So my computer died on Thursday morning last week... needless to say that is a big bummer. I will get it checked out tomorrow at the TIC here on campus to see if its my power cord, battery, or whole frigging computer. What a nuisance. I am in the library currently. Anyway, it has been giving me a lot of time to complete educational tasks, which would have been put on the back burner otherwise. So I suppose that's good news. And I read more... maybe this is a good liberation!
Anyway, my friend Emily told me trouble comes in 3's so on Saturday, I lost my dads ring (the one I wear all the time) I turned the school upside down looking for it... don't think I have ever cried so much in front of people before. Wow, embarrassing, but needful--got my point across real well. I ended up finding it, thank goodness, in the trash can in the girls restroom. Gross. Now sanitized and back on my finger, I pretty much check it every minute to make sure its still there; tomorrow I shall make it into a necklace. It feels so strange to be attached to something that is just a basic material. It has no real meaning other than what I have attached to it. And the weird thing was that I felt very vulnerable without it. I have made this ring into a protective talisman. Its been seven years and I still need it.
Hum.... Spanish is going well. = Espanol es muy deficil! A veces no comprendo la profesora. Usted habla muy rapido! Ayer yo pase en las montanas con mi amiga Jennifer, Nosotros paseamos para cuatro horas, me izaquirda pie me duela. Mi espanol es muy mal, Si?
There's a little taste, I really like it. It makes my idea of a Spanish major sound possible, I have a long way to go though :) Biology is becoming more interesing to me everyday. Good days to come I bet.
First algebra quiz today! Wish me luck!
Love you everyone!

LOVE YOU LOTS AND THANKS FOR YOUR BLOG MESSAGE YOU MADE MY DAY. Love you sweet cheeks. Happy early Vday and see you soon.
LOVE YOU
Sounds like you are finding your groove Whit, which is pretty cool. I love you!
Whit,
Get yourself a very solid, very sturdy silver necklace. Don't go cheap and buy some thin crap made out of brass. Make sure it's the right length for you, and after that it's really quite easy to get used to having it on a chain.
Unfortunately, it never gets easier to think about parting with it.
Also, you want real liberation, ditch the TV and the Internet at your place altogether. You can't believe how much time you'll have. You ever wonder how folks like Da Vinci or Thomas Jefferson got so much done? They didn't have Survivor and Deal or No Deal. But really, who wants to live without Survivor?
Hope you're doing well, even if you don't have a computer.

I am glad you found your ring Whitney. It is just a ring, but you have attached significance to it. Kinda like a wedding ring. I know exactly how you feel because I lost my beautiful diamond out of my wedding ring. I discovered it was missing at school (cosmetology). I was so upset, totally devastated, of course I never found it. I had to have it replaced and eventually I got over the loss, but I was upset for a long time.
Aunt Mel is right..you are the strong one, but it's okay to have a symbol of your youth and your Dad.
I love you Whitney. What are you doing for Valentine's weekend? I hope the computer gets fixed.
Aunt Dee
