Mid-Day Report for 13th of February

It's mid-day in Orleans Parish (Da Big Queasy) and I'm writing this from Computer Center for the College of Business Administration (CBCI) at Kirshmann Hall, computer #47. The sun is shining, the birds are out, the people are wearing skimpy clothes because its 75 degrees (especially women) - this is the New Orleans that I know!

To give you an update on Monday and Tuesday, here's the blog for both days (Tuesday being up to this point, an afternoon blog might or might not be written).

Monday began well. I got to campus a wee-bit late because of traffic. Shelly was alerady at a table, so I joined her. She had Starbucks Coffee, I had a Sour Green Apple. We talked for a couple of minutes, then we each did our homework, and left it at that. I bidded her adieu and went to my Major American Writers (English Department) class.

Major American Writers went off without a hitch, though I have to analitcally write a paragraph on an Emily Dickinson novel for Wednesday. Then I went to Biology. Gawd, that class is so boring! She is such a slow speaker. What a long hour and fifteen minutes. After her class, I ate my lunch quickly and jumped to the main computer center at the Earl K. Long Library, right in the heart of campus, between all the buildings. I printed up projects and waited until my meeting on the 3rd Floor of the library.

My meeting went well. I then spent 20 minutes editing it and e-mailed it off to the entire board. I took the highway (I-10 Express Westbound to Kenner via Metairie), but instead of keeping on the highway to Kenner, I took an exit right on the border between Metairie and Kenner next to Clearview Mall. I drove down Veterans all the way to Office Depot. I stopped over to Office Depot to pick up some folders, then drove down Power Blvd. home.

At home, I did homework, ate dinner, checked my e-mail, and watched CSI: Miami.

This morning, a tornado hit metro New Orleans near my home on Downman Road in New Orleans East. My alerady hurricane-ravaged, gutted-out home got no tornado damage, though most of Downman Road, the street I used to drive on to get to the University of New Orleans Pre-Hurricane Katrina recieved substantial damage. Some schools were closed due to power outages from the storm.

This morning, I got to school around 7:40 A.M., and I sat down with my date-filled cookies and my Philadelphia Cream Cheese sandwich and ate breakfast. It was rather good. I did homework for Political Science, then went to my Political Science class. It was a tiring class because the weather is hot and the topic of Politics and Stats in war isn't a good topic to begin the morning on.

After that, I had an early lunch and find myself here, typing this. I really should finish this soon because I have a class downstairs for Economics, then I'm going to Math.

Hopefully, if I don't forget or get tired, I'll write an afternoon blog. But, for now, I leave you with these words:

"Personally, I'm always ready to learn, although I don't always like being taught."
