*singing* "Come and go with me to my Father's house...."
ok, here's another update I sent out from school.

Greetings, Salutations, Et Cetera. And anything else you might want to hear (and that would be from me, right?) :)
Piece of Advice for the Day: When your roomate asks if she can use one of your 3x5 cards for the 1,000,000,000,000th time, say yes, of course she can (like you did for the previous 999,999,999,999 times). After she takes the blank card out of the package of about 100 other blank cards, exclaim quite anxiously, unexpectedly and with much emotion, "Wait! Wait! That's the wrong card!" Enjoy the confused look on her face before laughing merrily and giving her a Very Much Owed Explanation of Yourself.
(not that I would ever do that) ;)

Last night I went off campus with Jessica and Lisa (they live in the room next to mine). We went to Chili's for dinner because Jess had a gift card there....then we went to University Mall where I bought a necklace and earring set for Fine Arts tonight and Jess bought a pair of silver shoes for tonight, and then we stopped at Wal-Mart to pick up a whole list of things for Rebecca. :) We had a lot of fun.
Today has been a farily relaxing day....and we have Fine Arts tonight. :)

Last night was the Valentine's Banquet and Fine Arts night. Martin and I went together. He gave me two beautiful lavendar roses. The dinner was sooo good--including, but not limited to, steak, chicken, vegetables, and cake (I think it was rasberry cake--it was good), and there was a candle and rose on each table. The Fine Arts performance was put on by faculty.....'twas interesting. Lots of hidden (or not-so-hidden) talent came out. We had seats near the front of the balcony, so we had a good view of everything. We had a good time.

The Rockets: Game or no game? That is the question...
Scene 1: Monday afternoon. I'm sitting on my bed doing homework. DJ comes into the room.
DJ: Veronica, do we have a game tonight?
Me: I don't think so...we were supposed to play the Timberwolves this Wednesday, but the announcement said the game was postponed. Maybe we have practice?
DJ: No, I don't think so....Christina (a mutual friend on the Rockets basketball team) knows we don't have practice, but she heard something from Rebecca about a game.
Me: I don't know....I guess I'll ask Rebecca if I see her when she gets back from class.
Scene 2: Dinner at Four Winds. Lisa, DJ and I have just left Line 2 and are carrying our trays to find a table. We run into Christina and Katie (another friend on the Rockets basketball team).
Me: Hi Christina, hi Katie!
Katie: Hey girls! We're going to win tonight, ok?
DJ and I (nearly dropping our dinner): What??!!
Christina: We have a game tonight! Didn't Rebecca tell you?
Me: Noo...I haven't seen her all day...
Katie: Well, we have one at 8:30. Hope Chardae knows about it... (Chardae is our coach...)
Me: I'll try to be there....I have an english paper to finish and another one to start research on tonight...
Lisa: If you girls are going to play, you better hurry and eat! (hint, hint)
So we ate fast, I made a record trip to the library to get the books I needed for my research paper, and we all somehow managed to find each other and the team we were playing at the Sports Center by 8:15. It was a good game, though we were beat and for some strange reason Chardae (who found out and showed up at the last minute) forgot to put DJ and me in. So we got to be the cheerleading squad for the night.

Happy Valentine's Day!
EVERY girl on campus was in red, pink, and white today. Except for the ones in black, who professed to be in mourning (which, in my humble opinion, is not having a very good attitude). I won't tell you how many times I heard, "Well OF COURSE you like Valentine's Day! You have a guy friend!" And I'm sitting there thinking, "Excuse me, but I've liked Valentine's Day for as long as I can remember...." It's always been a family day for me....and you can bet I missed them.
I got a box from home, FULL of chocolate and cookies and other good things. Nana, Mrs. Brittingham's mother, sent me a sweet Valentine with a bag of chocolate hearts, and Martin sent me a little note and bag of jelly beans. Between me, Rebecca, and Jaytee, our room is absolutely overflowing with chocolate and gratefulness. :)
Today, I got an A on my speech quiz. I got an A on my Spanish quiz. I got a D on my English quiz (I usually don't get *that* low...usually in the C-B range...).
Something is definitely wrong with the picture when you consistantly get better grades in Spanish than you do in English.

So, today I did my demonstration speech. I demonstrated how to prepare a flute for performance....I got a B on it, so I'm content. I really like my teacher, Mr. Harris. He was in my performance hour last semester (which is like a class--he's a grad student, and they often have graduate students teach undergraduate classes), so it's a little different having him for a teacher. But I like the class.
Lately, God's really been working on my life in different areas....it's a growing process, but it feels good, even though sometimes I think I don't like it at the time.
ok, I think it's time to send this out. It's taken me long enough to write it... ;)
Missin' y'all,

I am checking out your blog because I SAW Heather today and she said wonders of wonders that you had updated it!
