WOW

A few things to talk about today. First of all, I am very saddened by a good friend's death. I had been around this person a lot due to softball, band, and 4-H with her daughter Edie, and I got to know her well. A very nice and kind family, and I will miss seeing her when we go in to visit for different functions. It won't be the same. I won't drag this on because it's not fair to rehash what has happened for people, so I will move on to another topic. I just wanted to send my apologies to a good friend and a good person to let her know that I care.

A few things that are a little more upbeat:
School is officially gone, and I couldn't be happier. I actually have a little time to myself and time to play with my flower garden and get this house into shape. We signed another year contract, by the way, which is super great because this place is so nice, and we really enjoy our time here. I'm just preparing myself to do some super spring cleaning because it needs it...bad.

I just found out that I received an A in Physics which I wasn't really expecting. So, that's 5 As, one more to go. :) I'm so excited. It was so hard and stressful on me having 19 hours of classes (hard ones at that) AND 30 hours of work/week, not to mention taking care of Russell and Gunther and cleaning and stuff. I think it really shows how hard I worked to get such good grades this semester when I had to juggle work, also. I'm very happy about that. More on that when I get my last grade.

Also, Russell and I have been playing World of Warcraft like it's going out of style. Russell has been playing it for a long time, but we just bought me a copy of it and payed the monthly online fee, so we started new characters to play together and that is all we've been doing in our free time! It's so much fun, and 10x more fun because we play it together. No wonder I haven't started my spring cleaning....hehehe. We also had a nice hotdog cookout the other day which was tons-o-fun! I even tried something new by taken shucked corn, buttering anf salting it, wrapping it in tin foil, and grilling them. It was pretty good, but tasted about the same as if I would have steamed them like normal.

Work front is okay. I still don't ever want to go, but you'll have that with Wal-Mart. They've upped my hours this next week to 40, but the week after it's like 32, but I get three days off, so that's nice. My raise starts next week, I think. $7.45 an hour. Not too shabby for a Wal-Mart job. I will have been working there for a year when that raise comes through. Scary.
