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!!!

well

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!

soon to start and even though I have done it in the past I cannot bring myself to do it anymore. It is such an easy gig but what I have come to see is that it has begun to be a dumping ground for some of our more overly energetic kids. While a portion of the kiddos are actually there to keep up on their education in some form or another others are just there not caring about what we are trying to accomplish which is quite disappointing. I cant really blame the kids for it is not they who signed them up for the courses but their parents. Lets switch courses here, Euro 2008, Portugal out…boo. Turkey, Germany, Spain and Russia in. GOO RUSSIA!! gotta vote for someone, so it might as well be Russia, good to see them back up in the higher group these days…it has been awhile.
