Sorry, to anyone who actually reads this. Well, after many confused moments I now believe that I am going to be a teacher. Journalism is a little too intense and in-your-face for me. For all of you kids out there who love it, good luck. Have you ever noticed how your fingers get cold after typing for long periods of time? OK, random.

There were a dozen, frosted smily face cookies and in 3 days I have eaten ALL of them. Oh well, they were damn good.

Susie (sorority sister, friend and partner-in-crime)had a Fourth of July party at her wonderful Pinewood abode(off of Ash St.)in Columbia.

I'll have you know, that prior to London I hadn't worn a pair of hose in probably 5 years.
