Thoughts of a Sprite

Thanks Gals and guys!

Thanks for all the birthday wishes... especially Carmel, who posted a birthday card on her blog!

It turned out to be a pretty good weekend. Riding horses was fun, Sunday I spent mostly cleaning, grocery shopping, and Scrapbooking.... man it is coming along nicely! I am running out of pictures though, I need to get more developed!

Wednesday is my Spanish final, I am getting nervous. I have a B+ in the class now, so if I pulled an A, I would get an A... but that is damn near impossible. I have study group tonight and tomorrow all day. OH and my interview is tomorrow for the NFETC... keep your fingers crossed for me!

Sorry it is not a large update, but I have to get back to work... I will keep you posted on how the spanish exam goes. I am hoping to clep out of Spanish II on May 8th, opening up my schedule for two additional classes I could take in it's place. That puts my last semester with only two classes, and primarly focused on my senoir thesis! That would be ideal!

Factoids: Lets go bananas!
A cluster of bananas is called a hand and consists of 10 to 20 bananas, which are known as fingers.

Banana plants are the largest plants on earth without a woody stem. They are actually giant herbs of the same family as lilies, orchids and palms.

Bananas are perennial crops that are grown and harvested year-round. The banana plant does not grow from a seed but rather from a rhizome or bulb. Each fleshy bulb will sprout new shoots year after year. (didn't know that did you?)

Bananas have no fat, cholesterol or sodium

In 2001, there were more than 300 banana-related accidents in Britain, most involving people slipping on skins.

The phrase 'going bananas' was first recorded in the Oxford English Dictionary, and is linked to the fruit's 'comic' connections with monkeys.

Espanol: No quiero tomar mi examen para la clase de espanol. I don't want to take my exam for spanish class.

Okay so I found these funny packages/ labeling... there were some really bad ones, but I kept them out. Enjoy!
