Big time slacker!!

Ok so I know that I said that I would try to post more often and it seems that I've been doing less than before... well I've been busy with the end of winter term! YAY the boringness is over. Well spring break was... what's the word? Interesting? I had a pretty good break, very relaxing and got quite a bit of stuff done. Now I'm back at school and have already started my week with a 8:30am class... now I have a 5+ hour break before my next class. I've already gone and paid tuition and gotten my books, well ordered them at least. Well I guess that's an update :) lol enjoy... I'll try to get better... or I'll at least keep trying to do better :)

WOW!

Ok so Em is totally right, she could have done a better job updating my blog for the last two weeks. I guess I've just had too much on my mind to enjoy writing for fun. What that really translates to is that I've got too much homework that I've put off until the last minute and now it's crunch time and I have to play catch up. I seriously must enjoy it, I do it EVERY term. Last term it was WR440 and this term it seems to be my ESOL class. I haven't done a single thing for that class and I have three papers due next Tuesday. Not to mention my grant proposal and resource card rationale.

I got to go home this past weekend and spend some quality time with Gramma and see the rest of the family who came to dinner on Sunday to celebrate my birthday. Dad and I spent some time in Gramma's yard gettin a head start on the season to come by mowing and doing some trimming. Believe it or not it was the first time I've ever mowed a yard! (More than the let me try as a kid that lasted no more than thirty seconds) I tried the gas trimmer too, but I wasn't so good at that one. My cousin bought me beautiful roses! Which are currently sitting on my desk.

I drove down Saturday afternoon and decided that I would stop by Bales to pick up two roses to take up to the cemetery. I then drove over there and decided to start by going to Papa's grave, only his headstone still isn't up there so I had to use my detective skills to find him. Well, I went to where I thought it was supposed to be and found what I thought was the spot, but I just wasn't positive so I decided I would walk around for a few moments and make sure I was in the right spot. There really was only the one spot it could be, but I wanted to be positive, so I called Mom. Mom suggested that I walk over to the office and inquire there. So I started to walk across the field to the office and I had taken no more than two steps away from the grave when the seeminly clear sky just opened up an poured on me. I'm serious there were a few clouds sure, this is Oregon, but they were beautiful white cumulus clouds! And here it was POURING on me as I walked across the field. Jokingly to mom I said, I guess Papa was trying to tell me I was in the right spot after all. I got to the road and was getting kinda cold with now being wet and everything, so I looked up and said "Ok, Papa I get the picture, you can stop the rain now." And just like it started the rains stopped. Yeah Ok so scientifically it was a cloud burst, but not to me. In the only way he could, he was trying to tell me that I was in the right place all along. I walked back to where I started and left my flower behind, and trekked on to my next stop, Brandon. I left my rose there and continued on to Gramma's house.

Well I've spent way more time than I planned writing right now and I only have 15 minutes to finish getting ready for class... So I must go...
