So, as with the iPod, several sites have sprung up offering free Nintendo Wiis, and as with the iPod, people are actually starting to get them. Yes, they are legit. So, having already bought one myself, I'm trying to get one free for my sister. If you're interested in the Wii at all (how could you not be!), give it a shot, sign up, and help my ( Read more... )

Here's an awesome article I just found in the Wall Street Journal about the side-effects of the new Nintendo Wii ( Read more... )

GO GATORS!!!!

We're about to leave on our cruise for Christmas, and in double checking our rooms, we found a little surprise. We're not booked for the interior staterooms we thought we were. Nope. We're booked for two category 11 suites with private balconies. =-O Don't know how, but I'm not complaining!!! Check out rooms V23 and V25 on Carnival's ( Read more... )

So at the end of this past semester, I was inducted into Phi Beta Delta, the international honor society. Immediately after the induction ceremony, there was an officers meeting and the new inductees (yes, all two of us) were invited to stay.

Well, my semester is (mostly) over, and so I'm back in Titusville/Orlando to spend time with Lizzy. She now has round-the-clock Hospice care; they have estimated that she has about 3-5 days. I stopped to see her for a couple hours on my way here. She looks bad, but she sounds awful. Listening to her you'd think she'd pass away at any minute. ( Read more... )

Just got a call from my mom. My grandma's not been doing well for a few years now, but she was holding in there. Well, she had to go to the hospital a few days ago, and they can't do anything more for her, so tomorrow they are discharging her. Basically, she's coming home to die. My whole family's going there to be with her. They say she could ( Read more... )

Semester's finally in full swing, and it seems like it's going to be great. I haven't had as much fun as I've been having the last few weeks since I was in France, and before that? Blue Ridge, maybe? It's been a blast. I'm paired with a study abroad student, Florian, who's here from France for the semester. We were paired through a program ( Read more... )
