I had my first class yesterday. It was ok. I am going to have to bust hump in that class. FIN 3013 is going to be crazy.

Today I had MGMT 3013. That class wasn't that bad.

I have ACC 3013 tomorrow. I am not sure what to expect.

I have ACC 3023 on Thursday. I have the same teacher for this class as I have for ACC 3013.

Here's my schedule...

MGMT 3013 - T - 6:00 PM
ACC 3013 - W - 6:00 PM

Back At Home

noreply@blogger.com (Me) — Tue, 18 Jul 2006 22:36:00 +0000

I am back at home. There isn't much going on down here. We start school on August 15.

I don't have much to say today, so later.

Just Bored

noreply@blogger.com (Me) — Tue, 11 Jul 2006 00:02:00 +0000

There is much to do today, so I created a new avatar. Here it is...

We are leaving on Wednesday to go back to Carrington. I am going to miss being down here.

Fourth of July Fun

noreply@blogger.com (Me) — Thu, 06 Jul 2006 00:02:00 +0000

Well, yesterday was the fourth of July. We had so much fun down here on the farm. One of the guys who works for my grandfather BBQed. It was off the chain. Everyone within a 100 miles had to be here. We had all kinds of games, music, and dancing.

Some kind of way, I ended up managing the dunking booth. It was one guy that no one could dunk. Finally, Keren with her silly self just went over the the dunking arm and pushed it. He must have chased Keren for three miles.

My grandfather and some of his friends sung for us at the end of the day. It was cool.

Farmer's Market

noreply@blogger.com (Me) — Tue, 27 Jun 2006 21:54:00 +0000

We went to the farmer's market this past weekend. Keren and I got to sell some of the fruit that we helped grow. We sold all of the fruit we had. I was shocked when my grandparents let us keep the money that we made. That was so cool.

I'm A Farm Girl

noreply@blogger.com (Me) — Wed, 21 Jun 2006 22:05:00 +0000

I have been working on my grandparent's farm in Uzziah.  It's been hard, but it has been fun.  I need a manicure something fierce.  After the first couple of days of working on the farm, I slept like a log.  I was so tired.  I think I have adjusted to the schedule.  We wake up at 6:00 AM.  We went to the farmer's market.  Keren and I sold a lot of stuff.  It was cool.

We are at the library.  We get to quit early on Wednesday s because we go to church.  Church has been crazy.  The pastor, Rev. Melvin is like 102 years-old.  I almost fell asleep on Sunday during the service.  The musician is like 99 years-old.  Most of the choir members are over 60 years-old.  Keren and I are the two youngest people at the church.  That is too funny.

There are some fine farm hands on the farm.  My grandfather has been tripping; calling us fast and stuff because we have been talking to them.  My grandmother told him to leave us alone.  My grandfather says that we are stopping them from working.  Maybe if we slow them down enough, we won't have to work outside.  That would be cool.

I think I have drunk a barrel of water since I have been down here.  The good thing is that I have lost 4 pounds.  I don't know how though because we have been eating some big old fashioned down home meals.

I am glad that I came down here.  It's been fun.

In Uzziah

noreply@blogger.com (Me) — Thu, 15 Jun 2006 20:38:00 +0000

I am at the Uzziah public library. As you can see from the opening, I am in Uzziah. I may not be able to post much because my grandparents don't have a computer.
It's okay down here. It's good that Keren is here with me. It has been hot these few days. Tomorrow, we start working on the farm. I am dreading that.

Going to Uzziah

noreply@blogger.com (Me) — Wed, 07 Jun 2006 01:42:00 +0000

It's official. I am going to Uzziah to visit my father's parents. I am not sure that I want to do that. They have a farm down there. They sell what they grow at the Southern Ivy farmer's market. They are excited about me coming. They haven't seen me since in like 3 years. I am a little excited. Keren said that she would go to Uzziah with me. We are going to be down there for a month. We will be leaving on June 12th. We will be coming back on July 12th.

Do they have computers on farms?

It's Over!

noreply@blogger.com (Me) — Tue, 30 May 2006 21:42:00 +0000

Well, finals are over. I am going to clean out my dorm room, pack up my things, and then head home. I am so happy.

I should be getting all As. I am excited that this semester is over. I don't plan on attending Summer School.

My mother wants me to go visit my grandparents for a couple of weeks this summer. I am not sure that I want to go work on a farm this summer. I am going to see if Keren wants to go with me. I hope she does.

Anyway, I don't know how often I will be posting this summer.

IT'S OVER!!!!!!!!!!

Finals Have Started

noreply@blogger.com (Me) — Tue, 23 May 2006 23:26:00 +0000

Finals have started. I had one yesterday. I had one today. I have one on Thursday and one on Friday.

Keren is still mad at me for not helping her study.

What more does she want... I have given her my class notes, revised notes, and all kinds of study aids. She should be able to study on her own. I think she just feels better when she has someone there to hold her hand. I know, I shouldn't talk about her like that, but she is tripping.

Oh well, back to studying. I will be glad when this week is over.

FINALS WEEK!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Me) — Wed, 17 May 2006 00:30:00 +0000

Things are crazy around here. I have four finals next week. They are in Economics 2023, Accounting 2043, Accounting 3103, and Math 3003. I am about ready to scream. I should be getting all As. I am studying like crazy this week. I haven't talked to anyone, Keren included. She is mad at me. She left me a nasty message on my voice mail. Oh well.

I will be glad when this week is over.

Tests All Week

noreply@blogger.com (Me) — Wed, 10 May 2006 00:59:00 +0000

Just taking a quick break from studying.

I have tests all this week. We get out of school on May 26. So, the professors are giving us our last tests before the finals. It is a stressful time right now. Keren has been bugging me like crazy. She is getting on my nerves.

Back to the studies. I will let you know if I survive.

Just Thinking

noreply@blogger.com (Me) — Wed, 03 May 2006 00:06:00 +0000

I was just thinking about my life. My grandmother died this time last year. It was crazy. I was pretty close to her. She was like my rock. Although I didn't know it then, she left me some money so that I could go to college. I cried a little earlier today, but I am feeling better now.

This is all I can write right now.

Nothing In Particular

noreply@blogger.com (Me) — Wed, 26 Apr 2006 01:53:00 +0000

Nothing has happened of any interest lately. Everyone around here is studying like crazy.

There have been alot of tests going on.

Keren & I

noreply@blogger.com (Me) — Wed, 19 Apr 2006 00:36:00 +0000

Keren and I have been getting along well these days. She is back together with EBB. He appears to be doing better. He has even managed to buy her a gift or two. They have been cheap gifts, but it's cool. I am so glad.

Keren has been my girl since we were in our mothers' wombs. Our mothers are best friends. They became friends when they were like 8 or something. I don't think they even remember. Every since I can remember, Keren and I have been friends. My older brother and Keren's older brother were friends when they were younger. They grew apart after they went to college. My brother kind of went crazy after he left for college. He is into the whole art scene. It is kind of hard to tolerate him at times. He has an earring that has a chain that goes from one ear to the other. The chain drapes his neck. Keren's brother is a sportswriter for the local newspaper. Those two guys are so different that I don't see how they could have been friends anyway.

Keren and I went to the same schools; both had two mothers, and dressed just alike. For awhile, we had people convinced that we were twins. My mother got us busted at school. Sometimes we still are able to convince people that we are twins.

Our birthdays are exactly two months apart. Mine is on 7/3. Her's is on 9/3. We usually have a party on 8/3. We have always done that. I think our parents thought it was a good idea because it would save money.

It's cool having Keren as my best friend.

The Make-Up

noreply@blogger.com (Me) — Wed, 12 Apr 2006 00:29:00 +0000

Dilliard got EBB to come to the student center to hang out. I got Keren to come to the student center. That girl looked so sad. I tried cheering her up, but she wouldn't.

Dilliard and EBB were playing pool. Keren and I walked around for awhile. I acted like I wasn't sure what I wanted to do. Dilliard called my name. We pretended that we happened to meet by chance. Keren saw EBB and said that she wanted to leave. Dilliard talked her into staying. She stayed reluctantly. Keren and I watched EBB and Dilliard play. After awhile, EBB starting showing off for Keren. He would sneak smiles at her whenever he made a great shot. Keren tried hard to ignore him, but I could tell that she was enjoying the show. It was funny. Dilliard started showing off for me. He came over to me and danced each time he made a good shot. EBB looked at Keren like he wanted to do the same thing. Keren's face told him not to do that.

After the pool game was over, Dilliard asked if we wanted to go get something to eat. Keren didn't want to. Dilliard said that EBB was going to treat. Keren decided to go after that. She said, "I gotta see this for myself." We ate in relative silence. Dilliard tried to get a conversation going, but it wasn't working.

After we ate, Dilliard decided to go walking around the campus. He grabbed my hand and started walking. He left Keren and EBB alone to walk with each other.

It was cool. They made up. I am so glad.

Dilliard is so cool.

The Date with Dilliard

noreply@blogger.com (Me) — Wed, 05 Apr 2006 00:20:00 +0000

I had a date with Dilliard last Friday. It was ok. I was still upset about the thing with Keren and EBB breaking up. Dilliard apologized like crazy, but Keren was mad at me and I wasn't having an easy time getting over it.

We went to the movies and then went to get something to eat. I wasn't any fun. Dilliard was cool about it. I ended up telling him everything about Keyva and me. He thought it was cool that we had been friends since we were in our mother's wombs. Our mothers are best friends.

He came up with a plan to get Keren and EBB back together. I thought that was so cool. The date wasn't a total bust.

P.S. Dilliard is too good to be true. :)

They Broke Up

noreply@blogger.com (Me) — Wed, 29 Mar 2006 01:57:00 +0000

I felt like an idiot, although I shouldn't. EBB found out that Keren hung out with another guy while we were on Spring Break. Dillard said something about the dude while we were all hanging out together.

Keren looked at me as if I should have told Dillard not to say anything about the tall guy. EBB got ignant. He went off on Keren, Dillard, and me. Dillard and EBB got into a fight. Keren yelled at them both and told them to stop. EBB and Dillard stopped fighting. EBB stormed out of the room and yelled, "I don't ever wanna see you again!" Keren screamed back, "I don't wanna see your trifling behind again, either!"

Keren has been sad and moping around every since then.

Spring Break

noreply@blogger.com (Me) — Wed, 22 Mar 2006 05:20:00 +0000

We went to Victoria Island with a group of people from the college. Dillard went, too. Keren left EBB at the school. She said that if he was too cheap to pay his own way, then she was going without him. She was sad for most of the trip. I really think she wished EBB was there.

There were college students everywhere. It was a mad house. I got overwhelmed by all the people. I stayed in the room for a day. Keren was there with me. She had been there the whole time. She thought that I was there to keep her company. I let her think that.

Before long, we had a room full of people in the room with us. It was crazy. Keren appeared to be having fun with some tall guy.

Spring Break was fun. Dillard and I went for a couple of walks, went swimming, went to a carnival, and went to the movies. I had fun.

Disaster That Was the Cookie Contest

noreply@blogger.com (Me) — Wed, 15 Mar 2006 02:13:00 +0000

Well, the cookie contest was a disaster. Keren and I had planned on creating our Crazy for You Walnut M&M Cookies. Since we needed M&Ms, we were supposed to bring them ourselves, along with any other special ingredients that we needed. Keren asked EBB to get the M&Ms. He forgot. Keren lost he mind and cussed him out at the Contest. Everyone was looking at her like she was crazy. She left the contest.

I stayed and made the cookies. I used chocolate chips instead of M&Ms. The cookies tasted okay. I didn't win.

I brought some of the leftover cookies to Keren. She threw them across the room, yelled something inaudible about EBB, and then started to cry. I tried
to comfort her, but she pushed me away.
This is not going to be pretty.
