Thursday Thirteen – 19

Thirteen Things about Lindsey!

1. I found this article about my favorite comedian, Mitch Hedberg. All of his fans already knew that this was the case . . .

2. WordPress finally released WordPress 2.0! I’m too scared to try and update it myself, I’ll let Lisa do it for me, LOL!

3. Well, since New Year’s is approaching, I thought I’d point to my resolutions! I’ve got one big resolution, but I’ve also got a whole list of resolutions in my 101 in 1001!

4. I’ve been working carefully to get together information for my initial posts on my faith blog, Reading Red Letters. Also, I’ve put in a request to E. Webscapes for a layout for the blog. The blog will be started up very soon!!!

5. I registered about 25 books on BookCrossing this week! I also ordered some labels and things from them, so as soon as those come in I will begin releasing books into the wild! I hope they come in soon – I wanted to release these in Jacksonville so that I don’t have to carry them back up to Winston-Salem with me!

6. I’ve gone a bit feed crazy, LOL! I am receiving so many feeds now that hardly a moment goes by that I don’t get a new article! But that’s OK – now that I’ve subscribed to some CNN feeds, I can actually have some idea of things going on in the world. I’ve subscribed to all my friends’ blogs’ feeds so that I can keep up with them better. And I’ve subscribed to a bunch of different Christian feeds so that I will have some topics for discussion on Reading Red Letters!

7. I’ve been dilligently working on watching movies that I have on my 101 in 1001 list. I’ve rearranged my Netflix list so that the movies I’ll receive right now are movies that my dad will want to watch with me. I’ll try to watch movies that he wouldn’t want to watch when I’m at school. He’s always trying to get us to watch older movies with him, so if I arrange it so that it is productive for my list, then that makes both of us happy .

8. I have to go back to school in less than a week, and I really don’t want to. I love being here at home with my family, so I don’t much want to go back to school. Also, I still have a TON of work to catch up on from being sick.

9. Speaking of, I got an email from the head dean at our school saying:

We have completed a review of final semester grades and find that most of your grades are incompletes. You do not, therefore, have sufficient grade points to continue in the spring without a more complete explanation of the fall results and your plan for completing this work.

The Committee on Academic Affairs will meet on Jan 4 to discuss your continuation. PLease email me right away to help me understand your situation.

Well, ain’t that just dandy?! Apparently I’m not allowed to take classes next semester. Might put a damper on whether or not I’ll be graduating in May . . . I emailed him back and his response was:

I want to thank you for your email.

I believe that you have given me all the information that I will need at this point. For some reason, the indication of mono doesn’t appear on your deans’ card, but I will check into that next week.

Please continue to remain in touch with your professors and keep me informed about your progress in the courses for which you received an incomplete.

So, that seems a little better. However, the registration thing online still has me locked out due to my current academic standing. Muy frustrando.

10. Did you know that we’re going to get an extra second this year?!

11. I can’t figure out how to get album cover art onto my new video iPod. Does anyone know how to do this?

12. I still haven’t sent out my Christmas cards . . . oops. I’ve got them all ready except for the pictures and stamps. Why? We still haven’t taken out Christmas picture! Now, if you know my family you’ll know that every year since I was born my family has sent out Christmas cards to al our family and friends. When my brother Bo was born we started taking pictures of the two of us. This is the first year in 21 years that our Christmas card hasn’t gone out. Bo and I just kept being out of town at different times. First he had school and soccer, then I had Jen’s wedding, then he had a soccer tournament which lasted until the 23rd. Then, on the 26th he left to go to North Carolina. He’s supposed to come back really late tonight, so hopefully we’ll get the picture taken this weekend. I think everyone must think we’ve forgotten about them, but I promise, we haven’t!!!

13. I’ve been talking to Mama some about the design she’d like for her online business site – and I’m getting excited!!!!
