Hope your father's birthday was good, even though he is having a tough time. I will keep your grandfather, father and entire family in my thoughts, heart and prayers. Thanks. When I called my dad, he had just landed from flying, and it was a gorgeous day out, so I think he had a good day despite the fact that Mom, my sister, and I are all out of state. We'll celebrate his birthday on Friday when we come home for the weekend of mass insanity. I'm glad to hear your father had a beautiful day for being up in the skies with the birds. Have you ever read the book, Tuesdays With Morrie. If you haven't read it, you should, especially now. Never heard of it, actually. What's it about? It is a really short book, that is a true story. Mitch Albom is a sports writer for The Detroit Free Press (I believe this is the correct newspaper name), and the book is about him spending Tuesday's with a professor he had when he was attending university. His story is about their meetings and the profound effect the professor had on him. I absolutely, positively guarantee you will love it and you will walk away with a deeper meaning. I do hope you get it from the library and read it. This book is one you can't put down and you will finish it in a flash.

Thanks I got ahold of the provost (or at least several people that work for him) and have determined that my scholarship will not be affected by withdrawing from class. I also discovered a lack of secondary ed/psych double major checksheets in with the rest of the check sheets, so I hope I can actually claim it as a legitimate double major (don't see why not). I have a meeting with my advisor tomorrow morning, and have to start picking classes for next semester asap. So hopefully all that will go well. Sounds like you are opening some new doors and will get what you want. What are the benefits of claiming a double major or having a major and a minor? All education majors here are required to have a second major. Nothing like putting pressure on soon-to-be teachers. I had no idea. You don't also need a minor as well, do you? lol really. Actually, the required double major is one of the reasons I picked this college. Speaking of that, I talked to my advisor this morning, he supports my idea of taking the psych second major, but I have to get all sorts of crazy permissions and stuff like that. Basically, psych isn't listed as a double major for secondary ed because you can't get a job just teaching psych (or at least it's really hard) without having some other degree in, like, history or science or something. However, I'm planning more on the counseling idea, and if I'm going to be working with high school aged kids, I'd like the secondary ed degree too. So the idea is that instead of psych being the second major to my secondary ed, the secondary ed is more like the sedond major to my psych. If that makes sense. In the mean time, I need to get permission to resgister for my psych classes (because I'm not yet a psych major) and then on Monday I need to talk to the associate dean of education and convince her to let me have psych as a second major. Add to this that I can start registering for classes on Friday. Oh, and I withdrew from my bio class today, so I now effectively have four-day weekends (not counting Choir Monday nights). Sounds like you have had a really busy day today. Sometimes I wonder how doing something simple can take so much time and energy and running back and forth between different people. In today's world, you would think that your advisor could just email the associate dean of education and get this all accomplished in a day, instead of a week. Good luck. Four-day weekends... yeah!!! I need a couple of those.

I did, but I didn't think you would want advice from an old male hamster.

One of your dead husbands?

That Department Chair appears to need a frontal lobotomy. Psych is great and you would love the field. Besides, you can hang your own shingle out and have your own business. I have a friend who is a psychologist and he is the coolest guy, has his own office and makes his profession work for him. I hope that works better.

OMG!!! I absolutely love that idea!!!!!!!

Let's pick a colour for her... I say a magenta ninja. What is she, the pink ranger? I miss the ninja saga from power rangers. Not Ninja Storm but the earlier one before the Zeo and Turbo sagas I think. Actually I only saw the movie that introduced it, so I guess that's why I miss it so much. I think the pink ranger had the Crane for her zord, Kay should have one too! Definitely!

Oh I don't know I was bored I guess. This is cool we never really talk. lol thats cuz my life stinks and i never have 4 seconds to myself :[ Oh I'm sorry to hear that. You should get to have your "you time" yea but i never do. my day is like -wake up -school -come home and have 30 mins me time -get ready for work with the rest of the time -work till 8 -fake dinner/something -treadmill -homework -shower -sleep and repeat :[ You should have more than 30 minutes to yourself. yea and all this week i have work till like 10. :[ so.. 10:20 home 10:30 eat something 10:45 treadmill 11:10 shower 11:35 homework ..ish yea, thats kinda terrible :\\ OMG I on;y work 2 hours on tuesdays and thursdays but that's cause of child labor laws I'm only 14. haha well your lucky. id never ever have a 2 hour shift xp Bleh. I hate working. But me needs money. saaaaame how much do you make an hour? / a week? Like $100 a week. I forgot how much an hour and I don't want to do the math.:] You don't have to do any math, just say how many hours you work per week. that involves numbers witch I consider math. Oh. I thought you might have a set schedule where you worked a set number of hours per week.

I am at a total loss as to why this would happen. My first thought is that he didn't keep her dish really full, just gave her a little every day. My second thought was that there was not enough in her cage to keep her occupied. For example, all our cages have so many things, that we have lots of things to do and such a wide variety of things to eat, that we have no desire to gobble things down. Tomorrow, I am calling our favorite veterinarian to see what he thinks. This is clearly beyond my expertise.

Um, well we had a power outage for 4 hours on Thursday. Everyone was being obnoxious cause they were board. Fortunately I had my can'tthinkpad, my iBook, my iPod, and my DS all with good amounts of battery life to keep me occupied. Oh, and music theory homework. Otherwise it's just the people on my floor being dumb. Like drawing X rated things on signs (I consider it a sign of creativity to be interesting without being X rated) and playing wiffle ball in the common room. And the girls that come over to our suite do even worse things that I won't mention here. I don't know. I'm kind of tired of college life at the moment. People acting out things they only thought of when they lived under their parent's roof.

I miss you Glowurm.

ha ha por quaa? i love ranting when im kinda tipsy lol Well, your writing is still great, tipsy or not. As for the hug, you just needed it for no reason.

Life must be going good for him! Or at least I certainly hope so. Yes, overall it is. My academic writing teacher loves my writing, as he said in our conference. I got a 100 on the first paper and I'm going to get either a 95 or a 100 on the second one, and I will have at least an A for my midterm grade. He wished that I was majoring in English. Math class is pretty straight forward. I got a 93 on the first test, and for quiz grades I have two 100's and a 93. I also got an A- on my first project (he liked my sketches for the 3D graphs, haha...I thought they were horrible!) My French class is fun but kind of tough for me in terms of analyzing films. I am horrible at analyzing works of art. The midterm is coming up soon, I hope I will do okay... History has lots and lots of reading. The first exam is on Tuesday and I'm trying to study lots for it. Congratulations!!!!! You are doing really, really great!!!!!!!!!

*decides to give Lauren a big hammy bear hug* :blink: :blink:
