I'm listening to: Craig David. The guy has a delicious voice.
Current mood: Tired of writing dang papers!
Important Dates: Um... last Wednesday was Valentine's Day...

Hello. Do you remember me? Once, in an age far gone, I updated this diary at least once every other week. Then an ominous thing called homework (2 group presentations, 2 research papers, and a frightening amount of French grammar exercises) got in the way. And, er, maybe some laziness too. I suppose I can't blame it on my cafeteria's crunchy lasagna, either...
Anyway, I think I've set a new record, y'all. This is officially the longest I've gone without updating you guys on the wonderful, terrific, fantabulous story of KD's life. I profoundly apologize for any grief, frustration, disappointment, Pink Eye, influenza, or any other afflictions I may have caused to befall my darling reader(s).
Anyway.
Here I am, almost done with my fifth week of college and loving it! Getting around the campus becomes easier by the day, and I'm meeting awesome people. Like the girl who wants me to join her serority and therefore invited me to a Mardi Gras party where they had chocolate-covered strawberries; the 2 readers I have for French; the girl who watched a (very lame) movie with me for class; and my reader for Spanish who enjoys making fun of me at every possible opportunity.
I shall now, as a compensation for not updating this diary in eons, describe my new college life in more detail for you.
I really like my Spanish class. The teacher is fun and lively; she reminds me a lot of one of my teachers in high school. Like I mentioned before, I have a reader for that class (someone who dictates homework assignments out of the textbook for me). His name is Jeremy, and he's a technology nerd. He also enjoys mocking me. You may be surprised, but I'm OK with that. What I enjoy most is being treated like a regular person, not the porr little blind girl.
My Alternative Societies course has to be my least favorite. I just got done writing a paper about the lame film adaptation of the book we read. Twas not fun. I did, however, take a break to watch American Idol, and Jordin's still in the competition! Yeah!!!
My French class is also great. The teacher is very willing to work with me, and one of my readers in that class is an actual foreign exchange student. That's cool because I can ask her things like, "Do you guys REALLY say 'les couriers electronique' when referring to email?" (For the record, they don't.)
My speech class is OK. The teacher's cool, and I didn't fail my first test! Booya! However, the guy who reads my textbook on CD sounds as if he has a mouth full of saliva. It's rather disgusting.
I have the same teacher for both women's choir and voice lessons and she's awesome! It's funny, though, because we'll be talking about something totally relevant to the music we're doing, then she'll go off on a tangent and not remember how the heck she got so off-topic in the first place. For my individual voice lessons, I'm singing 2 English songs, 1 Ave Maria (which is in Latin, obviously), and a gorgeous piece of French poetry. 'Tis very exciting.
In other news:

1. A representative from The Seeing Eye is totally coming to visit me a week from today!!!! If he approves of my cane skills, I'm totally getting a dog in July!!!!! Sadly, my class will start on the 21st, the release date of Harry Potter 7... but hey, I can multi-task!
2. Not only am I going to Atlanta this summer for the NFB convention, I'm also going to Baltimore over spring break for an NFB seminar, all expenses paid!!! I love the NFB...
3. Beyonce kicked BUTT when she performed at the Grammys, and she won one as well! She's also going to be on the Academy Awards this Sunday, and I believe she's nominated for Best Actress or something.
4. I'm really tired and think I should go to bed before I keel over and fall asleep atop my keyboard.

I swear I shall update sooner! Parting thought: 'CAUSE THEY MINE! AND THEY GOOD!!! (Quote from Bubbs, a character on Homestar Runner)
