Rollin' north on 95 

My theme song for the month of January--

"well it's a long way to Richmond/ rollin' north on 95" --Travis Tritt--

Well I am at it again this afternoon. I am ready for a weekend to just stay put and possibly catch up on all of the work I am behind in. Don't get me wrong, I have loved every minute of being home these past two weekends, but come on!! Might be March before I get to stay two consecutive weekends!!

Weird day out there today--kind of looked like snow clouds this moring (fingers crossed they aren't!!). Still cold, but the wind has died down a bit.

And, first prize for 80s mall bangs goes to....
Joan Cusack in "Working Girl" (1988)
(I tried to find a picture, but thank goodness, for her sake, they wasn't one online!!)

"Working Girl" was a pretty good movie. It is very very 80s, but has some pretty funny scenes. Plus, Harrison Ford is in it, so you can't go wrong there!!

my birthday party!! 

Check out some pictures from my birthday party

CAKE?? Where??

Oh yeah, and by the way--I WASN'T THERE!!!

What a storm... 


Oh wow. This has been the most interesting three days. Let's see...where do I start??

  1. First my best friend since 3rd grade, Crystal, came home from Tech for the first time in a year or so. So I delayed heading back to Campbell by a few hours so I could see her at church. PS-although she didn't come home specifically for my birthday--it was one of the best presents anyone could have given me!!
  2. I finally got on the road around 11:30am Sunday morning. Route 5 is great. I had no problem speeding driving down that road. I-95 was clear. I finally started to see some snow around Emporia. That is also when my first exciting incident occured.
  3. About the same time the snow began, I noticed a woman on the side of the road with smoke rolling out from under her hood. So I pulled over when she flagged me down (there wasn't much traffic) because I didn't think that she had a cell phone. Well I proceeded to call 911 and reported the fire. At that time I had NO clue where on 95 I was, but luckily they had locators for my cell phone. Well I waited around there to make sure the rescue squad got there. 15 minutes late and even more snow falling, they finally got there and I headed back to my car. This was such a sad event to behold. A woman and her son were stranded on the highway while they watched their car go up in flames. I was touched by the complete strangers who stopped their journey to help a woman they did not know. I saw truckers run past me with fire extinguishers in attempt to stop the flames. By the time the fire trucks got to the scene, a large group of people were surrounding this woman and her son. It was truely amazing.
  4. Well I got back on the road and headed to North Carolina. It was snowing pretty well by the time I reached the line. I should have stopped and used the restroom when I had the chance. Nothing too major we couldn't drive in. That is until I entered Nash County.
  5. Almost immediately, we came to a complete stop. I, who hadn't noticed the ice on the road until now, had to swerve to the right to avoid sliding into the truck in front of me. At the point, we made a single file line on I-95 and moved into the left lane to avoid a wreck in the right lane. Then had to move back into the right lane to avoid a "disabled vehicle" (some news lingo for ya) in the left lane. This lane weaving persisted for about half a mile. All together I counted 10 cars in that half mile that were either stuck in the ditch, stuck because someone hit them, or stuck because they hit someone themselves. I even say one car that went over the ditch and onto a hill beside the interstate. Well that was enough to make us form a single file line and go 2 miles an hour. To pass time, I called lots of people (my mom several times, Melissa, Katie, the Browns in RM), I read a little of my Sunday School book, I took pictures, and listened to 93.3 FM!!
  6. I finally made it to the Red Oak exit and head to the Brown's house. They so graciously let me bunk there and ride the storm out. Natalie and Stephanie are in the mountains at school, so I took over Stephanie's room and me and their little sister hung out for a few days. We watched lots of TV, and lots of movies (a Lifetime original movie "Midwives", "Hanging Up", "Pearl Harbor", "Parent Trap", "Skylark", "Sarah Plain and Tall: Winter's End") and lots of college basketball!! It was fun being cooped up with them, but we all had cabin fever by the end of the three days (and maybe even sooner!!).
  7. Luckily, Campbell cancelled classes Monday and Tuesday. They reopened today at noon. I got to school around 11:15am, after leaving Williamsburg over 72 hours before!! I went to Physio at noon and then skated back home to settle back in to the routine. Just to pack up again on Friday and head back home for my cousin's wedding!!


It was an interesting first half of the week. I hope that is all of the excitement for awhile. It was a great 21st birthday, and one that will be remembered FOREVER!!

That is all for now. I need to put some stuff away and catch up on my work!!

Steve Martin and Bonnie Hunt are SO funny!!! 

Oh what an interesting drive up to Va....

  1. started counting RVs (haha court) because I was bored, but then switched to cops because there were more!! I avoided getting a ticket, boy was I lucky I drove the speed limit the whole way home.
  2. two truckers honked at me...ewwww
  3. found a new favorite single lyric from a song: "Words without a sound/ coming from your eyes" ~Sister Hazel~
  4. Overplayed songs included "Without You", "In Da Club", and "Miss Independent"
  5. I realized that the more I study the human body (ie. anatomy & physiology and physio psychology), the more I understand how AWESOME our God is. Our bodies are so detailed and everything works together perfectly. Amazing!!


Then I went with Melissa and Erica to Uno's and then to see "Cheaper by the Dozen". It was a really cute movie. Very family oriented. Good flick!!

Well now I must go to bed. Long day tomorrow!!

Well here I go... 

I am off to Williamsburg in a few. Don't feel like packing today, so I guess I will just wear something Kristina has. She won't mind :-)



Gosh I live in a cool town!!

Funny smiley! 


If there were... 

an American Idol: Trombone Master's...this guy would definately win!!


I am currently trying to finish up "Skylark", the sequel to "Sarah Plain and Tall". I started it last night and have been watching pieces of it here and there.

Today in Philosophy we learned about this guy named Pascal who came up with a logical explaination for God's existence. It was very interesting. Dr. English said at the end of class that we will have to wait until Tuesday to figure out what was wrong with his statements. I can't wait. I know that I don't need a logical explaination to make me believe that God exists, but this stuff is pretty interesting nonetheless.

"I am who I am" Exodus 3:14--That's all I need!!

Quotable Sean 

"I am telling my daughter that she can't even touch a guy until she is 18. And even then it's only handshakes and high-fives"

dinner @ marshbanks tonight!

Simon says...YOU STINK! 

Distractions have hit me right and left today!! I am used to distractions, but I am usually the only doing the discrating to myself!!

Let's see....


  1. My nap was put off because of the new HTML stuff I have figured out
  2. Then I got the bright idea that I wanted to take some pictures of my favorite building in Harnett Co.
  3. Next I went to Lauren and Kenzie's to work on my Research Methods project and was distracted by Friends and Everybody Loves Raymond
  4. Had some reading to do for Phil 121, but I went to the Oasis and then back to Kenzie's with Katie to watch "American Idol"
  5. And yet again, I was distracted by my blog when I walked through the door. I was going to watch "Life as a House", which by the way, is an excellent movie. Everyone should watch it!!


Only 3 days until my 21st birthday!! Thanks to Kenzie for starting the birthday celebration on Monday and thanks to Mel C for the e-card today!!

All the things she wishes you knew: 

Here is a list of things girls wished guys knew without them having to tell them:

(I have edited the list to just the ones I like and aren't over the top--beacuse this is my blog, deal with it!!)
3. I will leave if you lie

4. You are cute in raglan-sleeved T-shirts (two-toned baseball undershirts)
6. I love it when you hug me from behind and whisper into my ear.
7. "Fine" is never an appropriate response when I ask you how I look.
8. Most of the time when I [daydream], it's about you.
13. I'm scared of losing my independence.
14. I'm more forgiving of you than I should be.
18. Shoes determine whether you're fashionable or not.
21. A man I love plans the occassional fancy-shmancy dress up date and impromptu weekend getaways, and he buys my favorite candy in advance when we're just going to the movies.
22. You look hot in hooded clothing items.
23. You should never tell me what to do.
26. If you ask me out directly, I will say yes.
27. I'm very impressed when you ask for my advice.
28. I'm unimpressed with a man who doesn't take the lead.
29. When in doubt, go with a shirt that matches your eye color.
32. I'm in heaven when you hold my hand.
33. You're sexy when you're shaving, fixing stuff, wearing white T-shirts and jeans, driving, eating a peach, and holding a baby.
34. I need to hear how you feel about me. OFTEN. Tell me now.
35. Suprises, especially gifts for ME = MORE LOVING.
36. I want to be the best thing that's ever hapened to you. And for you to recognize this.
37. If I'm not feeling loved, I will start looking...
38. Discussion of ex-bf's and ex-gf's should be avoided at all costs.
39. I like it when you tell me what you're thinking even if you don't know yourself.
40. Celebrating our anniversary, even if it's only been a few months, earns major bonus points.
41. I love it when you're sweaty.
42. It's best to consult your (or my) gal-pals for gift ideas.
43. A lady should always be greeted with kisses.
47. It's cheating as soon as you're doing something with her that you wouldn't want me to see, hear, read...
48. For the record: I'd rather you break up with me than cheat.
49. I remember EVERYTHING from our relationship.
50.You should know all this without me telling you.

Those are my favorites from the list.

Song of the Moment: I Me Mine by the Beatles





Good MORNING! 

I awoke today to the sounds to Billy Blanks giving Tae-bo instructions!! Courtny and Katie were sticking to their New Year's resolution to do the tapes each week!!

Song of the Moment: Pride (in the name of love) by U2
Song of the Day: January by Elton John

Have a great day!!

ps--Kiss slowly, love deeply, forgive quickly. Life is too short for you to be anything but happy. Take chances, give everything, and have no regrets.

What a tangled web.... 

(title has nothing to do with my day, but it was the heading to a site I went to tonight)

Great day today!! Classes went well. Breakfast in the 10 minutes between my first and second class was delicious!! A warm blueberry muffin and french vanilla coffee..YUM!! After lunch and another class, I came back and took a beautiful nap. I think I was catching up from the lack of sleep I had this weekend!! It warm and full of dreams!!

I was supposed to start tutoring a new guy in Latin this evening, but it has been moved to Thursday night. I am looking forward to it!! But I do need to brush up on my Latin a little before then!! Tempus fugit!!

Tired of those bulky mittens getting in the way of you holding hands with your loved one?? Then try a pair of these Smittens Courtny said, and I quote "gag me", end quote!

This site is pretty funny too. HAHAHA **Pay special attention to the FAQs at the bottom of the page

Tonight is a new 7th Heaven!! Then I have to get my phil 121 reading done!!



Have a great evening.

Amendment to toilet paper post 

Saw a skit on the Carol Burnett Show about EXACTLY what I was talking about!! Carol came home to find notes written on rolls of toilet paper. One said

"Dear Mom" (it's from my son) "I am tired of the lack of soft toilet paper in this house. I have run away to the library...Forever!"

And each member of the family wrote one because she refused to switch over to a softer brand of toilet paper!! I thought that was a perfect illustration of the lack of soft toilet paper here at school!!!

Home again, home again! 

Well I am in Williamsburg this weekend!! Last night we all played Taboo!! We had a BLAST!! Great game. Too much fun.

Today was a joint birthday party for me and my sister, Laura who just turned 12. Good times opening presents and eating Yummy Chocolate Pound Cake!!

Side note--one of my favorite things about being home is


SOFT TOILET PAPER!!

I'm....dreaming....of.....a  

KRISPY KREME DONUT!!!



It's all I could think of during Ed/Psych Testing this morning. Might have to make a pit stop at the one in Rocky Mount on the way back to Williamsburg this afternoon!!

(Ahhh..parting is such sweet sorrow)

Thursday, January 15, 2004

Great lyrics!! 

I popped in my Reba CD for the first time in awhile. Of course I have heard all of these songs before, but for some reason, I found something new in them that seemed to speak only to me tonight!! Here are the three songs I found the most in:

1) I'm Gonna Take That Mountain

I was born a stubborn soul
Aint afraid of the great unknown, nor
the windin road thats all uphill
This is just a stumblin block
Intimidating wollow rock
If you think this broken heart
Will break my will

I'm gonna take that mountain
Aint nothing gonna slow me down
And there aint no way around it
Gonna leave it level with the ground
Aint just gonna cross it,climbit, fight it
I'm gonna take that mountain

It's overwhelmin lookin up
knowin it's a challenge of me
against this heartache to survive
I may slip and i may fall
But even if I have to crawl
I will break through
To the healin side

**This is my movtivation when I am asked to face something hard and challenging. And hopefully God gives me the strength to "take that mountain".

2)Sky Full of Angels

Preacher man talking about the end of time
Well, Lord knows I'm ready, it don't worry my mind
You see, I ain't afraid of nothing because I believe
I've got a sky full of angels watching over me

You can take my possessions
You can take all my gold
Nobody but Jesus gonna take my soul

Walk through darkness
I don't need no light
My faith in Jesus gonna be my guide
You see, I ain't afraid of nothing because I believe
I've got a sky full of of angels watching over me

Chorus

River's rising but I got no doubt
My sweet Savior's gonna pull me out
You see, I ain't afraid of nothing because I believe
I've got a sky full of angels watching over me

Chorus

**Great little song with a gospel beat. I believe I have a "sky full of angels watching over me"

3)Somebody

At a diner down on Broadway they make small talk
When she brings his eggs and fills his coffee cup
He jokes about his love life
And tells her he's 'bout ready to give up
That's when she says,"I've been there before
But keep on lookin' 'cause maybe who you're lookin' for is..."

Somebody in the next car
Somebody on the morning train
Somebody in the coffee shop
That you walk right by everyday
Somebody that you look at
But never really see
Somewhere out there is somebody

Across town in a crowded elevator
He can't forget the things that waitress said
He usually reads the paper
But today he reads a strangers face instead
It's that blue-eyed girl from two floors up
Maybe she's the one maybe he could fall in love with

Chorus

Now they laugh about the moment that it happened
A moment they'd both missed until that day
When he saw his future in her eyes
Instead of just another friendly face
And he wonders why he searched so long
When she was always there at that diner waiting on

**A cute little story about never knowing when you are going to meet the one God intended for you. It could be anywhere. It could be within the next day, you just never know!!

(Went to Sagebrush for Kenzie's birthday tonight. What fun!! It was me, Kenzie, Amanda, Lauren and Dustin. Fun fun!!)




I concur! 

This is a funny link....and I have learned, since coming here for school, that it is very true!!!

You know you are from North Carolina...

Pay special attention to #s 5, 14, and 16. They are my personal favorites. Along with "fixinto" being one word down here!!

I do LOVE this state though!! It's just great!!
I mean, look at these great basketball teams (and I am telling you...the rivalry down here between there is UNREAL!!!)

Happy Happy Birthday!! 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KENZIE!!

"I never had a coming out party" ~Kenzie said in a sad voice~

Well tonight's the night, baby!!



I also want to wish all January girls a happy birthday!!
My sister Laura--Jan 13th...12 yrs!
Crystal--Jan 16th...21yrs!
Mary Anna--Jan 19th...21 yrs!
Mine is on it's way as well....Jan 25th...21yrs!!!!

My favorite part--- 

I forgot my all time favorite part of this movie in the last post!!

Has to be when Dory starts speaking in whale!!
OOOOHHHHH-ARROOOOOOOO-OOOOOOOOOOOO-AAAAAAAARRRRRRROOOOOOOO

And later--
Dory: I wish I spoke whale
When Nemo successfully tells the whale thank-you!!

Nemo Time!! 

This is such a great movie!!



Favorite lines:
"Oh balloons, this IS a party" ~Dory~
"He touched the butt" ~the kids~
"Are you my conscious?" ~Dory~
"Hi, I'm Dory, and well, I don't think I've ever eaten a fish" ~Dory at Fish-Eaters Anon.~
"BUBBLES" ~That fish in the tank~

Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me 


I can't light no more of your darkness
All my pictures seem to fade to black and white
I'm growing tired and time stands still before me
Frozen here on the ladder of my life

Too late to save myself from falling
I took a chance and changed your way of life
But you misread my meaning when I met you
Closed the door and left me blind by the light

Don't let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me

I can't find
Oh, the right romantic line
But see me once and see the way feel
Don't discard me
Just because you think I mean you harm
But these cuts I have
Oh, they need love to help them heal

Don't let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me

Don't let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free baby
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me
--Elton John--

I would have to put this in my Top Ten List of Elton John songs simply because of the plea to be loved by someone. Everyone has that need, and sometimes it can dictate your life. I know it has dictated mine in the past. Bernie Taupin has written some great lyrics over the years and let Elton pick the mood by setting those lyrics to music. An amazing team!!

More Top Ten lists to come. Just have to work them up!!

OK...let's try this 

Let's try this commenting function one more time!! The other one was having problems with its server.

Comment away!!

Fun site 


(click me!)


I wanna go to Penn State!! 

They have just announced that the Napster fee is included in their tuition. So they better take advantage of the downloading!! I miss the days of free music. If anything, it made me buy more CDs and go to even more concerts.

For more information click here

Good song 

"And I will go down with this ship/ And I won't put my hands up and surrender/ There will be no white flag above my door/ I'm in love and always will be" ~Dido~


(not going to happen)

(I'm watching "White Christmas" again teehee)

Man, this is dedication... 

This is sad, but kind of humorous at the same time.

DISREGARD--can't get it to work yet...arrggg

Feel free to post comments on my blog. You can do it for each of the posts.

Things are looking up 


Sorry for the last few entries. I really sound like a complainer. I know that God has the best in store for me if I follow His commands. I am reminded of this quote from "The Sound of Music": When God closes one door, somewhere He opens a window. Just keep your heart on the Master's plan and things will fall into place. I also know that I need to be less quick to anger. Go with the flow and take everything in perspective.

Had a HARD time getting out of bed this morning. Wish there was some way to get excited about Anatomy & Physiology lecture. There will definately be a nap held in my room today at 1pm :-)

Crunch n' Munch... 

Because life is sweet and a little crunchy!! Ummm...alrighty!!

Well no matter what life is...Crunch n' Much is terrific!! And slightly addicting. But nonetheless, I am eating some.

There are a few things I could do right now
1)read for a few classes
2)watch a movie
3)take a little nap
or
4)eat some more

Hey, maybe I will just do all four.

Hope everyone had a successful move-in day today. Those of you that haven't started school yet (lucky). Time to get settled back into the grind of things.

ARRG 

Not saying that this is what I am feeling right now. But this is definately how I feel some days...When it seems I am at the end of my rope---

"But I can’t be your friend anymore
And its killin me to know you without havin a chance to hold you
And all I wanna do is show you how I really feel inside
You can run to me, you can laugh at me, or you can walk right out that door
But I can’t be your friend anymore
So baby now its up to you
Do I win or do I lose?
Will my heart fly or lie broken on the floor?"
~Tim Rushlow~

Song of the Night: "Give Peace a Chance" ~John Lennon~

i LOVE Saturdays 


The most unproductive day of the week. Slept in, watched a couple of movies, read a little for Phil 121, and then slept through a movie. And it is already dark outside again. Nothing too interesting to post on.

Oh, I do want to say--what in the world?? Watching Katie's life (which she calls--good as a Saturday Afternoon movie on ABC Family) is tiring, but VERY entertaining to say the least. I am not sure if I believe in coincidences or not, but this is going to be interesting.

(a few days ago it was oreos, last night it was dorritos and mt. dew, and today I am back to oreos. What's going on here?!?!)

It's "More Than a Feeling" 

YESSS!! Today has been an awesome day!!

1) 4 inches of snow on the ground
2) beautiful snow(wo)man in the yard
3) Boston CD came in the mail finally
4) Laughed for hours while playing in the snow
5) Getting ready to watch "Sweet Home Alabama"
6) Tomorrow = SATURDAY (aka sleep-in forever day)



Here's the gang-- 

Click here
Joy, Amber, Danielle, Katie and Me (Melanie)

Isn't she a beauty?! 

Our snow woman was a success!! It took a couple of hours to get her done, but we had a blast. It has started to snow again. And the low tonight is something like 11 degrees...so maybe more snow is on it's way!! And Katie decided to stay this weekend :-D

Go here to see more pics of Jill and those who helped make her!!

Snow flurries my butt! 

When I got out of class we had LOTS of snow.

It's not snowing anymore...but four inches is pretty good for us!!

And I think it is perfect snowman snow!!

Check here for more snow pictures

And it continues... 

Here is snow watch Melanie, reporting that the sidewalk, previously free of snow, is now covered. And it's only 30 mins later!!


Let It Snow, let it snow, let it snow 

My motivation today---

SNOW

And it's still coming down @8:07am....hopefully it will keep up and we'll have a white weekend!!

Life is a song/ you came along... 

Not sure where this feeling came from

Maybe it has something to do with the epiphany I had at dinner

Or maybe it's something in the air

"If hearts were unbreakable/ I'd tell you where I stand" ~Clay Aiken~

"You can worry your life away with/ Not knowing what each new day may bring to you/ Or take each day as it goes on/ Wake up to the love that flows on, around you" ~George Harrison~

"I don’t want to run away but I can’t take it, I don’t understand
If I’m not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?
If I don’t need you then why does your name resound in my head?
If you’re not for me then why does this distance maim my life?
I don’t know why you’re so far away
But I know that this much is true
We’ll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with
And I wish that you could be the one I die with
And I prayin you’re the one I build my home with
I hope I love you all my life" ~Daniel Bedingfield~

"Hey, I wanted you to know/ I wish you were mine" ~Boston~

---sorry for the sappy-ness....pray that this is a fleeting moment!!




Phil 101 

This class is going to ROCK!! There are a ton of people in the class that will make it a fun experience. The only thing is the presentation due at the end....yep, 5 mins in front of 50 people minimum. Guess I have a whole semester to work up the strength. It won't be too bad. I don't foresee me having any problems getting out of bed on Tues/Thurs if that is the class that starts my day.

I need to find a and I will be ready for a few more classes!!

My Favorite day of the week! 


I am making progress---It only took me 45 mins from the time of the first alarm to get out of bed this morning. I am convinced that is the best way to wake up...nice and slow!!

Today I have Philosophy 101, First Aid & CPR, and Research Methods (the other class with Lauren!!). Hopefully that lab doesn't start until next week.

News today--Va Beach made the top 10 list of most buff guys!! Guess I'll be making a few more trips down there now that I know that info!! J/K!

Song of the Day: either "Mother" or "Jealous Guy" by John Lennon
(not because of the lyrics, but because of the actual music)

Have a spectacular day!

Wednesday, January 07, 2004

OH what a day!! 

1)Classes started with a bang. FYI: Hard classes MWF

2)Katie overflowed the washer. AKA: BIG MESS

3)Took a couple of laps around campus in the car. Saw a sundog which is supposed to mean snow is on it's way. Yippee!!

4)Apparently Katie feels that Gandolf is the real owner of "The Magic Stick"

not to be confused with the "magic stick" of Obi Wan Kenobi

5)Spontaneous trip to Wendy's (we now have one in Lillington--4 miles closer!!)

6)More HTML figuring out was done by me and Katie. Man, this stuff is complicated. No wonder computer programers make tons of money!!

My work here is done. Another day of new classes awaits on the flipside.
Good night!

Coal Mine, Moonshine, Movin' on down the line 

If you haven't seen it yet, please rent "Coal Miner's Daughter".

It's the story of Loretta Lynn (the country singer). I have probably seen it 15 times and I am never tired of seeing it!! Amazing!!

Sissy Spacek spent a year with Loretta Lynn in order to learn how to sing and speak just like her.

Tommy Lee Jones also spent time with Loretta's husband, Mooney, in order to get his part just right.



Welcome to Buies CREEK... 

Excitement for tonight?! Katie overflows the washer!!

[use your imagination--what do you think a flooded laundry room would look like?? Sorry, but I can't get the link to work right on this picture to save my life!]

And fun was had by all!!

(by the way--I think Katie and I are racing to post these pics on our blogs as I type this!!)

Ahh, such sweet slumber 

So I got my nap (YESS!), but I woke up craving an oreo cookie. Not quite sure what that means, but I have always heard that craving something means that your body is lacking a nutrient. I don't know, and frankly I don't really care...I just want an oreo!!

Hurray for school... 

Well the first day of the spring semester was a success!! Each class is unique and challenging. I found out that Lauren is in two of my psychology--excited about that one!!! Someone to go with to Research Methods lab!! Will post later (i am sure!!)

Let It Be.... 

NAKED.



This has to be the best version of these songs ever. So amazing.

Nothing better to fill the time between classes than the sounds of John, Paul, George and Ringo!!

Brrr... 

It sure does look cold out there.

But it's the first day of classes and I am ready to go. First I am off to Anatomy and Physiology, then Ed/Psych Testing (no clue what that one is going to be about?!) and finally I have Research Methods.

Then coming back to finish up "White Christmas", which is a very funny movie thus far!! And I will definately have to get a nap in there somewhere.

Fingers crossed--my new Boston CD comes in the mail today Have a GREAT day!!
