my computer

My computer is such a hassle. It has a problem with the power cord adapter and hardly ever charges. I have only had my computer for about a year and rarely used it until recently. Now I have discovered that is it way too big for packing around campus and needs a better battery. It has also feels the need to freeze up on me and is incredibly slow at times. Unfortunately, I'm pretty much an idiot when it comes to fixing computers so it appears that I am stuck with these problems at least for the next 6 years or until I can afford a new and better computer!

Volleyball

Volleyball is a very intense sport. I like to play it recreational wise, but not as a serious sport. I try to play decent and do my best. Yet, I still pretty much suck, along with any other attempt I make at trying to play sports. However, playing just for fun is a great way to spend time with your family and friends without getting in to any trouble. Maybe by some miracle I will become athletic one day, but I highly doubt that. I guess I will just have to keep putting up an effort and try my absolute best not to embarrass myself!!

Spring Break

Spring break is almost here. Only one more week and then i get five whole days off from school. Unfortunately, I am not going to the beach or anywhere, but I will able to relax and enjoy my break. I am not sure what I will be doing over the week, but I do know that it will involve getting some sun and catching up on some much needed sleep. I may even try to get ahead in some of my classes by doing some assignments early. Who knows? I am just ready for it to get here!!!

Mardi Gras

Mardi Gras is basically just a huge party. It is maily celebrated in the south but some other states do participate by offering their own variation of mardi gras. Parade, beads, obscene sites, and more can all be witnessed within just a few hours of the "party." In New Orleans, the party is absolutely wild! I haven't been to many parades in the crescent city, but the few that I have been to, consisted of some shocking events. Although mardi gras can be a large amount of fun, it can also be rather dangerous. Crimes often happen as people become intoxicated and bumped in large crowds. Yes, mardi gras is fun, but one must take caution.

Skiing

Skiing is a very intense sport. People who do it often make it look so easy. However, one is easily deceived by looks. It is actually a tough sport to master and takes some time. When you do get the hang of it, it proves to be quite enjoyable. I love to ski but the weather is much different from the warm humid weather in Louisiana that I am used to. With temperatures as low as eight degrees, skiing downhill at a fast pace may not seem like fun, but as long as you do not crash it is. Skiing is definitely a favorite thing of mine to do. I strongly suggest that one should do it at least once in their lifetimes. The scenery is also a plus to this sport. Some of the most beautiful scenery is seen here. I love how the sun beams on the mountain tops. Skiing is a great way to vacation and is very enjoyable.

Best Friends

Best friends are hard to find. Growing up, you meet new people all the time. However, trying to find people who you can trust and who will stand by you is extremely difficult and often rare. I have some close friends but only a few who I can be totally honest with. They are my best friends and we probably couln't make it through some things if it wasn't for each of us. We are so tight knit, that we could be sisters. At college, friends usually go to the same schools as one another. I, on the otherhand, went the complete opposite way from all of mine. It's hard at times but luckily I have met some really nice people and they help to make the transition alot better. Friends come and go but true friends will stick by your side no matter what!

Inauguragtion of Barack Obama

01/22/09

Obama took an oath of office and became the 44th President of the United States of America. The Inauguration had the largest turnout of spectators since Reagan was sworn in. I was amazed at the number of people that faired the chilly weather to watch history being made. Obama spoke eloquently and encouraged us to take action to turn our economy around. Even though he messed up a little on the oath, Obama delivered a strong speech. Hopefully, he will accomplish his goals prove to America that they made the right choice.
