Winning Day

"If you obey all the rules you miss all the fun."
Katherine Hepburn

I don't know if I agree with this QOD. I think I obey the rules and I have alot of fun. This subject may be debatable I suppose. Your comments are welcome on this subject.

The GAMECOCKS won 15 - 0. That is right ladies and gentlemen, a shut out. There were some seriously spectacular plays and then alot of evidence that we are going to need to beef up our tactics a little more before Georgia next week. We ended the 2005 season second in the SEC East and will be #1 until there is another SEC match-up. It may just be statistics, but it sounds good. I hope we can stay up there this year!

I had my final class of the week today. This is going to be the most time consuming of my classes I think, but I am truly looking forward to the work. We read chapters from our multiple texts, then 7-10 articles off of Lexus-Nexus and Blackboard, and we wrap it up with 3-5 documents from corporate, government, and non-profit organizations. Then class time is devoted to discussion, not even necessarily of the texts. I like the idea that my "homework" is not just a repetition of material. I have the opportunity to be my own teacher.

Since tomorrow is a day off for me I am going to head into town and make photocopies of the approximately 500 page document pack and get some spiral notebooks for class. I am also going to get to the post office to mail some stuff that I couldn't get sent out today. (Apparently the post office and UPS have two shipping options right now: Expensive delivered sometime this week and Not Expensive delivered sometime as far away as November. I was kind of hoping for a two week option. Here's to finiding a happy medium.)

Then I found some really great stuff to do Saturday! Daytime will definitely be spent at the National American History Museum as it closes in just a few days for renovation (until 2008). Then, there is a Stephen Shwartz medley (Godspell, Wicked) for FREE on the Millenium Stage at the Kennedy Center. I am very excited. Hurray for free entertainment. Anyone interested in joining me is more than welcome.

All this and I managed to finally organize my filing cabinet with labels and everything. Oh, and I made my Excel budget sheets and ordered my textbooks. Not overly adventureous but at least it is good news. I did get brave and open my window (since it is not sealed against the every swarming insect community outdoors). Okay, that is a stretch.

I hope all is well with you my faithful readers! Love always, ~Heather
