Well here I am back again. I posted on one of my classmates blog about how I met some really REALLY good looking EMTs and firemen, downside was they were doing CPR on ME!!! Well I am back on my feet and working round the clock to get make up work done. Down side to that I will be researching something (a topic I want) and next thing I know 2 hrs have passed and I have accumulated enough research for the entire class. But you know what I believe that is what research is all about being captivated by your topic and having an open mind to recieve the biggest gift of all - education.
I saved working on my own blog to the very last thing tonight. Now, I am too tired to think about changing the layout.
I want to make my old school photo smaller and post some more photos, but it might have to wait until tomorrow when I am fresh and less foggy from fatigue.
