November Resolution

So, my parents and my brother bought me this awesome digital camera and printer for Christmas last year but it seems lately I have not been using it much. So, I am making a November resolution to include a picture in EVERY entry I post in my blog.

I think with my busy schedule and my lack of trips to Abilene the picture taking has come to standstill but that is about to change. There are still some pretty random things I see on a daily basis while going from home to school to home and back again. I'll probably start adding some pictures this month to get into the habit.....but next month, there will be one on EVERY post.

Stay tuned.

Way to go .... Morgan Le !!

So, my niece, Morgan entered a contest among 2nd graders to create a poster for National Fire Prevention Month. No one even knew she was doing it and the next thing you know she won for the whole 2nd grade at her school. Here is a picture of her with her poster and another picture of just the poster.

She went to an award ceremony last night where all of the other winning posters from other 2nd grades at other schools came together for an overall contest. She didn't finish in the top 3 but she got to ride in the basket of the firetruck - you can see her peeking out here :

She also won a bicycle and all the protective gear - and here it is in a picture with Morgan and her teacher Mrs. Phillips.

Way to go, Morgan Le !!

The Library

No, not the bar in downtown Ft. Worth....the REAL library. I need to read, read, read on my biology so I think when I get off of work tonight at 5:00p, I am going to go to the library. I could read at home but I always get distracted by something. Normally I would have biology class tonight, but we don't due to some personal thing my prof had to do tonight for his daughter. So, I think I will go read, at the library.

Nothing else going on this week......just more school and more work. If anything notable happens, I'll let ya know.

Where to begin.....

...this is what happens when I don't post regularly.

So, in school news......my trigonometry teacher has shingles, but she is managing to teach on. I had shingles many years ago, and basically I can tell you it is a re-emergence of the chicken-pox virus that manifests itself as a rash and ALOT of needle-piercing pain. Ouch.

Still dissecting the fetal pig in biology lab.....I was going to post some pictures of our pig which we have named 'Wilbur' from Charlotte's web, but I decided you guys probably wouldn't want that much information from my biology class. No tests this coming week, but probably the next week.

On Wednesday, I stopped by the new class of Cynergy Data's remote agents. Several of my friends from old jobs were in the class and I hung out with them for a couple of hours after delivering a batch of homemade chocolate chip cookies. After class, I took the two instructors out to Grapevine Mills Shopping Mall for some shopping.

Thursday morning I had a weird phone call with someone asking for "JoLynn" - which oddly is my sister's name. I told them that and they told me they were looking for a JoLynn Jennings which is not, nor has it ever been, my sister's name. It was very weird considering I had only had this number for a month and someone calls asking for a JoLynn, which is obviously an unusual name, and they get me, someone with a sister named JoLynn. Freaky.

Friday, class and work and trivia at No Frills Grill.

Yesterday, I had to meet up with the Cynergy Data instructors again for some training on some new stuff I am going to be doing at my job. The training was in the morning and then we had lunch. I had the rest of the day off which was nice.

Today, I am reading biology and doing some spot cleaning and organizing in between calls. I'll try to be more diligent with my postings this week.

Ciao.
