My computer has reached Memphis. It would be such a joy if it arrived tomorrow.
Ian and I kick major butt at Roller Coaster Tycoon. We are dropping out of school to pursue our dream of managing a theme park. I have email Disney our RCT parks. They will call on Monday with the final word. They said we are promising young imaginears. I doubt we'll start at DisneyWorld. We'll probably get sent to Tokyo Disney, and then Disneyland Paris. Either way, I'm ready to go!!! I've canceled all my fall classes and packed my bags!!!!
Mother and Father are here. I cannot contain my excitement. . . .but I'll die trying.
Ian's gone to Greenville. I miss him. I'll see him in a few days. Hopefully I'll still recognize him. It's hard to forget a curly headed asian. Luckily he has a peg leg, so he'll be easy to identify.

Update with my schedule. I added karate. I think I will end up dropping it, but I'll go the first few days. Now I have a class with Mr. Odom. He has a new name. It's giggles. KB ran Mr. Odom into the ground.

With the passing of my computer I have decided to get another. I have gone through the morning period and now see the light at the end of the tunnel. After browsing many websites and doing some research out in the field, I decided to get a Sony. Why you ask, well, because father suggested it, and I got a good deal. I went to the web site and looked at their clearance stuff. Warranties are very important to me now, and this one comes with a three year one. What is covers, I'm not sure, but a warranty is better that none at all.
Here are the details:
Operating System=Windows® XP Pro
Processor=CEL 2.0GHz
Memory=512 MB
Hard Drive=60 GB
LCD Display=12.1Â XGA
Optical Drive=CD-RW/DVD-ROM
Battery=Standard
Software=Works
Warranty=3 Years
Service=No Viao Overseas Service
VAIO Creation Suite Software=VAIO® Creation Suite STANDARD Package
All that for 1259.99 + 40 (shipping) + 91 (tax) = 1390.99 The original price was around $1800. This way I don't have to worry about rebates. Hopefully it will be a worthy replacement. I also saved about 50 bucks in tax because it's being shipped to Mississippi instead of Tennessee (at least that's what I think, since the price dropped that much when I put in the shipping address).
I'm not really sure what's wrong with my hp. I reformated it again last night. It was working fine until I installed my network card. I think there might have been something wrong with the software I downloaded from the linksys site, but I could be wrong. Yesterday when Mr. Odom was looking at it, it wouldn't evrecognizeize the hard drive. It did later, but then stopped working. I tried to start it in safe mode, but it wasn't going to do it. I want to drop kick it.
As I was spellchecking I noticed this, Viao is spelled two different ways: vaio and viao. Sony is crazy!!!!!!! I'm so proud to own one.

Today was registration day. It was good. It started out not so good. I overslept and was 15 minutes late to French. It doesn't matter, because everyone always comes in late to that class, but today was the first time for me. After I got out of class, I came back to the apartments and registered.
I've put off taking comp II another semester, or year. I know I need to get it done, but not right now. The real reason is that I want to take a class by a little professor called Fee. You might remember her from such Rory Kennedy Documentaries such as "This Boy's Life". I will be taking her class this summer.

Geography is an online class. Hopefully I will keep all these classes, and do well in all of them. I am a tad worried about tennis and walking, but I will devote myself to studying five hours a day for each.
Summer and Fall Semesters, I await your arrival.
