Carpets, Cats and Coffee
The cats aren’t sleeping, I don’t think they are even eating much. When then venture from under the bed or the couch they only do so if I’m in view… sometimes Q wont come out even then. They jump at every noise, they aren’t interested in the windows nor their catnip toys… even the feather (Q’s favorite) is ignored. There is carpet in every room and closet of the apartment, except the bathroom and kitchen,…

Conservation Saving Our Valuable Resources
I’m so very proud of the American peoples efforts to conserve energy. I never knew this was so popular until I started driving back and forth from DC to VA Beach. Almost every driver on the road is not using their directional signals they just switch lanes when they feel like it, never mind who may be in the way. We may have reduced global warming by this act alone. I’ve even seen one cab…

Tribulations and Tests
So, today is the day, I get to move into my new apartment today – I wont be, but I could. I’ll actually move in Friday and Saturday. Today is my first “Quiz”. That means Math. Which is why I got little sleep. I think I’m prepared, I think I’ve learned, but I’m still scared. Immediately after my quiz I head for DC. Tonight I pick up my new bike, set up Gary’s (former roommate)home…

The Fortress of Solitude
I actually checked out the Fortress of Solitude (a.k.a. my new apartment) today. Found out a lot of things I didn’t know too: There’s a pool on the property that I get to use There are two tennis courts that I get to use There is a Volleyball Court that I get to use The Fortress is HUGE (size does matter, trust me).The windows are placed in just the right spot for the kitties.The carpet…

Speed Limit Enforcement
The main road from DC to VA Beach is a long, rather boring commute. What simply continues to amaze me is the signs I see along the road: “Speed Limit Enforced by Aircraft” Now, in my minds eye, I picture an Air Force Jet barreling down on law breakers, blasting them to bits with missles. I realize this may not be happening, we would certainly see massive pits from weapons fire, or smoldering wrecks along…

First Official Week
I’ve had my first official week of school… well, at least I’ve had each class every day that I have class (which is rare). I’ve managed to miss my first assignment… I think its the class and instructor that are getting on my nerves (Student Development: how to be a student). I secured my renters insurance policy… the things worth any thing in my life are not replaceable by money (but I had to have…

School Daze
Ever feel like your being punished for something you said or did? Or better yet, want proof that God has a sense of humor? Last night at dinner with Suzanne, Randy and Zanne’s parents I talked about two students in particular that I already didn’t like. These two just rubbed me the wrong way, something about them and me just isn’t going to work well. So, today, I sit in the student lounge trying to…

First Day Of School
Gee, I feel like a kid again. First day of school jitters, nervousness, sleepless nights… OY Truthfully I couldn’t sleep well at all, there was a point whenI thought I might and BOOM the phone rang (thank u Donna M! LOL… kidding, it’s always a pleasure). I wanted to start the day off right, woke around 7:30 or so and sat around (Suzanne and Randy only have Fairy Coffee and I’m not that kind of…

Learn to Unlearn
I picked up my schoolbooks and checked out the campus to make sure I can make it to my classes in a timely fashion… luckily for me there are only 2 buildings on the campus. As I was browsing through my ENG 111 book I realized that I’m going to have to change the way I think about reading and writing. It’s a new thought for me, I’ve been writing what I want, how I…
