congratulations to me!

I survived all of my classes this summer! Everything is officially turned in. My catapult with Carrie was one of the best presentations in our class. We did not actually use ping pong balls in class, but we had a contest to see who could send their marshmallows the farthest. Very fun toy! It is not that good with aim-- we tried getting them in people's mouths, but it was not too great for that! Anyway, just finished my presentation for my last class! I only have 7 more hours till my Master's is finished. And that means automatic raise--how bout them apples!

To celebrate the actual start to my summer (as in no responsibilities for either school setting!) I am headed to the Cardinals game tomorrow afternoon. I hope that I am as lucky as we were watching it from the bar last night. Four of us met for happy hour before the game, and two people left to head the the game. My roommate's friend Kevin and I stayed behind for "one more drink." Well, Jaime called in the seventh inning and we were still sitting there since the cardinals were actually winning!! And they did win the game. It was fabulous. So I hope they can do it again for my tomorrow.

Goin to Little Rock...

I am going to try the list thing:

• I am headed to Little Rock tomorrow morning! I cannot wait to see and hang out with Katie! Much much too long.
• STL is hot and gross. I was dying cutting the grass at 8am this morning!
• My class is cool-- we make lots of robots BUT boring! So boring.
• I need to do some school stuff cause I have 3 classes and lots of work due next week. I cannot bring myself to doing it though. I am looking for the under pressure work! Should be good.
• The concrete company (who shall remain nameless at this point) came out for the 3rd time and STILL did not do what they are supposed to. And they still keep sending mean letters about their money. Hell no, you cannot have MY money until you fix my patio.
• I need to get up and clean. It is disgusting and my roommate does not believe in cleaning or something sice she never does it.
• The squirrels keep eating my tomatoes. Does anyone want to hunt squirrels in my backyard? I will pay you in the saved tomatoes!
• One of my old students works for one of my classmates and apparently, she ran into a telephone pole and knocked power out to a several block radius for 4 days! What a great UA girl, following tradition. Apparently, my students do not need to look for stationary objects. Several girls ran into the light poles at school. (They have been there in the same place for years). One girl's car even caught on fire. Imagine this announcement over the PA: Susie, Amy, Marie, (and about 5 others) please go to the parking lot IMMEDIATELY to move your cars. Do not wait for anything, this is an emergency!.......... I mean now ladies, we are talking about fire here! Seriously, way to freak 700 teenage girls out.

Two Posts in One Week

Yes, here I am posting again. Can you believe it? I am attempting to take a nap before I go to the Cardinals game tonight. I am exhausted. Thought I would post some pictures of all my lillies. Yes, I am doing a pretty good job taking care of flowers. I am shocked and surprised that I have not killed everything!

So I forgot my password

So I have been missing for so long because I was busy AND I forgot my password. Yep, tried every single one that I could think of. And none of the options they give to help worked. Long story, but it was annoying. And suddenly, I remembered changing my password. It was the same as the one that I have for school that I set up this spring. I don't know how that happened, but it did. I have so many passwords-- school (with me as teacher) has to have different ones for different things and school (with me as student) has to have different things met. For one, you are not allowed to have any actualy words or parts of words. Plus, you have to have atleast 7 characters and I think 2 had to be numbers. How do you do that? How do you remember something like that? I tried initials, I tried so many things before I finally came up with something that it would allow. Computers are getting too smart.

This is a quick return blog but I am off to drinks with Doug who owes me for all of the free tutoring that I have given him. He asked me to help him 2 or 3 times. But that has turned into 10 or 12. And never once has he paid me. So he owes me a few evenings out. I think I get dinner out of the deal too. I told him he owed me big if he can pull off an A. He has a 96 and he is halfway through the class, so I think he has a shot. So I am off....
