Updates of the general kind, again.....

So . . . I love that in my last post, I said midterm, instead of final.

All done with finals, think I passed all of them, we shall see we shall see. I'm home now, my wonderful mommy came up and got me yesterday. It took us FOREVER to get all of my stuff in the truck - I have a lot of stuff.

Now, its just a matter of unpacking, and moving stuff around. I have to clean out the back room, get all the yardsale stuff ready, and deal with the living room.

Continued prayers are appreciated for my family; and I would still love to hear from you all about prayer requests.

Trivia!!!!! Actually, the wall is called the soregh. That was for my Biblical Backgrounds class!!!!

New trivia: in Biblical times, when were most war campaigns started?

I can't think of anything else to say . . . so I'll leave it off at that.

Have a good weekend - love you all!!!!

New trivia: What is the name of the low wall that separated the Jew from the Gentiles at the 'Second Temple' in Jerusalem???

Love you all!!!!!

Did you see the sun rise this morning?

Me neither. But not because I wasn't up, because the clouds and the raining yucky were covering it up and we had to have the Sunrise service inside. Sad day, let me tell you.

Anyway. So Friday I . . . renewed my license, and that's pretty much it. Oh, and I went to my best friend's birthday dinner (I'm not going to tell you that I was late, really late). Saturday I . . . gotta think for a minute. Saturday I pretty much just watched TV. Today, Sunrise (inside :( ), breakfast, Sunday School, Church, lunch, Easter Egg Hunt (my nieces are SOOO cute!!!). Then we watched Chronicles of Narnia (mom hadn't seen it yet) and then Joce helped me download ringtones. And then I went to the storage pod and moved some stuff around and got some stuff out. Now we're watching a movie. Good times!!!!

I need something really cool to post about - not like something that happened or is going to happen. Something . . . something that I thought of, or saw or interpreted or something. But if I waited for something smart and impressive to post about, I'd never post!!!!

Trivia answer: V-J Day stands for "Victory in Japan" day, it was August 14, 1945; and surrender was signed on the USS Missouri (GOOD JOB ANNA!!!) on September 2, 1945.

New trivia . . . Who were the original 5 permanent members of the United Nations Security Council? (Hint: they are the same as the permanent members today.)

Leaving now, love you all!!!! Skippy

P.S. Four days of classes left!!!! And then finals . . . .

From the home front . . .

"Life's a dance you learn as you go, sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow. Don't worry 'bout what you don't know, life's a dance you learn as you go."

Now that I've gotten that out of my system. I'm HOME!!!!!!! For four days!!!!!! I did indeed make it home for dinner on Thursday night, and it was wonderful!!!!!

Tuesday I went to a traditional Jewish Passover meal, talk about a new experience. It was so amazing to get to do that, I have a new respect not only for God our Father but for His people. Wednesday was lots of working, and Thursday was classes and cleaning and driving HOME!!!!

Today I get to go renew my license, whoo-oo. And oh, before I forget: Happy Birthday Becc!!!!

In answer to the second trivia question: four. Count them four. In a 12 day period. Its insane.

In answer to the first trivia question: I'm impressed!!!!! Who is responsible for that Anonymous comment? Cuz that's awesome, I'll I was looking for was Commander of the Central Pacific fleet in WWII.

Ummm. New Trivia . . . (think WWII, that's what we're learning about in World Civ, so that's what you get) what day is V-J day and where was the Japanese surrender signed?

Love to all, have a good weekend.

Darth Vader

Why? Because that's what I see on my wall that makes an interesting title.

I really don't like allergies. Really really don't like rubbing my nose raw and being all stuffed up and sinus drainage and I just don't like any of it. And I know that some of you are thinking "Yuck!! That's gross!!!" And to you I say "deal, be glad you don't have them." I know that some of you are sympathizing with me (mainly my sisters, we all have them, you can't deny it) and wish that allergies everywhere would just die out.

Anyway. Not much has happened in the past four days. I did homework this weekend, and spent some time with some old friends. And actually got to watch some movies. And today in class - nothing exciting happened. Except that I did really good on a quiz that my Theory II professor decided not to grade. Handy huh? Oh and I got to talk to two friends that I haven't talked to in forever. AND - my sister brought over dinner for me and my roommates and the girls across the hall - and it was ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL. I love people who feed college students, they deserve medals.

Trivia - the name of the actual 'operation' was Sea Lion - don't ask me why. And it failed - Germany tried for nearly a year to get into Britain and they never made it.

New Trivia question: Who was Admiral Nimitz?
Trivia question #2: How many of my CLOSE friends have their birthday in the month of April? Specifically in a two week period that started on the 7th?

Love to all,

From Skippy

P.S. I will be home for dinner on Thursday night!!!!!!

Hey all . . .

First off: Dad updates.

Dad started chemo on Monday March 20^th. Two Mondays with treatment, one off to recuperate – repeated four times. He came through the first Monday okay, the second his white cell count was so low that they only gave him half a dose. Friday we found out he has pneumonia; he spent Friday – Tuesday at Enloe. They did a spinal tap so we know now for sure that the cancer hasn't traveled to his brain. They've decided to stop the chemo because the possible benefits don't outweigh the risks. He's still as confused as ever.
So please pray for my family, I appreciate it. Thanks!!!

Okay - also. Another week of homework and work. Becc was in an opera - that was AWESOME. And we had 'shopping cart' races at school - it was like Nascar Simpson Style.

The answer to the last trivia question - somewhere just under 250. For one test.

Let's take a look ahead - this weekend, homework and begin studying for finals. Next week - homework and work and classes and HOME ON THURSDAY!!!!! And then back to school Monday evening, classes Tuesday - Friday. CRAZY study weekend, then I have:

Music Theory II 8 am on Monday
World Civ II 10:30 am on Monday
Biblical Backgrounds 8 am on Tuesday
Faith and Culture 1 pm on Tuesday
Music Theory Lab II 1 pm on Wednesday
Music in History and Context 1 pm on Thursday

And then I crash. On second thought - I'll probably crash before then.

Anyway, so that's the plan.

I love you all and I miss you all and I hope that you have a GREAT weekend!!!!!

Skippy

Oh yeah - Trivia!!!!! WWII - what was the operation name of the German attempt to invade England? This took place from July of 1941 until June of 1940.
