Thanks guys (and gals).

Congrats Remarkable and Bailey!!

I passed my Algebra honors class with a C, and got all A's otherwise. I actually got a 92 on the exam! I won't mention to my parents the 20 point curve. LOL :D I came out of that exam, in tears, too.

Out where the cotton grows

Down in the fields where the cotton grows.
Where the irrigational system flows.
Where the tallest stalks of corn grows.
In a little town no bigger than my own.
Out in the East where the cotton grows.
Blooms no bigger than the palm of my hand.
In the Delta of little ol' Arkansas.
Where the the cotton grows .
Two hundred pounds by hands a day.
Out in the sun his seven kids to play.
Great grand daddy Smithee picking away.
Where the cotton grows.

congrats Robin. so that's why you haven't been around in such a long time?

More or less. Honestly, I probably could have found the time, just didn't find the courage to pop back in after so long, which only got longer. =(

By the way, congrats on your 3113rd post!

I'm thinking Mechanical Engineering. My college has the best MechE program in the country, if I do say so my-biased-self.

By the way, congratulations, Sweets - there's an awful lot of BEAUTIFUL country up thereabouts.

Yes, my beloved, stick it to your wall, to the base of your computer monitor, to your fridge, your microwave... and remember this wouldn't be SO scary if you had not dreamt of it for so long and so ardently!

Niiiiiiiiiiiice!!!

My achievement at the moment:
A)Getting up to page 19 on the story I'm working on writing *yay!*

and B)My Tetris highscore... 29 847... come to think of it, maybe that should have come first...

Thanks Fifth, Kiz, Shea and Niamh!:) :)

Bailey, I'm going to study at Southern Oregon University.:) It is located just next to the Californian border.:) :)

Petrarch, yes I had planned that when I chose my username.:D Sweets has always wanted to be in America.:)

not much of boast, but...
I made my first drink yesterday. I made some screwdrivers for my Grandma and myself. i had no clue what I was doing. after my grandma tasted hers, I asked if I did it right and she said yes. But the way she said "Oh yeah, it's gooood." kinda tells me I made it a bit too strong :D. Oh well.
