So, I got a 46/50 on my Weather and Climate exam!!!!! :D
I was so shocked and excited when I saw that! Especially since, acording to a friend of mine who emailed our professor, our class average was a 56! Yea!
Today was a boring day for the most part. I got up around 9 ish, and fed Bilko and all that. I decided to make eggs around 10:30. They were ok. I've had/made better though lol. I tried putting peperoni in them, because origionally they were supposed to be an omlet. It was ok scrambled though lol. Got my praxis packet from DSS, where they had it because my doctor hadn't gotten the form back conforming my blindness so I can get accomidations for taking the exam in January. Well, one of them at least. I have to take 3 tests...
Sent that off (I keep forgetting we have a mailing service on campus lol.) I hung out with Shelby and one of her friends for awhile, and then got a Gingerbread Latte from Starbucks. MMM! I'd never had one before, but I kept hearing them mentioned on facebook, so thought I'd try one. O, I finished my lesson for Wednesday, crap gotta email that to Mr. P! I just have to get the cricket cutouts (from the cricket machine, the cutouts are vowels), tomorrow, but other than that I'm done.
Well, nothing else interesting happened today, so TTFN :)

Bilko's Bloggings--I'm baaaack!
Hey all! So I know mom posted earlier about me throwing up, but I'm fine now. Honestly, she wouldn't have freaked out so much if Sara hadn't said it was white foam. I ate my dinner at 7:30 instead of 5:30 (torcher! Let me tell you!) just in case, but I've been fine ever since. I just drank my water to fast I think. Mom asked if there was any way that there could be laundry sope (what's that?) in my water bowl, but everybody pours it over the big, loud, machine thing. --Bilko, that's a washer.-- Thanks mom. Anyway. I feel fine now. So, I thought I was in the mood to write, but I'm tired, so think I'll go to bed. Here's what I posted on FB earlier: So, yesterday mom and I went to the big place with all the food and sometimes loud music, (what's it called? I don't remember), and there were lots of people and I got to see my friend Tyler! Mom talked to some groups too. Boring! I slept. Now waiting for mom to take me out. Lazy day today for me.
Pretty much sums up my weekend, other than going to this restaurant with mom and our other people we live with and a bunch of people I'd met a couple of times before. I think they were the girl called Sara's family. Mom tried to put me under her chair but somehow i got stepped on or pinched by the chair and I didn't like that. I started yelping and stood up. Then mom found that there was a bench near her I could lay under and she could still have the leash since it was where Shelby was sitting right next to her. Shelby had to jump over me though. haha!
Going to bed now, but maybe write later,

Transitions Expo 2011
Today Shelby and I spoke at the second Annual Transitions Expo at BG. We got up around 6:30, (well I did), and we walked to campus, which is about ten blocks, to be there by 8:30. It was cold! It was a nice walk though.
After a yummy coffee and blueberry muffin, we listened to LeDerrick... Horn? I think that was his last name, but I'm not sure. He has a neurological impairment and spoke of his difficulties and how he came to where he is today. Then we talked to two groups of parents of students with disabilities. There were students ranging from freshman in high school to seniors. It was really fun. There were 4 of us total. The first group wasn't very talkative, but the second was really good. Then I went down for lunch, and Shelby left. I ran into a friend/teacher at the Sight Center I did some things with a few years ago, so that was fun to see her, and she gave me a ride home, so that was nice. She helped me find Sara S, who I went to ACBO convention with last year, and so that was great to see her and little her dog too. LOL
I also got to see a girl that I went to camp with a few years ago, who's now a Sophomore in high school. She has a visual impairment. I then talked on a panel for students. It was called "learning after high school," and there was me, a girl from a two year program, and a man who was in an internship program type thing. It was a really nice mix of people and representations, and at the end I got a business card from one of the Special Education coordinators at TPS! He wants me to try to get in to wherever he is for methods. he said "we're always looking for highly enthusiastic methods students," or something to that effect. I was really excited.
Now we're getting ready to go to Outback Steak House with Sara's family for her uncle's birthday.
11:07 pm We're back, and it was fun. I love Sara's grandma, and her family is so fun! We got lost trying to find a mall, but we did it, and I got a cool clock puzzle for my classroom, and a nerf basketball set for Alex and Mason. I had this really cute pair of shirts, but they were $50, and I wanted to get the toys lol, so I didn't get it and am asking for it for Christmas. Sara took a pictchre.

Song, song of the south
Sweet Potato Waffles and I shut my mouth!
Ok, yeah I know that's not the right words, but it goes with my post, because that's exactly what I'm writing about! Yes folks, I had sweet potato Waffles this afternoon! Shelby had been talking about this place in town called "Mile's Bakery," for weeks. Yesterday, she said she had Sweet Potato Waffels, and I decided I really had to try them. After Shelby was done with classes for today, we walked there. It’s only crossing the street at the end of campus by the dorm “Founders,” then crossing Wooster, turn right, walk until you cross the tracks and a little parkinglot entrance, step up on the sidewalk and turn left, and it’s on that block, but I’m not sure how many doors down it was. We’re planning on going next week again so I will count. Not that anybody actually cares about how you get there, but I put it in for my own reference hahaha!
They were sooooo good! They could have been a little warmer, but we came late in the day so they probably weren’t really serving them much longer or something, and they were still really good! They came with these Candied Almonds on top, and a little cup of sirup, (I just dipped the waffles in it, less messy. :)
I also got a Pumpkin Chi Latte. That was good, but reeeeally sweet! Especially with the waffles! Lol
I couldn’t even finish the waffles since that combined with the latte was too sweet, but I ate all but a few bites of them. I ended up asking for a cup of water. Lol
In conclusion, (I sound like I’m writing a report!), The waffles were good, but don’t get the pumpkin Chai Latte with them. Get one or the other, but not both.
Now that I’ve gone and made you all hungry, I’m going to post this and probably work on my lesson plan for next Wednesday.
