Update, May 21st:
1. I have a new renter. You will look upon his blog and laugh. I did. It's very clever and lots of fun. Check it out.
2. I got a part in that play! I call it a pity part. A thank you part for showing up. If you don't know what I'm talking about... read on.

What you'll be reading about today:

1. My first day of classes
2. An unexpected audition
3. A nut
4. Some questions I have about my blog

I started my classes today. I'm only taking 2 but both should be kind of challenging. On Monday through Friday I have Foundations of Mass Communication from 8:00-9:30, and Tuesday through Thursday from 11:30-12:45 I have Newpaper Fundamentals. The latter is going to be extremely difficult. There are 4 tests and I have to make an 83 or above on each test or I fail the course. An 82.9 or below is an automatic F. If you make below an 83 on any of the tests, you have ONE CHANCE to make it up. However, if you make an 83 or higher on all of the tests you're finished by June 28th, rather than August 1st. So I'm going to study like a mad woman and hopefully keep it at an 83 or above. It's a weedout class for more than one Liberal Arts major. I'm in Public Relations. Also, my communications class is a mini-mester, which is why I have the class daily. That means I'll be done with it on June 26th. If I do well in that super hard class I'll actually end up with some sort of summer vacation. That would be wonderful.

I auditioned for a play today. I actually wasn't going to audition, I went to support a friend. Sadly, my friend and I were the only 2 that showed up so I went ahead and read for 2 parts. I'm not expecting to get a role and I really don't want one... I have the worst stage fright in existence. Although, I did somehow manage to pass Public Speaking with a B... I think it was because I have a pretty quirky personality and did my speeches on things like The Jersey Devil and Dragon*Con rather than sad things like drunk driving deaths and drug addictions. You gotta keep things light! Nobody wants to know how many teens die a year from drinking and driving! Do they? Well I don't.

Man, I encountered the STRANGEST woman today. I was walking to my second class and I noticed a person with some crazy frizzy hair wearing black socks and black tennis shoes with white shorts and a grey sleeveless (the sleeves had been cut off, the shirt wasn't made that way) t-shirt. I soon realized it was a 30 something woman powerwalking on campus. I mean, Auburn does have quite the lovely campus but... I'm pretty sure she wasn't a student or a teacher. I ended up coming within 3 feet of her because we were going in the same general direction. She looked me right in the eye and said, "It's just a perfect day!!! Isn't it!?!?!" And I said, "Yes, it's really nice outside today." And it was nice today. What wasn't nice was the fact that she had bright pink lipstick covering the front of every tooth in her mouth. Now don't get me wrong, I also pile my makeup on before I go outside to sweat it off... But I do try to at least keep it off all of my teeth.

Okay, so, I made this layout on the 14th but there are still some things I'd like to work on... And if anybody knows how to help, please feel free to comment.
*First I'd like to know if it's possible for me to make those dang, slow loading pictures i have up not load on the main page, but only when you read that specific entry. I know they have this feature on livejournal, i believe it's called an LJ cut.
*Second, does anyone know CSS? Because I'd like to move my sidebar farther to the left and add a border. I want my blog to look a little cleaner.

That's it, that's all I've got for today. No pictures, they're a pain in the ass. But don't you worry, they'll be back.

thanks
and wow. good luck with those classes.

As far as your blog goes, I'd get rid of the DVD thing you have on the side with all the pictures or instead just list them as text. It's kinda un-needed and can affect load time as well.

danke
for the welcome. Good luck with your studying, I know I'd be dead by now. I'm quite the procrastinator.

Good luck with the strange people too. :P

What's up?
Great layout, you can make it look more captivating by adding a couple of more pictures of yourself. Have a good one and good luck with the tests (btw, all that studying is crazier than a strange woman's frizzy hair)
