So I’ve decided that I really want a Mac laptop. Specifically, one of these or one of these. Why you ask? Well considering Bill Gates proposed charging people to send e-mail a few days ago, I am trying to get as far away from Microsoft as possible before they take over the world. Plus, those two computers are good looking, fast for their processers, and Apple has a student discount program. So, if you are in the mood to buy me something, make it a computer or an iPod.

I have to endure 3 hrs. of class today and then I am off for Spring Break. I have a lot of things that I want to get done and hopefully will get done, as long as time permits.

Since Courtney will be in town I think that she and I will be hanging out, because we’ll both be bored without some company. School of Rock is out on DVD so I may pick that up and see if it’s any good.

Well the hardest day before Spring Break is now over, thank the Lord. The Managerial Accounting test was hard, but not to the extreme. There were a lot of questions that were thrown in just to goof us up, some of them I caught but I am guessing I missed a few.

Now I’m just ready for my break and free time to actually work on this site that I have neglected for so long. I have actually thought about turning it into a content site with my Marketing papers and Contract Law cases but we’ll see…

Well, can it?! Lyndsay is already on break!

The Accounting test is tomorrow night which gives me tonight and part of tomorrow to finish up studying and take it. Then the rest of the week is a breeze and I can coast right into my break. However, guess what I am doing for Spring Break… You guessed it, working. I have mixed emotions about that because

1. It’s Spring Break
2. I really, seriously, need a break

But, I need the money and this is going to give me the perfect opportunity to make some extra cash. Since I have my own project right now this is a great time for me to jump ahead on it and finish early.

Well two tests down and one to go…. Of course the last test is the hardest. I need a break from school very badly, it’s really starting to get to me. I just need to get through next week and then I am off for Spring Break.

I am planning on finishing my article for WebDevReviews.com on Wednesday of next week so take a look at it if you get a chance.

Well, I made a `B` on my Marketing test. I hate True/False questions, one word screws up the statement and makes it the exact opposite of your choice. yuck!

So what does the rest of this week hold?

• Business Law test on Thursday
• Java Project on Monday
• Managerial Accounting test on Tuesday

I am ready for Spring Break already, how sad is that? I think I will just be working all of Spring Break which will give me time to work on the look of the site. I have a template in mind that I think will look very good. I am also going to be turning the site into a content site, with my little weblog having it’s own little space.

Here is a background I kind of worked on… Hope you like it. Blossoms. To make it your background just right click on the image and choose “Set As Background” and you’re all set.

Oh wow, I completely forgot that I have a Marketing test tomorrow, so tonight it looks like studying will be the numero uno priority. We are covering B2B and Retailing so I am thinking that it won’t be too awfully hard, but then again, you never know.

As far as other tests go I have a Business Law test on Thursday and then my second Accounting test a week from tomorrow (Tuesday). So a bunch of studying will be going on this week and weekend. I want to focus on the Accounting test because I think everything else will be somewhat easier.

Well I had an awesome birthday thanks to my mom, Lyndsay, and Lyndsay’s mom! I knew my mom was driving out here to see me but had no idea about Lyndsay and her mom, so basically I got a nice surprise when they showed up. We hung out, toured Texas Tech campus.

Lyndsay’s mom got me a Jelly Belly machine!! All I can say is w00t w00t!! Lyndsay bought me some really good books, Billy Madison, a scented candle, and a decorative candle. She also made me a birthday card which rocked! Props to her! My mom got me a water purifier for my sink (which I desperately needed), a crock pot, and a gift certificate to Rosa’s!

We had a really good time, on Saturday we went to the mall and did a little shopping/looking around. Then we went to a steakhouse for a good ‘ole fashioned Texas steak, mmmm. Lyndsay and I were supposed to go to the drive-in theater here but by the time we left the steakhouse it was too late, so we headed home and watched Happy Gilmore and some Simpson’s episodes. Oh, and we watched the rest of the Robin Williams Live on Broadway special.

All in all I had a great birthday and I am glad that my mom, Lyndsay, and Lyndsay’s mom took the time to come out here. I hope they had a good time!

Well I know I haven’t posted anything about computers in a while but, too bad… I have discovered that people say they want one thing but when something better comes along they want that too.

Last year we had the problem with prayer/Pledge of Allegiance in schools, some said that there should be a separation of Church and state. Ok, fine. Now those same people want laws that say it is ok for gays to marry… hmmm… Where’s the separation of Church and state now?? Are they saying that it is not ok for the Church to have influence in state but it is ok for the state to control the Church? What gives? If you want a separation, then take it but realize that the separation applies to both parties. What I mean is, the Church should not have to marry gays just because the state says so. I know that marriage has become more of a legal contract than a Biblical contract so if the state wants to have its own legal binding contracts for gays, go ahead, but don’t tell the Church that they have to marry them.

Well I said I was going to post a quote and I am going to follow through. The following is a letter written by Alison Bradley, the granddaughter of John Bradley, the last flagraiser on Iwo Jima to pass away (1997). Her highschool class was asked to write a letter to the person that they admired most, Alison chose her grandfather. I have chosen to only post a small part of the letter, to fully understand and appreciate it, get the book.

“Why did you not tell us about the Navy Cross?

And how about the time that Congress stopped and the Senate lined up to shake your hand? Why did you never sit us on your knee and tell us these stories?

The only answer I can give myself is that you were a quiet, modest, and honorable man who did not bask in glory. The only words you spoke in front of a camera were ‘I was in a certain place at a certain time. None of us are real heroes; we all just jumped in and lent a hand.’ “

James Bradley goes on to write, “After spending five years researching their lives, the boys certainly seem like heroes to me.”
