell and exchange and lie and cheat and...back on track. It's great. I'm a big fan of eBay and half.com because it puts you into a semi-controlled environment with rules, regulations, and stuff. You get a bad egg every now and then but it's rare. It's amazing what you can find there too. You know what you can't find on eBay though? eBay patches. You know, like the cigarette patches that help curb your nicotine craving. Cuz I'm totally addicted to eBay. I've been a good girl though. I haven't bought anything frivolous since January. I'm on the wagon!! I almost went off but I was outbid so it doesn't count! Only actually purchases count. ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** |
| Pomp and Circumstance. That's the one. That they play for graduation--though, I don't know why. Who knows why anyone does anything? My school had their graduation ceremony today. I wonder how it went. I started finishing my bachelors at this institution the very end of August and they asked me in October if I wanted to walk. I said no. I still hold to that answer. It was all just kinda sudden like. I have strong feelings about myself and graduation ceremonies. There are several girls that I've been having classes with since August that were walking today. Two of them actually graduated. See, that's what I don't entirely get about walking. You can walk but it's just for pretend. I almost had second thoughts but I hold to what I said. I wish them all well though. Technically, we're "graduating" in August. They give out diplomas three times a year: May, August, December. August grads can walk in the previous May and December grads can walk in the following May. It's a nice thought I suppose. I know quite a few other people who think like I do on the subject so I know I'm not alone in my thoughts. I'm getting all kinds of flak now for some reason. We have to take a senior seminar to graduate. The only people that can take the class in the summer are those who are graduating in August. Thus, everyone in the class with me is graduating in August. The teacher asks who in the class is graduating in August. Of course, everyone raised their hands because that's a requirement for taking the course in the summer...duh. So, he asks who is walking. Less than half the class (the class consists of about 10 people) raise their hands. So then he asks who is not walking. The rest of us raise our hands. "Shame on you!" he says! I'm indignant. I don't need that from him. He doesn't know us. We all have our reasons for walking or not walking. I didn't appreciate it at all. I don't think it was his place to be scolding us. (He also teaches 8th grade history.) I'm not 12 and do not need to be treating as such. I think it was a little inappropriate. Anyway... What's done is done and shall come to pass no more. |
| Another fabulous Saturday...I'm liking the Saturday class. We got out at 11:30 today. Next class (two weeks from today) will be our last...*evil laugh* It doesn't get better than that! Except the early Saturday morning part. I overslept this morning. It was really weird. I thought I had my alarm set to buzzer, one of the loudy, chirpy annoying ones that force you to wake up and turn them off. But, I swear, I think I remember tossing in my bed trying to shut off the country song...which is weird because I don't listen to country music. Anyway, I woke up, my alarm was not going off and it was 8:10. My class starts at 9 and its a 25-30 minute drive. I was a wee bitty-bit rushed this morning. Who needs coffee (not that I drink it, cuz I don't) when you can have an adrenaline rush? I walked in the classroom at (according to that particular clock--you know they are all different) 8:59. Whew! After class, one of the older ladies was telling everyone they have a breakfast club before class where they all meet to have breakfast before class and we could sign up for the "mailing list" to join them before class. Did I mention that they meet before class? I had trouble getting there at 9. Puh-lease! It must be a generational thing. I was talking about it to the girl (gal, lady, woman--do we have to get technical/pc?) who is just a little older than I. We agreed that the before class woman was crazy. Have you ever had a class where there was that one person who had to ask that one annoying/obnoxious question that didn't have an answer or had to question everything or had to ask what the homework was when everyone was convinced it was forgotten? Yeah, that's her. She was in my finance class in the fall, my ethics class in the winter, and my leadership class this semester. That's just the way she is. I find her dreadfully annoying. Luckily, I won't be annoyed much longer...... (Because I'll be done soon! Where's your head at? Shaaammme.) |
| It's beautiful out. Not a cloud in the blue sky, the sun is shining bright and I finished my take home test yesterday. There's still plenty of homework I should do...but, it can wait til next week!!! Why do today what you can put off until tomorrow? I can't remember where I heard that. It's a fantastic quote though. My motto. Like Scarlet said in Gone With The Wind: "After all, tomorrow is another day!" |
| It sure has cooled off compared to the past week or so!! We've barely cleared 50 degrees! It's windy too which makes it feel rather cold! I finished today's homework last night... but forgot we send our homework electronically until today so I just e-mailed it in. Oh, well. My take home test for my Saturday class is due, well, on Saturday. I'm not even half-way through it!! I've been dutifully neglecting it. I meant to do it last week but never touched it. This semester is going fairly fast. I suppose it should as it is only 8 weeks long, right? I have two Saturday classes left. Yay. My last class is on June 21. Just around the corner!! I ordered my marketing book online May 2 for my Thursday class. I kept checking and checking and I e-mailed the company because it hadn't been shipped yet. I checked after I e-mail my homework and it said the order was cancelled! They waited two weeks to tell me that the book was not in stock!!! That's what I get for trying to save a few bucks! Some, tamamamama-ramma-lamma ding dong company. It was a google-check out company...I thought they would be good. Oh, well. I ordered one on eBay that is supposed to go out 2nd day air (yay for free shipping!!!). It was like $5 more and had free 2nd air shipping with tracking numbers. Sounds good to me. The seller has great feedback too. We shall see... One last note...not sure how I feel about the new pop up stuff on the site (wdc). Whenever I move the mouse the quick blog entry goes away. Luckily, it remembers what I had said which is cool. I think I'm just going into my blog to quick blog though. What's one mouse click between friends right? |
| Remember yesterday? (see yesterday's blog) Yesterday, when I was a good girl and got all my homework for the day done first thing? We got a batch of severe weather. My class starts at 6. They don't close the school so I headed out early hoping to miss my part of the storm and come out behind their part of the storm. I got caught in a nasty little bit five minutes after I left. I thought about turning back... But, the teacher is... well, you fill in the blank. In addition to this senior seminar, he teaches 8th grade history at one of the local schools. We have in-class assignments the first 10 minutes of class which are just free writing that you get automatic credit for. But, if you aren't there in the first 10 minutes you don't get credit for being there that day. You get zero points. So, you have to be there every class (there are only 8 classes for the semester) and on time. So, like a good little girl fearing for her gpa, I headed out into the storm... After battling a nasty little bit close to home the storm cleared out. I had come out on the backside of it. It was still raining, my windshield wipers were on medium, and the wind had died down. I made it to school (a trek of 19 miles) without too much ado and plenty of time to spare (5 minutes to walk into the building and 10 minutes after getting into the classroom to get my stuff around). (We had a presentation due yesterday and I like a little down time before presenting to collect myself, my stuff, and my thoughts.) By the time I got there and had parked, it was barely raining at all. Just a little sprinkle and I didn't even need to use my umbrella. I was quite pleased. It was a quarter til 6, the rain had let up, by the time class was over all the rain everywhere would be over. I made the trek up to the building (the parking lot is not close to the building, there is a moat/lake/pond thing that goes around the building then a road then the faculty lot and then where everyone else gets to park), walked up the stairs (my classroom being on the 2nd floor), and went through the door into the hallway. A woman was standing in the office just inside the doors. I smiled at her and she kind of waved. I walked on. It was then that everything came crashing down. She spoke to me. "The school's closed." I stopped dead in my tracks. Without moving a muscle, I said, "Huh?" "The school's closed." My foot dropped to the ground and I swung around to look at her. I didn't say anything for a moment, collecting my thoughts. "When?" was all I could muster. "About 5:30." I was floored. I was already half-way there by that time! So, I drove all the way out there through the pouring rain and storms and they had closed 15 minutes after I had left the house. She said there had been a tornado 15 miles south that had scared them and caused them to close the school. We had a blizzard back and January with sub-zero temperatures that they wouldn't close for but they close at the last minute for some far-off unconfirmed tornado. Unbelievable. But then, there's the rub. I got home and checked my voicemail. My advisor had called at 5:46. Remember, I was there at 5:45. She called at 5:46 to tell me that the school was closed!!!! I was at school when she called to tell me they were closed. Now, she lives in the same town as I and knows it is a half hour drive. She also knows that I am always early. Always. It's one of my "things." If I am on time, I am late. I am rarely late. I couldn't believe it. I'm still upset. Not to mention that gas prices jumped from $3.16 to $3.49! What's up with that!? The computer locked up twice yesterday. It was not my day! But, it is very cool today as compared to yesterday. It was almost ninety yesterday but it dropped to sixty after the rain. It's still very windy though. It feels rather chilly, actually. Oh, well. |
| Well...I was a good girl today. I finished all my homework that is due tonight before I did anything else!!! Aren't you proud? I was outside for a couple hours on Saturday for my sister's graduation. It was supposed to be cloudy and cool. It wasn't. It was sunny and warm (moreso since I wore dark, long clothes since I thought it would be cool). I got burnt. I look like Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer. It didn't bother me on Sunday. It bothered me yesterday. It's annoying me today. It's getting dry so I'm absently scratching it which...hurts! So now it's dry and peely and scratchy and I've discovered my head where I parted my hair on Saturday is a little burnt too! I've tried to keep lotion on my face but it isn't helping much. My nose is all red and peely. I hope it doesn't last long. |
| Ta Da!!!! My sister graduated college today!!! She is now a college graduate with a four-year degree in biology!!! *ew* I was never keen on science but I'm really proud that she has a bachelors majoring in biology. It sounds really smart. It was a big day. And the weather was beautiful for the event (although the sun tried to kill me as I was wearing dark clothes and absorbing every single ray that shone down all morning while it was supposed to be cool and cloudy...though, the breeze was occasionally rather cool). She graduated along with 392 of her fellow classmates. The ceremony took about 2 hours (more or less...probably a little more ).Now the question is... Now what? Isn't that the question that plagues us all. It's very strange not to be in school any more when you've been in for so long. I'll be right behind her (though I'm older... I took the long way through...the scenic route if you will). It's a strange thought...the one of no more school. She's glad for it... I'm not so sure. Maybe, sooner or later, I'll go for my masters. Time will tell. She seems to be done but you never know. It's so odd to think of not being in school when it's all you've know for so very long... |
