Going to class literally "pays" off... :)

"Put more trust in nobility of character than in an oath.” –Solon

“You may be deceived if you trust too much, but you will live in torment if you don't trust enough.” –Frank Crane

Remember those two quotes...they were worth $20 to me!!!
Each week in my Hospitality Managment class, we have to write a paper for the "word of the week". This week's word was Trust. We have to define it, find 2-3 quotes about it, and write a personal anecdote related to our work about the word. Yesterday, our paper was due. I almost skipped the class, because we never do anything on Monday's but I've only skipped one class before (a whole 'nother story!), and didn't really want to make it 2. So off I went. Then Mr. Hogan told us he was going to bring the papers home and look over them and whoever had the best quote, he would bring in a prize for that person. So at the end of class today, he read the quotes from his favorite 2 papers (he couldn't choose a top one, so he chose between 2) and the quotes sounded familiar! Then he said it was mine! My prize was $20 worth of gift certificates to Carino's Italian Grill!! Now I just have to find the time to go...

The day that decides my future...

...tonight's the night...that determines the rest of my life...Ok, maybe it isn't all that serious, but it is pretty important. Today, well, actually Friday at 12:01 AM, sign-up for winter classes begins. So while most of you are nice and cozy and dreaming sweet dreams, I will be at my computer signing up for classes. I say it determines the rest of my life because...if I don't get the classes that I need, I could end up spending an extra semester at GRCC, instead of graduating in 2 years! So I'm really hoping and praying that the classes I need to take are open for next semester!
