Happy Birthday, Grandpa!

This is late, but we celebrated my Grandfather's birthday yesterday (rather than Feb. 16th).

In any case, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PAP PAW!

Basketball

Huzzah! The WVU men's basketball team has bested St. John's. (83-74)

Open Lab

The view outside the CS101 window -- (I took it at a weird angle)

Many of you know that I work for the Computer Science department... I am a proctor for the CS101 open lab on Fridays. Well, I finally got pictures of my home-away-from-home. (Sorry-- No pictures of my friends) Anyway, for your viewing pleasure. :)

The Teacher's Desk -- I sometimes steal that awesome chair

The view from the front of the classroom (where I generally stand)

Deafness Project

Today, I experienced a very (VERY) small portion of a deaf person's life. I pretended to be deaf for a couple of hours. Never in my life have I felt so helpless; I was cut off from most of the world. Most of the people I encountered didn't know what to do with me. Some were polite, some were rude, and some were very kind. But, at the end I realized I have much to be thankful for... I can communicate very easily. God has given me a great blessing; one that I often forget. Spending hours not speaking and pretending to be deaf can have a very eye opening effect.

A Beautfiul Day

After long weeks of cold, snowy weather, God sent us a warm 70 degree day. It was so nice that I studied on the deck outside my home. I hope everyone else went outside and enjoyed the day as much as I did.

Cinderella

This is a beautiful song. My brother and I heard it on the radio coming home from church; I hope ya'll enjoy it too. :)

Back again!

Well, I'm done house sitting. Playing house was great; I took care of the dogs and the house like an responsible adult. (Yes!) Dee was kind enough to stay with me, and we had a wonderful weekend of visiting, telling stories, and catching each up on our lives. School keeps us both very busy. But now I'm home safe with my family. I'll be posting on my blog again....
