this is an update

I am a newly-minted 31-year-old. (My birthday was Saturday… oh, and somebody special baked me the most delicious chocolate cake – complete with candles and chocolate icing! It was yummy!)

I opened a Twitter account, although I'm not sure why. This blog is, and will continue to be, my main hub for all things me; however, if you wish to follow me on Twitter, check me out HERE.

Summer classes began yesterday. Sixteen-week classes are condensed to eight weeks for summer session, and I'm taking Anatomy & Physiology 101 and Concepts in Mathematics; needless to say, the following eight weeks are going to be busy.

This has been an update.

(Did you know? General Motors officially launched the Saturn brand in 1990, and in the 19 years of its existence, the "different kind of car company" NEVER turned a profit for GM. The inmates [see: Bob Lutz, Vice Chairman of Global Product Development at GM] were, and still are, running the asylum at GM [as well as the UAW]. Gotta love it! "American Business – if it ain't workin' right… well, who really gives a damn!" And am I the only person who sees irony in the fact that China, in 2008, purchased more GM cars and trucks than any other country, except the United States, in the world? We buy cheap and environmentally unsound products from them, they buy cheap and environmentally unsound autos from us.)
