Composition @ MindSay

about oatmeal. LOL! It's pretty funny. I have to find the first of them since I wrote it in the car on the back of an envelope. The second is safely written in my bedside notebook. There may be a third...probably the final of the series. They are short and sweet and very pointed. Sometimes I love the way my mind works.

I recently finished taking my Final Exam for English Comp I 45 minutes ago! I received an A!!!!!! Yay me!


I actually missed two questions. One for 4 points and the second for 28 points. The 28 point question was a matching question and all semester long the professor and us students were having issues with the matching questions. She kept trying to take them out and we kept trying to answer them. Even when we would answer them correctly according to the professor's key it would mark us wrong. So anyone who happened to get a matching question on the exam automatically received full points!

In other words I only missed one four point question! Woot Woot!

I am so proud of myself! Easing back into college has been an adjustment for not only me but my entire family because Mommy would disappear for a few hours if the kids were home or I would be working on my homework and Daddy would have to help with the kids' homework!

This next semester I will be taking English Comp II just to finish out my English requirments. I don't need to take public speaking because that is one of my grades that transfered from my first attempt at college as a fresh out of highschool teenager! And I pulled a high B in that class. Simply because I used my highschool speech club speeches and the professor didn't like a couple of the topics! Kids who Kill Parents as an informative speech and a Presasive speech on why I was against Public Schools making students wear uniforms.

Yay! I am happy! I have a bottle of merlot chilling for tonight's dinner since we are broke till pay day (paid bills and did holiday shopping with last weeks pay check!) to go out for dinner. I choose merlot because it will go with deer burger chili for tonight's dinner! I can't wait to actually get my grades in my hand!:D

At last, I have edited and uploaded all the videos I've been meaning to post from my "From Nebraska to Texas and Back" session with  Twee Vu on Youtube.  Here's our cover version of Natalie Imbruglia's Torn:

No I won't be one of your trophies
I won't subject myself to scrutiny
Belittle my friends
Schmooze my enemies
Hang off your arm like a silken pearl
I won't be "that wife"

I won't be the one you pick up when you are down
And drop when you climb the ladder
You won't find me splattered on the pavement floor
While you walk out the door
To your lover
I won't be "that wife"

I am the sister of calamity, the sole proprietor of despair. The silk trees of my makeshift shading of sanity are burning in the intensity of my inflamed soul. Engulfing me as locusts upon the field, the blackness of my every waking moment. I die...daily. The moment I awake from slumber my eyes are overcast gray once again. The sunshine evades me, never penetrating to the deepest regions of my soul...nay not even grazing the skin. I have become the shade, the shadow of something that is or was and is now gone from itself. The flash of my spirit as it scorches the sky leaves the husk of myself plodding through, hour after hour.
