A Shining Thread Of Hope

Mostly, I just hate internet responsibilities, and that is why I don't post much, I wish I did, because it'd be cool for me to be able to look back on stuff that I am writing now and see what I was thinking. But really, I don't check facebook, emails, or blogs as much as I would like to, just because it takes me so much time. It seems like a large accomplishment if I read a couple of blogs and check my three email accounts, let alone check facebook annnd possibly write a blog entry of my own. It's just to much, and I'm just a lazy bum.

I have a lot of reading to do for my classes and a pretty big project (the due date of which is getting very close) for my Design Studio. Let's see...
There's 5 chapters for Design 183, around 5 chapters for Astronomy 150 and 5 post card ideas (miniature finals) all due by **Feb. 8th. And I have to read 9 chapters and outline 3 of them by next Monday in African American Women Studies 350 in a book called A Shining Thread Of Hope, of which there is none for me. Not one shining thread!

**When I say I have to read for Dsn 183 and Astro 150, I mean there is a test on those chapters by that day, so not just glance through it, but hardcore studying. Which is funny, because I don't usually even bother with studying, but I think I'm starting to come around.

Last weekend Jessica took me for a visit home and I haven't had a lot of time to do that homework that's been piling up, but it's all good, because I'm going to get on it now, and I'm pretty sure I'll get to have most of the next weekend to myself, except when Kelvin might come to visit me. Oh and I forgot to mention that I went to Vegas again this year. I worked out so that I could miss just a couple of classes and still be alright. It was pretty awesome. I didn't get to do a lot of touristy things, but I got to do a couple things. I got to walk around in the Downtown area and in we got to see a little of the strip. I got to see La Reve and that is one of the most awesome performances I've ever been to. The next day we went to Disney on Ice, which was not fun to have to sit through, but it was for the sake of my siblings. Plus, we went to the Valley of Fire which is right near Lake Mead and we visited Mouse's Tank (a quarter mile hike) and then we ate lunch and left. Last year we went to Red Rock Canyon which was on the other side of Las Vegas. Sadly we did not see the Hoover Dam or get to go on the Dam/n Tour either year.

In other news, I have very short interesting story. When I got back from a weekend at home (thanks to Jessica:-), I had to go to the bathroom so when I went to open the stall door, to my surprise, there was a giant white mass sitting on the toilet. At first glance, not expecting anything like this, I was wondering how someone had conjured up this many soap bubbles. But when I realized what it was it appeared as though Frosty the Snowman had used our bathroom and just left behind his bottom ball. It was immensely funny and I don't know what happened to it or how it got taken care of or if it melted, but it was gone the next day. That is all.
