Awsome Skills!

I was messing with my palm today and realized it needed an update really bad. I hadn't given it an update previous to today because I forgot my cable, but it needed an update. I found out that my laptop has an infrared port right on the front. If you don't know, most palm pilots use infrared to transfer and receive data. So I thought I'd try having my palm talk to my computer thrgouh this infrared port on the front. I ran into problems straight away. My computer was picking up a signal, but my palm wouldn't connect. So I messed with the settings on both devices and...presto...right? Not! I still couldn't get anything. I worked for a couple more minutes and by the end I had both of them talking. I was pretty extatic that I got it to work all by myself. Now I am able to update it whenever I want! :)

Snow!

I was getting jealous of all the snow back home. I wanted some here. All we were getting was cold and bitter winds. Then just this morning at about 1:00 a.m. it started to snow! Though we got about 1/50th of an inch. I was excited though because the weatherman says more is on its way. However, riding a bike on snow and ice is a little difficult. I can do it! :)
Classes are still going just fine. My grades are up, which is good so I can keep my scholarships. Institute classes are awesome. Speaking of which, I'm going to try out to be in the performance of the "Messiah" in December. That will be pretty fun. Also, the choir has a performance in two weeks. There is a lof of singing to be done!
I look forward to Thanksgiving break. Although it might not be so fun this year because I have a dentist appointment the day before. Maybe that will help me not to eat so much...haha...probably not. I think I have a ride home for Thanksgiving, but I'm not sure yet. I just might hop on my bike...no...that's a bad idea. :)
