Today I had my regular literature class this morning. Our teacher is going to assign our first paper next thursday so I have to come up with a topic that I want to write about. Then I went and ate breakfast at the Ferguson Center. They have a really good breakfast. I usually get eggs, bacon, and hash browns. It is really good. Then I went into work at the biology lab.
Work was very interesting today. After two years of picking bugs out of pond samples, I came to the conclusion that picking bugs has officially become nasty. Before it has always been interesting to me becuase I like science, but don't have the dedication to major in it. I picked bugs for a guy that was taking samples out of somewhere in Florida, but now I am picking bugs for two girls that take samples out of somewhere in Alaska. The Florida samples were interesting because they had cool looking crayfish and clams we had to pick out. The Florida samples weren't very colorful, they were just blah. Now that I pick out of Alaska samples there is colorful and interesting things. The samples have algae and slime in them so they have some blue and green in them, thier not just full of dirt and things. The algae can be nasty because I have to ring it out sometimes to get the water out so I can put them in a drying oven to dry. They Alaska sample with alae in them are also interesting because I have never had to pick out of algae before and it is a new thing.

Weirdness of weather

Today was one of those day's where I just wanted to stay in the bed. I told myself this morning as I do when I don't want to get up to go to class. "Bev you just have two classes today and one of them is your Creative Writing class that you like to go to." So needless to say I got up. Spanish class went by suprisingly fast and Creative Writing was its usual laid back fun class. After my classes I went to work. I work on campus so I walk to there. On the way there it was really erie because there was a huge black cloud in the sky. It was erie because after the last time there was a huge black cloud devastation happened to New Orleans. That cloud was kind of intimidating. I went into work and worked for three hours and after that I came home. Walking back to my car was a better walk because the cloud had passed and blue sky was beginning to come through the clouds.

I am not an idiot after all

It turns out that I am not an idiot after all. There was an actual assignment called ESCRITURA. Luckily nobody else found it either, except one girl, so it is due tomarrow. They should make it easier to find things when they set up a class with online/computer work.

Wo, Wo, Wo, I can not believe I did that.

In my spanish class part or our grade is composition. I consist of things called cyberjournals and things that we look up on the internet. Knowing this now I will tell my story. This afternoon I had a lot of spanish homework that i needed to do before tomarrow. For part of this homework I had to look up two spanish restaurants and write down what I would like to order if I was actually ordering something from these places. I was supposed to print it out in order to take it to class tomarrow. I did that. I look at my syllabus to see what else I had to do and saw some activities that were supposed to be done on the internet. Then the next thing that is on my syllabus, due tomarrow, is in big letters ESCRITURA. So I'm thinking I need to go back on the Internet and find this ESCRITURA that I am supposed to do and write something in spanish, but I did not know what I was supposed to write. I am sitting there for at least two hours or more trying to find this ESCRITURA that I am supposed to do. I at least read my syllabus 6 or 7 times trying to figure this out. Finnally at five o'clock today I figure out that the ESCRITURA is the restaurant thing that I did. ESCRITURA means compostition type thing (actually it means writing in Spanish) I felt so much like an idiot because I was looking for somethings that I had already done for TWO HOURS!!!!!!!!

Some people and blackberry bushes are similar because once you get past their thorns you can experience their tasty goodness. On the outside some people seem like they are a mean person that wants to hurt people and do not want them to know who they really are. Once you get past their thorny outsides you find their blackberry goodness.

This weekend

This weekend was a good weekend. I went home Friday night spent the night in Magnolia because my cousins baby shower was the next day. Saturday we went to the shower. It was cool to see everything that my cousin got. She got a good deal of stuff that she needs to have for her first baby. It was good to see her because we don't get to see each other very often because she is down there and I am in Tuscaloosa. While I was there I got to see a good friend of hers that went to high school with us. She had her little boy with her. He was so cute. I also got to see another girl that was in my older brothers class and her little four year old girl. It is amazing how much she looks like her mother. I was able to visit with my aunts and other cousins that I don't get to see that often. Sunday I went to church and came home and did nothing for the rest of the day except sleep and watch tv.

What's up with that?

I wake up at 7:00, which I have decided to do that even if i don't have an 8:00 class, and go to my SOC 101 class. I'm not fussing mind you. On little website calender that my teacher has made it says we will be in class from 8:00-8:50am. We were there for a total of tweenty minutes, then he let the class go. Now I have more time to do his quizes that are due tonight, but I kind of makes me worry, what kind of class this is. Do I work hard in that class, that has a lot of busy work outside of class like my other classes, or worry about my other classes and just do enough to get by?

John Marcher is gay!!!

So obviously I joined blogger today. It is a pretty cool idea. So, I have made a decision for what I want my major to be. I have definately decided to go into English. It took me two years to decide but I have finally done it. What finnaly confirmed it is my literature class today. We were reading "Beasts of the Jungle" by Henry James. In the book to male character has a secret that he keeps with a woman he had met. The secret is about him. Today, my teacher was trying to get us to guess what the secret was. The whole time I was reading this story I was thinking that this male character was gay. I was right!!! Well there isn't really a right answer in english, but I was thinking what the teacher was thinking. That may not seem that exciting, but it is when you have been trying to decide what you want to major in for two years.
