well, it is about midnight here…the kids are in bed, i am thinkin of starting my work for the classes that i am in but…nahh. watch some babylon 5 and then hit the bed. i have a conference to go to in san diego on sunday for my school. we are participating in a program that helps us identify kids that have the academics for college but not the push that is needed from family, friends, etc. we become their mentors in a sense…should be fun. other than that, i hit the five mile mark yesterday on my jogging in preparation for the hood to coast and this will be a mighty leap for me. had to do it…hope i survive. woohoo…dont forget aug 16 is the start day of the EPL or English Premier League Go BLACKBURN!!!

it looks as if i might have been doing my blogs wrong? is it supposed to be dedicated to our class and the ongoing struggles we are having or should it be about us and what we are about? well whatever the case may be i will continue to keep up my stuff about me and life and some of the stuff in class. with the wiki almost done, the reading read and comments made on others blogs…i am off and running, now to do a database assignment…YAY!
