Went Through to Texas....yeah Texas
And we're having fun. Had some Cuban black beans that were to die for, unfortunately it smelled like something died later on! Whew!

Summer's almost over...three weeks til Texas!
I'm looking forward to the end ofsummer this year...also looking forward to getting away from it all fora bit and heading to the big state of Texas to spend some more quality time with my mom. We have both been looking forward to this trip. I still can't believe I'm doing it. Looking into going to Grad school as well. We'll see how that attempt goes. I gave up home interent access for a time, until I get back from TX, then I'm getting a year's worth of DSL. It will be wonderful to have that in the home again. I have decided to permanently relocate to Macomb and do the grad school thing. God never gives me a good head's up on what he wants, only the small steps. I know I'll be seeing it when I get it well behind me....what with that 20/20 hindsight!

Hello Summer?
The weather has been crappy lately, some days have been warmer, but for the most part, it has been quite chilly for MAY!!! I finally got to see what I did for grades this past semester. I did end up with a semester GPA of 3.0, the best I've ever done in school, all my life!!! I got two A's two B's and the one D from sucking completely on my final Shakespeare paper. I'm glad I did so well otherwise though. I'm sitting here in a local coffeeshop, enjoying the light music and laughter of the patrons. I'm looking forward to coming home for good though. I'm tired of college life, tired of always being so unsettled. I'm ready to take my little trip to Texas to visit with my Mom. Looking forward to seeing her and spending time with her.

I'm angry
I was cleaning out old food, and looked in my freezer and noticed a lot of frost on the bottom of the thing, so I started feeling around, and noticed most of my food was thawed! GRRRRRR!!!!!!!

I did get one confirmed A
I managed to pull an A out of my cultural Anthropology course, the one you had to work hard at to get anything lower, since there were so many opportunities to get extra credit. I'm glad for that...might get either a B or an A in my Creative Writing course. I'm not sure what I will be getting for my professionaldevelopment course, maybe a B. I can't see getting anything lower. The only part of my portfolio that really sucked was my reflective essay. I just wasn't able toreally brag on myself and what I have learned. That format always makes me uncomfortable. I think I might be getting a B, if not possible an A in my Native Lit course. The only course I'm wondering wht sort of damage is done is the Shakespeare course. I've got all day tomorrow to clean house, and I'm going to get it done. Might be skipping out on coffee to do it. Sat. there is graduation, and I think I'm going as one of the kids in our Bible study is graduating. Wearevery proud of him, he is a hard worker. His family is from Nigeria, came with a few suitcases and a dream. He gets his citizenship real soon, so they are excited for that as well. This country is still the land of immense opportunity, and I'm grateful.

Sharing Jesus
I had a great day today, I turned in the blasted paper, the one that didn't get completed, told the professor that if I got ten points out of a hundred, I'd be satisfied. That is the worst paper I have ever done. Had a rough time with it too, but it's not in my hands, so that's ok. I'm done with the papers. My Native American paper got a B, so I'm pretty excited about that. I revised it with the professor's help, like three times. It was good to just get through it all that's for sure! Trying to find a pair of sandals I can wear this summer. Got a pair of croc-like shoes, and they will be shower slides for when I go to the dorm next semester. LAST ONE!!!
