Back 2 School

Well, summer's almost out, and it back to school we go--and there was much rejoicing: yay.
lol anyways, i finished my summer course in speech a couple weeks ago, and i'm pleased to announce that i got my grades back FINALLY, and i made and 'A' in the class. of course, his class is a pretty easy 'A' anyways...if u show up and give your speeches, u basically got it. plus, we were supposed to do 3 speeches, 3 quizes, and a final test...and we did 2 speeches, 1 quiz, and the final...and the quiz and the final were exactly the same except for 5 extra questions at the end of the final. that's because all he did for the first 2 weeks was TALK and TALK about completely random things that had nothing to do w/ speech whatsoever. not that i minded, or anything, of course...lol ;) then, it took us 1 1/2 weeks to get thru all 12 of the 1st speeches, because he talks after each speech for like 1/2 an hour. lol so, i went in completely mortified, but came out fairly content. it wasn't near as bad as i had imagined. so, if you go to Hill College here in Texas, get Prof. J.P. Kyle (sp?) for public speaking. :D

so, i also finally got my room assignment a few days ago, and i'm only 2 doors down from my previous room. it's kinda sad...i had grown sort of attached to my room. but oh well, at least my new room is still on the back, which i really like. it's not inside like the rest of the dorms. I should be signing up for my classes pretty soon...i still need to go get a time card. and in the meantime i'm reorganizing my belongings. because being stored in baskets all summer meant that if i needed something, i hadda go dig it out. consequentially, the room the baskets were stored in is now a complete disaster, so i've been working on putting everything back in their baskets, etc. plus, for my birthday and Christmas of last year i got about 50 different body washes, soap, body spray, and lotion to go with me to my dorm....so i'm taking one of everything and leaving the rest here for my family to use. cuz since it's just me using the stuff, a whole bottle of body wash lasts me nearly a whole school year...lol.

Anyways, oh! i almost forgot: i found out that Celtic Woman is going to record a new performance in Ireland! i can't wait for the dvd. i hope it's the same performance i saw last month...that way my family can see it too! :D i'm also anxiously awaiting Enya's new single to hit the stores: Someone Said Goodbye. oh, speaking of Enya, 2 nights ago i watched King Arthur for the very first time. it wasn't all that great, but at the credits a lady started singing, and luckily we had the closed captions on, and it said "Moya Brennan." that's Enya's sister! *sqeals* i've always wanted to hear her. unfortunately, dad had the satelite programmed to record a football game that came on right after the movie...so it cut off 5 seconds into the song. i was ticked. but i'm better now.

well, i can't think of anything else right now, so TTFN, ta ta for now!! :D
