Ball and other things

I know this has taken me forever to post but for a while I thought that my card reader for my camera was lost and I just remembered where it is the other day. I just loaded the few pictures that I took in Virginia and the one you see above was taken in the hotel room. There are not really any others to show. We got a formal picture done at the place but for you to see that, you will have to come to my house. Overall I had a good weekend in Virginia. The ball was all right. The steak was apparently delicious or that is what Travis said. The rice and string beans were decent and the rolls as well. That is all I really have to comment about for that weekend so I will end that there.

On to other news. The semester is almost over. The last day of classes if on December 9th! My goodness, how time flies. I have so much to do between now and then because all 4 of my papers are due that week. I am hoping to get an essay done Thanksgiving weekend and maybe start on another. There is just no time for anything. The good news if that I have a rough idea of what I want to write about for each of my essays. We shall see how things go. I have a three day school week this week because of Thanksgiving so that will be nice. I am going home Wednesday night because I have a class from 4 to 6:45. The professor said that he will probably let us out at 6. I doubt many people will even go because everyone wants to get home and some people live far away and have to leave early. I will let you know if I am the only one in class that day. It will be an interesting class, I am sure. Not sure what else to write about so I am done.

Boredom in the Language Lab

What is this?  A new post from me?  I know it is hard to believe for those of you who still check this lovely blog of mine.  I am at my job right now (the language lab) and I do not really feel like studying for my Spanish exam that is this afternoon at 4.  I know I will get some studying done before I have to take it so I am content with just typing a post right now.  There is nothing to report on my life right now.  School is busy, work is interesting, and the apartment is noisy.  This weekend I am going down to Virginia to attend the Marine Corp Ball to celebrate its birthday.  I hear the cake might be a white one so that is not cool.  No cake for me then.  Also, no meal for me because the vegetarian option is mushroom ravioli and seeing as I do not like ravioli or mushrooms, I will be eating only bread and water.  Travis, on the other hand, gets both the beef and the chicken so we are not wasting food.  Lucky for him.  I leave on Thursday at night and I stay until Sunday afternoon.  It should be a good weekend and I will be sure to post pictures so you can look forward to another post by yours truly.  I know at least one person out there will be excited for my continuation of this blog.  I am not sure I will keep up with it but we shall see.  

I have the day off tomorrow for election day and I am super excited.  Tuesdays are always my longest days because I have class from 11 to 4:45 and then work from 6 to 9.  Now I don't have to deal with that tomorrow.  Maybe I will take the time to write another blog.  A funny story happened to me recently that I am considering posting but it might not be appropriate to put online.  I will consult with my people and get back to you all.  All two of you who are actually reading this and who already know the story.  I think I will read some more of Mansfield Park.  Have a good day everyone and wish me luck on my Spanish exam!
