Something New

I have decided to start something new. I am going to put a few facts, hopefully everyday. I hope enjoy it.

Today is day one.

A quater has 119 grooves on its edge, a dime has one less grove.

Q is the only letter in the alphabet that does not appear in the name of any of the United States.

A raisin dropped in a glass of fresh chapagne will bounce up and down continuously from the bottom of the glass to the top.

The first couple to be shown in bed together on prime time TV were Fred and Wilma Flintstone.

If a statue in the park of a person on a horse has both front legs in the air, the person died in battle. If the horse has one front leg in the air, the person died as a result of wounds received in battle. If the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural causes.

What A Week

This week has been crazy. I have finished all my classes for the week and can't wait to go home. I had to write three papers and take an exam along with all of the other things that I have to do in the week. I even had to skip out on a few things, but oh well.

I woke up this morning to the news of the tornado last night. Immediately after I found out, I tried to look online to see if my family from the south had written anything to see if they are ok. So far, I have seen things from one cousin but nothing else. I am hoping that I will hear something soon. I am praying for them.

Disappointments

A little while ago, I walked to Schwartz to do my W-4 for my job in the fall. But when I got there I found out that I have to do one sheet today and then she would have to get it signed and then I would have to go back again after she calls me. But before that, I looked to see what was for lunch today at Connecticut Hall. On the menu was Hungarian Beef Goulash. I got really excited. But when I got there, it looked like pulled pork, nothing like what its supposed to be. I was so disappointed. I didn't even bother to try it.

But the biggest disappointment was yesterday. I wish that my Dad could have been at Easter dinner with us. I got to sit in his seat, but it was really weird. I miss him so much. I can't wait to see him again. I love you Dad.

College is CRAZY

This up coming week I have to hand in a revised paper, two history papers, a biology exam and to work on two English papers and an advertisement with my group. I can't wait to come home this weekend. I have started to pack up some stuff that I don't need to have at school.

This week my Dad left for training. I don't want to seem selfish but I was really hoping that he wasn't going to leave until after Easter, but oh well, I can't always get what I want.

I miss you Dad.

Sweet Surprise

Yesterday just as I was getting ready to go take a shower, I got a knock on my door. I assumed that it was my friend Drea, because I have her bread in my freezer and I told her if she every wanted a peanut butter and jelly sandwich to knock on my door and I would share with her. I opened my door and no one was there. Just as I was going to walk out to see who was there, Bill stepped into my doorway.

Yesterday was our one year anniversary as a couple. I was shocked that they let him up. Usually no one is allowed in the building unless they live here or are signed in as a guest. I figured out that one of the CC's had walked up with him. I was so happy to see him. I was expecting to have to talk to him on the phone. It made me sad that I wasn't going to see him. But this made my day.

He had brought me flowers and took me out to dinner. The flowers are so pretty and I even had a vase down here from the last time he had given me flowers. I had to empty the vase out before I could put my new flowers in the vase, because I had the old dry flowers in the vase still. I put them in a plastic bag so when these flowers dry out, I will be able to stick them all in the vase together.

Don't Know Yet

I have been thinking about double majoring. I really would like to do it, but I still don't know if I am going to do it. The major that I am in now is very challenging. I'm not sure if I am up for the challenge of two majors. I really want to also be a Special Education Major as well as a Communication Disorders major. I still have some time to think about it, but I feel like I am taking to long to make a decision.

Life

It has been so busy lately. The days are just passing by. It feels like it was just yesterday that I saw Patch Adams. I loved this show. It was really funny. He should us some heart wrenching videos and told us some funny stories. But of course this didn't happen yesterday. That was just the start of a very short weekend. This past weekend, I spent time with my family and Bill. I enjoyed it, but of course when you enjoy things, they seem to go by quicker.

Before I got dropped off at school, we had to stop at Bill's sister Brandi's house so he could pick stuff up. She and I have gotten along much better now. In the beginning, she and I didn't get along because she was mad at Bill and saying bad things about me. But things have gotten better. I didn't do anything to work on the relationship between us. I am glad that she is putting a foot forward though. We shall see how this goes.

My way back to school was really rough. It really hit me that I won't get to see my dad very often. I cried most of the way back. I miss him so much and love him a lot too. It kills me that he won't be home for Easter. I can't wait to see him again. I just hope that he doesn't miss out on a lot of stuff. I know that he will miss birthdays, but I hope he doesn't miss out on graduations and holidays. What would Father's day be like if he wasn't there? But for now I don't want to think about it. I am just looking forward to seeing him again.
