School Week, Baseball weekend

I've been pretty busy with school lately. Its been keeping me on my toes. But I am really enjoying it. Unless it rains...anyways. The hardest thing I have had trouble with is the no backpack rule. You can have a purse as long as it is smaller than 12x12 or if its clear. Do you know how much talent it takes to carry three slick books, a lunch box and a jacket? I am very thankful though that a friend of mine came across a purse/bag/thing that is within the limits and my stuff fits in! YAY! The weight on my shoulder does sometimes cut the circulation off in my arm though. I would rather have that then be juggling books down the side walk.

With the Democratic conventions going on my Government teacher offered extra credit if you watched it and wrote a paper about it. About thirty minutes into it I was beginning to wonder if it was worth the ten points extra credit. Its not that I found it boring, its that I am not particularly interested in why all those speakers want Obama for president. I did the assignment in spite of my lack of enjoyment. The paper only had to be three fourths of a page. Mine ended up being a page and a half. Why does that always happen to me? I say more than is really needed? Anyways. He said we could do it for the Republican convention too. I will probably do it for them as well. Maybe do a comparison of the two conventions?

I am excited about this weekend. Saturday we are going to go with church to a Mudcats game. I enjoy watching baseball, but I also enjoy watching it with other people and being able to fellowship with them. I need every excuse I can get for running my mouth! :) I haven't been to a game in years. Don't worry, I will bring my camera and share pictures. I can't decide if I want to take my glove or not. What do you guys think? The last few times I've taken it we have sat where I didn't need it. The one time I could have used it, it was sitting on the shelf at home. *shrugs shoulders* We shall see.

Interesting Email I recieved

Enjoy-

Summary of My Last Year on the Computer

I must send my thanks to whoever sent me the one about
poison in the glue on envelopes because I now have to use a
wet towel with every envelope that needs sealing.

Also, now I have to scrub the top of every can I open for
the same reason.

I no longer have any savings because I gave it to a sick
girl (Penny Brown) who is about to die in the hospital for
the 1,387,258th time.

I no longer have any money at all, but that will change once
I receive the $15,000 that Bill Gates/Microsoft and AOL are
sending me for participating in their special e-mail
program.

I no longer worry about my soul because I have 363,214
angels looking out for me, and St. Theresa's novena has
granted my every wish.

I no longer eat KFC because their chickens are actually
horrible mutant freaks with no eyes or feathers.

I no longer use cancer-causing deodorants even though I
smell like a water buffalo on a hot day.

Thanks to you, I have learned that my prayers only get
answered if I forward an email to seven of my friends and
make a wish within five minutes.

Because of your concern, I no longer drink Coca-Cola because
it can remove toilet stains.

I no longer can buy gasoline without taking someone along to
watch the car so a serial killer won't crawl into my back
seat when I'm pumping gas.

I no longer drink Pepsi or Dr. Pepper since the people who
make these products are atheists who refuse to put "Under
God" on their cans.

I no longer use Saran wrap in the microwave because it
causes cancer.

And thanks for letting me know I can't boil a cup of water
in the microwave anymore because it will blow up in my face,
disfiguring me for life.

I no longer check the coin return on pay phones because I
could be nicked with a needle infected with AIDS.

I no longer go to shopping malls because someone will drug
me with a perfume sample and rob me.

I no longer receive packages from UPS or FedEx since they
are actually Al Qaeda in disguise.

I no longer shop at Target since they are French and don't
support our American troops or the Salvation Army.

I no longer answer the phone because someone will ask me to
dial a number for which I will get a phone bill with calls
to Jamaica, Uganda, Singapore, and Uzbekistan.

I no longer buy expensive cookies from Neiman Marcus since I
now have their recipe.

Thanks to you, I can't use anyone's toilet but mine because
a big brown African spider is lurking under the seat to
cause me instant death when it bites me.

And thanks to your great advice, I can't ever pick up $5.00
in the parking lot because it probably was placed there by a
molester waiting underneath my car to grab my leg.

I can no longer drive my car because I can't buy gas from
certain gas companies!

If you don't send this e-mail to at least 144,000 people in
the next 70 minutes, a large dove with diarrhea will land on
your head at 5:00PM this afternoon and the fleas from 12
camels will infest your back, causing you to grow a hairy
hump. I know this will occur because it actually happened to
a friend of my next door neighbor's ex-mother-in-law's
second husband's cousin's beautician...

Have a wonderful day....

Oh, by the way.....A South American scientist from
Argentina, after a lengthy study, has discovered that people
with insufficient brain activity read their email with their
hand on the mouse.

Don't bother taking it off now; it's too late.

Received from February.

Old School project

My mother was going through some old school books and projects of mine. She found this writing project I had to do for history in 2003. That is five Years ago! Wow..anyways, Below are the scanned pictures of my project.

In case you can't read what the documents say, here is what it says.

Silville

The town is named Silville after the founder of the manner, lord Silva.

The Beginning

Well, it all started on September 15th, 1285. 3 traders stopped to stay the off season. They asked lord Silva and he said, yes. When it came time to leave one of the traders decided to stay. One month later 2 farmers came and settled.

The Young Town

A year later a peasent family settled. Six months later another peasent family settled. In 1299 another famiy settled.

The Bulging town

The next two years the town grew and grew untill it could not fit in the walls so they started building outside of the walls. Also a butcher, a blacksmith and a baker.

The Charter

Finally on June 1290 the town got it's Carter after 3 months with the original trader that started the (turn page) town, one of the oregenal farmers, and the blacksmith.

Do you know how hard it was for me not to correct my Grammar and spelling errors as I typed that? Its interesting to see how far I've come since then. Even though I'm not all that great at grammar and spelling now. It is typed as it was written. You may cringe. lol Next is the map that I drew to go with it.

So there you have it. A little piece of history.

I started school monday. For the first time I am going to a school for my work. I survived, at the first day. We will see if I survive the second! I have started a second blog to talk specifically about my school stuff. I am also trying to make a little bit of money off of it. You can check it out at youvejustbeenschooled.blogspot.com. I will be adding the link to the links on the right hand side if you don't feel like typing. Have a good ya'll!

I am a bad blogger

Summer makes me lazy apparntly in more than just normal stuff, it happens in keeping you guys up to date on here too.

Well I have been to camp. That was a blast. I had the best room! It was full but it was fun. I saw my friend change in a big way while I was there. I am so glad he was able to make it. I have some neat cyber scrapbooks to show you. If you are getting this via email you might have to view the blog directly to get them to work.




We have also had some neat activities at church. A.C.T.S.=After Church To Someplace. Great fun playing Kick ball and Football. The sunglasses on my head saved me from being out once in kick ball. That was intersting to explain to say the least. We also had a water day. That was a blast! The water slide was the best part!







Now the sad news. This past Wednesday was Pastor Mikes last service as Youth Pastor at Tabernacle Baptist church. The Lord is moving him on to another part of service. I don't mind but it was still an emotional night. He will be greatly missed!




I am starting school Monday. For the first time ever I will be GOING to school. I am so excited but also very scared. Keep me in your prayers as I am going into a classroom with mostly unsaved people.

I am thinking about starting another blog that talks specifically about my school experience. What do you guys think?
