a personal goal of mine

I've always wanted to do something in my life that would make people say "I could have never done that!" Of course in some cases people would say having 3 kids and going to school would qualify.

I've decided that I want to hike the appalachian trail from Georgia to Maine. I will have to do it in sections of course. I guess I'll start in Georgia and hike to virginia. then I'll pick up in virginia sometime later and just take it a little at a time.

I start school again tomorrow. Intermediate spanish 1 and 2. I'm not too excited because I have to work tonight so I'll be speeking sleepy spanish. (tomorrow I'll be saying "Necescito una siesta"

Adios for now.

You have to look hard because the video is kind of dark.

time to kill

I have a few minutes to kill so I'll type up a blog. Lucky you!

School is over! (for a few days) here's a list of my grades:
Supply chain management: B
Demand management: C
Portfolio management: C
Financial reporting and analysis: D

The last one is an accounting class and I have to have a C to get into the next class. I'll have to take it over in the fall or next spring. I only missed a C by 16 points and if the professor wasn't so stingy with effort points,(effort points= the points I deserve when I do all the work correctly and mess up just one number, which throws off my final answer) I would've gotten it.

I suppose I'll just have to get an A in it next time. but I will have to put off graduation for another semester. Possibly next summer or fall (2008)

I have to take intermediate spanish I and II this summer. All while I'll be renovating my kitchen. (new flooring, new cabinets/countertop, new appliances, etc.) So if you see me this summer I'll probably say something in spanish every now and then.

If I can get a picture of it, Shelly does the CUTEST thing. She will roll her eyes upward and bat her eyes. I'll try to get some video or something up on here.

I think I'll be mowing the yard this morning right after I take billy to school.

I've had a song chorus stuck in my head all night. It's called "hum, Hallelujah" by fallout boy:

So hum hallelujah
Just off the key of reason
I thought I loved you
It was just how you looked in the light
A teenage vow in a parking lot
Til tonight do us part
I sing the blues
And swallow them too

Thanks for reading, comments are appreciated.

well well well

I got up at 7:15 this morning to get Hannah fed/changed and I'm still awake. She went to sleep, and as I was getting ready to put her to bed, my son comes in here. I asked him if he wanted to go back to bed but he said "No I'm too hungry."

Last night I went to my mom's pinnng ceremony. And it's very motivating to see that after all her hard work and struggles, she's finally done with school. It just lets me know that I can hang in there just a little bit longer and I'll be done. I forgot that ceremonies can be very long. I actually dread what it's gonna be like at my graduation. Anyway, I'm proud of you mom.

I have a portfolio management final this tuesday. I dread it but I'm fairly close to a C. I should be studying for it but the material does not interest me at all. (and it's my collateral) I'm more worried about my accounting class because I have been trying all semester to make up for the first test which I made a 48/100 on. It wasn't that I didn't know the material, but I just made a bunch of dumb mistakes on it. I took my final for accounting on wednesday and probably won't get my grade until next wednesday. I need a 122/150 in order to pass the class.

I think I'm gonna stop now. I'm tired and need to get woke up and start reading.
