Great things happening!

SmileyHi everyone, I've had an interesting time since I last posted an entry.  Last Monday (the 13th),  I had a car accident on the way home from school that night .  Working at Burger King til 3:00 a.m. on the weekends definitely caught up wth me, I was very tired.  I swerved off the road and into a ditch, ended up straddling the ditch.  But God was watching over me .  I was wearing my seatbelt, plus the airbags went off too, so that kept me from getting seriously injured.  A kind person, who was driving behind me at the time, stopped to help me and called 911, even though they were on their way to work.  And, it was a good thing that I was driving less than the speed limit.  The police officer said that, if I had been going the speed limit, I would have ended up hitting the telephone pole.  So thankful for God watching over me......things could have been much worse.

As for me, I got scratched up by some glass, plus my neck and back were sore and stiff.  I had to take some medicine for a few days but I'm doing better now.  My car was totaled, but I was able to get a used car last Saturday (I guess it helps to have some money set aside in savings for such emergencies).  Other good news.......I've been hired to be a camp counselor this summer at a Christian summer camp Smiley! I also got accepted into one of the colleges I applied to  Smiley!  Lol, can you tell that I am just a little excited?  I am so looking forward to all of this, so exciting!

School has been going alright for me, but Biology is giving me trouble so I am getting some help with that class.  Valentine's day was nice, we all were given candy, lol, it was great!Smiley  We also had a  Quiz Bowl yesterday, students against the teachers, and I was the captain of my team of students.  The questions were on Black History since February is Black History month.  We all were given questions to study for the past couple of weeks and yesterdy was the showdown.  It was kind of set up like a game show with buzzers to push, it was a lot of fun.  In the end, it was the students' team that won....Smiley

Have a great weekend!

Short and Simple

Since I am in the middle of studying for three tests next week, this post will be short and simple, lol.Smiley  This past week's schoolwork included putting together my speech outline, filling out two studyguides, turning in my proposal for my Biology experiment, taking a quiz in Argument-based Research, writing a paper for this same class, and also Math homework.Smiley  Phew, that's a lot of schoolwork!  Biology was kind of fun the other day when we did lab.....we made homemade bread in the teacher's bread machine Smiley, it was a fun way to experiment with yeast!  My Economics class is causing me some confusion Smiley I just don't get the stuff at all, so I will be getting some tutoring for that class.  I might need to get tutoring for Biology too but I will wait and see on that one. 

Other stuff.....my job at Burger King stresses me to no end sometimes, sigh, it's ridiculous what one has to put up with when it comes to irate customers.  I have put in applications at other places, but I haven't heard anything yet. 

As for the college I want to transfer to this Fall, I have already put in two applications at two different colleges.  My first choice of college turned me down and told me I needed one more Math class (College Algebra) to be accepted.....they require this class of their transfer students.  My second choice of college has not answered me back yet, so I am still waiting on an answer from them.

Inspite of my busy week, I did take time watch Duke University beat UNC the other night.  SmileyWhat a game!  Freshman guard Austin Rivers sank a three-pointer at the last minute, lol, I was thrilled!  I am hoping they will win the championship, that remains to be seen.  What a team!
