It was Bad! REAL REAL BAD!!!

So I took my QBA test yesterday. I cried while I drove home. It was the hardest test I have ever taken in my life. I just thought other tests were hard. They don't hold a candle to this one. He handed it out, and I swear I almost started to cry. I prayed Lord give me the strength to take this test. I tried my hardest. I am pretty sure the only question I got right is my name. and I might not have gotten that right, because I put my middle name not my first. I have been e-mailing back and forth with the girl who sits next to me in class. I e-mailed her last night and said, "Yeah I am pretty sure I failed that one." She wrote me back, "Yep me too, but I answered all the questions." Maybe he gives extra points for effort. I doubt it.

Yeah I Don't Know Either!

Yes Ladies and Gentlemen, look closely and you will see what my test is going to contain. Thats right it is a bunch of giberish!!! Its called Quantitative Business Analysis. I have a test in there tomorrow night. God has smiled upon us and our prof said for the first test we can use our book and our notes. I hate to tell hime they really aren't that much help! But something is better than nothing I guess. It is going to be no fun but the count down has begun. I have exactly 87 days until I graduate with my master's degree. WAHOO FOR ME!!! That actually equates to 12 more classes of QBA. Thats three more tests in that class, plus homework. That is just this class. That doesn't count the other two classes that I am taking. For my first management class all I have left is: 11 assignments, 12 quizzes, 12 bulletin board discussions, and a paper. For the other managment class I have three papers, two case studies, 7 quizzes, a simulation game (YUCK!), and the final. What I am really trying to do is do as much paper work as humanly possible before I graduate. I think I am on the right track! I moan and groan a lot about school, but really and truely I know that once I finish my MBA it will all have been worth it!

We Will Never Forget!!!

i just raed my Mom's blog, and started to cry. I remember where I was the very second I got the call about the Twin Towers. I was living in the dorms at school, it was only a few minutes after 8am, and my Mom called me and said "Baby Gator we need to pray!" I said "What's going on?" Mom said turn on the TV, a plane has just hit one of the World Trade Center Buildings." I turned on the tv and woke up my roommate just in time to see people running from the buildings covered in ash and bleeding and crying. Then we saw it...another plane hit the other tower. We began to cry. Those poor people they had no idea, they did nothing wrong, they were civilians! Regular people like me and you. I too remember the sceen of President Bush reading to those children, and the look on his face when the aide told him the news. Then there is was again...another plane....the Pentagon was hit too. Then the plane in the Pennsilvania (sp?) field. Then suddenly we are at war. I didn't know anyone in those buildings, I didn't know anyone on those planes, but I did know several people that would go and fight for America's freedom. And that was a scary thought. Suddenly my class sizes had been cut by an extreme amount, many men and women after that day went to enlist to fight for our protection. Within hours of the towers being hit, the nursing school at WT had set up a blood drive, and everyone on Campus, and in town had lined up to give their own blood. I tried to donate, but it had been less than 5 years since I had been out of the country, so I stayed to help where I could. Pass out cookies, and take people names. A few days after 9-11 I went home to C-town to visit my family, and I took the long way back through Amarillo, and as you are coming into town there is a walkway that goes over I-40. People were holding flags, yelling, and holding banners that say WE LOVE AMERICA!!! WE WILL NEVER FORGET!!! I wish I had a picture of that scene. In case anyone reads this post, I just want you to know that I will NEVER FORGET!!! I am also about to be married to a man that I know for certain will never forget. Because of this day only 5 short years ago he got to have to round trip tickets to fight for our freedom. Always remember and NEVER FORGET!
