today i ventured to campus. i walked what i would guess was about a mile from my apartment to the student union. with some concentrated wondering i found the bookstore, where i found a book i needed and a little bit of a surprise. observe:
see it! see it! the little taggy bit in the middle there is my class! i was so excited when i saw it that i immediately reached in my bag for my camera, but alas, a poor confused girl was searching for something so i had to pretend i was interested in a random fast food book too. she finally moved on and i quickly pulled out my camera and attempted to take a picture, only to have my memory malfunction and have to be formatted right there in the aisle! my camera has never ever done that before, but of course when i'm trying to be quick and casual. eh...whatever, i got the shot. enjoy it!
after strolling through the bookstore and reading an adorable little posterbook titled, "Goodnight, Maine!", I made my purchases and walked outside and directly to the fogler library. and, it's gorgeous. but here's the thing, no matter how fancy, libraries just cannot handle air conditioning. this library was h-o-t. so i kept moving, tried to sit in the science/engineering section but, alas, still too hot. but look at the stacks!
after leaving the library, i sat on a bench under a tree and read until i found a tiny red bug on my hand and i started feeling itchy in general. back inside for me! i decided the student union was lovely and nicely air-conditioned, so chose one of the many plush couches and established myself with fast food nation.
that's no cnu couch, am i right?
anyway, around 5:15, i decided i had read enough for that locale and attempted to walk home. since my trip to campus was not so fun, i decided to find an alternate route. well...that was interesting, as kate can tell you, but i finally did find my way out. and, after all that, i think that route is indeed preferable. i might just take that route again tomorrow...we'll see! this little dug out was the landmark that let me know that i wasn't so lost after all :)
conclusion: being a pedestrian in maine is a pretty sweet deal. and it looks like the bat might also be a viable option.

Okay, so that was a wonderful distraction from Newport News, VA or as some call it Bad News, VA. Manda, that is sooooooo cool that your name was listed. As you probably noticed, the one beside yours only referenced "staff" - that poor professor didn't even get credit! This is definitely the beginning of big times!
About everyone waiting on your ever blogword - it's true. Okay, so like in just the past thirty-forty some hours since this started, I have checked it a minimum of ten times. Yes, ten times! Hey, maybe you can have something that counts your website hits - that could boost you whenever you feel a little down:)
Well, I'm all ready to write soooo much more but I've got to figure out two things - 1. can I really get this comment posted (I did something wrong on one I wrote earlier and it went to never never land). 2 - How many people are reading this? And who might these people be????? So I may just call you later and get these answers before I go much farther.
it worked!~!~!
JoJo....I totally love the blog. I want to say wonderful things in a terribly fancy way, but this is what you get.
Like Anita, I check it all the time, just in case there's something new. (Not to pressure you to constantly update it)
Honestly, seeing the same pages and pictures over and over thrill me.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU!
congrats professor hedrick!
you'd better keep those kids in shape.
