My sister and I

For such a long time; my sister refused to spend time with me. She treated me like I was not a part of the family, and then earlier this year she fell and sprained her ankle and bruised her knee. I felt so bad for her; she was in so much pain! My mom and I had plans that day, but as soon as we heard what happen, we dropped our plans and took her to emergency. I bought my sister dinner and Justin (her hubby) too. It was the beginning of a renewed relationship. That day, I think my sister came to realize that I really do care about her. Ever since, we have spent time together; not every week, but every once in a while and at least once a month. For that, I am truly grateful and I hope that this relationship with my sister will continue to get better.

What I'm reading

I am reading "The Flat Marriage Fix," by Karen Hayse. I am enjoying this book very much. There's not much to write about; I wish my life was not so boring, so I had stuff to write about.

Last week of School!

This is the last week of school. I have 3 assignments to complete, and I will be done and finished with school. I will glad when school is over with because then I can relax and also work on my room. I have to get my room cleaned up, so I can sleep in my bed again. I also hope that I can get some reading done too.

Feel sick as a dog

Hi Everyone,
I've been sick this week! It started with a sore throat and my ears hurting. Then it went to where every time I breathed, I felt pain inside my ears and my throat hurt. Now my sore throat has turned into a bad cough. I'm feeling worse and although I've taken cough drops; it has not seemed to help. I've also been drinking orange, banana, pineapple juice, so I'm getting lots of vitamin C.

School

School is going very well, but I am finding myself extremely stressed out. I am very far behind in one of my classes and it's just making me stress so much. I was working on my publisher assignments, and I started having problems with publisher that I just gave up. When I came home from school; I took a nap and slept from 5pm to 10pm. Now it's 11:35pm and I am ready to go to bed already.

The Color of my Soul

I just finished reading "The Color of the Soul," by Tracey Bateman. I loved this book so much, and I am very excited that it is a series and hope there is more than two books in the series. The series title is The Penbrook Diaries. The second book is called "The Freedom of the Soul."
This book was one I thought would take me a couple of weeks, and it only took me a week. It's longer than most books I read, and I read it quicker than expected.
Reading this book took me into a whole new world; back in time to when there were slaves. Ithink it's horrible how we took folks and made them slaves just because they are colored. This book has a good theme; what I got from it was it's not the color or the way we look on the outside that matters, it's the inside and how we treat each other that matters. I like this book because a lot of the characters who were white folks married the colored folks. It should not be looked down on just because they marry this way; I think it's nice they are able to accept each other.

Redeeming Love

I just finished reading a wonderful book; it's called "Redeeming Love," by Francine Rivers. I really enjoyed this book. It had some parts that were really sad, but it was hard to put down, and it was over 400 pages and I finished it in about two weeks, instead of several months.

Read Francine River's reason for writing this book; it's amazing how God can use a person to write a story just from something they read in the Bible! Now that is awesome. www.francinerivers.com

Doing okay

I am doing all right today. I had a long week; headaches every day and migraines. When I get a migraine, I will end up sleeping, and once this week I slept 4.5 hrs. I still had a headache when I woke up. Today though my headache is not even that bad.

fun and difficulty of creating a website.

When I first started learning Front Page 2003, I thought it was super easy and I would have no problem at all creating my website. The problem I had was that as I was learning to create a website; I had instructions to follow, so everything was easy, as long as, I followed the instructions step by step.
Then once I finished all my assignments, I became excited because I was ready to create my own website. I found it a lot of fun yet very difficult because now I had to come up with my own ideas of what to put my web page. I wanted my web page to be enjoyable to others and professional or at least one that people would want to pass on to others.
I am not yet done with my website, but I have at least be able to include all of the requirements and have figured out what I was having problems with. Like, I needed to have a picture on each page, so I have a picture of myself on the homepage because that page is about me, and then I have 3 pictures on the pages I have for the frames because when it changes, it does open a new screen, and I wanted the frames page to show a picture on each page.
I decided to have four pages; one of my pages will be of me and my friends; that one will take some time to work on because I have to get together with my friends to take some pictures. Page 2 will have in detail what things I like to do, and I'll have a picture on that site with me doing one of my favorite activities; which is mostly reading.

Life is Stressful

I started school this week, and it's been pretty stressful for me. First of all, I have had to stay at my aunt and uncle's house, although that was not the stressful part, it was the fact that I started school and I didn't want to inconvenience anybody. My aunt has been awesome being willing to give me a ride to school today, even though her son was home sick. She was even willing to pick me up from school and then when I found out that I had to stay here another night; they had no problem. It's also been stressful because I find it a tad difficult to sleep at someone else's house, even though about 5yrs ago I had stayed over night here with my mom because we were babysitting and we were needed longer than expected. Family is always there; when we need them, and for that I am truly blessed. I guess I just miss my own bed and feel bad that I am taking my cousin's bed again and he is sleeping in the living room even though he has not been feeling well.
I am taking 6 classes this semester, but I only really have assignments for one class and I have so much work to do, that I feel like I am never going to get everything done. My printer at home was not working, so I had to go to my grandpa's house to print stuff, but I think he enjoyed having the company for the short time.
I also have been suffering quite a few headaches, and a few migraines. I think they are all stress related especially since I have 4 papers due on March 2 and four quizzes to take by March 2 and they are all due by a specific time. I have taken 2 out of 4 quizzes and I am not worried about the other two; it is more the papers I have to write that I am most concerned about; especially, since I have been unable to find one of the sites information that I need to complete the assignments. I don't know what I am suppose to do because I have tried to search other ways to find what I need and have not succeeded. I just feel that I have so little time to complete these assignments.
Yesterday, I attempted to do some of my homework, but my computer was giving me some problems, so I decide to just wait until today. I decided to spend some time reading something for enjoyment and ended up falling asleep. I guess I must have been tired yesterday because I also went to bed the last two nights before 11pm which is very unusually for me. I am very tired but I can't sleep right now. I needed to do some journalling and now I think I can try and sleep.

Start Spring Quarter

Spring quarter starts February 20, and I am taking 6 classes. Three of my classes are short-term, and the other 3 classes are full-term. I'm really excited, especially because I am taking a class that will teach me how to make a webpage. I know that I am going to enjoy these classes that I need to take.

Books I am reading

I've been doing great today. I just finished reading a book called "Even in the Darkness," by Shirlee McCoy, a Love Inspired Suspense book, and now I am reading, "Promising Angela," by Kim Vogil Sawyer. It good. I'm about 1/3 of the way through it.
I have a week left of vacation before I start school. I am really looking forward to my classes. I am taking a class to learn how to create web pages and other computer classes as well. I am really looking forward to learning how to create a website though.
