I perhaps had the greatest experience of my life today. At work, there is a girl who has had difficult times with guys and they have treated her horribly. She is not used to having nice things done for her, and when they are done for her, she almost goes into tears and is so happy to know that someone really cares about her. She has friends, but her friends also are not very true to her and sometimes treat her like crap. So one day, when she was sick, I called her and asked her how she was feeling, and she was so touched by that because someone actually showed they cared. Well since then, she has been very nice and open with me. The other day she wanted to hang out with me, and I did because I know she needed to talk. Well I'm glad I did because she seemed so happy to talk about everything and knowing that it wasn't going to come back and bite her in the ass. I found out today from my manager that she has been talking to her and that the girl is SO happy to have me to talk to and all. She feels that she can be honest with me and knows that I'm a true friend to her. Also, she is going to senior week in a few weeks and I gave her the "fatherly" talk, which even though she laughed at it, she was very touched I found out that I gave it to her. Also my manager told me that I should definitly stick around and be a good friend to her because she needs it. And I intend to do that because she just needs someone to talk to and trust, and I know I can do that. But I thought I would share all this info with you all because it definitly made me feel good and just smile because it showed that I can bring good to someones life.

Post a comment telling me what you think my 3 best and worst qualities as a person are. Please be specific if you can, then post this meme in your journal and i will do the same for you. So far the summer has been good. I've been relaxing as well as trying to get work done on my Education portfolio and summer homework Dr. O'Connor gave us for the Ed Block. Also I'm working my usual job, so it's not too bad. The hours are good which means lots of money, which I'm very happy about. I haven't yet touched my thesis, but being that it's still May, that's ok. I already have an entire draft of it done, it's just revising parts that I know need to be fixed. I'll have to turn in a few copies here and there to Professor Striner so that he can look at it and make corrections. I'm hoping that by March or April of next year I can have it completely finished and not have to worry about it!! Anyway...that pretty much is my life in a nutshell at this point in time. Keep in touch everyone and let me know how your lives are going, especially those of you who have graduated.

Ok, ...

Ok, I think its time for me to go along with everyone else and put one of these in my journal.NUMBER OF BOOKS I OWN:Many! Though most of them are historical books dealing with the Civil War, World War I or World War II.LAST BOOK I BOUGHT:Probably a text book for my classes. Though for my birthday I got books from my Grandmother.LAST BOOK I READ:"102 Minutes" it was about the story of the Twin Towers. Telling about the people inside of them and what happened after the planes struck them on 9/11. It was a very good book, sad though.FIVE BOOKS THAT MEAN A LOT TO ME:1. Killer Angels (Micheal Shaara): This was the book that got me interested in Gettysburg and wanting to be in a career with history. I read it in 5th Grade and I've read it numerous times since. It's perhaps the greatest book I've ever read.2. Gods and Generals (Jeff Shaara): This is the prequel to Killer Angels. It tells the first two years of the Civil War and follows Stonewall Jackson on his campaigns. It gives a different side to the soldiers and is an excellent read as well.3. The Last Full Measure (Jeff Shaara): This is the end of the Civil War and tells what happens after Gettysburg. It shows the decline of the South and what General Grant and Lee go through throughout the remaining years and Appomattox. It isn't as good as the other two, but it still is an excellent read.4. Lord of the Rings Trilogy (J.R.R. Tolkien): What more can I say about these books? They are perhaps the greatest ones I have ever read and Tolkien has a great way of bringing all the characters and story to life. I was sad to see the Trilogy end because it was such a great read.5. Red Badge of Courage (Stephan Crane): Lol yes another Civil War book. Though I have many friends who thought this book was horrible, I thought it was excellent. It gave a look into the life of a soldier and how they would relate to one another. Of course I have many more I love, but I can only list five. So there ya go everybody!

Alright, since I saw this in Dave and Molly's lj, I thought I might as well do the same. Ask me three questions in the comments section and I'll answer them. Then, post this in your LJ and I will ask YOU three questions, to which you get to reply.

Well I'm hom...

Well I'm home from WAC for the semester, and it is a little surreal. I can't believe that my Junior year is over and next year will be my Senior year and my last year at WAC. The Ed. Block is going to be a lot of work, but so so so much fun. Wednesday when we all were together it was perhaps the most fun I've had in a long time. We all just click so well and the night before was great! I love knowing that we can all yell at Jeopordy and Wheel of Fortune just because we think the people are goofy and saying the hosts are wrong. It definitely will be great! Especially when Dr. O'Connor sees us as a large family already. Well I just wanted to update and let y'all know what was going on. I'll talk to you all later and I'll be down at Graduation on Sunday so if you're there, definitely say hi!
