Where in the world did my weekend go????!!! I have to go to bed and I didn't even make a dent in everything I need to do. I've been lost on the internet doing some research all day. Argh! I need another day, dangnabbit!

Man, I am so digging this school I'm going to. Not only do I have an instructor who has worked in the field for many, many years and is very good at what he does, but he is also a no-nonsense kind of guy. He sets deadlines and you either adhere to them or your grade tanks. The fact that he loves the work I'm doing doesn't hurt, either. That's another thing: he's not afraid to let you know when you're screwing up or when you're doing well. I really like that. The first couple fo weeks I was really scared of the guy, but I started talking to him more this week and he's really cool.

I found out the other day that the receptionist that I talk to everyday is actually the wife of the school's president. When they told me this school was family-run, they weren't kidding. Last Wednesday they held a BBQ for the faculty and students in the parking lot. The president was letting students throw water balls at him. It was so cool. I'm sure I would've had a better time if I had known some people. I've only been there 3 weeks and I haven't really had time to make any friends yet. I'm so surprised at the amount of men that go there. There is only one other girl in my class of 20 people. You'd think that women would be more into artsy stuff, but I guess not.

I just got the Sims' Hot Date for my iMac a couple of weeks ago. I've been so busy that I haven't had time to play with it except for a ew minutes after I installed it. It seems pretty cool. So, not only do I have to wait for the Mac release of Vacation, but now they're going to be releasing Unleashed in September for the PC. I'm so jealous. It ought to be ready for the Mac in a year or so. Boooooo! Oh, well. I won't have time to waste on playing the Sims until I'm done with school anyway. Right?

Wow! Here's a horoscope that I really wish was true:

Dear Ladonna, here is your Horoscope for July 20, 2002

Have you been looking for a new job, Ladonna? If so, you might hear of an opportunity today from a totally unexpected source. This could mean that someone whom you'd never suspect brings it to your attention, or it could be in a new and unusual field. One way or another, as weird as it may seem, it's worthy of consideration. Look into it either way, and get all the facts before acting.

Best wishes for today, from the Astrologers of www.astrocenter.com.

Ok, so a couple of memes isn't a lot of interesting content. I'll have more time for posting tomorrow, I promise!

1. Where were you born?
Denver, Colorado (Presbyterian Hospital)

2. If you still live there, where would you rather move to?
Honestly, I don't want to live anywhere else as far as the region goes. I'd love to move onto some acreage Northwest of the Denver Metro area, though. The area between Broomfield and Loveland is really nice.

3. Where in the world do you feel the safest?
Here, at home.

4. Do you feel you are well-traveled?
No. I used to be back in the day of band tours, but since I got out of college, I've been to Texas and Tennessee and that's about it. *sigh*

5. Where is the most interesting place you've been?
Hawaii, I think. It was beautiful, a different culture, yet still a part of the United States. I'd really love to go back there, except that I'd have to go alone (or with someone besides Marcus since he won't fly).
