I WAS SO EXCITED TO BE ACCEPTED INTO THE 2009-2010 GEWW CREW TEAM! I AM DEFINATELY EXCITED ABOUT HELPING INCOMING FRESHMAN TRANSITION FROM HIGH SCHOOL TO THE COLLEGE LIFE. I AM A SUPER HAPPY PERSON AND HOPE THAT WITH MY ENTHUSIASM I CAN GET THEM EXCITED ABOUT ATTENDING THE UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI!!!!! GEWW IS A GREAT TIME FOR THE STUDENTS TO LEARN ABOUT ACCADEMIC PROGRAMS AT USM AS WELL AS THE FUN TRADITIONAL THINGS THAT SOUTHERN MISS PARTICIPATE IN!!!!!! WE HAVE TO BE HERE A WEEK BEFORE SCHOOL STARTS AND I CAN NOT WAITH UNTIL THE TIME FOR GEWW ROLES AROUND. I THINK THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE THE BEST GEWW CREW YET!!!!!!!!

I AM ALSO READY TO GET BACK HOME SO THAT I CAN GET SOME GOOD SOUTHERN HOME COOKED SOUL FOOD!! THE FRESH FOOD COMPANY'S FOOD DOES NOT COMPARE TO THE GREAT COOKING OF MY MAMA, ANITA BETTS. EVERYTIME I GO IN THERE THE ONLY GOOD THING TO EAT IS SALAD AND PIZZA. AS MUCH AS I LOVE PIZZA I DON'T ENJOY EATING IT EVERYDAY OF MY LIFE!!! I'D MUCH RATHER BE HAVING COLLARD GREENS, MACCARONI AND CHEESE, PORK CHOPS, SQUASH CASAROLE, CHICKEN SPAGETTI AND LOTS MORE!! MY MOUTH IS WATERING RIGHT NOW BECAUSE I KNOW SHE'S GOING TO HAVE IT WAITING FOR ME WHNE I GET HOME!! I PRAY SHE DOES ANYWAY!!

TWITTER.COM IS SOMETHING RELATIVELY NEW TO ME. TWITTER IS A SEVICE FOR FRIENDS, FAMILY, AND CO-WORKERS TO COMMUNICATE AND STAY CONNECTED. IT'S MAIN PHRASE IS "WHAT ARE YOU DOING" AND YOU'RE SUPPOSE TO ANSWER AND UPDATE FREQUENTLY SO THAT YOUR FRIENDS CAN SEE WHAT'S GOING IN YOUR EVERYDAY LIFE. I SEE IT AS BEING VERY SIMILAR TO BOTH MYSPACE AND FACEBOOK. I DON'T THING THAT I WOULD WANT TO JOING ANOTHER ONE OF THES COMMUNICATION WEBSITES. I THING THAT WE NEED TO GO BACK TO THE OLD FASHION "PICKIN UP THE PHONE" AND ACTUALLY TALKING WITH OUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY!!

I'M GOING TO MISS MY NEW FRIENDS THAT I'VE MADE IN COLLEGE BUT I AM ALSO VERY EAGER TO GET HOME! I RALLY MISS MY FAMILY && I KNOW MY FRIENDS CAN'T WAIT TO SEE MY SMILING FACE. EVERY WEEKEND BEFORE I CAME TO COLLEGE I WENT OVER TO MY AUNT'S WHERE MY ENTIRE FAMILY WOULD PLAY GAMES AND HAVE FUN! I REALLY MISS THEM!! WE HAD A LOT OF FUN IN MY FRESHMAN YEAR BUT THERE IS NOTHING LIKE FUN WITH THE FAMILY. ONLY ONE MORE WEEK AND I'LL BE BACK WITH MY FAMILY!! I CAN'T WAIT!!

I THOUGHT THAT COLLEGE WOULD BE VERY CHALLENGING BUT IT ACTUALLY WASN'T. HIGH SCHOOL WAS VERY EASY TO ME AND SEEMED AS IF I DIDN'T LEARN ANYTHING AT ALL. IN COLLEGE I HAVE ACTUALLY LEARNED THINGS THAT I WILL USE IN THE FUTURE! IN HIGH SCHOOL EACH YEAR WAS THE SAME THING WITH A DIFFERENT GRADE LEVEL AT THE TOP OF THE PAPER. MY TWO FAVORITE SUBJECTS IN COLLEGE HAVE BEEN SOCIOLOGY AND POLITICAL SCIENCE. I HAD REALLY GREAT TEACHERS IN ALL SUBJECTS(EXCEPT BIOLOGY) && I HOPE TO HAVE VERY GOOD TEACHERS NEXT YEAR!

I AM UNDECIDED ON WHAT COLORS I WANT TO DECORATE MY ROOM NEXT YEAR!! MY ROOM IS DECORATED IN A BEAUTIFUL BRIGHT PINK AND PURPLE RIGHT NOW!

I JUST REALLY WANT ZEBRA BUT HEY THE PINK AND PURPLE IS O-SO0-LOVELY!! I HAVEN'T QUITE DECIDED YET BU WHEN I DO I WILL CERTAINLY LET YOU KNOW!!!!!!!!

I AM STILL UNDECIDED ON MY MAJOR. EVERYONE TELLS ME THAT I HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TO DECIDE WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO BUT AT TIMES IT SEEMS LIKE I MAY BE WASTING TIME. I DON'T WANT TO CONTINUE TAKING CLASSES IF IM NOT SURE IF THEY WILL BE NEEDED FOR MY CAREER! I'VE WANTED TO BE A LAWYER FOR A WHILE NOW BUT IM NOT SURE IF THATS EXACTLY WHAT I WANT TO DO. MY CAREER CHOICE CHANGES WITH THE WIND. I REALLY JUST WANT TO BE HAPPY, BE ABLE TO PROVIDE FOR MY FAMILY AND ALL, AND MOST OF ALL MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN OTHERS AROUND ME LIVES!!!!!!!!

I'M STUCK BETWEEN DECIDING WHETHER I SHOULD TAKE MINI SESSION CLASSES OR DO ONLINE CLASSES!! MINI SESSION CLASSES CONSIST OF DOING A SEMESTER'S WORTH OF WORK IN ONE WEEK. YOU GO TO CLASS FROM 8- 5 WITH A HOUR LUCH BREAK! THE GOOD THING IS IT'S ALL OVER IN ONE WEEK YAY!!! WITH ONLINE CLASSES I FEEL ILL HAVE MORE TIME TO DO MY WORK AND GET A BETTER GRADE. THE ONLY BAD THING IS I'LL HAVE TO DO IT FOR THE WHOLE SUMMER!! SO MANY DECISIONS! WHAT SHOULD I DO???

On Thursday the total number of swine flu cases world wide increased to 157 since the previous total of 147. The Center for Disease Control has stated that there are 109 cases of swine flu in 11 of the United States. There has been one death in the United States because of swine flu and Mexico has announced their total number of infected people has risen to 167. This epedimic of swine flu is really scaring me!! I plan to wash my hands every hour and stay away FROM SICK PEOPLE!! YOU SHOULD DO THE SAME!

It is 8:23 in the morning and I AM UP AND DON'T HAVE A CLASS UNTIL 11:00!!! I CAN'T SLEEP! I think its because I'm so stressed about class and these upcoming exams. I pray I do well. I guess I will work on a few school assignments until 10:00 rolls around. Hopefully both my sociology and biology teachers will focuss more on what to expect on the exams next week! I absolutely hate when teachers say STUDY EVERYTHING WE WENT OVER THIS SEMESTER!! UGH! WELL WISH ME LUCK!

I'm really excieted about finding out if I have received my internship with the United Way. The Riley Foundation is sponsoring 16 different paid internships with 16 different non-profit organizations. I sent an email in to the Boys and Girls Club, the United Way and several others! I feel really good about my interview at the United Way. I found out that there are 30 other qualified applicants so my chances of getting it are a little smaller! WISH ME LUCK!!

hey!!!!!!!!!

I just finished watching COLLEGE HILL and I must say there are some very ignorant cast members on this season. On this particular episode Chris and Brandon got into a confrentation with one another. Brandon feels that Chris is jealous of him. While arguing Brandon calls Chris "out of his name" and causing him to try and hit him. The roommates try and callm them both down. I really wish they all could just get along!!!

Hey Bloggers!

I have just left my floor program. I live on Wilbur Hall Fifth floor! My RA, Sarah, planned a great program that focusses on releasing stress. She put some calm music on and first let us relax our minds. We then blew up balloons that were suppose to represent how stressed we were. Since it is close to exam time my stress level was very high! After the program I had learned many good stress relievers.
